@KyoKonKyoChin Mate, I lost my job and many of us have paid for our mortgages for a few years with her football observations this year. Holy eff this is a bad take. Scoreboard.

[@11matt11]

@KyoKonKyoChin She never picks. She'd feel too guilty for that and it's also not a good professional decision considering how fast she's moving up. But she does make amazing observations that turn out to be about 68% true. If you know betting and gambling, that a huge amount above the 59% profit line. And because she's not trying to give picks in any way, she never forces out these observations in order to meet some kind of fake commercial quota you see on betting shows. She just analyzing what she's seeing with her eyes and all the metrics, and stats of the games. When it comes to QB's and over/unders, may be the best right now. Which is why it's so strange you said what you said. Didn't make you good at all, if you know the game.

[@nittany272]

It requires a LOT of knowledge of Presidents and dates. Presidential trivia was my personal obsession in grade school; I didn’t know this for certain, but if this were $125k I would have been comfortable guessing Harrison. Harrison jumped out at me in the beginning because he was in the WH 1889-1893, Edison’s work on home electricity began in the late 1870’s I’m pretty sure. So through process of elimination it could’ve been either Arthur or Harrison. I would have guessed Harrison just because he was two terms after Arthur (1881-1885), and common sense tells me it needs to be tried and tested before being installed in the WH, but again that was my own personal instinct. This was a good $1 million question. Also would have been a decent $500k. Glad the USA winner drought is finally over.

His grandfather was William Henry Harrison, the 9th President, who died after only 31 days in office. He served in between the non-consecutive terms of Grover Cleveland.

The first president to have electricity in the White House was Benjamin Harrison. He served as the 23rd president of the United States from 1889 to 1893. During his term, the White House underwent significant renovations, including the installation of electric lighting. However, it's worth noting the anecdote about him and his wife being afraid to touch light switches is often associated with Franklin D. Roosevelt rather than Benjamin Harrison. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who served as the 32nd president from 1933 to 1945, did have a fear of being shocked and reportedly preferred to have others operate light switches for him.
