That Morse code tidbit is actually super interesting. I'm curious how systematically they went with it, like E-I-S-H were the most common, and are ascending in dit counts. And then A being one dit and dash being the next most frequent. Or some combination of "values" for a dit/dash

Right but the way I took the meme was that you would roll until you get a 1, then deciding the next roll is the "real" one.

Ok. I know that this isn't correct... But isn't it?

If you're having an unlimited number of rolls prior to your "real" roll, then you would be, in essence, creating a situation that has a statistically lower chance of happening.

Get cervical cancer? That's kinda fucked up

Ah, but you're calculating the area, so it would be length * width, not just multiplying by 2.

So you're looking at 25 at the bottom and 49 at the top, making your average 37 per layer.

Not sure where you'd land at 12 nuts per layer on average. If you go off 5 nuts "wide" as your diameter you'd end up with at least 20 nuts at the bottom layer (area = π(5/2)² = 19.6).

I don't know the logistics behind some of these giveaways, but it doesn't have to mean that the devs are giving up their revenue. It could be gog just fronting the "cost", no?

The URL is direct to gog tho? Unless you mean you didn't recognize gog as a reputable website

I have never heard the phrase "runs on the edge", and the article uses some form of it a half dozen times.

My only results for "edge devices" refer to networking. Is that what they're trying to say?

How would you go about using a different subdomain without something like a reverse proxy? Heck, in my head that's almost the only reason I use a reverse proxy

Just because I'm curious, is the fact that this is a "risky gamble" concerning to you? Or that a lawsuit such as this is expected to be drawn out, likely putting a large deterrent on less affluent victims from seeking justice?
