What's your problem (unless you're worried about setting the bedding on fire, which is a legitimate concern)? Let us ask Lisa Simpson: Images of bunnies are intersting for children, wich cause them to pick up smoking earlier. If your image is not PG-0, it should not be in a public space. Note: The article contents are "not avalible in my region". So there might be something about it being in a space with appropirate age restrictions. In wich case it would really be nonsensical.

Grailknight Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I think it more that the bunnies are doing that other thing that bunnies are famous for . The cigarette is just piling on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I'd have less of a problem with that than with the smoking. The other thing is harmless or even healthy if performed responsibly. Smoking only kills people, slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she did win as gauranteed. She got a check about a whopping: 0.02 € The fee to transform a check into real money was 0.05 € or something like that at the time. She kept this as a reminder not to fall for "Guaranteed win" again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 What's a clincher on that was that back in the 1990s I estimated that rather than burning a month of productivity hammering together a federal research grant proposal, I should just take a month's pay and spend it all on optomally-chosen lottery tickets. The expectation value of payoff per month of work was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 I did win roughly $90 one time ( before splitting 3-ways among 2 other co-workers though). I'd get them to think of random words, and then I'd add up the letters (A=1, B=2) Edit: And since I haven't played that often in my life (this was really the only time, and I was basically paying for only part of the ticket) so I've made money off the lottery. (though probably less the $10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Lottery calculations work out better if your group is not only buying tickets but are also the ones who are selling the tickets. I once tried working out the numbers for everyone in my office building buying their tickets through a lottery ticket business which we would set up inside the building. It helps the numbers quite a bit when you put in the co-op automatically getting 1/20th the cost of every ticket sold plus the co-op's share for every big winner. I mean, the lottery is still a huge waste of money. But if you're going to do it, becoming a member of a co-op and everyone buying all their tickets through it is better than going it alone.

So you have 2,624 points of terribly tasting pumpkin/maybe 5% tasty mass that can not survive in the wild unaided. If you consider that every single breed of dog is basically just wolf with a bunch of genetic defects... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
