Best of luck to the gambler and the dancer as they go their separate ways after selling their Dave and busters inspired McMansion

The first time Michael Cohen won $1 million on sports-betting site DraftKings in 2015, he hired the rapper Lil' Flip to perform at his wedding. The second time he pocketed $1 million, in 2017, he bought a Tesla Model S.
After a third win in 2019, the stock trader bought about 14.73 acres of land on a private street in the suburbs of Houston and built a roughly 14,700-square-foot mansion. The home has Dave & Buster's-inspired amenities such as a theater and

"It's kind of a go- big- or go- home kind of atti-tude," said Michael, 43, who has since won $1 million or more in two subsequent DraftKings con-tests. "If you're going to have your own street, you might as well have a bigass theater and you might as well have a bowling alley."
Before moving into the property, however, Cohen and his wife, professional dancer-turned-nutri-tion counselor Angela Cohen, decided to get divorced. They are listing the Katy, Texas, home for $11.2 million. The offering includes the new mansion and a circa-1990s house with a shed, barn and pond. There are plans for an outdoor

This was in the bedtime story book tonight and it made me so upset. Every inventor on the page is posing with their invention but they went with a manuscript for Gutenberg?!?!?!?

I thought this tidbit from the CEO of constellation brands was interesting. public transport is good for consumer spending!

As it applies to Hispanic consumers, it was much of the same but more exacerbated. Markets that might be more sensitive to gas prices, like Texas and Florida, were places where we saw more pullback. A market like New York, for example, where people are able to access public transportation I would say is more positive.

I noticed we needed a countertop under the toaster, so I got some sustainably harvested mahogany, planed & sanded it, joined, glued, sanded, dyed, gel stained, and shellacked it.

Lol (from When The Sea Came Alive)

Flight (Warrant) Officer Charles E. "Chuck" Skidmore, Jr., glider pilot, 9ist Troop Carrier Squadron, 439th Troop Carrier Wing: We caught a burst of machine gun fire from the ground which missed my head by about a foot, and then stitched the right wing from end to end. Upon landing, we discovered the source of the ground fire which nearly got me. It turned out to be a bunker containing about a dozen conscripted Polish soldiers with one German in charge. After the glider infantrymen from several gliders, including ours, directed a hail of rifle fire at the bunker, the resistance ceased. There was silence in the bunker, and then a single shot. Then there were shouts and laughter, and the Poles emerged with their hands held high and surren-dered. They weren't about to fight the Americans, so they simply shot the Kraut sergeant.

Any paleographies want to blow off their Friday and help me with these inscriptions? Johann Zainer’s 1473 de Mysterio Missae

The first printed leaf of the book mentioned above, with two inscriptions one of which is dated 1546.

I love the final sentence in Claire Bolton’s book, in which she states Johann Zainer is worth studying because he’s a sloppy bitch who half asses his professional work. He’s just like me fr. I also love how often she says “his brother Gunther, also a printer, never made this kind of mistake” lol

Zainer’s printing practices were similar to those of his contemporaries. The marks and mistakes shown in his editions can also be found in those of his contemporaries. However he showed them more regularly and more clearly than his fellow printers which made him an ideal subject for this study.

At work we are getting new housing for our fragments of the 42 and 36 line bibles, which means a move to flat storage. I made sure to carve out room for them near the 1462 Bible so that the band can all be reunited.
