Next gen PUA publications will include how to discern ovulation among targets.
The whole key to Risk is finding a safe place to hold to pick up cards (rarely Europe and never Asia), while not completely bottling yourself in.
But most important by far is to goad your opponents into fighting each other. “Are you gonna let him run through your territory like that? I dunno…” Then you sit back and clean up the spoils.
Putin knows this.

Also, you’re supposed to use an em-dash, not a hyphen.
This is correct.
As a computer programmer, non-standard microsoft em-dashes, curly quotes and ellipses have personally caused me weeks of anguish, and collectively probably cost a $trillion in lost productivity and crashed systems since the 80s.
I refuse in principal to use any of them.
Also my editors will shore all that stuff up later.

I wasn’t taught to distinguish between them and don’t see any point to it.
For real though, female preferences change during ovulation, for example:
Awkward news from the world of science: Women with less-masculine husbands or boyfriends are more likely to lust after other men during the fertile part of their cycle than women partnered with butch guys.
A new study reveals that heterosexual women whose partners have less-masculine faces report more attraction to other men during ovulation. Women with masculine-looking partners said their eyes wander less, perhaps because the traits women tend to find sexy when they’re fertile are already present in their partners. However, while those women weren’t looking elsewhere, they also weren’t more attracted to their own manly partners while fertile, suggesting that women’s reasons for wanting sex, not overall desire, might be what varies throughout the cycle.
Baby-faced men can breathe easy: The findings, reported in the November issue of the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, apply only to women’s ratings of men as short-term partners, not as lifelong mates.
The way men relate to women at ovulation changes as well, there’s a fairly well-known study of lap dancers:
He found that the dancers received about US$67 per hour when they were near ovulation, but only US$52 at less fertile times of the month (and US$37 during their periods). This suggests that women are sufficiently more attractive at peak fertility to persuade men to part with their hard-earned cash.
This effect is down to a host of reasons, for example it has been shown that: women’s body odour becomes more attractive near ovulation, their voices become higher-pitched, they wear more makeup and more revealing clothing (the latter probably not relevant for lap-dancers), they behave more flirtatiously, and men also rate photographs of ovulating women as more attractive, on average, than women at other points of their cycle; as far as I know it’s not understood why this is so.
TLDR: It turns out human beings are animals.

I’d like to request an ovulating stripper to take back to the champagne room.

Pretty sure her whole story is BS. Her kids are ~13 years old and they’ve been begging to watch The Ring for years? There are 11-year olds super-hyped for mediocre horror films from the early 2000s?
PS: I enjoyed The Ring, don’t @ me.

Reading a book about the Yemen war in the 60s. This is from the intro describing the aftermath of a coup:
On April 4, 1955, when the cars arrived for the imprisoned imam and his family, Ahmad marched from the entrance of the palace carrying a gun in one hand and a sword in the other. He quickly regained the support of his personal bodyguards, commandeered three military cars, and took 80,000 riyals out of the treasury. With these resources in hand, Ahmad managed to rally supporters and reestablish power.
Always thought Napoleon’s 100 days was pretty bad ass, turning up with a few boats and 1,000 men and re-taking France easily, but this seems a bit more hands on.
Oldest American to ever live.
