    Crime Woman wins over $2 million at Casino. Casino refuses to pay claiming machine malfunctioned.

    WIll probablty depend rather on the specific laws governming casinos and machines whether displaying a win means you have to honour it or fi not it will probably come down to looking at exactly what happened. I believe slot machines have to have a certain level of payout legally? so you...

    Does China hold a grudge against Japan post WWII?

    Actually compared to say the English and French there mostly wasnt a ton of conflict until the rise of the Japanese Empire, the Mongol Yuan dynasty tried to invade Japan in the 13th century and you had some Japanese pirate raids plus conflicts for influence in Korea but relatively few wars...

    Macho man was absolutely gold

    I think you could argue that whilst Hogan was the "star" really Savage was the one propping the WWF during a lot of that late 80's into early 90's peak, besides his run as champion he was often having the more popular matches as at WM3 or WM7. Indeed I think you could argue Savage was "Austin...

    Does China hold a grudge against Japan post WWII?

    What you could say I spose is that its a "grudge" which until more recently existed more with the populace than the government which tended not to focus on it as much because the Communists avoided fighting the Japanese much of the time in favour of saving their resources to fight the KMT after...

    When Brock showed he had no standup

    His problem really though was he was not willing to let his hands go latter in his career when he knew opponents had the ability to throw back. Realistically I think his best chance of beating guys like Cain and Ubereem was probably blasting them early in the fight, both of them were leaving...

    WWE -> UFC Crossovers are done

    It does seem to be going more the other direction recently, the WWE using ex MMA fighters for some credibility. I mean that in itself isnt new, it happened way back with people like Ken and Frye plus has always been popular in Japan.

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    I think thats a pretty fundamental misjudgement of the situation though, viewing Jewish Israel's as a disempowered threatened group when what we've seen makes it clear they are the vastly more powerful group who are able to inflict vastly more death and suffering on the Palestinians.

    Media Jon Jones CONFIRMS Retirement After Stipe Fight "Im Gonna Beat The Old Man And Ride Off Into Sunset"

    Jon Jones is I think very clearly the fighter who has benefited most from promoter favouritism in MMA history, people like Lesnar and Conor had shorter runs of it but he's been benefiting from it for a decade or more.

    Economy McDonald's' prices have doubled in 10 years

    I think fast food more than most though. Again I suspect a big issue is a shift in who they target and how, used to be based mostly on drawing in cheap business but now they limit that to a limited "value menu". The rest of the time they basically exploit that people use them out of convenience...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    What I think there trying to depend on is people tendency to self delusion, if they've got people to buy into a certain belief system then that can be very heavy. To be honest I think it explains a lot of obsessional posting, especially from pro Israeli "liberals", constantly fighting their own...

    When Brock showed he had no standup

    My guess with Brock has always been he just didnt want to do hard sparing or buildup fights because he feared the long term health effects, he originally left the WWE because he didnt want to wrestle their punishing schedule afterall and only returned to do a much more limited work load. That...

    When Brock showed he had no standup

    Again I think the main positive would be he didnt cave mentally when the punishment started.

    When Brock showed he had no standup

    Honestly I think he actually looked better standing against Reem than he did in those fights, technically he was obviously at a big disadvantage but he actually took punishment from Reem without going into panic mode, Alistair landed 3-4 massive knees to the body and Brock took them before he...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    Shows you its always been bullshit, all this talk about those critical of Israel "backing Hamas" and now its those same people being willing to let Hamas leaders avoid an ICC warrant if it allows Israeli leadership to as well.

    Social Chat gpt gives a miniscule chance for life to appear on earth only due to BAU natural processes?

    Its not even that though is it? yes life arising on earth may have been an astronomically unlikely event(really though nobody including this AI knows just how unlikely as we only have one example) BUT your dealing with observational bias, that fact we exist to observe that life started on earth...

    Movies Thoughts on 'Die Hard'

    Indeed, stuff like Under Siege and Cliff Hanger as well done by the director of Die Hard 2 but again I think its not just about a villains plot in a confined location, its also that the film gives us a lot of focus on the villain generally. That you essentially end up with a cat and mouse game...
