"Great introduction to Poker (Texas Holdem and other). I got a lot from its basic description of a poker table / tournament and the vocabulary that is used therein." — Jun 17, 2025 11:33AM

“It's for us that the University exists, for the dispossessed of the world; not for the students, not for the selfless pursuit of knowledge, not for any of the reasons that you hear. We give out the reasons, and we let a few of the ordinary ones in, those that would do in the world; but that's just protective coloration. Like the church in the Middle Ages, which didn't give a damn about the laity or even about God, we have our pretenses in order to survive. And we shall survive—because we have to.”
― John Williams, Stoner
