Also not to be confused with the Trojan defense, where you load your bishops into a knight and hop behind the line of pawns.

owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Odds of rolling a 7 with a weighted die1·11 days agoI read an article written by an inmate who explained how they’d form dice out of toilet paper (because dice were banned in his case) to play D&D. I assumed that was the case in most facilities.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Odds of rolling a 7 with a weighted die9·11 days agoYou’re marginally less likely to roll a 7 with a single weighted die.
My reasoning: if you use your weighted die, whoever you’re gambling against might figure it out. Now they’re pissed, they’re gonna give you the beat down. But you’re packing, and OH SHIT YOU DIDN’T MEAN TO HIT HIM IN THE HEAD YOU WERE AIMING FOR HIS LEG SHIT SHIT and now you’re serving jail time for manslaughter and dice aren’t allowed in jail, thus you won’t be able to roll any 7s for a while.

owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Science@beehaw.org•Scientist Dissolves Soda Can To Reveal A Thin Plastic Liner Inside35·22 days agoWater reacts with aluminum over time. The inside of aluminum cans have always been lined. Same with aluminum water bottles and cans. If your aluminum water bottle is old and makes water taste funny, get a new one–the lining is probably shot.

And if I’m being honest, getting upvotes is a sweet hit of dopamine. But I try to keep things in perspective.

owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?71·27 days agoI wouldn’t need a case if the phone were designed with proper bevels. You literally can’t set an uncased phone on a flat surface without scratching the screen or camera (which sticks out awkwardly).
And don’t get me started on the screens with curved edges. Complete garbage design (why yes, I’d love to accidentally use touch gestures just by holding the device, frrrrrrt).

Not sure which state is letting them loose, but I can’t imagine it’ll end well.
“You must be the worst web scraper I’ve ever heard of.”
“Ahh, but you have heard of me.”
I believe this is called a “stand up”. That is, you’re standing up your real work for an hour so a
useless middle managerscrum master can feel like they’re contributing.
Yeah, the water levels in DKC1 are pretty slick as well (Charles Cornell talks about that one too).
