    But I'm sure there are some that do.Then if you win there is a higher chance you have to share the winnings.. screw that.

    I probably worked late less than 10 days over 4+ years. If I ever did work over 40 hours a week I'd get that time off the next week. Not all CS jobs require perma 80+ hour weeks,

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Here is a new game. There is a system with unknown rules with 2 choices. Some people think choice A is a 66% chance of winning. Some people think choice B is a 50% chance. No one thinks choice B is less than 50% chance of winning. Do you choose choice A or B?

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    For the non trolls What are your chances of picking a car on the first round? If you always change, is there any other scenario other than picking the car the first round that would result in you losing?

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    If the rules were changed so the remaining 2 choices were randomized after removing a goat, then it would be 50/50. The key is you change, not pick from from a new scenario.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    What if I know the odds are better if I switch but I still don't want to switch? The prize is blood money and an innocent person will be killed if I win the 100,000 and I don't want to switch. But the poll says I can only answer no if I agree the odds don't change. This means I can't answer...

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    The easy way to think about it for me is you have a 2/3 chance of picking a goat. If you pick a goat, the host has to show you the other goat. This means switching is a guaranteed win if you pick a goat. So by switching your odds are based on the 2/3 chance of picking a goat.

    Divergence: Online

    He tells a good story, but it makes it appear as if all those characters were npcs helping him, but based on the content starting at 4:30 the lizards etc are all just player controlled. Seems like it he tryng to get funding as if it was a big MMO, when it's really a $20 indie minecraft knockoff.

    Hey but the pinto was badly designed and burst into flames when rear ended, so we should let that be an acceptable failure for new cars several generations later right?

    Hotel overbooks? Inkeeper laws require them to pay for a hotel stay somewhere else if they can't find something in house. Airline overbooks? People volunteer to take another flight for nice coupons/free hotel stay/meal tickets if needed. MMO overbooks? We will get a nice news letter with a...

    3035 error saying my service account doesn't allow account creation. I kept retrying 10+ times and same error. I closed the client completely and was able to create a character... So anyone trying to refresh for Gilg... chances are you will be stuck and not allowed to make a character anyway heh

    I live in Portland. I don't think I can answer any of your questions very well though because I just moved here 4 days agoLiving somewhere vs visiting can be totally different experiences though. What is the job commute like, where do you go shopping etc. And a lot of that depends on where...

    LEGO Legends of CHIMA Online - For those with kids

    I tried playing a few times on my Mac. It kept crashing after 10-15 min of playing though. Other odd behavior like portorate pictures were a random partial image of another graphic. It looks like its still beta though, so maybe it will get fixed.

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    I would suggest a rotation system to spread the late work hours among the team. Do you use any type of support ticket system that would show the need or lack of for the late hour support? Another potential option that may get some interest with the team is a rotation system where someone works...

    Relocation package questions

    I'd opt for the 'American Express can arrange you and your partner a week long trip to look around the new neighborhood.' The $1000 would be nice if you were just 100 or so miles away and you didn't need to fly/rent a car. The PC does sound a bit dated, sound like it is near the end of a...

    Have they said anything about what their income model is? Sure it's F2P but what is going to be the money maker? No dedicated healer so if you don't want to rest 5 min between fights you buy heal pots? Extra character slots seems like it will be out with multi classing? Bag space? XP/Craft...

    The private club requirement was eliminated a few years ago. Very wide open roads and a lot of parking anywhere outside the city. Grid system for roads make finding most addresses easy.

    Serious career advice

    Given your situation, it sounds like you have a lot of time to learn on your own. Any given day shouldn't leave you exhausted, and the time saved from having to commute adds up. Whatever transition you want to make should be a lot easier if you want to keep up/learn things other that what you...

    Hex - Are you interested in a Rerolled forum guild ?

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    While PvE is free, I can't see them designing it to be viable to finish all PvE content without buying packs. Basically getting token PvP cards that let you get past the 'puzzles'. King Tier would should be plenty for the first set to finish the PvE content though. With some decent...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    MTGO booster packs are $4 each. So $2 for a booster pack is pretty cheap. With the sub system you can have a stream of packs coming in for $1 a pack. Then you will have a percentage of people that can go infinite off the system and never pay for a pack. Even if you aren't pro, semi skilled...

    It's going to vary state by state on exactly what is causing it to be illegal. But basically an entry fee for a game that depends on chance that allows you to win something that has a monetary value associated with it is what most probably claim.

    I don't know anyone that's played the WoW TCG. I bought a few packs but have never read the rules or played the game. Was the game any good or did people buy it to get some epic turtle mount or whatever? Either way, they do have experience in the area to learn from and have a chance at being...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    I went for Grand King since it pays for itself on release day,(self gifting the boosters). After that its pure bonuses. They also said the account perks will never be available again too. It's still a bit risky. MTG tactics didn't do so well and they had a great IP behind it. Regardless...
