Take the no's? So on the nose #7syllablesentence #luck

More video w/ slo-mo of wheels either skimming truck top - or just missing.

The light pole went into windshield and knocked the dashcam down... such that the truck never went on its side. Injuries to driver was flying glass and shock. Pole also hit truck panels causing damage.

Plane body & tire damage.

Small SUV/Jeep also involved - but no injuries.

Plane wheels just cleared field edge fencing.

Literally inches from actual crash with loss of life.

we make our own luck

wishes don’t come true
we make them
we have two choices
design a quarter with two sides
that we like
or palm the quarter out of the air
to make sure our choice is on top

There was a short period in which I was certain that I could break all falls, in fact, I broke all falls easily, for decades, without any problems, until once

## I had to break a *complex triple hit fall*

I only broke two of those hits, the last one partially, because they came in Rapid succession, with just 1,500 milliseconds in between.
After the last one I had to visit a facility with this medical lamp. I had to remain their guest for 6 hours. The partial break of the last hit was enough. I got lucky really lucky.

It's just like swimming, you still wear the vest in streaming water in the river, even though you are a swimming champion.

I am a judo champion, yet I did not heed that analogy right above

After that event I became wiser

PPE, full body PPE, at all times when in the saddle

Follow the Data! If you do, AVOID prediction markets like the plague.

Researchers examined EVERY trade on PolyMarket from 2023 to 2025 >> 1.72M accounts and $13.76B in trading volume and discovered that ~ 3% of traders account for most price discovery aka these traders consistently predict outcomes and move prices in the right direction. The rest - the remaining 97% of traders mostly do not, and are on the losing side of trades.

This analysis indicates that prediction markets DO NOT work because of "collective wisdom" of crowds, they work because of who is informed > also known a Insiders! https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/04/26/only-3-of-traders-drive-prediction-markets-accuracy-not-the-crowd-study-finds

I've taken the head staggers and taken the mudguards off my bike; put them away until next winter.
Please do not hold me personally responsible for any torrential rain in N.Ireland over the coming weeks, although I realise I am fully culpable.

Wisdom in Space Apr 28

When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.
