  • Don't listen to these guys, there's a really easy solution:

    1. Set you voice mail greeting to the song you want to share
    2. Share your phone number with your group or post it online to the folks you want to share the song with
    3. Don't answer your phone for a few days
  • Or thinking that if you didn't get the drop in 9 attempts, you're practically guaranteed it in the next attempt.

    Nope, still 1 in 10 chance.

    In most simple written RNG calculations, past failures do not guarantee future success.

    I believe some games will keep a tally of failures and award a successful loot after x failures to avoid frustrating players.

  • Same thing happened with the iPhone shuffle. People complained it wasn't "random enough" and would often end up calling members of the same family and/or household in a row. So they rewrote that algorithm too.

  • I wasn’t sure if the policy was as explicit as something like “expel them all”

    FTA:

    The Safeguarding Americans From Extremism Act would require the Department of Homeland Security to refrain from issuing visas or granting refugee, asylum, or temporary protected status to anyone holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority. It would also revoke visas and refugee or asylum status for anyone who was granted it on or after October 1.

  • Importantly, the original intent* of AirBnB (renting your place while you're away or on vacation) won't be impacted unless you take more than 90 days of vacations in a year.

    rented for more than 90 days a year on a short-term basis

    Seems reasonable to me. Colorado defines a "short term basis rental" as 1 to 29 days.

    So people renting extra rooms on a month to month (or longer) basis to help make ends meet won't be affected either.

    The original advertised intent before large corpos started buying up properties to list them on AirBnB

  • Should have linked this instead:

    [theonion.com/search?q="No Way To Prevent This"](https://www.theonion.com/search?q="No\ Way\ To\ Prevent\ This")

    Edit: Effin hell, Liftoff or Lemmy keeps butchering the URL

    Edit 2: Had to escape each space in the URL to make it work

    Edit 3: Jerboa users try this link instead:

    https://www.theonion.com/search?q=No+Way+To+Prevent+This

    (Loses the quotes enforcing the word order in the search matches)

    Looks like spaces are not standard per W3 schools. Either have to use pluses or %20.

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1211229/in-a-url-should-spaces-be-encoded-using-20-or

    The Onion search does not seem to like %20

    https://www.theonion.com/search?q=No%20Way%20To%20Prevent%20This

    Liftoff attempts to "correct" the URL with %20s for spaces.

  • Indeed that was the case:

    According to The Strange History of Taco Tuesday, the promotional phrase was started in 1982 by a chain called Taco John’s based out of Cheyenne, Wyoming. In fact, Taco John’s placed a registered trademark on the phrase in 1989 to attach it to their brand. They filed a lawsuit against another restaurant chain after seeing that it was used, but the lawsuit resulted in bad press, so they have stopped enforcing their trademark. They still use it as their brand’s signature, and rightfully so!

    So Taco John gave up the trademark and now any restaurant can advertise "Taco Tuesday" specials.
