Training your kids how to lie convincingly to you -- what could go wrong?

It's an essential skill in life anyway, but you also teach the usual ethics and morals and come down hard on them when you catch them in a meaningful lie.

You never got away with anything as a teenager?

One of the best life lessons I learned was while perusing a poker strategy book in a bookstore as a teen. I’ve never been into poker, not even sure why I picked it up. One thing it said was the most important thing to remember is that most of your hands will be crap. Don’t get attached to a bad hand and don’t convince yourself that an ok hand is a good hand. If you just fold the bad hands and play the good ones you’re already a better player than most.

I took that to heart and it has served me well in life.

It's a common misconception that poker is about lying or that you need to lie to play poker.

You can bet with a bad hand, but you don't need to say you have a good hand, if asked you can say you either have a bad hand or a good hand, without any impact to your strategy.

Lying holds no advantage in poker, you can easily play poker without lying, no correlation is intrinsic to the game or its rules, it's just a common association people make

Bypass Paywalls Clean

Extension allows you to read articles from (supported) sites that implement a paywall.

You can also add a domain as custom site and try to bypass the paywall. Weekly updates are released for fixes and new sites.

Chrome: https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chro...

Firefox: https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-fire...

Adblocker filter (& userscripts): https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clea...

PS GitFlic only has Russian interface (use like Google Translate).

Why limit yourself to paywall removal only in HN when you can make a stab at removing them everywhere?
