  • I did, put $20 in to bet on the superbowl one year and won. I made a bunch of NBA bets until the end of the season and won a lot of them as well. I made $300 and took $200 out. I played some more with the $100, went up and down but ultimately lost it. Still overall gain of $180 was fine by me! My friends all love to use it as well, but they are way more into sports than I am. They do the whole fantasy leagues and stuff.

    I have no issue with gambling, but if you are not a responsible person you should absolutely stay away. I grew up playing poker with friends so thats why I always enjoyed it.

    Seeing all the comments I feel like I am completely different from everyone else here lol.








  • Oh I know, I work in the industry as well. Our company backups alone for workstations and servers is just under 1 petabyte. This is then replicated to an offsite location which is also out disaster recovery location, and also stored in long term storage in Azure. This is just backups, sooo much money for backups haha. Thats why I am shocked that this entire company can run off of 300tb which is a lot, but nothing when you think of it being the entire business model for them.

    I think the craziest thing ive seen is we have these instruments that do genome testing and sequencing and they would create like 10tb worth of data per month. Every month they got there own 10tb drive handed to them to backup their stuff on there own on top of the ones we did for them.







  • Got to my late 30’s before needing to call. This was about 6 years ago. My mother in law was staying with us because her husband passed 3 months prior. She found out later that month she had pancreatic cancer. So my wifes family cleaned out their house and got things in order. She moved in with us maybe a month prior. My wifes sister was with me visiting to see her and my wife left like 30 min to take care of stuff. It was my sister’s daughter and my kid who was 3 or 4 at the time. It started out She said she was having trouble breathing and sat on our stairs as her sister tried to get her to calm down since at this point we didnt think much of it. Within a few more minutes she started to panic and so did the sister. The sister started screaming and I called 911. By the time they got here we had already saw her slip out of consciousness while continuing to say i can breath I dont want to die. Paramedics tried for 30 min or so and took her to the hospital were she was pronounced dead. It was a massive heart attack and everyone says there really wasn’t much we could have done. That was a bad year, but then we got covid the next year so it just keeps getting better…
