This Has My Attention: New Questions

Many years ago I went to Scotland and tried everything. The one that works best for me is Dalwhinnie. Unfortunately, it’s on the pricy side. JW Black is just such a great value.

Agree with that!
I have a custom bottle from a lowland batch from Auchentoshen. I do still prefer the highlands types. Prosit, slainte, salut, cheers

Sitting in my chair, drinking alone in the dark, pondering HAL. What more in life is there!!

My team "should" be 5 games up in the division (Central) and 9 games up on the team that is in first place, instead, I'm 4 games back. That's a 13 game swing.

And I’m underwater but HAL is still taking two more games away from me! Where’s my plus nine?? I wish I could make it somehow all make sense.

But it’s not happening.

This is quite a long thread -
Did manage to read a few pages of it, got the gist -
It’s the usual thing- when folks look at the math - they always can come back to its possible - as long as its not x standard deviations away, they dont find anything suspicious- so you can never really get anywhere with these sorts of hypotheses.
Tangentially, my question to the folks who so fervently deny that there are black box stuff occurring is why they need to look
Actuals - leagues played,
Rather than simply do the card maths?
