Been having a "problem" that started since yesterday and maybe someone in here can tell me what's going on (and if I need to be worried about it)?

I've been walking up and down stairs now for a good number of years and with the exception of a few mishaps I had as a child, have never had many problems.  I always thought walking up and down stairs was a second nature thing, something you did without really having to think about it too much.  But just recently, my brain seems to be coming up one step short (THIS IS NOT A METAPHOR).  This results in me thinking I'm at the bottom of the stairs when I'm not and I have just face planted the wall at the bottom.

I've done the exactly same thing, but saved an actual fall, about 3 times in the last 24 hours having never done it before for as a long as I can remember.  The stairs most certainly haven't changed, so does anyone have any ideas what's going on Huh?

Arsenal FC

Founded at Woolwich, by workers of The Royal Arsenal which carried out armaments manufacture, ammunition proofing and explosives research for the British armed forces at a site on the south bank of the River Thames

"Arsenal Football Club started out as Dial Square in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, south-east London, and was renamed Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards"


simple as that isn't it?

Why poker players, many of whom are capable of calculating their equity in a 4 bet pot with 3 opponents to 5 decimal places, are incapable of assimilating the most basic knowledge about a very well advertised tournament

For example, and by no means an isolated case

To be fair to some posters in that thread, DtD have changed the GP format (Golden Chips, merge stacks, levels played, mun cas on day 2 etc etc) from GP to GP so maybe that's caused some confusion?

Bit like not realising that if you won one Caribbean package you cant win a second if you FT the Grand Prix again I guess?

Why when you are all in on Pokerstars does it sometimes turn the cards face up immediately but sometimes waits until after the river to reveal all?

lol player settings


Wow. Been playing all these years and didn't know that option was there.

How about in tournaments.. you forget to click sit out if yo have to leave for a few seconds.. sometimes it just folds your hand and sits you out auto and sometimes it time banks you.

Why?

Isnt this because you have chips in the pot it auto timebanks you, even if its just the sodding ante?

Why when you buy a simple sandwich do the makers insist on putting mayo/pickle/sauce etc etc  with the main filling?

A little sachet on the side would be far better, then the consumer can decide if they want pickle (or whatever) in their cheese sarnie.
