  1. Obviously she quit because she couldn't halfass her way through her job. Her boss wanted her to do a side by side analysis and she either couldn't do or wouldn't do it because she would actually have to bring facts into the discussion.
  2. So they hadn't done it in "all other elections" as you said. Look at your shoes and feel shame.

    Geez. Refs called every ticky tack call all game and somehow missed an obvious facemask.

    Stafford has a long one to atwell if he just throws it 2 yards farther.

    I know they said it was a catch, but I don't think it would've held up.

    That pick by Stafford had to be a miscommunication on the route somehow. That throw makes no sense otherwise. Looks like Stafford was expecting a corner route and the guy flattened it out and ran an old fashioned out route.

    Kyren is 4 yards down field before anyone touches him every time he touches the ball. They could just run every down if they want.

    Stock Market bubble - will crash

    I misunderstood your original post that you had previously sold the options because you seemed to be trumpeting that you had already cleared a profit. You did. I get that, but I was trying to figure out how it made sense given that you didn't say when you sold them. Only after you replies to my clarifying question did I realize you sold them today after the big run up. You're probably about to explain to me that you don't care if the options are exercised at $350 because you still made your $224 (minus fees) and you may have sold your shares at $350 anyway. I know. I sell covered calls all the time. I'll reiterate that I assumed given the tenor of your post that I assumed you sold the covered calls before the run up which made me question why you would've sold calls that far out of the money given it would be pocket change.

    Stock Market bubble - will crash

    I'm surprised you were able to sell call options for 1.12 per share $150 out of the money (prior to today). I assume you did that a month out from the exercise date? Or are you saying you sold them today? That I could see.
  10. I especially enjoyed the part where he instructed his employees to do an analysis on each candidate's policies and she was like, "nah fūck that. I quit." Like damn, wouldn't that be pretty easy given that Trump is so evil?
  11. The quoted piece says they endorsed presidential candidates since 2008. I took that to mean they probably didn't endorse anyone in 2004. Am I wrong?
  12. So she was asked to do her job and either wouldn't or couldn't. Resignation seems like the right course of action.

    Reeder out. I wonder if my guy Omar Speights will finally get a shot.

    Wait, if you sold out of the money calls, shouldn't you be down if TSLA is up 20%. If not, do you mean you sold out of the money calls at 25% out? If so, wouldn't they be selling for like $0.05 per contract?

    Scouring the wire for receiver help

    Good list. I like everyone but Lockett. I'd probably put Bateman at the top.

    Jury duty pay.

    They seemed to ask everyone a bunch of questions. For me they were like, "occupation and age?" And then they moved on. I didn't even get a chance to tell anybody a sob story. I'm quite ugly and an engineer, so you'd think they'd want me gone, but I made it on. I went in wanting to get the guy exonerated for his DUI, and I could have. The folks on the jury were a bunch of pushovers I could've ran over, but he was guilty as sin, so I went the other way and steamrolled the two hold outs try to get him exonerated. The last guy was adamant that he wasn't going to convict, and I said, "do you just want to come back tomorrow for the $15?" He turned beat red and switched his verdict 45 seconds later.

    Jury duty pay.

    Also California says they pay $15/day, but they don't. When I was leaving they asked if I wanted the money or do I want to waive it. I was like, "hell yeah I want the money," and they were supposed to send me a check, but I never got it.

    Jury duty pay.

    I was on a jury once. Most of the people say something along the lines of they don't trust cops. Or a cop killed their cousin or something. If the jury pool I was in reflected the population, we have a real problem with cops killing people's cousins.

    I drafted Pickens expecting Wilson to elevate him. I ended up trading him away since they were running the single wing offense, but I guess he's back.

    Roulette Stratery

    It's a negative EV bet looking at his math. 4 potential outcomes while betting $15 on black and $10 on column. 1. He wins $5 37.8% of the time (black number not in his column) 2. He wins $5 21.6% of the time (red number in his column) 3. He wins $35 10.8% of the time (black number in column) 4. He loses $25 29.8% of the time. Expected value (EV) is then $5 x (.378 + .216) + $35 x (.108) - $25 x (.298) EV = $5 x (.594) + $3.78 - $7.45 EV = $2.97 + $3.78 - $7.45 EV = -$0.70 So you'd expect to lose 70 cents on average everytime you make this bet with a single 0 wheel. In other words after 100 times making this bet, you should be down around $70. After 1000 times you should be down around $700. That's right around the house advantage ($0.7/$25 = 2.8%). I didn't do the arithmetic for a 00 included, but I'm sure you'd average about a $1.40 loss every spin. Now what this gentlemen is doing is taking advantage of expected growth (EG) by essentially giving odds to the house by betting a large amount to win a small one most of the time. He's accumulating a lot of small wins banking that he won't hit a string of losses. Conclusion... if you're going to play roulette, which I wouldn't recommend, this isn't necessarily a bad strategy for a slow burn, but you'll eventually run across that string of losses and get wiped out. The danger is going to be if you can maintain discipline and walk away when up the preset amount and not pull more money out when you hit your loss limit which most people wouldn't be able to do. They go on tilt with a loss and everything goes downhill.
  24. The Justin Fields train may be getting derailed. And even though the Steelers passing attack was rather anemic, Fields makes for a good fantasy QB.

    Week Early Waiver Wire (Wk 7)

    Kimani Vidal Sassoon Gus looks pretty washed, and is on IR. I don't think Harbough wants to give Dobbins 30 touches a game, and if he continues to do so, he'll break down anyway. And Vidal happens to be pretty good.
