- Special Bridge Rate
- Strictly speaking, neither the flyer mentioned in the OP, nor the D25 regional referred to below describe the rates they quote as being in any way "special" although the word keeps getting used here. The OP refers to a "Special Bridge Code" (title case) while the flyer itself titles it ...
- mice against cheaters
- The $150 per deck came from the link supplied by Gonzalo Goded. Unless I read it wrong it was selling 4 poker decks for $600. (Reading it again I wonder if $600 included the cost of the table as well.) $0.07-$0.15 for an RFID came from a ...
- mice against cheaters
- RFIDs were suggested in another thread recently and a (highly non scientfic) google revealed a cost of $0.07-$0.15 each. I wondered what that would translate into once a manufacturer tooled up to include them. $150 per deck is truly shocking! Alibaba has them for $2-$35 which ...
- Tablets with a table feel
- Maybe I just react badly to a suggestion about what I must assume but I don't see the logic in assuming mistrust. As well as revokes and ?OOT perhaps these players appreciate a record of the play. They might find it a bit quaint (+costly +time consuming) to have ...

- Ever heard or seen this?
- There is a description of the rules at https://www.pagat.com/auctionwhist/bidwhist.html Also a couple of variations are described and it lists a number of books and links.
- Guidelines for BBO Vugraph Commentators
- C++ > I'd like to do more commentary myself, but I feel it is like a tree falling in a forest--will anyone be listening? I'm an indifferent player - so maybe from a Bridge Winners perspective a statistical outlier - but during an LC commentary I feel I do have a ...
- Guidelines for BBO Vugraph Commentators
- First Roland, and others mentioned upthread, thanks for all your hard work. > latest technologies are increasingly paranoid about allowing app access to speakers and microphone I'm not sure I understand this, so maybe I'm missing something. Wouldn't my pc/phone/tablet speakers and microphone be rather pointless ...
- Chinese Food & The Big Picture
- Also George Harrison in exactly the words remembered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XdJU6AsbsY
- Accusation of Plagiarism against Mark Horton
- You can love or loath the "singular they", but it shouldn't be accused of novelty. When English adopted a system of natural gender something like a bug appeared in the pronoun system: the lack of a third-person singular gender-neutral pronoun for animate referents. Wycliffe could say (1382) "Eche on ...
