Mon Aug 24 12:31:13 UTC 2020 <adlai> ehm, I didn't just survive, I got ~decimated, and revenge-traded my way back to the same order-of-magnitude by yoloing at stupid amounts of leverage and careening around within about half a percent of liquidation
Mon Aug 24 12:29:43 UTC 2020 <funkenstein_> You survived a Hayesing
Mon Aug 24 12:28:24 UTC 2020 <adlai> as far as the boring red/black question, my visit to the bitmex casino was overall a terrible investment, most recently due to the recent rona crash, and the fact that I rarely operate my program as though it were managing the wealth of a sovereign nation, but rather just a bit of the game currency that leaked out of mircea's sandy box

Mon Aug 24 12:21:52 UTC 2020 <funkenstein_> often its the ones you just catch a glimpse of that can live on in imagination the longest
Mon Aug 24 12:21:41 UTC 2020 <adlai> well I was drinking for the book! my behavior would've been quite different if I'd had a different purpose in mind.
Mon Aug 24 12:20:59 UTC 2020 <adlai> never saw her again. tel aviv is a small town, although enough of a metropolis that people actually do appear and vanish.

Mon Aug 24 12:18:51 UTC 2020 <adlai> it'll probably take me much more than a day to read, though. Dosadi took me the proverbial two weeks, including rereading about two fifths of it since I read most of it piss-drunk

Mon Aug 24 12:15:25 UTC 2020 <funkenstein_> wait there's a sequel?
Mon Aug 24 12:15:18 UTC 2020 <adlai> it is a slightly difficult novel to digest without first reading Whipping Star, although I still found it legible
