I've started listening to this (adding it to my other regulars, The Moth, This American Life, Freakonomics, Planet Money and a smattering of WTF! with Marc Maron and Desert Island Discs) - am really enjoying it, despite being very dubious about my interest in design. Turns out design is mainly just about ordinary stuff, rather than high-faluting architecture or haute couture or whateverOriginally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post

Who was it that threw up their UFC bets in here last time? Almost all won iirc?Comment

Jibzzz I thinkComment

Any UFC heads not think Stephens is a bit big against Edgar? Even backing by KO or Points seems a decent little bet to me.Comment

Not sure I count as a full on UFC head but was surprised to see the price was nearly 3/1Originally posted by CHDog View PostComment

I've gone with the following:
Over 2.5 in Weidman fight @ evens
Over 2.5 in Woodley fight @ 4/6
Joanna on points @ 10/11
McGregor 2nd round KO/TKO 13/2
I'm a casual viewer though so they're moreso interest betsComment

Amazing how many people don't know how to breathe properly. I have a distinct memory of a nurse trying to coach me after an asthma attack when I was about 6 or 7. After a few minutes she realised she didn't have to teach me anything. I must have figured it out on my own.Originally posted by Lazare View Post"I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S.

certainly has a chance. i reckon frankie will win on points.Originally posted by CHDog View Post
if stevens wins it will more likely be stoppage and not points so maybe going rd ko small bets is better than taking the 3/1. let the first round ride. And you have r2 17/1 and r3 25/1Comment

.The protesters look as though they are protesting Trump, but they are not. They are locked in an imaginary world and battling their own hallucinations of the future. Here’s the setup that triggered them.
1. They believe they are smart and well-informed.
2. Their good judgement told them Trump is OBVIOUSLY the next Hitler, or something similarly bad.
3. Half of the voters of the United States – including a lot of smart people – voted Trump into office anyway.
Those “facts” can’t be reconciled in the minds of the anti-Trumpers. Mentally, something has to give. That’s where cognitive dissonance comes in.
There are two ways for an anti-Trumper to interpret that reality. One option is to accept that if half the public doesn’t see Trump as a dangerous monster, perhaps he isn’t. But that would conflict with a person’s self-image as being smart and well-informed in the first place. When you violate a person’s self-image, it triggers cognitive dissonance to explain-away the discrepancy.
So how do you explain-away Trump’s election if you think you are smart and you think you are well-informed and you think Trump is OBVIOUSLY a monster?
You solve for that incongruity by hallucinating – literally – that Trump supporters KNOW Trump is a monster and they PREFER the monster. In this hallucination, the KKK is not a nutty fringe group but rather a symbol of how all Trump supporters must feel. (They don’t. Not even close.)
In a rational world it would be obvious that Trump supporters include lots of brilliant and well-informed people. That fact – as obvious as it would seem – is invisible to the folks who can’t even imagine a world in which their powers of perception could be so wrong. To reconcile their world, they have to imagine all Trump supporters as defective in some moral or cognitive way, or both.
As I often tell you, we all live in our own movies inside our heads. Humans did not evolve with the capability to understand their reality because it was not important to survival. Any illusion that keeps us alive long enough to procreate is good enough.

Absolutely start him. What are our options? He's been killing it in Europe for Dundalk, is lethal on counter attacks which is exactly what we need giving we'll have a massive possession deficit in this game.Originally posted by Elshambles View PostProfit before people.Comment

English rugby looks in rude health, and three years out from a world cup an average age of 26 is what you'd want to see. All well and good us beating New Zealand but starting seven lads 30 or over doesn't have much of a future thinking feel to it.Profit before people.Comment

Ah it's the scale of the player base. We have to husband our playing resources a lot more. England have a huge base of talented players so they can afford to discard players early. Schmidt will bring the younger guys along as best he can in a continuing competitive team.Originally posted by The Situation View Post
RWC 2019 is an awful long way off and with form and injuries we need to define our game plan and grow the top level of players.
The bottom line is SA are poor. It was a shame we were missing a few on tour there and hadn't embedded fully with the attacking play that has begun to emerge.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis KhanComment

SA rugby is destroying itself from within. Politics run riot with player quotas etc.Originally posted by V for Vendetta View Post
Fair few of my SA amigos no longer support the national side. There may be an element of racism to this but being unable to always pick the best players due to quotas is bonkers and self-defeating."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."Comment
