    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    Fury saved by the ref, shamefully.

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    Yeah, Usyk got some hard ones to the body. It's the chin that knocks one out but the body shots add pain that stays.

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    FFS we're taught to stand still when any national anthem is played, Fury couldn't even manage his own country's!

    More Rocky and less Apollo Creed please! I am supporting Usyk anyway...

    REALLY good fight Breidis/Opetaia

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    Yeah, poor guy Sanchez, wasn't looking very good. Split decisions are absolute bullshit. The Fury vs Ngannou fight was terribly boring, and Ngannou was shown to be very very amateur level by how Anthony Joshua absolutely deconstructed him.

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    No chance, absolutely no chance. Fury is a good boxer, but so is Usyk. Neither of the two are big knockout freaks of strength, both are technical and tactical. Fury looks probably in the best shape he's ever been, lost quite a bit of beer gut. Usyk has consistently been very athletic.

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    Fury has turned up, so maybe we actually see him enter the ring.

    Villiger Krumme

    So I had one, mediocre at best. Would have said "reflects the cost", but Toscanos cost about the same and are just great! There's a lot of wood which I usually like, some pepper, very little sweetness, but there's also some resiny taste that reminds me of some Oriental-heavy pipe tobaccos which...

    Can't unsee that now, indeed, almost Lovecraftian!

    Villiger Krumme

    I've been eyeing these (literal) gas station cigars in Switzerland for a while. On one hand they look really silly, on the other I am a pleb who likes, no, loves Toscanos. I think these cheroots are the Swiss codger cigars. They are dirt cheap too, around $10 for 2...or 6 smokes?! It's odd that...

    Some Folk Really Shouldn’t be Allowed to Write Product Reviews.

    Nah, these are probably native speakers. The type of people who write "should of told me" etc. The reviews that get me triggered are book reviews complaining about the packaging, time to arrival, COVER ART etc.

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    If it happens I’ll be rooting for Usyk, but let’s see, pity is so much of professional boxing is a snoozefest nowadays.

    I won't believe it's happening until the bell!

    RIP Jim Simons

    Bitcoin

    That's exactly right, I wonder if it's possible that Blackrock and the others are insured...somehow. Would be a pretty big "Huston we have a problem" moment if Coinbase got hacked/keys lost given a big part of crypto's premise is that it's anonymous.

    Bitcoin

    1000% The BTC spot ETFs make no sense. Ok, I lied, they make sense: they're there to fleece TERs from people who lack the ability/trust to buy BTC directly from an exchange. Owning IBIT shares means they don't even own any BTC in fact, it's foofoo squared. You got lucky mate. Your friend who's...

    Alligator

    I really like gumbo, we have something very similar in Greece using ocra as well. Most people make it with rooster, beef, or chicken. More rarely with sausage or shrimp. Many people can't stand ocra, I find it delicious. Have had some issue getting ocra that I like when not in Greece though...

    Alligator

    Oh dear, that's an odd combo! I've had kangaroo and ostrich - both were uninteresting for me, but maybe it's me, I also find venison and duck pretty boring. Not goose or proper game birds though. There's some weird line in eating a carnivore for me too, then again certain fish are carnivores...

    What Are You Listening To - May, 2024

    And not to be toooooo cultured, because "they say all the best things in life are free so give all your beer and your rum to me"
