Racine! There's some great articles about this if you go looking, the link below has some basic background.

I'll try to find a better one that talks about some of the design principles incorporated (I have wonderful essays on it, but all physical)- the most telling principle you see is the idea to encourage "workplace collisions". It's valuable for Jane and Bob to talk, they sit on different sides of the office- if you put the printer in a common area you increase their chance of connecting and saying "hey, what's up?".

I love this stuff way, way too much.

Oh man, that office space with the lily pad columns is beautiful.

Holy ****.

Looking at another dude's cards is **** lame in a home game.

It's really **** lame when there's the possibility of a $3,000,000 pot.

Polk definitely should've left the table until the hand was over.

I haven't watched poker in 20 years so I was wondering what was up with that. Couldn't believe he didn't leave.

I posted before I watched the whole video. Apparently that's something they do at that table?

If someone did that in a tournament I played in I'd demand a refund and leave. Bush league.

I used to play somewhat high level poker (not quite to the video's level). Tom Dwan is the Trae Young of the poker world.

Funny story. About 2 weeks ago I mentioned our CEO was done with WFH entirely.

Oh boy, did he learn quickly that wasn't going to fly. He know is open to our ideas on how to make it work, although, still reducing the overall number of days. I think he realized how much more expensive it was going to be to replace the 10-20% of the staff that would quit and changed his tune.

Not really a Marshall-type situation. Seems like the program deserved to die as it is a waste of money when there was zero interest at the school and the Conference Tourney only needed 6 teams, and they were the 7th.

Makes sense that on a day where there's a UFO whistle blower all anyone can talk about is $3500 porn goggles.

Getting old sucks. About 3/4 times a year I do something, sleep wrong, play soccer and header the ball awkwardly, whatever and my neck completely seizes up. I can't turn more than 50 degrees either way without pain. It goes away in a day or two, but I look like an idiot when I turned my entire body to look at the person to my right.

Just happened last night and when I woke up I'm struggling to move. Worst part is I have a golf swing analysis here in less than an hour.
