Woman tries to steal winnings on slot machine.

Quote: GWAE

My wife always worries about being held up. .

She should. Women alone are easy targets,
especially on side streets and parking garages.

Quote: Perdition

A guy with a fuzzy box where his face should be sure scares me.

Ha ha! You got me on that one.

I knew my trip reports would come back to haunt me someday!

Quote: djatc

Im lefthanded and use the left front. People told me thats weird to put stuff in the front pocket, but ive never been pickpocketed so im going to continue doing so.

Same here, when I'm in Vegas anyway. It sucks to shove everything in the front, but I feel better about it.

Quote: Kerkebet

Finesse, gaming, and advantage, are fundamentally different from hustle, gambling, and edge, respectively. The formers suggest sustainability, sentience of "a moving target", and inherent mathematical qualities. Good poker players "lunge and parry" according to various forms of logic and game theory in general. Eg, how to "scoop" the hi-lo poker games involves basic rule-of-thumb logical approaches rather than simple or direct edges. Of course, casinos unilaterally ensure themselves of the latters; and allow for none of the formers.

Won't matter, one's level of intelligence. Whether you approach "the edge" mentality from above, or below, you're not going to "break the cycle". Doesn't matter that you don't gamble, or expressly won't bet with friends. The idea remains to "cross over" or transcend oneself. That's the "point-of-view" which is itself simultaneously a "discovery" of both question and answer.

The best place from which to see yourself and others is "on the bridges" between. Oh, to be able to make a study and life's practice of this. Not merely to go back and combine, say the underlying qualities of math with the quantitative extraction of an "edge" in a casino then, but to be able to redefine in combination the math and gambling along with the other such fundamental "point-of-views". When we leave the realm of artificial intelligence or simulation - by regression from what we want to call computer artificial intelligence - for the true as is quantum consciousness as its own sort of detailed field of possibilities. (Not the grandiose and silly academic hopes of an "inch long formula" to render infinite energy for each of us over conveniently "airbrushed" time then.)


It's tough to watch such sagas like this play out, especially given Axel's brief account of his life elsewhere in the forum.

I know, Axel, you don't get it. But believe it or not, it's not too late for you either.

Nobody gets whatever you're trying to say. It reminds me of the billy Madison scene

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

It's disjointed and written poorly. I'm
sure he knows what he's trying to
say, but it comes out as a confusing
mess.

One person's confusing mess is another person's bed of twigs. The nest of a bird can not be compared to an orthopedic mattress. The motives are different. A sparrow prepares for its progeny; a single old man is afforded a nights sleep. Are the morning songs of happy baby birds more revealing about their future because the man may snore? No. Two different life forms do not sew tapestries together. The interpretation of sounds can take a lifetime to study but no one does. Hear and react, that's what we're stuck with; wedged into our minds but not really taking up any space. It's not like the cranium cavity is filled with tangible things.

I don't care how well written it is, or what unique words or obscure references he uses. He could be superior being with incredible insight, but If us laymen don't understand what he is saying, whats the point?

BOB, I may be wrong, but I think it's intentional. It's to bad, he probably has some interesting things to say.

Dose his name refer to where he's from or something?

Kerkebet is a town in the state of Eritrea in the Horn of Africa. But I assumed the 'bet' had something to do with gambling, Kerke I hate to guess. But the name in it's entirety may be a secret code I wasn't meant to understand, the writing is.
