          Inordinately pleased with my purchase of a hand turned wooden bowl in a market yesterday. Some lovely work on display. Watched loads of YouTube Vids on the craft, went as far as enrolling in a course but then Covid hit.
          Will buy a few more bits from him next time

                      This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
                      All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

                        It's blown over already pretty much imo. Maybe a few pockets of strain for small start-ups, but it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

                            The one small caveat to the "it'll be grand" line (which is massive odds-on to be right), is that sometimes when the market is nervous it can latch on to bad news and make it worse than it is. But don't really get the impression thats the case this time.

                              I'm getting old, I was playing a PP poker sat, and couldn't find any option to add on during the break.

                              Is there something I'm missing? Is it only if you're below starting stack, or did I just miss where to click?

                                    Yeah. The requirements are not too prohibitive. But few people bother. I assume “wink, wink, storage space” adds almost as much value as a bedroom - but buyer has the leverage to lowball I guess.

                                        My attic is not a room due to the angle of the roof.
                                        The pics on daft showed it was being used as a bedroom but they were very careful to say, it's "not" a bedroom.

                                                  I've been there maybe five times (not by choice, other people have booked it) and it's more miss than hit.

                                                  I dislike sea food so have had the vegetarian alternatives and they've been universally terrible ( pray for tar)

                                                  Genius idea for a business though. Cuts down on kitchen prep and it drives repeat business.

                                                  I guess it's like a low entry into fine dining (if that concept makes sense)
                                                  Pefect encapsulation of what it is. In fairness it’s pretty cheap too, around 50-60e for all those courses, i would say good 20 something date night material .

                                                      Just the 44 wines tasted yesterday at the wine fair - We decided not to taste every single one!

                                                      It was interesting interacting with the vineyards.

                                                      The French lad from Burgundy was a typical French lad from Burgundy where there was virtually no interaction. There was very much a 'Our wines are the best and (in general) most expensive. I do not have to tell you anything about them, you should fell honored just to be able to sample them' vibe off him

                                                      The Spanish & the Argentinian lads had a bit of banter about them as did most of the Italians, except for the one who was peddling a Super Tuscan amongst her wares and had a slight bang of the French lad from Burgundy off her.

                                                      The Portuguese were almost horizontal in promoting their wines while the Georgians, were, eh, quite stoutly Georgian.

                                                      The German and Austrian lads were super excited & proud about their wines in a very German way of being super excited & proud - Lovely lads altogether and the Austrian lad had the line of the day, when he proudly announced that 'Everything happens for a Riesling'. They were enamoured with Mrs Lao Lao who is pretty much fluent in German which led to tails of crap German wine being drank in your late teens / early 20's compared to now. The Austrian lad started off giving us what he described as his 'Monday wine' before moving onto better gear so we had to pull him and let him know that round here, that was known as 'a Tuesday wine'

                                                      I was about a dozen and a half wines in when I realised that my technique of just remembering everything about each wine was severely flawed so I started taking notes but they were terrible to start off with and got progressively worse as the afternoon wore on.

                                                      Great way to spend 3 hours on a Sunday with the added bonus of the Ireland v's Scotland game being on the big screen in the room.

                                                          I don't understand the idea that these companies should have a delay. It is not down to the makers of this software to police this stuff. It is up to the sites. Even if all of the different companies agreed to put the delay in place you will just have another company come in and say fuck you guys we are setting up shop without one.

                                                          GOWizard, Odin, and the rest have been database lookups which are somewhat limited. The newer ones mentioned in the thread like Ruse are AI-based so can even solve dynamic sizing now.

                                                          Berkey makes the point that whatever is available publically is way behind what is available privately to groups/teams or to whoever has the funds to build a custom solution. Given the very best like Jake/Ali were caught using it you have to think the high stakes are invested with it. Daniel actually makes a recent tweet saying that even after all these bans Ali is at it again.

                                                          I'd feel like a complete fool if I was playing online and not using RTA cause at this stage it feels like cycling.

It is up to the sites. Even if all of the different companies agreed to put the delay in place you will just have another company come in and say fuck you guys we are setting up shop without one.

                                                            GOWizard, Odin, and the rest have been database lookups which are somewhat limited. The newer ones mentioned in the thread like Ruse are AI-based so can even solve dynamic sizing now.

                                                            Berkey makes the point that whatever is available publically is way behind what is available privately to groups/teams or to whoever has the funds to build a custom solution. Given the very best like Jake/Ali were caught using it you have to think the high stakes are invested with it. Daniel actually makes a recent tweet saying that even after all these bans Ali is at it again.
                                                            That’s it, there’s no real incentive for sites to crack down all that much unless it’s costing them revenue which doesn’t seem to be the case and almost certainly some version of it has being doing the rounds for quite a long time.

                                                            I’m guessing Ruse is somewhat like DeepSolver. I can’t go past GTOwiz given its UI and functionality is miles ahead of anything else I’ve seen.
                                                            There’s definitely limitations with GTOwiz but it has a lot of late stage Preflop spots now that people could definitely find very useful.
                                                            Given it’s not all that often you’re going postflop on the likes of GG at the latter stages, I’d say it can be pretty advantageous.

                                                              Agree completely that GTOwiz is miles ahead in UI/UX and is not even close.

                                                              I have said it before but the reason that the likes of Ali became the best in the world is largely down to playing online using RTA. If you are putting in online volume with an RTA running you are going to get very good very quickly. Given that I am very surprised that no one has attempted to build a mock site that models a real one for training purposes. You could either have the engine available in-game or after the hands similar to the training tools on chess.com for improvement.

                                                              I am guessing no one has done it because they know it would truly signal the end of online poker. At the moment the truth is still somewhat obfuscated from much of the player base but a site like that would really shine a light on what is going on online.

                                                                  That is the dumb end though and if it was all that was out there then who cares. It is the guys with a second computer screen scraping the card info and pulling the solutions in real time which overlays every decision that is the problem.

Thoughts and prayers should solve that one. They are unsure if anyone will be prosecuted for failing to secure guns in the house.

                                                                                                      It was a brisk, emerald morning in Dublin, and the eager spirit of St. Patrick's Day hung thick in the air. The city was awake, buzzing with anticipation, and I couldn't help but be swept up in the fervor. Clad in a green scarf, I set off for the much-lauded, iconic Supermacs.

                                                                                                      As I approached the establishment, the scent of fresh-cut potatoes and sizzling beef wafted through the air, seducing my senses. I pushed open the door and was greeted by the clamor of exuberant patrons and the comforting warmth of a well-loved eatery. Supermacs was the kind of place where the good people of Dublin sought solace from the chaos of the world outside – and today, it was my sanctuary too.

                                                                                                      Taking my place in line, I surveyed the menu with a curiosity befitting a culinary explorer. Supermacs boasted a smorgasbord of options, but I knew what I had come for: the famed Mighty Mac. This was a burger that had been the subject of countless late-night conversations and beer-fueled debates, and I was about to experience it for myself.

                                                                                                      I placed my order, and as I waited, I couldn't help but feel a kinship with the people around me. Laughter and banter filled the air, and the jovial spirit of St. Patrick's Day seemed to seep into the very walls. It felt like an ode to Ireland itself – a testament to its resilience and heart.

                                                                                                      When my Mighty Mac finally arrived, I held it in my hands with reverence. The burger was an architectural wonder, towering and imposing, with two juicy beef patties nestled between pillowy buns. The lettuce and tomato provided a fresh counterpoint, while the special sauce was a tantalizing enigma, its flavors melding together in a symphony of culinary delight.

                                                                                                      As I took my first bite, I experienced a gastronomic epiphany. The Mighty Mac was a testament to the brilliance of simplicity – an ode to the humble burger and all that it could be. Each bite was a celebration of flavor, texture, and the time-honored tradition of food that comforts the soul.

                                                                                                      On that St. Patrick's Day in Dublin, surrounded by laughter and camaraderie, I found myself in the embrace of Supermacs. It was a place that transcended the sum of its parts, offering a taste of Ireland that would remain etched in my memory, long after the last strains of "Danny Boy" had faded into the night.
