Huh, that "giant scorpion" is more like an overgrown horseshoe crab. Which do come ashore to deposit eggs. You'd only be in danger if you fell asleep sunbathing on the wrong dune.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So very much not clicking on the giant scorpion link.

I need to stop by target and get a new microwave tonight. Don't wanna. But need to.

If it's a squeamishness issue, it's just a technical drawing, not a modeled life-simulating painting or anything.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I wanted you to go home and go to bed in order to get better. I think it is THE MAN'S fault.
I want that too, and I will, as soon as 4 hours and 20 minutes have passed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Apparently, they are both math majors who are so talented that they automatically count cards while playing, and they can't turn their minds off when they start gambling. Since they're so ethical, they just refuse to play.
It might be more that the casino folks will throw you out if they catch you counting cards.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't think counting cards is unethical. Casinos just exercise their right to throw out people who do. I am surprised that they can, though, unless they use the method detailed in the MIT book.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Is the actual act of counting cards unethical, or is it using your knowledge to further your funds?

I'd say no. You're acting within the rules of the game while observing what's going on in the game.

I have nothing to say about the Pope gay priest decree except ppppbbbbllllttt, which I don't think is very helpful.
LA seems a good place for restarts.This. I know it isn't for everyone, but it's been a godsend for me.
ita, I'm so sorry about the continuing headaches. I hope the MRI explains what's going on.
I'm sitting with the sick-and-feverish crowd, but I at least am not contagious. Evidently I have a kidney infection, so I'm on craxy antibiotics. Unfortuntaely, craxy antibiotics are making me feel worse. By tomorrow night the infection symptoms should be subsiding, but I have to find a way to manage the Cipro side effects so I can make it through the next six days. In the meantime I have both infection AND side effects. Wheeee....
