We were BRUTAL Cribbage players at our house when I was a kid. Take. No. Prisoners! Been playing since I was about 4 years old. I’m getting to the point where I just might go hang out with the old duffers at the VFW on Tuesdays to get my fix. ;)
I beat ‘The Old Man’ with a 29 hand once and ONLY that one time in my entire life. It was glorious! A Jack up and all fives. And he could SEE it coming too, LOL! We were playing with my lucky ‘Snoopy’ deck of cards. Pretty sure that was the reason. :)
Good for Elon for exposing these pinko frauds.
Twit-face has almost always been a degenerate leftist dumpster fire.
SEC should investigate, advertisers should sue. But they won’t. They are all in collusion and delusional.
The SEC should be investigating Twitter for falsely claiming the inflated numbers of followers.
Good one.You know better than that though, the swamp doesn’t investigate it’s own propaganda mouthpiece.
The real challenge here is to get people to switch from Twitter to Truth.
Truth is up to over 3.2 million active users but they have a long, long way to go to reach the Twitter numbers.
The management problem at Twitter is that they have been selling advertising on Twitter for years with doctored subscriber and following numbers. If they turn over the true information as to the incredible number of bot accounts they have rather than the unrealistically low 5% they have been claiming to have, their fraud will have been exposed and individual and class action law suits will ruin their day. They want Musk’s money, but they don’t want to go broke getting it. Sec will be on them also as well as Republican majority Congress next term holding hearings on their fraud.
Twit is in a real pickle because, IMO, THEY will owe the $1B if he pulls out due to them breaching the contract. They are truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they reveal how bad the fake accts are, they get sued and lose billions from advertisers. If they don’t release it they lose a billion to EM. Maybe the latter is the cheaper way to go.
Ha! Good for you!
I didn’t know a Jack up and four 5’s in the hand was 29 as well. I thought it was three 5’s in the hand along with the off-suit Jack.
15 - 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16
Four 5’s is another 12 which brings us to 28
Jack in the hand worth another point - 29.
“Don’t forget all the advertisers that have been lied to. Will they get a refund?”
Every payout must include a lawsuit as that provides a tax-free exchange in most cases. I would expect an advertiser class action to do just that.
I’d say that elon is now remarking to himself, “My work here is done now.”
I don’t think he ever did intend to buy titter. It is all about entertainment for musk.
They already are. That hippie guy testified to congress that only 5% of the Twitter accounts were fake. He lied. But it’s not like he will get into “trouble” for lying! He’s a hippie! They don’t smell bad to the deep state!
A jack up instead of off-suit in the hand IS 28…the 29 is as you stated, the final 5 needs to be pulled up from the deck.
However, if you are the dealer, you might prefer the four fives in your hand and having any jack pulled up on the deck. You get the two pegging points plus a 28 hand…it’s kind of like a 30…and hopefully your opponent will lead a face card…
Life time accounting person here:
THEY DO NOT HAVE ACCURATE NUMBERS-—Musk caught them out.
I’m on Truth. It’s OK, but I’m not super into social media. Prefer reporting and reading in context on my own time.
A neighbor was complaining some years ago about how poorly their kids did with math-—
I told her to get a cribbage board & cards & teach that game to the kids. IT would teach them to count quickly.
She thought I was a heathen for even suggesting such.
Musk still owns 9%.
I think he can force the hand of the SEC to investigate.
IMO, the Twitter numbers are like the 81 MILLION votes Biden got.
What? The turned up Jack is worth two points lol? We’ve only been scoring one!
Always take that extra TRUMP point, and hurry up with that Crib, LOL!
It’s been two as long as I’ve been playing…perhaps a regional rule difference.
[Musk is completely correct on this legally. He has the right to due diligence prior to finalizing the purchase, and that would include verifying the validity of the number of customers.
Twitter management has a real problem here. If they refuse to comply with due diligence requests, they could be sued by shareholders for derailing a profitable deal. ]
