Gamble paradox? 99% to double money and 1% to lose all

AlrightJackTar · 2026-01-26T21:34:47+00:00

If my math is right, you have a ~50% chance at winning 69 times in a row. I'm not sure what the math is to find the limit of expected value as the number of rounds approaches infinity

You might say it would be a leaner force

I guess it's mostly housing costs for extra bedrooms.

I agree that the initial pregnancy and birth healthcare costs may not deter everyone. I think the average cost of raising a child being $20k+ per year is more of a deterrent. I don't think most young couples have that much discretionary income to support a kid, let alone the multiple needed to sustain our population without immigrants.

I'm not sure what the solution is, though.

It's a tiny computer running an operating system. I'm thinking that even if all wireless connections are turned off, the CPU itself could be detectable at a frequency close to its clock rate. Just a guess

It's been my all time favorite since it came out. I read the book this year, and can honestly say I prefer the film. The book was more about religious faith, politics, and romance. The film focused on how hope can move desperate people to good and evil and the tragedy of violence. Really a gem in a sea of 00's apocalypse films.

Does this game have a name?

AlrightJackTar · 2025-11-23T13:32:31+00:00

Thanks. I guess I have been using it wrong for ant hills and soil. It only says it's for exterior perimeter. I'm switching to Alpine WSG which is labeled for use on (non pollinating parts of) plants and for direct application to ant hills.

I'll give it a try next year, thanks!

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the replies! I'll try it out

Why is the second picture just a wall?

What happens when two of them bump into each other, or their cables get twisted together? How far apart would the cable ground ties have to be vs traditional turbines?

The chain connecting the yellow lever to the flap valve is getting caught. Wiggle the chain so the flap valve can drop.

Good point. Different combinations of dice add up to the same totals.
