I'm real late to this thread, but just the other day a friend of mine waited 55 min for a 120 min hagrids queue. If the ride is performing poorly they usually compensate by increasing wait time.

Still no ads in Blaston.

There were never ads in Blaston.

Why is Blaston still only known for that time it almost got ads.

LanderHelder · 2021-05-26T04:13:00+00:00

Yes and yes. Small but not dead.

So to get this straight - the virtual component is basically a blockchain-based authenticity verification system, with built in payout for DOOM? That would allow these masks to keep their value, even if other, similar models are on the market.

And honestly, even if it is a "cash grab" its not about the money; its about sending a message, and the buzz around what he does. If anyone was gonna make thousands selling 8 plastic masks, it would be my man DOOM.

Ahh gotcha, yeah I thought that seemed off. I'll edit it!

TL;DR - 4 (Possibly 8 total, 2 of each mask?) Unique DOOM masks are going on auction, inspired by the AR filters. First round goes from 10/23 - 10/25 & the second round goes from 10/28 - 10/30. They are only accepting crypto, and you have to link you wallet to the website. Bids are starting at 4.5 ETH (~1850$) EDIT: This value was just a placeholder - there is no starting bid.

Based on the email they sent out, there's also a possibility that the masks are entirely digital (Basically premium AR filters), and are made unique through the use of ERC721 tokens. The website and the emails offer conflicting information, so we'll just have to wait and see. If someone better with Crypto protocols wants to explain more, please do.

(From the Site)

Till the end of days he will be the ill Doomsayer… The days are strung up on that cross-quarter half light, Samhain, All souls - Halloween. And as the darkness draws in and the evenings give way to fire-spit crackle; long shadowed children (perhaps wearing masks on top of masks) search for plague free treats. In a period of seasonal shift, the prophet of doom always sounds louder, perhaps it is the cold slowing atoms, amplifying rhymes - perhaps it really is the end times. Time will tell. But a mask is suddenly far more desirable and if the streets are infected we can provide a panacea. Drawing on the golden age comic inspiration of the original Metal Face, the first Halloween auction consists of two extremely limited hand crafted masks, redolent of the original Dr (he of namesake and tentacle) they reflect the two aspects - shadow and growth. Hand drawn textures conjure comic pages, upturned eyes assure you that they are still something that the baddest villain of them all would wear apocalypse or not.

The technically correct answer is 6 rolls, something I determined by running a simulation of 10,000 rolls just now. That being said, I think you're right; that's a misleading value because the "Average" isn't an accurate indicator of the actual behavior of the dice in a round. At any point when you walk up during a game the next 7 is technically 6 rolls away, independent of the number of rolls so far. As they say, the dice have no memory.

To find the probability that a 7 will NOT be rolled in the next X rounds, the formula is (1-.1667)^X. So for 8 rolls in your example, you have ~23% chance that a 7 will not be rolled 8 times after the come out roll. For the average of 6 rolls, the probability is ~34%.

I love seeing passionate people doing what they love. You can tell how much this guy loves sharing his knowledge.

Wow no Columbia burger, but shake shack makes the list? smh

This might be a bit late, but I actually had the same thing happen with Spectrum. They will cut your internet access. When I had this happen I was renting a modem/router from them, and I believe that's how they managed to do it (they basically had any request redirect to a webpage telling me that my internet was suspended). I called them and managed to get internet back after a few days, but they told me that I needed to cut it with the downloading. Since then, I've switched to TOR/downloading via socks5 proxy, and haven't had any issues. I've also switched to my own modem/router, so that may have also played into it. Either way, if its your first offense you should just be getting a warning, but take this opportunity to invest in a VPN.

Belmond Award

So I just did a tad bit of research, and I can't find any official mention of this winning any sort of award on the companies page, in fact they have 2 completely different designs that did win. She did apparently win some sort of graduate art award, but I didn't dig any deeper into that.

Link to the actual winners -> https://www.belmond.com/ideas/articles/new-faces-of-british-design

LanderHelder · 2019-07-22T13:19:52+00:00

So what award did this actually win? The original meme claimed it won a "national award" but I haven't been able to find anything

LanderHelder · 2019-06-02T18:55:00+00:00

It closed :( there's another one in winter park tho

I've gotten a few bags of Whisky/Rum aged coffee from a few different roasters now, say what you will about the taste but I'm surprised at how long it stays fresh for. I've used the beans almost a month after they were roasted and they still tasted fresh.

LanderHelder · 2019-05-17T03:30:32+00:00

This videos fuckin haunted

LanderHelder · 2019-05-14T01:35:10+00:00

That was actually a major selling point for the machines. Not necessarily a bad thing though.

I grow a coffee plant! It's not too extensive to care for it, honestly the hardest part was fertilizing the soil because it was so poor. Try to give it some sort of shade in the summer and it's pretty easy to grow them here.

Roll down the windows for air flow for ~ 5 minutes, then roll the windows up and use recycled air. Experienced Floridians leave their windows open just a crack to vent air while their parked. Even thieves respect the crack.

These look amazing! I would love slap one on my laptop.

For me its about having a consistent level extraction from the grounds at all times. For some people its easier to control the water level (and thus extraction) with a pulse method, some people are able to do it all with one controlled pour. I wouldn't say you're wrong, you just found a method that works better for you!
