OT: 110th Obsequious Banter Thread: Giving 110% and more

Don’t.

Why not...heard the Fed is going to "backstop" all gamblers.....

 

[Beef Invictus]

Don’t.

What if that option isn't an option

Then use your big beefy brain and get into the pick factory and pick some winners.

It's totally not me though.

Well, of course, but the person can use your picks.

The Capitals gave renewing season ticket holders a piece of the net Alex Ovechkin scored his 800th career goal on

If I were a Caps season ticket holder I think this would be a pretty cool thing.
Now, what would the Flyers do?

They gave us 500 points in their reward program (lol) and gave us a “refund” for the three games in April.

I know you don't gamble. It would be dishonorable, and a huge stain on your morality. I also do not gamble. Neither of us are debauched.

But let's say someone did want to gamble. Specifically on baseball. What exactly is the best strategy for this hypothetical degenerate to find success?

Thank you for acknowledging my piety.

Don’t.

This.

Allow yourself the delusion that you would be good at this. You have now won all of the money you would have lost. Never explain. Never disprove. Be resolute. You are a winner. Never let them take that from you.

I've ran into a glitch and I don't like it. I have a group chat that I keep on silent, so that my phone doesn't buzz every 5 minutes. My phone downloaded a new update this morning and now the chat that I have on silent, the text notifications don't show up on the lock screen. I had to change the chat from silent to default, then had to turn off the vibration. Really stupid and annoying

I found a solution. Bet on games that are decided and group them together as a parlay to make something of it.

Sorry, the other person made of hypothetical undefeated meat did this.

I've had a similar thing happen on my Pixel a few times. It has somehow always just worked itself out after a short while. Usually a few hours to a day. It drove me crazy when it was happening though.

Good to know I'm not the only one that has had this issue and glad to hear it fixed itself. I'll keep it on default and turn the vibration off for now. Only annoying thing is that it still vibrates on my watch.

Did you get the Pixel watch? I feel like I would break that thing immediately.

I did. I've had multiple Fitbits and finally decided to get the Pixel watch. It's pretty decent, but nothing really special. The battery on the Fitbit would last 3-5 days whereas the battery on this is comparable to the Apple watch and last about a day.

I get the legality of it but what about the morality of downloading a pdf of a book that can be borrowed from the free library digitally. Is it morally wrong to illegally download a book that can be read 100% free if you delete said book after reading it?

I’m not advocating or asking for a place to steal a book, just discussing.
I just had to jump through hoops to digitally borrow The Road, I hear it’s a really uplifting story, that was unnecessarily tricky to do so.
My card expired but the Libby app wasn’t telling me that, it was just saying my pin was wrong even though it was the pin that was given to me moments prior. I only found out it was expired by trying to log into the library’s website.

It’s a story about a father and son taking a trip to see the ocean, it can’t be that bad.

As long as you print out a copy and burn it before deleting the file from your computer, I think you should be fine.

My fault...I used it to interpret a legal document and then asked it to formulate a response in Italian and the translation was amazing..

Translation services are already extinct IMO...
