Before you play a round you guess how many of the 13 ‘books’ you will win. Books come from the single cycle where everyone throws out one card. The winner collects the 4 cards like a little book and count it as a point.

If you win more books than you guessed, you collect one sandbag for each book overguessed. Every x (usually 10?) sandbags and you get a permanent penalty against your total score.

Reneging is almost the opposite. If you win less than you guessed, you get a penalty instead of adding anything to your score that round.

They’re suggesting that if they guess first, they will purposely make their guess less books than they know they have (and collect sandbags) to hopefully trick their opponent to guess more. It can be easy for the last person who guesses to just subtract what’s been claimed from 13 for a good ballpark of where they should guess, so if there’s a lot left it’s easy to bite off more than you can chew.

This area has been pretty well explored by Pokemon Go players already. On Android there’s an app called defit that has multiple options for adding fake exercise data to your Google fit account which is where Pokemon Go, and typically these insurance apps, pull their info from.

It’s not creamer, but I mix in off brand nesquik powder. Put enough in and it’s just caffeinated hot chocolate.

Some projectors are about this size too, and are surprisingly powerful for their size. But then the new issue is finding a blank section of wall

Yeah…yeah they are

I never let a boomer get away with the “it’s just how I was raised” excuse when they show support for racist or homophobic views. I’m certainly not about to accept the same excuse from college kids who are at a school in order to learn new things.

Learn new things. It’s not a suggestion, it’s the entire point of being where they are.

You want SoulSeek. I swear it’s not a dating app

The first generation iPod topped out at 40GB. It’s felt like that for a long time, matey

I probably first got the weird idea when I signed up for Gmail and they made a whole show and dance about how your storage space just continually increases. The little storage space ticker was animated to the point of annoyance.

Today Google just annoys me with alerts that I’m 90% full and better give them money or else.

They give two good tldrs near the bottom of the article:

The armor, said Wald, doesn’t go where the bullet holes are. It goes where the bullet holes aren’t

If you go to the recovery room at the hospital, you’ll see a lot more people with bullet holes in their legs than people with bullet holes in their chests. But that’s not because people don’t get shot in the chest; it’s because the people who get shot in the chest don’t recover.

I was drunk when I commented but I think I was trying to imply that the survivors can’t always tell the complete story.

Just posting a comment for all the people that did die 1 times and aren’t able to comment now. How do you think this sort of thing works again? You should look up the story about the airplane mechanic in WWII

It might not be quite what you’re looking for but some of these maybe.

Nothing a teenager loves more than learning something along the way

Just looks like reddit shot themselves in the right foot, then tried to fix it by shooting themselves in the left foot.

Just sounds like little Timmy figured out why they’re called mobile games before his parents did.

I can confirm, I get pushed Linus hard. I watched like 3 or 4 of his PC build videos one time a while back. Never clicked on a WAN Show episode (his podcast). But now if I let just about any gaming/tech video roll to next, I get served entire podcast episodes of his like 25% of the time. I never asked for this, I always click off, they keep coming back. I’m not mad really just bewildered. Idk the retention must be there

Probably around 87% of it

I can’t really take seriously any accusations coming from Sarah Silverman after that whole wage gap bs she tried to pull.

Seems like she isn’t afraid to manipulate a trending social outcry to collect a paycheck.

It’s probably going to feel more like Watson in that Sherlock Holmes videogame

It’s a little command line program included with windows that you can set up to send short messages to computers as a popup box. A lot of printers could use this to tell you your print job was successful, and it was used a lot in libraries and such. And also my high school. They had some cursory protections in place, but if you managed to open a command prompt you could send your own message. You just needed the recipients windows username or PC name… our school used the standard first letter of first name + full last name, even the teachers. So of course, being highschool, this spread like wildfire and there was a whole semester where everyone was abusing it to troll other classmates or interrupt teachers mid lesson. It was also being used as IM/text before any of us even had phones - you could shoot your friend a message to dip out of class or something.

Everything came to an abrupt halt when a guy was dared to run a batch file that was a single, looped, expletive laden net send to a wildcard recipient. It sent the message on repeat to every computer in every school in the district. Every time you hit ok a new box would pop up with the same message. Supposedly every computer needed a hard restart, including servers. Dude got in trouble, and our printers stopped telling us the print job was successful after that.
