OT: Poker Chips

[jimbolina]

Kinda sorta related.. I have always had a bit of a thing for authentic, red, casino dice. The crisp, sharp corners and their nice size are quite lovely, in an odd way.

Regular, or the more commonly available game dice just don’t seem so nifty, at least in my eyes. Never was a fan of the radiused corners, I guess.

Loads of new one word accounts cropping up at the moment who all have avatars immediately who are bumping old, old threads with pointless ramblings. Kinda weird.

Makes you wonder if those folks (assuming they're living, breathing, humans) even ride.

Oh sure.

You've got your every chips, your training chips and your event chips. Then you've got your traveling chips, your pit chips...

And then of course there's the finger exercises to do so you can properly handle those chips...

IBM as a company didn't think that personal computing would really be a thing either...

And then, IBM bought Lotus in the mid '90s for $3.5B (which was some real money back then). IBM thought Notes was *the* future...but shortly thereafter, this was heard around the halls and conference rooms in White Plains and Armonk:

"The world wide what????"

Oops.

Weird? Most definitely. You must be like me, someone who easily notices things out of the norm. If its out of the ordinary, or it sticks out, it catches my attention. My doc says its a natural symptom of my Asperger's. So yes, I've noticed the recent posts by people with one-word or simple account names, with seemingly meaningless or incongruent posts, in here and other forums. What do you suppose that's all about? Russian hackers? Some sort of Manchurian Candidate subterfuge? Attempted Extraterrestrial Alien assimilation?
