Indeed. I would have thought "shades" (slang for sunglasses) would have been in there, but it's not. Perhaps it's not really slang and just a synonym.

In my "maybe I'll need it some day" pile, I still have the two-mono-plugs to one stereo jack adapter I bought at Radio Shack so I could stick it to The Man. I think I only used it half a dozen times.

Reminds me of the old slogan for Kix cereal. "Kid Tested. Mother Approved." Kids tested it but we don't know if they approved it. We don't know if mothers tested it; we only know they approved it.

That was a real hoot to scroll through. Thank you! And then there's "PAUCI." (People Against Under Construction Images.) I guess their hard work, dedication, and commitment to the cause finally paid off. https://

I was a little disappointed not to see an "under construction" banner on any of the websites I surfed.

I think Benjamin Chiang and his very new startup Volar are kind of trying to accomplish something along the lines of what you're describing. I think the way it works is you have a conversation with a chatbot about many topics. That gen

The title reminds me of the old joke... "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."

Years ago, I switched my home "land line" to a VOIP service provider. This provider allows you to build a simple set of actions which will occur when a call comes in. Mine works like this: Is the call from a fax machine?

I work in TV. During my first job at a small market station 30 years ago, I was training to be a tape operator for a newscast. All the tapes for the show were in a giant stack. There were four playback VTRs. My job was to load each tape and

I was never able to exceed 24kb/s with my "56k" modem. I came to find out that the phone company (in Austin TX) was using a single pair to service more than one customer in my apartment complex. Naturally, whatever piece of e

I suppose it has happened, but I agree with the point you're making. Unless you're really connected and know exactly WTF you're doing, there's probably about a 99.99% chance that the hitman you've hired will be an u

ARS commenters seem to have created a very specific kind of echo chamber and they guard it passionately, fiercely rebuking any and all dissenting opinions into oblivion. Sadly, ARS writers seem motivated to cater these folks' predilect

I also miss the icons for drives showing up in the finder window sidebar. Now, all drives' icons are ignored and replaced by generic, OS-assigned icons. Rather than having a visual cue of what to click on, one must read the name. Seems

Perhaps I should have been more specific with how my question was worded. What leads OP to believe that an Ace is _exclusively_ the lowest value card?

by chriscjcj 3y ago
Besides fixing the low Ace value, I would suggest allowing the player to use the keyboard play. It looks like the space bar does trigger a deal. Perhaps 1-2-3-4-5 selects and deselects cards and plus/minus allows the bet to increase o
