As for the vitamins and supplements, we are halting their sale immediately. Utilitarian logic dictates that if we can extend even one CEOā€™s life by 10 minutes, diluting these miracle elixirs for public consumption is an unethical waste. Instead, we plan to collect the entire stock of the InfoWars warehouses into a large vat and boil the contents down into a single candy barā€“sized omnivitamin that one executive (I will not name names) may eat in order to increase his power and perhaps become immortal.

" No price would be too high for such a cornucopia of malleable assets and minds. And yet, in a stroke of good fortune, a formidable special interest group has outwitted the hapless owner of InfoWars (a forgettable man with an already-forgotten name) and forced him to sell it at a steep bargain: less than one trillion dollars."

Alternate answer to computing the infinite series is that, either the first flip is T and you get 0, or the first flip is H and you get this one point and you play the game again.
So the value E must solve E = 1/2 (E+1) which means E=1

Are you asking bc of Pokemon cards ? Iā€™ve been playing with my 7yo and it seems he way overvalues these kind of cards (I havenā€™t yet taught him how to compute this expectation, have to keep my edge lol)

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate former presidential candidate and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a person with direct knowledge of the selection.

Hopefully there are no public health crises in the next bit

Oh wow, I forgot that fight is today. Time to gambool.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow. Bet the house on Paul I think. Youth >>>>>> experience

I am taking some Paul yeah. Tyson was a power boxer. This is not like Mayweather where he can overcome the age disadvantage with flawless technique.

pretty sure the bet is for the fight to go the distance.

How to protest

Tyson looks pretty bad despite the way they try to make him look good in these promo videos. I think Paul is probably a good bet. But, if boxing is ever fishy, and it is sometimes fishy, this fight stinks. I donā€™t trust it. I donā€™t know how that would impact a betting decision, though maybe it pushes it more towards an underdog.

I donā€™t know, itā€™s kind of hard for me to imagine Paul agreeing to do a fight where he is going to take a dive against a washed up 58 year old. What for? He had a lot of other things going on at the time he took up boxing, so it seems like something he is doing because he wants to do it. Heā€™s a wealthy guy already and it would harm his reputation if he flopped against an obviously subpar Tyson. Just donā€™t see it happening. I could definitely see Tyson taking a dive, but thatā€™s fine by me.

Does seem more likely. And betting on who might take a dive is a perfectly cromulent thing to bet on. Itā€™s probably a lot more likely to be a draw - that might be a thing to bet on.

And I wouldnā€™t bet itā€™s a fix at even money or anything, but itā€™s so not legit that I donā€™t know if thereā€™s even a presumption that itā€™s real.

And, kinda, but not really. Deontay Wilder is the 14th ranked WBC heavyweight and thereā€™s no way in hell Jake Paul is ever thinking about that. Jake hasnā€™t been a complete joke, but heā€™s not quite serious either.

Yeah, hedging for the draw is probably sensible.

And subpar is giving him more credit than he should get. If it wasnā€™t that he was washed up at 35 when he fought Lewis (who is older) then heā€™s right not to worry about his legacy.

eta: and I donā€™t mean that Lewis wasnā€™t a great fighter, he was, itā€™s just that it was so obvious that Tyson had zero chance against him.
