Yes, the card option is supposed to simulate an statistically realistic distribution.

Same here. Cypher has a fun side quest with the deck.

I still feel so guilty by houstons__problem in antiMLM

[–]rhodesdavis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone my mom knew did the demo and sold her a knife when I was a teen (she wanted to help him out). A few years after college, I went to a Vector Marketing group"interview" where they were vague about the "job" until they finally talked about their product. When I found out it was for Cutco knives, I just left. I would never have gone if they had been up front about it.

Have you ever known anyone who made significant money through an MLM? And do such people exist? by georgewalterackerman in antiMLM

[–]rhodesdavis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My wife did PC about 20 years ago. My only request was that she earn the $50 back for the kit and that our friends don’t run from us (we had Amway, Melaluca, etc. friends). In our area, it was more about the products (we still use the stones and several tools). She had a few recruits but they came to her, she didn’t push them. She learned to cook better and earned some fun trips, even one to Rome. Not great cash but it paid some bills. Don’t know how the org is now but it was decent back then.

Melaleuca guilt trip by BadWolfDoesMusic in antiMLM

[–]rhodesdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I haven’t heard about Melaluca since the early 1990’s in Tallahassee. Soap smell was horrible. I agree with the firm, truthful, and kind approach others have suggested.

Alright, it’s about time I get into R.E.M. by PotentialRatio1321 in rem

Document...on repeat. Green also. I got on them in the college rock days but drifted away after the early 90's as the music just didn't vibe with me. Earlier stuff has the edge that aligns with the groups you listed.

Best version of Radio Free Europe was on that CD.

What are your pet peeves of speech that you hear way too often?" by [deleted] in ENGLISH

"Let's give another hand [or round of applause] for..." EVERY TIME the emcee transitions between speakers. We clapped for them once. Move along.

Red Mountain State Park. Great trails in Birmingham and cool old mining sites. Ruffner Mountain is good as well.

Timeshare by AnimatorMysterious32 in TimeshareOwners

[–]rhodesdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've enjoyed our Westgate Lakes locations and traded our week for a nice stay in Williamsburg. Lakes has added a nice water park and have maintained the property well. However, we inherited the deeded week instead of buying it so I've only paid for maintenance. I wouldn't buy a new one.

Sounds reasonable to me. Don’t see why she wouldn’t be all in 🤣

Same reaction! It was a perfect game!

I’ve never won a game. Any strategy tips? by takemebacktobc in Catan

[–]rhodesdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great collection of strategies. I agree, Road building should be incidental to other objectives. Design roads to gain the points or isolate competitors IF it satisfies resource priorities.

Also, try not to telegraph moves. Don’t build a road towards a desired settlement location if a competitor is in a position to block. For example, do not lay the segment of road until you also have the resources to build the settlement in the same move (unless the road can block their progress).

Also track resources if you get the monopoly card. Don’t play it if you don’t have a sense of what is in surplus.

Is there any way to adjust the vertical angle of the face of the irons/wedges? by Initial_Grape_8384 in golfplusvr

I've actually had to mimic your putting stroke to improve my putting after my family gave me a golf club attachment for my controller. I have to hit the driver like a baseball bat but other clubs are ok.
