  1. CW: Python rant

    @slott56 I did link the section talking about - yes - the `if-else` conditional expression (explicitly called "ternary operator" in a parenthesized note) as is apparent from the link ending with `#conditional-expressions`.

    My apologies for assuming a programmer would be able to decipher a URL in case their browser would not jump to the correct section by itself.

  2. Registered. Not signed up for tutorials today. Going to spend time hanging in the hallways now that I found a handy outlet to charge my laptop.

  3. How often do you see this? Almost the same hands.

    Also. We say “The 10’s are fully represented.” Seeing all four of a rank in a cribbage deal seems like a rarity.

  4. Opponent’s opening hand. Ouch! Yes. They won handily.

  5. Saw the 555J deal and did not hyperventilate much. (Covered it with a fake coughing fit.)

    Sad I didn’t get the required 5❤️. But. Did leave the opponent in the lurch.

  6. Wow! Thats a pile of points. I did not leave them in the lurch, though. Opponent had first count picked up a 16 point hand and rounded onto 4th street.

  7. Not high-scoring. But kind of funny to have dueling double pairs.

  8. A crib. Lotta points by surprise.

  9. Yes. Two of the same hands. Weird, right? Did anyone shuffle?

  10. Opponent had this. I almost had a heart attack.

    (The three fives and a jack is soooo close to the largest possible gabs.)

  11. What to discard? To flush or not to flush, that is the question.

    (Opponent’s crib.)

  12. Don’t see this too often. Not a great score. But. Remarkable.

  13. No picture. But.

    Missed dropping a double skunking on the opponent. Missed by one point. I could only get to the stink hole. They rounded on to third street, cackling with glee.

    It was a big skunking: 55 point difference.

    Gloat on their side: even though I mugginsed two points from them, I still couldn’t close out a double skunking.

  14. 9/19. Is there anyone your antagonist misses or longs for?

    A person? Well… that’s complicated. The details of their mystical working isn’t part of the text.

    But.

    The inspiration is a story of folks trying to summon BABALON in the Mojave desert, on a quest for an “elemental mate.”

    A person? A spirit? Hard to say what was going on.

  15. Don’t see this very often. Not a HUGE score, but it’s cool.

  16. .

    My crib. What do I do? Give myself the pair on tens and hope for some 10-point starter? Or give myself a pair of aces?

  17. A little more on this topic.

    I think that will do for introductory material.

  18. Some notes I started gathering. As if there aren't dozens of sites with cribbage information. Mine (at least) is ad-free.

  19. Not “huge”. But. This was the opponent’s crib.

    I was barely onto fourth street to avoid being left in the lurch.

    An earlier hand had two flushes of clubs with a club starter. Dealer and opponent. The other suits were on vacation, I guess.

  20. A few nights ago, opponent had something like this. Tonight I got a great hand and pulled out a victory.

  21. Opponent pulled way out in front with this. Killer hand.

  22. Okay, this was wonderful. But. Barely enough to avoid being left in the lurch. I made the corner and pegged only 1 on 4th street.

  23. Could not overcome this. Opponent has first count at the end of 4th street and turned this hand into a win.

  24. Whoa! Lots of points. Opponent didn’t shriek and leap around when the 5 transformed a 4 point hand into this giant.

    (I lost big-time. Not left in the lurch. But. Took the “L”.)

  25. That’s something i don’t see too often. 24 points.

    We ended this game with both in the stinkhole. I dropped a 4 on 27 getting me 31 in play and squeaking out a win.

  26. Will they finish the toe? Or. Are they doomed to use a few inches of non-matching yarn?

  27. Weather. Hurricane Nicole, specifically.

    The boat was blasted off its jackstands by hurricane Ian. This track passes N of us, but there will be rain. And wind.
