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.

I dunno tho, I’m just making it up and hoping I’m close
The only argument I ever have in these discussions is that if you have to spell it differently to get the pronunciation “correct”, maybe it’s not a very solid stance?
Get cervical cancer? That’s kinda fucked up

My only results for “edge devices” refer to networking. Is that what they’re trying to say?

They had it coming anyway.

Also related, there is rarely a perfect way to accomplish something. People talk about being cogs in a wheel, but that’s pretty insincere when each cog is shaped differently. The way one might approach a task will nearly always be different, and that is pretty liberating, for me.
