Saturday Overnight Open Thread (8/7/21) 2nd Attempt

Saturday Night Joke


I just got back from Walmart and I have to share this! I found myself behind a grandfather and his badly-behaved grandson. He had his hands full with the child screaming for sweets, cookies, all sorts of things. The granddad was saying in a controlled voice, "Easy, William, we won't be long . . . easy boy."
Another outburst and I heard the granddad calmly say, "It's okay William. Just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of here. Hang in there, boy."

At the checkout the little horror was throwing items out of the shopping cart and Granddad says again in a controlled voice, "William, William, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes, stay cool William."

Well, I was really impressed, so I went outside to where the grandfather was loading his groceries and the boy into the car. I said to the Grandad, "It's none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it! That whole time you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying that things would be okay. William is very lucky to have you as his granddad."

"Thanks," said the Granddad, "But I'm William. That little shit's name is Kevin."

Funny commercial? You be the judge.

YES, YES, YES? Would you pay £3,000 to zap your bits with a laser to have an orgasm?

THERE are lasers for every type of beauty fix these days – removing hair, ironing out wrinkles, not to mention lifting and tightening all sorts of body parts.

But there’s one area I never thought I’d ever let a laser go anywhere near.

Teen critically hurt in DWI crash jumped on car hood to stop twin brother from driving, cops say

The siblings of a West Caldwell 18-year-old charged in a drunken driving crash that seriously injured his twin brother begged him not to get behind the wheel as he tried to leave a house party in town, according to authorities.


Anthony Dattoli was “obviously intoxicated” when he made his way to an Audi A4 parked outside a home on Annin Road early on the morning of June 27, according affidavit of probable cause filed in support of the charges.

Dattoli punched his sister in the face and then his twin brother jumped on the vehicle’s hood as they tried to stop him from driving, authorities said.

I last rode the Metro in early 2018. Back then, they were crowing about how much it had improved in the last few years and were promising more improvements to come. My impression was that the lines I rode (Reagan National to Rockville) were probably some of the better lines. The only time things bogged down was during morning rush hour when the train was overloaded and moved slowly as it left the stations.

We used to smuggle a case of Miller Lite cans into work at one kitchen job I had in my early 20s.

Everybody would take turns leaving the line and shot gunning beers in the walk in cooler and we kept a mop back there to poke up the drop ceiling tiles and chuck the empty cans.

One morning I came in and the kitchen manager said "You know anything about this?" and led me back to the prep room in front of the walk in where a decimated ceiling tile lay amongst probably 500 beer cans, half a dozen pint bottles and a couple of dozen whipped cream canisters. The Assistant KM was still on a ladder raking more shit out with a broom handle.

Couldn't help but laugh. Our entire kitchen staff was on extra cleaning duty for the next two weeks.

UK SAGE group (these are the Top. Men.) put this paper out recently, what's gonna happen with the 'Rona:

https://tinyurl.com/vub2bmma

The Top. Men. say this:

Whilst we feel that current vaccines are excellent for reducing the risk of hospital admission and disease, we propose that research be focused on vaccines that also induce high and durable levels of mucosal immunity in order to reduce infection of and
transmission from vaccinated individuals. This could also reduce the possibility of variant selection in vaccinated individuals.

Don't try to use the fake vax cards -- it will just give them an excuse to go after you big time. Also, even more, don't try to use faked documents for international travel. Foreign laws will apply.

Canada has already fined two Americans about $20K a piece for trying to enter with fake vax docs. They could have charged with far more serious offenses and thrown them in jail. Which they will soon do.

The CDC has been given by statute any role in issuing a legal federal document that citizens are required to have on them and therefore using a document not issued by them cannot be illegal - they aren't a licensing agency - they make recommendations on public health matters for fucking Gods sake.

This is where we are - we're literally suggesting the CDC is the Federal Licensing of People's Health Department...

He did so because the First Sgt of the Army unit he was interpreting for told him "Get out now.

Have you noticed that a constant thing in movies is where older men are hooking up with very young women?

Whether its a movie with Pierce Brosnan, Bruce Willis, or whoever, the age difference between the male and the female leads is usually father/daughter or more. It is like they are normalizing and telling old, fat, balding men that they still "have it" and women all over the place are ready and willing to fall in love with you.

Sadly, many people in power buy it, and hence you get perverts in political or business power who think like those who produce these movies and truly feel that women half or a third their age really dig the older men and want to get bed down ASAP.

They can't tell fantasy from reality.

I mention the Dec 2020 (pre vaccine) delta variant bullshit because the current Narrative, especially on the misinformation platform, twitter, is:

--the delta variant [just] developed because everyone didn't rush out and get biden's vaccine immediately because "the far right" and red state governors were spreading misinformation and ssitrust about the biden's cure, thus it gave the virus time to mutate into the delta before biden's vaccine could eradicate the virus.

In other words, because of You and Trump and Desantis and your anti-science, biden's vaccine missed the window of opportunity to do its job.

360 "In other words, because of You and Trump and Desantis and your anti-science, biden's vaccine missed the window of opportunity to do its job."

imo, from what I can gather, subject to change -- There are variants, and the mass vaccination effort has sped up the adaptation of the new variants (because as the vaccine wanes, some virus survives, and that is the resistant variant that is harder to kill.

That is why the (genuine) smart guys are saying the mass vaccination is wrong ... should only be for the vulnerable. But I think they say now "too late", the machinery is in motion for variants that will in time be resistant to the vaccines.

Facts are becoming illegal ...

361 >> thus it gave the virus time to mutate into the delta before biden's vaccine could eradicate the virus.

Idiocy. For so many reasons. Delta first appeared in India, it was called the Indian variant before, for woke reasons, they started with this Greek letter bullshit.

Look at India's curve:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
country/india/

The second peak there is almost a classic SIR curve. And the whole thing looks like a classic two-wave (seasonal) epidemic curve. Note it is waning, no third spike (yet). That's you delta right there.

What's India's vaccination rate? less than 10% fully, and about 28% "partially" as a of now. Idiots are ramping up the vaccine, and that will make a third wave if they manage to get enough vaccinated.

That statute is intended to prevent the fraudulent use of a government agency's documents to con either the government or the public out of something material - ie property. Nothing in that statute suggests that the CDC is an authorized licensor of vaccination proof and if you copy that card you are conning the public or the government out some sort of material property. You'd get laughed out of court.

https://market-ticker.org/cgi-ticker/
akcs-www?post=243182

When did we start vaccinating in mass here? Look at the US curve. We started vaccinating on the trailing side, around the first of the year. We had already peaked and were well into the tail phase when we started.

What happened. We got a little uptick around April, then trailed off, and now a third wave is ticking up again.

THeory: spike vaccination fucked up natural immunity of those who had recovered, thus *increasing* the susceptible fraction. The vaccines are the cause of the the third wave by fucking up natural immunity.

We had peaked. We were at herd immunity. We fucked it up.

I see. Now the vaccines overwrite natural immunity (and likely overwrite that preexisting cross-reactivity recognition):

That's what vaccination does to natural immunity. See the spike vs non-spike fraction. Total recognition is reduced, and the spike becomes the dominant fraction of the remainder.

Got to your local farm/ranch supply store, and buy either the "apple-flavored" paste for orally dosing horses, or the 1% injectable for dosing cattle. No prescription needed. Dose yourself according to weight. Some Morons here have tried the apple-flavored paste, and said, "it's nasty, but I got it down OK." The injectable is a clear liquid, and you can simply add it to a beverage like coffee.

If you must have "human" Ivermectin, go to Americasfrontlinedoctors.com, do a teleconsult, and get a prescription which one of your local pharmacies might fill.

Zettai, OAS is most likely to be a problem in a scenario like this. By vaccine, you're biased toward the spike, and your immune system is primed for that particular spike.

Virus mutates that spike away to something completely different. Existing immune memory does nothing for it. They try to make a booster with an update spike profile. OAS will tend to make your immune system favor the previous spike antibodies, and the booster gets diminishing returns.

Here's all I'll say about gambling. The expected return is less than zero. The house always wins, IOW. It's a losing proposition, statistically, and that's built in the game. That's how the house makes money.

Now, say a friendly pure game of chance. That's zero expected value of return. A friendly poker game is similiar, but skill does a play a role, so a skilled player can manage a positive expected return.

Steve, scratch tickets, and VLT's are the crack cocaine of gambling. You play, you lose, and the gambler's fallacy kicks in. (well, if I lost the last X number, I am sure to win the next one)

The big lotteries are not so bad. A couple of bucks gets you in the game, and the draw is a few days hence, and there is no way to improve your odds by drawing or doubling down, whatever. And just buy one ticket. Buying more just increases your expected losses.

that is true, no doubt there. I know in VA poker games not for profit were legal for ages is they were not "regular". Back in the day a skilled player had a huge advantage. The swings were still crazy and if you didn't have the roll, you would likely end up felted.

publius, that's one of the reasons I prefer hold'em poker. You're actually not playing against the house; you're only playing against other people at the table. And for the record, casinos *rarely* employ people to play on their behalf.

The casino only makes money off the poker game by charging a rake of a few dollars, which usually is paid every 8 to 10 hands. In fact this is one of the reasons a lot of casinos don't offer or don't want to offer poker; they don't make nearly as much money from it as other games, such as blackjack.

that is absolutely true. They make much less of poker. They hate that the poker boom happened because they had to use so much of their space for poker rooms. But the thing is, they win every hand and they have nothing to lose because it is not their money.

That alone should demonstrate how much they make on the other games. It is sad but true, they make the most off of the "easiest games" like the slots.

That reminds of another interesting thing about skill vs chance in various games. Not just games of chance but sports like tennis, baseball, football, etc, etc.

The idea was try to come with a skill vs random chance factor. How much a particular game depended on skill vs how much random factors. I wish I could remember, he came up with values for baseball, and others, and it was interesting.

Anyway, the hypothesis was there's a sweet spot that makes a game the most fun and interesting. In any game, save for a pure random chance game, if there's enough difference in skill, the most skilled player will win consistently. However, as skill becomes matched, random factors determine winner more and more.

You want it to depend on skill enough that you have various high-value players who you can root for and have higher chances of winning, but yet have enough random chance to make it interesting.

481 IMHO the most economical way to play poker is to play low-level tournaments.

You pay $40 or $60 or $80 and get 4000 or 8000 or 10,000 pretend chips marked 25, 50 and so on. Then you start playing. If you do well, you play longer and maybe even get paid back your entry fee plus a little more. If not, at least you capped your loss.

Skilled backgammon players win probably 55 to 60 percent of their games against lower skilled opponents, the rest is chance.

Posted by: Zettai at August 08, 2021 12:32 AM (In4ZS)

488 Quint, the rake is taken every hand, but not from every player. It goes around the table and on a full table, there's 8 or 9 players.

For instance, at the game I play at most often at Hawaiian Gardens, it's $40-80 no-limit hold'em. You can buy in for $40, $80 or anywhere in between.

There's a "small blind" and a "big blind." Meaning, you have to make one bet without seeing any cards, and one half- or third-bet without seeing any hands, every time it's your turn around the table, and they go by player around the table. The blinds are usually something like $2 and $1, or $3 and $1. Again, you only pay this once every 8-9 hands, as the dealer goes around the table.

Also, the blinds are followed by a 'dealer' button. That means that outside of the first round of betting, you get to act last, which in poker provides a big advantage.

Hope this makes sense...

I am trying to believe you. Lol, just kidding. Sure if you are not in the hand, they don't take a rake from you. But from my understanding, every hand that takes a flop is raked. With a few execptions, maybe 20 percent of the time at best, the casino makes money off every hand. You personally are not raked if you never put money in.

497 the other thing about many famous poker pros like Stu Ungar, they were degenerate gamblers. I don't say that judging, but they loved to gamble so much they pissed away a lot of it on games where they were not the best. So many poker pros piss it away on blackjack. It is like a golf pro risking their money on ping pong.

Posted by: Quint at August 08, 2021 12:37 AM (CJtAX)

498 I do remember reading something about the House sometimes makes more than their expected return on some games. And the reason is because the players play *poorly*. That is some guy thinks he got a "system" and plays against what the odds dictate. House wins even more.

I've played poorly sometimes in Vegas, stayed up late and then won big at blackjack. Not a recommended strategy. All in all the house makes their money. Free buffets or what, they get your change in the long haul.

right, and after the flop is dealt, the casino takes their rake. They make a ton of poker but less than the other games. That should say a lot about the other games.

Quint, true that like Bobby Fischer, Stu Ungar had major mental issues.

Even Doyle Brunson, one of the all-time most successful lifetime winners at poker, a born-again Christian, and someone everyone considers very grounded, humble and sane, has written about how much money they pissed away betting on golf, football, etc etc.

Searching around, I found this. The luck-skill axis for various sports. The ranking of the big ones, from luck to skill is hockey, football, baseball, soccer, basketball.

Apparently some hold that baseball is at the sweet spot, but football is just a little bit below toward the luck end. Basketball is too far toward the skill end and more would find it boring. Basketball bores the hell out of me, that's for sure.

Chess, however, is on the pure skill side. Slot machines and roulette are near the pure luck end.

And, the stock market is closer to the luck end. :-)

You may have missed my point. The games certainly exist, and they do go on, but not for the benefit of the general public, if you know what I mean. Started mostly in the '50s, when after-hours joints got started and then picked up plenty during the Pipeline Era, then was fueled somewhat by the cocaine craze, and died back some in the '90s. Pick up a copy of Kim Rich's book "Johnny's Girl." She went to school with me and her dad ran after hours joints in Eastchester among other places. He ended up murdered but the story is something else. Anyway, it's around but not mob run anymore.

I cashed once, the same time a buddy of mine made the final table at another event. I was in one area, and he was in the little arena area about 30feet away. Mrs DIG was in the top bleacher row watching the final table, and could look behind her and down to watch me sweating to last into the top 81.

Fun times. I made like second lowest cash amount - 3300. My buddy ended up eighth I think, about 20k?

If I saved $100 a month I could have played it three times by now.

BTW, check the wsop site. They have a new event "The Flipament". $1000 I think. First hand, you get dealt three hole cards, throw one away. Everyone is all-in. The winner of the table ( 10-1 shot) gets to play in the regular tournament and is already in the money. I think they limit the number of chances to get in the tournament, so the number of pros will be limited.

I could never give you that advice because I simply do not know. In my experience, the companies that make a mint but are hated are the best to invest in. There is a reason Phillip Morris was supposed to be destroyed and has been for forty years. That is likely why it is one of the best performing stocks in American history.

563 I had a blast playing limit Omaha Hi-Lo at the Orleans when they have it going. Big swings in variability from card to card, and lots of raising by people with the nut low.

I prefer limit because I tend to make the ONE fucking mistake that wipes my stack in no limit. Plus, limit is a bit more mathematical, rather than people reading skills.

It is a beautiful thing when you win both ends, having the nuts, generally winning the hi, and splitting the low.

564 Skilled backgammon players win probably 55 to 60 percent of their games against lower skilled opponents, the rest is chance.

I think baseball is similar. Someone- dumbass George Will? - said that 40 games, after chance, determine the season,after luck is factored out.

It is that combo which makes it interesting.
Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at August 08, 2021 12:32 AM (ufFY

The logic, if that's what it is is that the best baseball teams win about 2/3 of the games they play. The worst win somewhere around 1/3. So in the 160 game season, the difference comes down to that third in the middle and how you make them work for you.

I was just reading some stuff on Denninger's forum. There are actual doctors posting now, Denninger has gotten a lot of new posters over this Covid and vax stuff.

It's very interesting. I was just reading a doc posting about a "nice lady" sickle cell patient he just had. A couple of weeks post 2nd jab (he says he quietly advises his patients not to get the jabs). ANother specialist scared this patient into getting the jab.

Anyway, patient was in there, in serious trouble and he posted the details. She was afraid to go to the ER (cause of Delta!), and he did a d-Dimer test. Her d-Dimer was 1187, which he put three !!! after. He got her to the ER right away, over her objections. Massive pulmonary embolism, and they had to airlift her to another medical center to handle it, it was so abd.

He went through how abnormal this way, and says he's gonna write this up as vaccine induced, cause that's the only explanation. He said he hopes he doesn't have to review her autopsy, which he fears is likely.

PNW seems like a solid company, regulated,decent dividend 4.x percent, and earnings that cover it

Electricity ain't going anywhere, so it should be stable.

Take that for what it is worth, I just glanced at it for a few minutes. I have, and still own a number of utilities for a while.

I will glance at PFE

568 I'm looking at this year's WSOP events.

The Mini Main Event looks interesting. It's still $1k to enter (the Millionaire Maker's gone up to $1.5k) and is an immediate freezeout, meaning no re-entries which I like a lot. Until people can't buy in again and again, it's really just a regular cash poker game.

Another doc posted he was treating 4 early stage breast cancer patients. All had gotten the jab within about 1 month. He prescribed some standard drug. It has a risk of causing blood clots, less than 1%, and he checked all their risk factors. There were none.

Well, over four developed blood clots, pulmonary or in the legs, and all four wound in ICU for it. He said in his 26 years of prescribing that drug to hundreds of his patients, he has seen only 6 develop clots. Now he gets 4 serious one all at once.

So, "clot shot" is probably pretty accurate.

580 Farmer,

PFE Pfizer. I should have recognized it since I own some shares.LOL

Dividend is decent at 3.x percent, PE is 19, which is all right if we expect growth. Stock price is on a run up and high, so if you have to sell, it would be the time.
iF YOU HAVE TO SELL.
If you expect the company to tank, then it is a good time to sell.
I can't make that decision for you. Depends on you situation.
My guess is that PFE is more volatile than PNW.
I am just a guy with an opinion and an asshole, so take what I am saying with many grains of salt.

581 I don't pick stocks. My best was STZ before it became famous Another good pick was Waste Management. But both of those are dated and i chose them for reasons that existed at that time. I do think Boeing is different because it is the only company Democrats and Republicans support. But I know for a fact that company has had very dark days, when you choose the wrong people things go bad for you.

My general advice is the S&P only because both parties want it to go up. There are favored companies for sure, and we know them. Others will do much better. But the left seems like thety will not allow the market to go down if there is an election up for grabs. ?You have to realize, Wall Street is all in on the Left.

585 I subscribe to the diversified portfolio theory, and make sure that I collected a diverse selection. I remember reading that one really needs at least 40 stocks to be diversified, and if you hold them, the probability of a loss is small. (Not nonzero, but small).
Of course the easiest diversification is to get the S and P (SPY). Then you will do what the market does.
Now that I am 29, I am tending towards dividend stocks although I have not made a trade in a while.

that is not a bad idea. The irony is Warren Buffet made his billions by not being diversified. He will tell you this in a lucid moment. But I agree, for most, picking stocks is a bad idea. Any company can go down for any number of reasons.

I remember the Nifty Fifty from the 70s, most of those companies don't exist today.

604 If I had an answer farmer, I would give it to you. Personally I wold go for the railroad but I am old school . PFE has a lot of heat and they might help them. In the end you have to read managagment's discussion and analysis from the annual reports.

Those discussions have another term because they are often done on cheap paper, that no one wants to read. But that is where they tell you the real story. By law they have to be legit there and they will tell you all the issues.

I am not telling you to go off a company or go my way. I don't know my way, it has changed over the times. For many I think the S&P is a good thing. For others, they need to have a personal investment in the company's success.

Obama's second ambassador to Hungary, Colleen Bell, whose credentials were limited to the political donations of her parents who made TV soap operas, had her confirmation called like a boxing match because she:

Could not find Hungary on a map (really)-on CSPAN

Could not say what language they speak in Hungaristan

After six months, they gave her a do-over, and the (R) in the Senate said sure fine.
