What about mashed potatoes? Not as good as Koo Koo Roo or Boston Market, but still pretty awesome.

Dang, I never got to go to Koo Koo Roo. Looks like they're out of business now!

I did eat Boston Market pertaders, though. A clone cropped up at Wawa like 15 years ago, and I would stop by there after training sometimes.

You know exponential growth is crazy when you have to change the scale to logarithmic so our primate brains can see it. Add in random or unexpected changes and you've got a shot at longview

Yes, exactly. And just understanding that our brains are just limited tools - that's really helpful. Knowing our limitations means we can navigate toward strengths and use the superpower of the circle of competence, but we've got to understand ourselves first!

Stupid gambler. He can just go to a casino and place equal bets on red AND black at the same time. Guaranteed win!

I've been using this strategy for years and only lost 17,652 dollars so far. I'm gonna win big any day now.

I tried that strategy for a bit, but forgot to bet on BOTH sides. Doh!

(literally, I did this in vegas with the martingale "system", but not with a stupid amount of money, thankfully)
