Is this the Grapes of Wrath?

If outdoors is too stiff ground, their is an indoor rock climbing place in Manchester on Adam’s street.

Unrelated but thank you for reminding me to pay my car taxes.

Found the Canadian /s

Chinese/Japanese restaurants are your friend. Congrats on surviving another spiral across the galaxy

It’s also because of all the through traffic over the mountain on 44. So many people get funneled through the intersection they get both the dedicated posh clients and spillover when someone has an ‘oh crap I need x’ because it’s on the way. Yea their is big y across the street and Crown Market next door but I think that proves more than disproves that the traffic supports it.

My bad joining two thoughts into one. The odds of jackpot on Powerball are 1:295m(up from 175m), or so freaking low that I’d be more likely to be bit by a shark, while being struck by lightning, on the CT river. Or maybe a better analogy is the blackjack card shoe is 9 instead of 5 decks?

That jackpot is only so large nowadays compared to earlier games is from the streak of dud tickets increasing, not because more tickets are selling overall. I believe they increased the # of balls by 10 to get that shift in odds. It’s not you vs your neighbor or the conglomerates that buy when the prize pools get high. It’s us vs spinning balls in a bin. I don’t think it matters weather their is 1 or 15 winning ticket holders, it’s the ones that came up that drawing.

Now you do have a 1:25 odds of getting a $4 winner though. $50 to guarantee $4? I’d rather buy a candy or glizzy from the gas station rollers for the guaranteed value of lunch.

Maybe it’s still a crummy explanation of why the lotto, and specifically pick-x games, are a poor tax.

Right right, the jackpot odds are 1:292,000,000. It was 1:175 million when we saw the ‘peaks’ of 300-400 million.

Unfortunately it’s a poor tax for people that misunderstand odds. When the prize gets large like the recent $1b prize, it’s due to the odds of winning decreasing overall.

Cuz the agriculture subsidies that they were paid to not grow corn is my guess.

Oddly enough I found out my town has 2 lines to call for rides on Election Day.

One says call a friend

The other gives you walking distance.

I’ll be here all night.

Oh and I was hoping to get a response to my text back 🤦‍♂️

I guess I should conclude they’re pro congress actively trading stocks, and I’m against that.

I work 10’s. Starting November I’ll see sun on days off and breaks until February. Cue SAD
