@jdludlow @scottredracecar (B&O stock trashing) It seems the obvious thing to do here too. in reply to jdludlow #
@jdludlow Once the race for the best shares is over, what else is there to do but trash everything you don’t own & won’t be holding? in reply to jdludlow #
Excellent gamesday: 4P 18Mex (won by ~$1K), 3P Kansas Pacific (2nd by ~$15/3% – good game), learned 1826, 3P 18TN (won by ~$1K). #18xx #
@jdludlow I find B&O porous; too much time/work for not quite enough game. in reply to jdludlow #
@jdludlow Our intended B&O changes: sell 2+ shares at 1 lower price to reduce stock, must run for max, multi-jump if dividend > stock value. in reply to jdludlow #
@scottredracecar @jdludlow Yep, at heart a 120-150min game as I note in my review. I’m less convinced the SRs are so decision-less. in reply to scottredracecar #
@jdludlow @scottredracecar #18xx comparison unfair. B&O has many clever optimisations (multi-buys, track, etc)…that deliver mixed results. in reply to jdludlow #
@jdludlow @scottredracecar Glad you like the B&O proposals. We’ll be playing them soon here. in reply to jdludlow #
@scottredracecar @jdludlow Yep, thus ompanies to run for max revenue in B&O. It reduces turn-order mgmt while allowing a little finesse. in reply to scottredracecar #
Basic distribution models applied to human aging. Fascinating if unsurpising results, but insightful questions. http://tinyurl.com/muozv4 #

@neilhimself My favourite honey is ironbark. Try it! Amazing stuff, like old school water fountains but sweet. #honey in reply to neilhimself #
@icheyne It is worth remembering that fecundity and longevity are inversely related, otherwise the old constantly re-normalise the genepool. in reply to icheyne #
@neilhimself Good days you’re the angel that feeds cat. Bad days you’re the devil incarnate & storm bringer. Not much difference really. in reply to neilhimself #
Bad metrics design & abusive use of language: Health care in America: http://tr.im/veKL You get what you measure, not what you asked for. #
And they say Americans eat too much meat. RT @frandallfarmer:http://twitpic.com/cmzxv - “medium” latte at the Mayfield Bakery & Cafe #

Deconstruction of health care service. Sadly missing profit-chain comparison of same vender/service between EU and USA. http://tr.im/vFwX #
Do USA healthcare operations disproportionately fund the smaller profit centers but larger volumes in the rest of the world? #healthcare #
@jdhuntington More amusing is how hard we worked on it. #paypal in reply to jdhuntington #

@ingredientx When Mum visits, my fridge and pantry become a TARDIS. I eat for months before I ever see the back wall. It is WW2 food magic. in reply to ingredientx #
Played Kingdoms & Gemblo with kids. They handled winning and losing poorly. Should they stick with Empire Build/Crayon Rails games longer? #
This has long been my view: RT @nytimes:Dot Earth: Puberty on the Scale of a Planet http://bit.ly/2oFPR9 #
