Yes, this is exactly where I was coming from. As long as the maximum bet is >~$20,000 ish then I figure you can make a decent living off roulette.
Oh yeah, I explained that in the thread but not here. The link was never working for me regardless of comp that I tried it on. Thanks a lot though!
This is what I was saying though. One bad run and the casino recoups all of its losses from you. You lose 6 or 7 in a row and that next bet looks pretty daunting. You might not be able to take it.

Yeah you are right, you absolutely need high capital and balls, plus the higher you go, the higher the max bet would have to be. I'm not sure how much those tend to be (In Vegas for example) but the movies make it seem pretty high.

It's called "chasing the loss." I had a friend who used to play like that. Won big sometimes, but also lost everything when he couldn't afford that final 2X bet.

Don't know of any specific forums but make a thread and put DetectiveGAF on the case.
I was raised in Vegas so when I go home to visit family I play at local casinos where the max bets are considerably lower but, on the games I play, the odds are better for me. Ceaser's Palace is a good place to gauge what the higher end max bets are. The "VIP" roulette rooms there had a max bet of 20k last time I was in.
I've done this a total of 2 times. First time it worked like a charm, second time put me in debt (which I'm clear from now thankfully) its always better to just realise your loss, accept it, and try again tomorrow/next week/month/year etc.

Okay, I'm downloading a movie from piratebay in my home. Downloading from that site on my campus is blocked. My download isn't finish and I would rather be in my dorm right now. Since the download has already started, will it continue in my dorm?
If just the site is blocked but torrent traffic isn't then it should be fine.

I know plenty of students who've had their accounts warned or suspended for downloading movies from torrent sites.
Edit: Oh, he was banned.

Still that's a bit of an over reaction (a very funny reaction) but I want to know what the story behind it is.

Does every audio receiver made in the last decade have audio lag/sync adjustment functionality?
I have a Sony home theatre in a box dealio that's done me well all these years. I've only recently become aware that its a couple milliseconds off or something. Only really apparent for some action shows, etc.
This is the model and the manual; can anyone help me determine if this receiver has the option for adjustment and how to use it? Can't find it for my life. Thanks.

So, I threw my phone at a wall because I was mad. I'm assuming it's broken now. When it turn it on, the screen lights up and sounds go off, but nothing is being displayed. It's just black. My phone is an Exhibit II.
Any chance I can salvage it?

Maybe if just the screen is broken, then you could order a replacement screen from eBay. But I wouldn't get my hopes up.

The screen isn't cracked or anything, but that may be it. There's no way I could dismantle the phone and fix it that way? I don't think I can really wait that long.

Alright, so my girlfriend has no insurance and to make it worse, really bad asthma. She can't walk for long, can't run, can't hustle up steps, and can't work out unless she has Advair. She also has spasms of the lung in which she immediately loses all her breath and can not gain it back without going to the hospital where she is given Prednisone. After being in the hospital the 3rd time this year, im wondering what I can do.
After geting it priced out buy Rite-Aid, the total for Advair Uninsured is $291.71 for a diskus (1-Month Supply). She was denied by every insurance she tried to apply to because she cant afford it or "makes too much money". Is there anything we can look into to get the price down on prescriptions, mainly Advair but her Ventolin (A rescue inhaler) cost anywhere from $50 to $70 depending what prescription she gets from the hospital.
She tried calling GlaxoSmithKline and seeing if she qualified for their reduced price/free Advair and they denied her also.

Maaaaaybe. I had something similiar happen to a DSi where all that was wrong was a loosened connector (no idea how that happened). You could try but if you're in a hurry (and the phone is still under warranty) I would just go to the shop you bought it from and get a lender while they fix it.

Are you asking for you? It depends, really. Some people look good in them and others don't. I, personally, don't like them but I do think some people pull them off.
Yeah, my current pair of glasses are bent to the point of looking ridiculous. I really like the style of the square lens, but people seem to have a vitriolic reaction to anything vaguely hipster. Normally I wouldn't care about it, but I'm looking for a new job so I'd like to keep up a good appearance.

I am using the iCloud Tracking feature--now when I track said person's phone, will they know? Does it give them a notification saying they're currently be tracked?

I didn't know they were considered hipster but I dont think many people pull them off well. I generally think the people wearing them look 'stuffy' .. like Swedish architects or something. (No offense to any Swedish architects reading GAF - I love Sweden and buildings)

Where is the best place to get stick shift lessons? I don't see any info on it on the MVA site near me. Don't want to mess up my friends' cars either

what's that?
I can vouch for this edition (Orion Press edition w/illustrations):
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001238ABA/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I bought a used copy at a local book store. It includes about two dozen illustrations from a 14th century manuscript, in color, most one page but a couple that span two pages. The translation is mid 19th century but very readable if you've ever read anything from that era before. I think I paid like 5 dollars for my copy, and I'd say if you could get a copy between 5 and 10 dollars that would be a good starter version. Just be forewarned there are no annotations or anything like that, so you're on your own when it comes to references to names and places. If you have any questions let me know.
Try going to a dealership and test driving a manual. If they ask why you're grinding the gears, explain that you are rusty.

It in a USB enclosure and format it with your computer.
People, especially around here, have a vitriolic reaction towards hipster because they took the whole geek look and made it look good/cool....as long as it's not an over the top parody of a hipster. Squared glasses that are a bit on the geek side are definitely in right now, if you can pull them off go for it.

Those Amish men who were sent to prison for the beard-cutting attacks on other Amish were allowed keep their beards because of their religion. I remember Nidal Malik Hasan, the military psychiatrist who did the Fort Hood shooting, wasn't allowed to grow his beard for his religion.
Anyone know whether this has to do with individual prison rules?

Uh no dude don't do this douche move, someone will buy that car eventually and you will never learn how to drive manual in 15 minutes. Try asking a friend or family member or look at driving schools in your area, they usually have lessons.
I don't know anything about individual prison rules. But my gut feeling is that it has more to do with that one is a practicing Muslim while the others are Amish. All religions are equal but some are more equal than others in a court of law.
Either that or because he was in the army and regulations state you can't grow a beard. There was a fuzz about it but I don't remember the details.

I think most people learn on an automatic these days. Or at least that's how I and a lot of people I know did it.
Must be an American thing, it's unheard of here.

Yeah. Around them here parts, if you get a driver's license for AT, you are not allowed to drive MT cars. But if you get a driver's license for MT, you can legally drive AT too.
I would guess only a tiny minority of Americans learn to drive a manual these days. I've never learned, which is unfortunate. If only one of my family's fleet of vehicles was a stick... maybe I'll have my friend teach me to drive his Hyundai one of these days.
I couldn't find a general billiards thread, but I think I'm obligated to make one if you want me to.
