Winter cricket and bridge thread - Held over by popular demand

No way! You should have been compensated for your honesty. Though I guess you were paid well with the lesson that honesty decreases your earnings by $100 per truth.

I havenā€™t in years but smoking a cigar was relaxing. Never could get into cigarettes though.

I love finding out stuff is infinitely more complicated than you assumed. But in retrospect - duh of course it is.

Iā€™ve never once smoked*. Maybe your dad could ship me $100?

*tobacco (only pot a handful of times - my pink lungs couldnā€™t take it)

Youā€™re high on life arenā€™t you

The court ruled that since the tests were paid by their medical insurance companies the patients were not deprived of any money or property in taking Theranos blood testing services

By god, if you steal someoneā€™s car, you do hard time. Steal ten billion and itā€™s nbd.

Would you have her leave you a custom voicemail for only $199 though? In her fake voice obv. Iā€™d be tempted.

Solid 2nd rd pick in the guillotine draft, Ms. Holmes.

The best barnies seem to happen when Iā€™m asleep.

I used to love smoking and non smokers arenā€™t getting that as well as the obvious benefits it strengthened social bonds and, pre mobile phones, gave people something to fiddle with in public.

Sign me up to the club for people rushing our for a pack of Camel on getting news of terminal illness. I havenā€™t smoked for 10 years and would start again in a flash if t wasnā€™t deadly and so expensive.

That thing is amazing.

Lol judges.

So Medicare fraud is fine, now? After all, the government pays so patients donā€™t lose anything.

What the ever loving fuck is going on in law world? These assholes think theyā€™re playing 4d chess and theyā€™re actually playing paper rock scissors.

That map basically makes my city part of America. No thanks. It also takes a completely uninhabited part of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The legal system is too mature, with too many contradictory case law outcomes and too many addendums to amendments to regulations. At this point the legal system in which business is conducted is a rent seeking mechanism for lawyers, not a system for deliberatively resolving disputes. Thatā€™s why the outcomes are erratic and non-intuitive. The purpose of the case is to create billable hours, not a sensible outcome.

Iā€™ma try to be a little cryptic, just for 6ix.

Long Chile would be as awesome as getting a bad tooth fixed. Lots more bad teeth though.

Damn, guess Iā€™m in the minority but smoking is fucking gross and I get annoyed just getting a whiff of someone elseā€™s smoke. Do whatever you want, but keep your shit habits from encroaching on my lungspace, thanks.

While Iā€™m in a ranting mood, the three primary threads are a mess. Anyone in favor of closing NH and Iowa to funnel discussions back to the main thread? I donā€™t mind the Gameday threads but now that weā€™re well past the votes itā€™s hard to figure out which conversation is taking place in which thread.
