Put it in ChatGPT, just for fun…

To find the probability of drawing 7 or more face cards (which includes Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Aces) from 8 random cards, we first need to recognize that in a standard deck of 52 cards, there are 16 face cards (4 each of Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Aces) and 36 non-face cards.

We need to calculate the probabilities of two cases:

1. Drawing exactly 7 face cards and 1 non-face card.
2. Drawing 8 face cards.

For both, we can use the hypergeometric distribution. The general formula for the hypergeometric probability is:

[ P(X = k) = \frac{{\binom{K}{k} \binom{N-K}{n-k}}}{{\binom{N}{n}}} ]

Where:

• ( N ) is the total number of items (cards in the deck, 52),
• ( K ) is the total number of items of one type (face cards, 16),
• ( n ) is the number of items to be drawn (8),
• ( k ) is the number of items of one type to be drawn.

For 7 face cards: [ P(X = 7) = \frac{{\binom{16}{7} \binom{36}{1}}}{{\binom{52}{8}}} ]

For 8 face cards: [ P(X = 8) = \frac{{\binom{16}{8} \binom{36}{0}}}{{\binom{52}{8}}} ]

We will calculate these probabilities to get the final answer.

The probability of drawing 7 or more face cards (Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces) from 8 random playing cards is approximately 0.0564%, or about 1 in 1772. This is a rare event given the small proportion of face cards in a standard deck.

I had one. They were giving them away for free at Radio Shack.

It was the vending machine underground or in some tunnel in Monkey Island 2. It’s been a while since I played through that one again.

Oh yeah, my Dad was a cheapskate. No way he was going to pay for a 1 900 number lol.

Yep, on the ScummVM. I’ve played through all the Lucas arts games. I remember where I got stuck on Monkey Island and felt so dumb when I figured out what I wasn’t doing.

I remember playing this with my Dad. We got to some point in the later game and got stuck and couldn’t continue. Same thing happened with Monkey Island.

Back before the internet, we didn’t really have any way to get help. There was probably a number you could call, but I can’t remember.

Typing abusive is a trigger for them.

I’ve generally had good luck with hardware and things just worked under linux. But one day I upgraded a few machines on my network to 2.5G ethernet. Several already had the ports, but my little NUC NAS box didn’t, so I installed a 2.5G usb ethernet dongle. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get it to work. It would show up and NM would act like it was up and there were no errors or anything, but it just wouldn’t actually function.

Eventually, I found out that it has a built in USB data partition that contains the drivers for windows. The card was coming up as a usb disk first when the hardware was assigned and not a network card which it should have been.

I had to write a blacklist the usb modules first, which I had done before, but I had to also write a udev rule to automatically add the network card and driver on boot. It wasn’t that difficult to actually do, but I had just never had to do anything with udev rules before. Took me a good three days of troubleshooting to finally get everything to work correctly on boot.

“Now what they know about the banana and mayonnaise?”

It’s because it actually is a security risk with the Chinese government having the ability to do who knows what with a frightening amount of data. There is also the option of selling the company to one that isn’t related to the Communist Party government, but no one seems to be talking about that option.

The only slippery slope is more apps owned by a foreign government that is not exactly our friend.

If the app was owned by North Korea, would you be cool with it too?They aren’t banning Instagram and Facebook.

I got so tired of them that I actually answered one a few weeks ago. I was shocked that an actual person answered.

I asked to be taken off and she was very nice and they actually did it.

Haven’t received one since.

You can see the awful, misaligned panel gaps in those photos.

It wasn’t a suggestion at all.

I was just saying that we, the consumer are going to end up paying for it somehow or another.

TWO MONITORS!

Like they’re going to just take the lack of those fee profits off the bottom line. Look forward to the new and/or increased yearly fees now.

The sound of the “Click of Death” still haunts me.

We had Jazz drives too, which just failed and caused you to lose a larger amount of data than a zip.

I watch all sorts of urbex and abandoned exploration videos. The Proper People are great.

Rust to running videos about restoration of old cars and heavy machinery. vice Grip Garage is great, that guys a hoot.

Lately I’ve been into the guy’s channel who bought the old Cerro Gordo mine and had been doing cool videos where he explores the old mines like 900 feet underground.

I’ve been into Heavy D Sparks rescue and recovery videos too.

If you asked me a few years ago, I would have not even said I’m interested in any of these, but with the flood of useless “creator” content, I think they’re pretty interesting.

zzzzziiiiippppp

Nice find!

I’d be curious to see RTINGS do a review of the panel on it.

I thought I was 43 for probably close to a year, and even told everyone that asked I was until I had to get my own health insurance and found out I was actually 44.
