According to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, released in 2006, Florida was supposed to be under water by now.

But if Florida disappeared hopefully someone saves it’s history like I’m trying to by buying these gems today.
Shrug. I don't know and don't care much about Al Gore. He is but one person. This is not a political thing. I wish it was, as that would mean it is false or could be prevented.
You can look at the record breaking that is happening and it should clue anyone in who understands numbers. Follow Elliot Jacobsen on twitter. He is far more interested in global heating than gambling.
Gamblers should be able to understand this conceptually. Record broken after record broken should tell you something fairly clearly.
Infinite evidence at this point. Those in denial have some psychological reason. Whether paranoia about a liberal conspiracy or whatever, there is something not quite right with anyone still in denial.
Whatever. Not my circus, not my monkies. Let em consume themselves.
Spoiler alert - Boz doesn't know what he is talking about.
It is entirely possible we'll hit some weird feedback loops. Ecosystems will start to collapse. (indeed some have already started) We don't begin to know how it'll play out. Many many millions displaced. Even more will likely have food shortages. The fact is you have no clue. If you think you do, then it just demonstrates how little you do know.
It took 10s if not 100s of millions of years to generate all that oil. We'll be released it into the atmosphere in what? 200 years? Nothing to see here...
There are plenty of studies that say global warming is not correct. But they don't get the attention of the corrupt main stream media. Only the doomsday theories get published. The Green New Deal is nothing more than a money scam.
Natural "climate change" is only worried about by lonely old men who sit at home and wonder why they're such a loser. "Man Made Climate Change" is nothing but a liberal concoction created for the sole reason of giving these morons something to keep their simple minds busy as they hide like cowards in their little safe spaces.
Wise up.
The temperature of the earth is determined by factors which influence the earth's distance from the sun.
At the risk of un-hijacking this thread back to the topic of the WoV forum. It looks like 108 members visited yesterday. 5, 6, 7 years ago that number was 300 most days, maybe 280 on weekends. By my elementary math, that is at least a 60% decline, which just happened to coincide with the forum moving away from math based discussion towards discussion and claims of long proven losing systems, and things like "quitting while a head" and one long running fantasy adventure of a guy that just wins (Just win baby!), with no reasonable explanation of how he overcomes negative expectation.
And while I and others put the blame on the guy that started, runs and is the face of that forum, Wizard, it occurs to me that this all may come from higher up and by design. Remember the forum is now owned by an online gambling company wanting to draw more players to their casinos. So who do they want on their forum, advantage players talking about how to really win long-term, or members talking about long proven losing betting systems, and "quitting while a head", and just flat out fantasy claims of the winning adventures that defy math?
Suspended for posting this same post at WoV. :D
They can suspend me for bring it up, but the numbers don't lie folks. 108 members yesterday!! WoV continues to spiral down the drain. Suspending me for saying so....doesn't change it. THAT is just more of the denying that is the problem over there. :cool:
How about the fact that math discussions on gaming forums are getting monotonous because they have run their course.
Most people on these forums have another much more important real life, and they don't NEED these things. It's not the community's problem that you've chosen to make this the penultimate portion of your life, and what you expect/demand out of forums. You make up a LOT of shit--both about yourself and anyone like myself who calls you out on it, MDawg whom you are extremely jealous of because he claims to win in the face of math (it happens) and others. So you yourself are probably more guilty than anybody else of eroding what you dream the discussions should be about.
If you had anything other than gambling in your life this wouldn't worry you. But because you are such a gambling addict who must talk about it when not in casinos, you've placed your own curse on yourself.
One thing you can look forward to in your tiny little world. Soon I'll no longer be posting. I'm be in LV late tomorrow visiting certain hi-limit rooms to give gambling one final go. After that, I'll either be reporting on how it went or saying it wasn't viable. In other words, this isn't my life. If you had one you'd understand.
You don't see anybody else complaining about this subject. That should tell you something.
Math (and science) and discussion of these very real concepts, don't "run their course".
Because deniers like yourself refuse to believe in reality and embrace alternative, fantasy realities is your problem, not that of those of us still grounded in reality.
In the past we locked people like you, who live in a fantasy world, away in institutions. Now we are forced to hear and see you "crazies" whether babbling on the street corners or on internet forums.
Rob, you have revealed yourself yet again. The word "claims" that YOU injected before "to win in the face of math", indicates that you don't really believe Mdawg claims, despite your now support for him and all his claims.
The fact is early on you rightfully declared Mdawg a phony and his claims bullshit (paraphrasing). I think you used the phrase "another California phony". That sound familiar? :confused:
The only reason you have flip flopped and now embrace Mdawg is because he doesn't like me, because I have exposed him as a losing player. The truth, the facts don't change because of who you like or don't like.
Every Friday there are limos lined up at the Las Vegas Airport to shuttle the so called whales and jr whale, flying in, some on private jets, to their high end comped suites at various Strip Casinos. These are people that like to gamble, can afford to gamble at high stakes and over the long run...LOSE.
There is absolutely no difference in these whales / jr wales and Mdog (not sure what the casinos classify him as), except that Mdog only posts about his winning sessions. He leaves out the losing sessions.....which is precisely why he gets the comps he gets.
You like to say, I am jealous of that. I am not!. Nor am I jealous of any wealthy person arriving in town that likes to gamble. THAT is precisely what Las vegas is and frankly, these losing players, pay my bills. :cool:
What I am unhappy about is a guy lying, telling only of his wins and leaving out all the losing. And maybe to him, the comps received are worth the cost (the losing that he omits), just as they are to other wales / jr wales. That would be fine. I would actually like to read about that. But that is not what he is doing and has done for years now. And obviously from your wording, even YOU recognise that, despite what you now supporting him.
Hardly expected a shout out for my Twitter account, here it is:
https://twitter.com/EliotJacobson
Somehow, I've managed to get over 11k followers in the last year of actively posting climate change stuff.
A lot more is on my blog, www.climatecasino.net
As far as Al Gore & Inconvenient Truth, I think a far better job of explaining the predicament is made in the documentaries "Planet of the Humans" and "Bright Green Lies."
I do agree, my advantage play stuff is pretty boring and not well written. I lacked passion for the topic, it was a job. Fully retired now, stepped down from my volunteer position with the Santa Barbara Police last June, so free to cause havoc in my own way.

Give it up Eliot. Science, math and reality won't get much traction on this forum. :rolleyes:
Hey, I'm not a climate change denier.
There are idiots everywhere, not just here. This site has no more nor less idiots than a random sample of humans anywhere. You can choose to not interact with them. There are plenty of thoughtful people here -- you, for example. The problem with not interacting with idiots is that you then are in the uncomfortable position of having to formulate ideas of your own and put your ideas out there for critique by experts.
Glaciers will again cover much of the non-equatorial regions of earth (Ice age cycles are about 100,000 years) - there is not a thing man can do about it. People can take the opinions of statisticians more seriously than those of statistical climatologists (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milutin_Milankovi%C4%87) if they wish.
https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2948/m...arths-climate/
Twitter has 11.5k of them. I stopped reading after this tweet from May 18:
"For years or decades we imagined what collapse would look like -- this huge monster of everything happening at once -- and now it's climate, politics, war, disease, finance, racism -- and I am totally freaked out by it and not sure what to do next."
The commenter profiles are bedazzled with pronouns, BLM, Ukraine flags. All the NPC favorites.
Oil was formed over 10s if not 100s of millions of years. We in turn have released that over the course of 200 years.
And you think weather change is all due to some cyclic ice-age?
You wouldn't happen to be a wingnut whose mind is infested with political based biases, would you?
Shrug. If you don't want to hear the truth then that is fine. This "conspiracy" has been talked/written/studies for decades now. It is not some liberal thing. It is a liberal cause to RESPOND to it, but the underlying science is not particularly partisan. (Although surely many studies have a political bias) Spare me any nonsensical talking points, like how there was some minor thing about global cooling written a handful of times many decades ago. (somehow having far far more evidence for one side is immediately dismissed in this case.)
It is called cognitive dissonance.
The weather extremes will continue to worsen. Few things will be able to adapt to this, etc etc. Writing is on the walls and has been for quite some time.
Only people I've seen who seem to want to argue against it are conservative/Republicans and guys who work in oil.
Please find where I stated that I think weather change is due to ice age cycles. You often use strawmen in the debates you engage in and this one is no exception. When an ice age comes it will cool the earth and glaciers will form over most of the non-equatorial regions of earth as I wrote earlier.
People have been predicting the end of time since the beginning of time.
It's a Big Money Maker.
Control is still an illusion.
Everyone born of blood and water on Earth must experience Death.
One Jewish Scientist theorized that we are still in day 7 from our perspective when looking out from Earth.
When looking back to Earth, from the Outer Limits, he states that Earth is 15 Billion some odd Years Old.
I don't know but I like the idea.
Thought you gave up on posting so it's nice to see that you haven't.
No Worries.
Who cares about the Climate Change Scam when these so called Conspiracy Theories keep turning into Fact!?
Microchips in the Vaccine or Booster Shots... NEVER!!
lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-TgKNoQ-2M
Using basic implication I think one can readily argue that you are fairly close to saying that weather change is due to ice age cycle (or at least the temperature related ones?). I mean, you said so in the bolded, no?Quote:
Glaciers will again cover much of the non-equatorial regions of earth (Ice age cycles are about 100,000 years) - there is not a thing man can do about it. People can take the opinions of statisticians more seriously than those of statistical climatologists (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milutin_Milankovi%C4%87) if they wish.
I'm not going to walk through it because.. well.. lol..why? If you think I made a strawman argument then we're not anywhere on the same page as far as our realities.
Even if we take what you say as true.. if you extrapolate what will happen before the ice-age given recent temperate changes - then one quickly realizes it is a completely irrelevant argument/excuse that you are putting forth. This is literally the kindest interpretation of what you said.
Someone pointed out to me how you like to kiss up to other conservatives on this forum... I had never noticed.
Anyway, curious to hear about these microchips in the vaccine. <eyeroll> We'll see how smart Monet is for following this whore Jimmy Delore. Funny how he gave up on being liberal and went straight for right-wing nutso audience. Much like the guy who smoked a lot of crack and has some sort of mesiah complex.. I forget his name.
Reeeegardless, I look forward to watching this video.
Jesus. Watched a couple minutes of it and they are talking about a microchip in a tablet. They leave out context so I'm not even sure. Are oral vaccines a thing? I've never heard of them and they're not very common if they exist. Swallowing sensors and shit is not new sci-fi crap. (Heard about that a lot more than oral vaccines) What is the "microchip" going to do? Is it like one of those apple transponder things? lol. You guys. It'd be more funny+crazy so many people weren't susceptible to nonsense. We'd still have polio/smallpox all over the place if everyone shared these opinions back whenever.
You are misrepresenting. I'm not saying the climate is not changing. Never have said that. We are moving toward carbon zero. But you think it's a dire emergency that we need to throw trillions of dollars at immediately. That's the lunacy of the left.
Advances in technology will take us there in ample time. We don't need to quickly blow all that money on pie in the sky schemes by woke idiots.
Your mom reads VCT ?
Do you define a conservative as someone who didn't believe the incriminating contents on Hunter Biden's laptop were fake news when the New York Post first broke the story ?
Anyway your mom is entitled to her opinion about me and so are you.
You may have forgotten or missed this but he has stated multiple times that he is here to troll.
This is why I rarely engage him or read his posts.
They are never filled with substance or gambling information anyway.
Sort of like mcap and many other members.
Only here to respond in a somewhat negative way trying to stoke the fire.
Redietz has stated on this site and WoV that he is here to troll as well but I tend to read and respond to many of his posts because he does share useful information.
He seems to troll over at WoV far more than this site but I haven't read much of WoV for some time now.
I pop in every once in awhile but it's like watching CNN or MSNBC as I change the channel within a few minutes.
I do the same thing with FOX News though too... tough to stomach that type of Entertainment News.
For the last two months I have done the same thing to Joe Rogan's Podcast as he has become less controversial since they tried to cancel him.
And to be honest, once he got into talking about his outdoor grills I knew he was going to take a nosedive in enjoyment for me.
As soon as Howard Stern got into talking about his Viking Grill and Beer Can Chicken he started to become more and more woke.
Odd Pattern.
Also Joe Rogan has constantly been talking about how precious and sacred stand up comedy is so that gets old real quick.
He has been doing that for years now as I am sure you know.
The other day he was talking about how if you have enough money and time you can enjoy learning anything you want.
LOL... No Shit Sherlock!
He is starting to lose touch with the common man and that's a bit sad but understandable once you start pushing over 25, 50, 100 and now 200 Million Plus.
Personally, I like to stay in the trenches, inside the mire.
I mean he allows his company to sell JRE Masks for Covid so you know he is a bit sus.
And when he claims he doesn't know that they are doing it, that makes it even worse to me.
Fuck man I just try to make this forum a better place by trying to get people to post in the correct places and be more pc and this is the thanks I get. Meanwhile you’re talking about remote control airplanes in random fucking threads and OZZY ranks you #1 in his forum rankings for it. FML.
I am leaning towards not that much of a dire emergency as it is likely too late. I'm not going to get into it. It is a science and my guess is your background on such is fairly weak. Mine isn't the greatest but I'm not blaming anything on woke people. (and yes, I am actually fairly anti-woke)
"Advances in technology" is about the same as "Jesus will fix it". Both nonsensical. There is no magical being and there are distinct ceilings to what is doable via science/tech.
I didn't define anything lmao. That is just part of a discussion. If you say "this group tends to do this" then the group is already defined. It would simply be an observation of an existing group.
That being said, defining political groups is very troublesome. I'm always at a loss as whether to use Republican/rightwinger/conservative. The reason for this is that I have a decent share of rightwing views so I tend to stick with that if it is libertarian/anti-gov type views. Everything else I have to decide whether to use Republican or conservative and if it doesn't directly deal with politics they get the conservative label.
Ok, my mom...good joke bro! (I guess because I live in her basement??) Keep jerking off monet like he's your best pal from 4th grade. Nothing to see here.......
Hahaha! Calling you out for jerking off monet is true. Anyone can see it.
Wah wah he's a big bad troll. He's pickin' on me !!
Sounds like some of you got away from WOV to enter your own safe-space.
Don't respond, I'm happy with that. Arguing with fools is a fool's errand.
Anyway I will end this in pointing out in addition to jerking off Monet, you called me out for strawman and I straightened you out. You then just give up on any valid point and go all-in on the insults. doubling-down with your Capt. Strawman silliness.
btw *if* I ever said I am here to troll then I was wrong. I have many reasons to come to this forum and yes, I do love to argue and troll.
So much nonsense. What "gambing info" does Monet post? He posts some stories etc but he's not exactly disseminating information. Anyway, Monet is kinda pointless. I like the guy, but there are reasons we don't pay that much attention to the other.
Stop with the "you aren't educated enough to understand it" routine. It's bullshit. People with PHD's don't believe it's a dire emergency. They got a hell of a lot more education than you. So maybe hivemind liberals don't have enough education to understand it.
This guy explains the hiveminds pretty good:
https://twitter.com/i/status/1528681766390743042
Depends on the PhD you talk to like everything. Fairly certain most who have a science background will give you a different take. *most* not all.
Back in the day there was a guy that other sharp poker players said was a genius. I found him on twitter. He rarely posts but when he did it was to complain about all the PPP loans and related crap. How the money spent on climate change would have been far better. He is a physicist.
It isn't about education, it is about being mindlessly political. Earth warming isn't a political thing at all.
Only the same thing that has been talked about for decades now and pushed back hard by the oil industry. The oil industry is who did the number on people, not the academics. I'll see some pretty strong effects before my expected time is done. You'll be dead far before you learn how wrong you were..
and who knows?
Maybe the earth baking people are wrong and maybe the environment lasts another 100 years? Possibly. After all, it is all very complicated. I don't disagree with that.
The main problem here is that EVEN if a rich country like the USA goes balls out to lower their carbon footprint - we still have China, Russia, and India. These poor countries aren't going to live off solar if it is even possible. We're already seeing things become more and more fucked up.
At first Covid was all some big liberal conspiracy. Now we see 2 years later somehow the CCP is in on this conspiracy and the supply chain is still fucked. Hmmmmm maybe it wasn't a liberal hivemind conspiracy? Not saying these were your words, but they were the views of many.
Jesus dude I actually clicked on that video. I couldn't get past first minute of nonsense. People who get PhDs and such in science are almost ALWAYS far more curious. The guy saying PhDs didn't want to discuss/learn etc is total and utter nonsense. The guy has an agenda or he has never known the people he is discussing. I promise you. Such absurdity. such....
I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm just telling you smart people who don't have biases tend to disagree with you. That is arrogant yes. Telling people they are wrong is arrogant.
That video was absurd you posted. I wish it was drugs that were causing the issues here and it wasn't some nasty thing that'll play out either quickly or slowly but will undoubtedly bring immense suffering. Although as many point out, it was going happen eventually. Just how soon is eventual !?
Also - I have quit using "climate change" because it is just politically correct poppycock. We've moved on - earth baking, earth warming. Something like that. Far more accurate.
It's been three years today that I was permanently banned from WOV for a one time fed up cussing rant that I thought would be a one month Suspension. Had no idea at the time it would be a permanent Nuke. I was planning to celebrate the one year Anniversary of my Nathan's Corner that was coming up just about a week later. I was thinking,"I'll just celebrate Nathan's Corner one year Anniversary about a month late. " Boy I didn't know what was in store for me at the time.
Well coach, I see you got bounced by one of the little green men over at WoV.
I guess your quoting a famous comedian who used the word "faggot" is considered hate speech, as is his use of the word "nigger."
FWIW I think you got a bum deal and should not be suspended, but then again I like to see how close to the brink I can come without going over.
Like, would they suspend me if in the body of a WoV post I said "I went to buy some kindling for a bonfire but the seller was very niggardly in his price and I would not pay his asking price just to burn a bunch of faggots."
Coach is being subjected to the “OJ Simpson” syndrome. He gave them an opportunity to punish him for other stuff they believe he did, but couldn’t nail him for.
He’s not the first and won’t be the last to be subjected to Mods playing favorites.
I’m sure Coach will live.
I read that too and don't really understand it. Don't get me wrong, Coach belly should be banned from every forum that he is on. Just because all he does is troll and he contributes nothing. When forum owners/administrators go so far as to label someone nothing but a troll as both Dan Druff and Wizard have done, that should be the time to say, you are done here, do it somewhere else.
I mean despite that these forums have all become troll forums to different degrees, that was not the intended purpose of any of them. So when someone does nothing but troll and play games, get rid of them.
Kewlj set a good example: Say nothing critical for a week.
Alan, I admit, I do some trolling, just as you and everyone else. That has become incorporated into these forums. I am not really in favor of that, but it is the way it is. Initially, I thought most of this trolling was to some degree in fun. I no longer think that.
BUT, I add content, on the topic of the forum gambling and Las vegas, by sharing some of my experiences as someone who makes a living playing blackjack, even to the extent of sharing some of what I do in more detail than I should have. And people used that to attempt to harm my career and me financially. That should be proof, this shit isn't in fun.
But Belly, adds nothing of any valuve, absolutely nothing. When it is to the point that forum owners and administrators identify him as nothing but a troll, adding nothing, isn't it time to get rid of him? Seriously Alan, isn't it past time to clean up a bit?
I disagree.Quote:

Sure,he's a PITA but so is socratic dialogue.
I'm going to agree with MrV.
Besides that, if Coach was on "their side" he wouldn't have been nuked.
And there you see the entire problem with Alan. :cool:
From day 1, (or maybe 2) it became crystal clear to me that Alan was anti-AP, or had great disdain for players that actually win at the casinos by finding and playing with an advantage. Thus I labeled him "anti-AP" which he has always denied. Shackleford recently labeled Alan, anti-math, which is very much along the same line. Alan always denied these things, but right here with his statement about "sides", anyone can and should see that is exactly what is going on with this guy....and a few others. Alan has draw a line in the sand, us vs them, or AP vs anti-AP.
I don't have a side, Alan. I call out what is bullshit regardless. I have at many different times had some of my fellow AP, just as pissed at me as anyone else. :rolleyes:
Kewlj you do have a good imagination and a script that you stick to.
How interesting that Coach Belly got nuked on the 3 year Anniversary of my permanent banning. Interesting that Wizard said he was waiting a long time to ban Coach, but was just waiting for a good reason. And said the Dave Chappelle quote was the catalyst for his permeant nuke. I personally didn't think he should have been Suspended for that Dave Chappelle quote, let alone nuked. Coach's nuke from WOV and Wizard admitting that he was waiting a long time to nuke him but was just waiting for a good reason reminds of so much of my own nuke. The Admins admitted AFTER my permanent banning that they were waiting for a long time to nuke me, but were just waiting for a good reason and my one time fed up cussing rant was the catalyst. Just like Coach Belly. Coach Belly is probably shocked by his sudden banning today, especially over a Dave Chappelle quote that isn't even all that big of a deal.
I have to ask, since I was banned there a long time ago, what was the Dave Chappelle quote? I ask because I love Dave Chappelle.
Don't worry, coach. I acquired a fine website that you can post on sometime. Kumbaya and all that.
I can see why MrV likes Socratic dialogue as opposed to, say, scientific debate. Socratic dialogue is something you employ trying to find some crack or flaw somewhere in somebody's else's presentation, and then using that small crack to try to debunk the entire presentation. Pretty much what lawyers do and why a country run by lawyers winds up like we do. The end justifies the means, and the end isn't to arrive at reality but to win a high school debate or polling contest. The thing about scientific debate is that you have to know some science to participate. You actually have to put your knowledge on the line and run the risk of being exposed as knowing nothing about the subject. Not the purview of lawyers, who master nothing but the detail of argument constrained by an idiosyncratic time and place.
Are you kidding?
Lawyering is a scam.
Both sides work together to extract as much money as they can.
Exactly like our political system.
I think its something like 97% of cases never make it to trial, a jury or a judge.
Lawyers are literally taught to Settle, Settle... Settle.
They force that shit down their clients throats all day and night long.
Anyone that knows just a little bit about our judicial system knows that it is nothing but a money machine grinding up the common man.
Everyone knows it is broken beyond repair and always has been.
Bring back hanging people in the streets.
Much more effective.
The problem is that the powers that be won't make any money hanging people compared to grinding them through the system over and over and over again.
Dave Chappelle quote.
"This is many years ago, 15 years ago. It was when I was doing Chappelle’s Show. I made a mistake. I didn’t even know I’d done anything wrong. I had written a sketch… that had the word… “f a g g o t” in it. So I had to go to Standards and Practices. They call me up. I don’t know why they’re calling me, but I like the lady that runs the department. She’s usually really fair and was one of my favorite people I’ve ever worked with. So she sits me down. We have a nice conversation. She tells me, “Oh, the sketches are great.” I go, “Oh, fantastic. Well, then… well, then, why am I here?” She said, “Because, David, there’s no way… that you can ever say the word… “f a g g o t” on our network.
I didn’t know I did anything wrong. I didn’t try to defend myself. I said, “All right. F it, I’ll take it out. Have a good afternoon.” And as I was leaving, it occurred to me. “Hey. Hey, Renée, quick question. It’s just a question. Seriously, I wanna know. Like, why is it that I can say the word “n i g g e r” with impunity… …but I can’t say the word “f a g g o t”?” And she said, “Because, David, you are not gay.”
I don't understand why Mike has a Forum and forces everyone to leave either by force or by choice???
billyryan... RIP!
And three pages about the suspension list now... Those Fuckers are out of their minds over there lol.
At least MDawg is still welcome.
Wow. WOV sure is having the best time ever now. Coach Belly nuked and Billryan resigning. Both the same day.
