Fixed it for you.

Blackjack played under the right conditions (e.g. 2:1 vs 6:5, hand shuffled vs continuous, fewer decks, etc.) and with discipline (e.g. adhering to said “strategy”) gives the lowest house edge in the casino. The house still wins, but slower than roulette and craps.

My metagame in Atlantic City was figuring out how and where the casinos were connected so we could pub crawl with drinks in hand and never step outside: Playground Pier > Caesars > Wild West > Bally’s > The Claridge.

Furthermore, even the satellite service has never been limited to cars. XM and Sirius have had all sorts of handheld tuners, bookshelf tuners, and component stereo tuners through out the years.

Satellite radio has suffered from some really poor marketing if anyone ever thought it was just for your car.

Are those just to keep space open for people to order?

True. But peeking at kinja while a critical process executes in my primary tab doesn’t always mean I can afford to reboot said primary.

Sorry. I read your comment as “I’m too busy for a security patch right now", which is usually my case 

Updating was literally 23 seconds. Needed to relaunch, but all open tabs were restored.

2-bits from a non-gamer that has some game awareness through osmosis and tech industry friends. Console and PC games are big industries, yes, but they’re not pop culture zeitgeist yet. Arcade games barely are, and that’s only through the filter of nostalgia.

For what it’s worth, Fastmail predates GMail by a good five years, and shows no signs of going the way of AOL, Yahoo! & HoTMaiL. We’re not talking about a flash-in-the-pan here.

“Let me do animations.”

Number of axles (e.g. two axle passenger vehicle vs. multi-axle “big rig”) is measured by consecutive quick-hits on a single tube. Speed & direction are measured by single-axle hits on two tubes. Speed cannot be reliably measured with a single tube, as you posit.

I’m envious then. I’ve been trying and failing to get rid of it since they involuntarily converted the Backup Assistant to a cloud app.

Who knew? Every Verizon users knows, because it’s opt-out bloatware. And even if you don’t use it, it still tries to upsell you photo cards and prints every so often.

Not to be a prude, because I do read them (sometimes just for laughs), but...
