The tennis match is still going. 66-66. Live stream

So far, since resuming today, neither player has even won consecutive points on the other guy's serve.

And just like that...Isner, 70-68.

Remind me: was this a tennis match or a basketball game?

To put it in some perspective - if you figure the average set probably consists of 8-10 individual games, and an average match is probably 4 sets, then the 5th set alone was the equivalent of ~4 matches of tennis.

Wasn't the total length of the match just under 11 hours?

And was it played over two days, or three?

I'm not sure who is to blame for the toss, but there is some sort of "WTF" in here.

The whole story



And an additional WTF to whoever wrote a sub-head that restates the headline almost word-for-word

They threw it away!

I had to go read the story to calm my sense of horror.

Maybe this should be in the political thread.

California welfare cards can be used in many casino ATMs
Times review finds that in more than half of the state's casinos and gaming rooms, welfare recipients can get cash from state-issued EBT cards. Officials say they're moving to block such transactions.

This kind of stuff really irritates me. I have (mostly) no problem with people receiving welfare who need it, but abuses like this just make me sick. I am sure the majority of the people on welfare don't do this kind of thing (and other abuses), but unfortunately, this is all that most people hear about and draw incorrect conclusions.
