  • Trippin Like I Do - Blackfeet Braves (2011). They changed their name to Mystic Rabbit for releasing their first album but I don't think they ever found mainstream success. This is a really good 60s revival band. I think their first LP as Mystic Braves suffered from being over-produced but their older stuff as Blackfeet Braves is all sensational.

  • Back when I was a student I also knew fellow students that would play online poker for beer money. Basically there is a dominant strategy for each hand you have, so if you've got 4 or 5 games being played concurrently then ultimately you'll end up coming out in profit.

    These were just philosophy students too, not mathematicians. I wonder why more people don't do something similar. Maybe it requires more self control than you'd expect to stick to the "rules" of the strategy.

  • One of my colleagues is a former professional poker player and he seems well adjusted to me. He was between jobs and is good at maths/bluffing so spent around a year playing poker tournaments. I suppose the difference with poker is that you are playing against other people as opposed to the house so you have better odds if you are good (although the house has a rake which takes some of the money staked each round).

  • I believe it would have been legal if the driver was an Albanian with a license. The issue is that the car was registered and insured in Albania and then driven by a Brit. Not EU country has approved them for use on the roads but there are weird loopholes.

  • Is "ricing" not originally related to customised cars from street racing or something? I personally don't see an issue with it.

    The activity itself is quite good for making people aware of how a desktop linux OS is working but doing it excessively is a bit silly so makes sense for jt to have a silly name.
