he literally metagames against himself.

A worthy goal to aspire to for us all.

Losing a fight against your shadow is a really impressive feat, I must say.

You know, I've always wondered how headgear like this managed to stay on people's heads. Do they simply glue it or is there some secret Chinese headgear wearing technique?

It's been passed down to Japan and is now used for this:

I've seen hats like that on headbands and such. Also, sometimes those kinds of crowns are, say, pinned into a hair bun on top of the person's head.

There appears to be an automated price war going on on Amazon by resellers of a book I want to buy. Except instead of driving the price down, they're driving the price up. To $1,000 to $7,000. On a book supposed to be worth $20.

Consider buying it now, while it's still in the four digits area.

The publisher should be restocking soon though. But yeah, artificial stupidity indeed.

This is why speculation was considered to be a crime in Middle Ages.

I have the apartment to myself today. All day. All alone. Peace and quiet. I also have the day off.

I have no idea what to do with myself.

This is the primary reason why I'm only two omnibuses into the Gaunt's Ghost series, and why I haven't actually started the Ciaphias Cain series.  Several hundred dollar books, at the low end.

The cheapest escorts I can find advertised on Craigslist are £50, so I don't think $100 is really pushing "high class".

If I remember Freakonomics correctly, $400/h is nothing unusual in that business.

I imagine most of that money would go to tax and/or the organization they're employed by, so I doubt the escorts themselves are actually making 400 currency units per hour.

I wonder if they get tips.

Probably a bit more.
