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.

Noone remembers how many yards are in a mile, you’re supposed to just remember it’s 5 tomatos long.

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.

A good thing to keep in mind is that you should match voltages, but with amps the cord just has to be equal or higher than the device. It’s a rating of what the cord can provide, not what it’s spitting out at all times like voltage.

So in your example of 12v 900ma, a 12v cord thats 1a or greater should work fine assuming the barrel is the same. This can also help declutter anyone’s ‘collections’…if you have a whole mess of 12v cords, you can safely ditch the lower amp ones.

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

Damn, not too long ago I spent way too much time contemplating that Netflix movie The House, and this just brought back all the angry confusion.

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

Or you could be like the company I previously worked for and not monitor anything with any seriousness, but a lowly tech managing some one-off software installs for the office PCs (me) might notice software that shouldn’t exist and report it. Happened to a new guy, the VPN to his home got higher ups combing through his work, and was the final icing on the cake after they also found emails from work to a personal email with customer information attached. They didn’t even entertain an excuse, he was sacked same day. (This was all pre COVID, there was no such thing as work from home)

So yea, definitely…VPN might not be the hammer that falls, but it can start the hunt and still burn you. Someone might use it to browse lemmy, other people might use it to steal company data. It’s not worth the risk for a company to attempt to differentiate between the two. Obligatory ‘your mileage may vary’, especially now with the COVID push to work from home, but it happens!

Watch the documentary The Internet’s Own Boy. It’s very much worth the watch.

The most impressive part is the lack of footprints on Amy’s side. She can swing that ass like a cement truck

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.
