A Stanford PhD with a background in statistics won the lottery four times for $20.4 MILLION and never gave a single interview about how. > Joan Ginther earned a PhD from Stanford University in 1976 and worked as a math teacher and professor for years. > Between 1993 and 2010 she won the Texas Lottery four times for a combined total of $20.4 MILLION. > Her first win was $5.4 MILLION in 1993. > Her second was $2 MILLION in 2006. > Her third was $3 MILLION in 2008. > Her fourth was $10 MILLION in 2010. > Associated Press calculated the odds of winning four times in a single lifetime at 1 in 18 septillion. > The Texas Lottery Commission said publicly she must have been "born under a lucky star" and found no evidence of fraud. > But Ginther had been buying thousands of scratch off tickets every year, all from the same store in her hometown of Bishop, Texas. > Estimates put her total purchases at around 50,000 tickets across 17 years. > Investigative journalist Nathaniel Rich published a Harper's Magazine article in 2011 detailing how she likely cracked it. > The Texas Lottery printed scratch-off tickets in batches. Winning tickets were concentrated in later production runs to ensure retailer profitability. The shipping schedules were predictable. > If you knew the algorithm, you could buy at specific stores at specific times and dramatically increase your odds. > She moved from Bishop to Las Vegas after her first win and stayed out of the public eye for the next three decades. > She never confirmed or denied the theory. She never gave a single interview. > Joan Ginther died in April 2024 at age 77, taking the answer with her. She had a PhD from Stanford. She bought 50,000 tickets from one store in 17 years. She won the lottery four times. The most likely explanation is that she understood the system better than the people who built it.

Every man lives two lives.⠀ ⠀ The second begins the day he realises that two sets of six builds more muscle than four sets of twelve, in half the time, with a quarter of the recovery cost.⠀ ⠀ Because the only thing that produces hypertrophy is high-quality reps performed in close proximity to failure. Specifically, the final five.⠀ ⠀ Heavy loads are simply the easier vehicle for getting there.⠀ ⠀ There's less afferent feedback, less lactic burn, less screaming from the metabolites telling you to stop before the working fibres have actually been challenged.⠀ ⠀ There's more focus and more quality control, because each set lasts twenty seconds rather than forty to sixty, and the nervous system can stay sharp across all of it.⠀ ⠀ There's more strength carryover, because the loads are heavy enough to demand explosive intent on every single rep.⠀ ⠀ And there's less fatigue, so the growth stimulus survives intact across the exercise, the session, and the week.⠀ ⠀ It becomes a straightforward decision once you:⠀ ⠀ - Accept there is only one true driver of hypertrophy⠀ - Understand that more is not better⠀ - Accept that better is better

Ayo Dosunmu, 6-4, continues to impress in this playoff series for Wolves. If I'm the Heat, he's very high on my full mid-level exception list in a world without Herro (trade chip) or Powell (free agent). Averaged 14.8, shot 43.9 % on 3s for Bulls, Minnesota this year.
Barry Jackson@flasportsbuzz

NEW: For the first time in awhile, Heat will be able to use its full $15.1 M non-taxpayer midlevel without surpassing tax, if it chooses. And Miami absolutely must seize on that and get a good player. miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… Here are the wings available and who we would target.

This would be a two or three week news story in a previous administration, and might even lead to the resignation of the defense secretary. He literally fabricated a Biblical quote, based off of a movie, while pretending to be a pious Christian. But under Trump, we’ll have moved on by tomorrow.

🇺🇸 Hegseth recited “Ezekiel 25:17” speech at a Pentagon church service. But here’s the problem: it’s not actually from the Bible, but from Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. He even tweaked the ending to reference a military rescue unit. Who do you think pulled it off better? Hegseth or Samuel L. Jackson?

$BTC longs 67k now. ✅We're up and running Alright! Nice reaction so far off our long entry we took Yesterday in live time @ 66.45k That's 2 longs we are running now. Indeed, increasing the conviction, increasing my statement, and simply in alignment with our plan and goal, of running a trade into 70k to make money. Peak times, for me to go long.e in our golden zone, coming off the htf silver pocket, a clean 5D OHLC setup and bound to the 70k magnet, and, to top it off, most of twitter (X) was peak posting how they were "still short" etc, loud and proud Yesterday, exactly into the low. For me, lows are not to farm bearish engagement. They are to take longs. And so, it was indeed a time we took more, longs. Peak times, in fact, to go long. Hope to set long risk free soon, it would require a green Friday. But we had a green Monday, and Friday often mirrors Monday in terms of colour during tail end FOMC reversal weeks.

$BTC longs Next target hit 💰Now patiently waiting for 70k+ Alright! Our next target we mapped out a few days ago is now hit. Indeed, as mentioned last post the bears had their round of engagement farming once (before Monday opens). Where they indeed came out with their macro thesis and how "Monday will close red" or "lead to new lows" or "how it's a good time to short". And twice, after Monday closed that also a green Monday would still lead to new lows anyways. All posted into the lows each time. Works well for engagement farming because people like to follow bearish posts when prices are low. But in terms of making money, they are all left in the dust now and compromised in their shorts. They won't tell you they're short now though because that would ruin their imagine. But anyone who watched order flow, can easily see many of them were short (hint - check the mid to low size section of aggressive short CVD on Monday open and after Monday closed). All power to engagement farmers by the way. I have nothing against it. But it's my job to keep my audience on the right side of the trade, not on the right side of the engagement, so we keep tracking the dynamics and use it as sentiment. I thank you for participating in this long. And if you remember, we are not calling it a win yet. If we hit 70k+ area, our final target before runners, then this is our second win in a row once again, and then we also have runners left for a potential juicy breakout. Enjoy.

There is no "moral debt" for Christians to support the Jewish people. Apparently, Mike Huckabee missed the part where God's Son showed up, and the Jews failed to recognize their own Messiah. What is this crap?

@hippyresident @AndyStanley I dare you to do a six week sermon series on this topic (viz., OT and dispensationalism guiding political decisions and wars). Given how much heat you took on your series about the old and New Testament you’d be risking a lot lol.

Tyrone Wheatley was asked about being a Michigan legend coaching for #illini. "I told the guys when I introduced myself, 'Yes, I do bleed maize and blue, not going to lie to you. But I'm here. As Coach Bielema says, 'Be here.' I'm here. This is where my feet are. I'm going to blossom where I'm at right now. I'm going to fertilize this soil, and we're going to go. So this is where I'm at."
