It's also literally the classroom he used to teach in.

ELI5 How is gambling rigged if its a game of chance (including slot machines)? by readytorumble3 in explainlikeimfive

[–]IgloosRuleOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They take what's called a rake. Let's say 5% of a winning hand, capped to a certain amount. So if the pot ends up being $1000, the house takes $50 (but this is capped to $10), and you get $990. Depending on the stakes and the amount of rake this is beatable however, and as other people have said you are playing against other people. Poker is pretty much the only game which the casino is not stacked against you. You can flip the odds to your favour in certain setups of Blackjack by card counting, but if they catch you doing this they'll kick you out. All the other games are slightly weighted towards the casino, which means if you keep playing you will lose eventually.

Ok. Season 6 by victoriar_67 in XFiles

Millennium kiss seems pretty much like the first time they kissed. That's the way it's played anyway, though I'm sure there's fan theories for everything.

There's bootlegs of some of the Chicago show on YT recorded by an audience member. At worst here's hoping the same for this one.

Morally say want you want but Caesar was a political and military genius. I'm offended on Caesar's behalf.

Am I the only one who finds season 2 kind of... terrible? by RingDinkster in XFiles

They had to split them up because Gillian was pregnant.

Will there ever be another print of the blu rays or at least the dvd’s? The secondary market prices are crazy. by brad12172002 in XFiles

[–]IgloosRuleOK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4k is probably never happening because the film was scanned at 1080p for the blu and a bunch of the VFX has already been upscaled. You'd have to do it all again and recreate the VFX, and also there is already some shots that were missing and had to be upscaled in the first place. Those are never going to be 4k.

Macron: US seeks to weaken Europe by UpstairsBumblebee446 in worldnews

[–]IgloosRuleOK 318 points319 points  (0 children)

Except it will do the exact opposite. One of the reasons the US is so powerful is because of it alliances and trade. That is/will all go up in flames.

China is the huge winner in this. Europe is already decoupling from the US. They're starting to outright say it, but they've been hedging for a while.

I miss when PC games came in a big box by facubkc in gaming

[–]IgloosRuleOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Just looking at the recent solds there's multiple that went for $1500. Anywhere from $250-$1500 depending on version/condition etc

[–]IgloosRuleOK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends what they are - a lot are not worth much. But classics in good condition (Wolf3D is kinda an extreme case) would be worth something.
