This post got me going without my morning coffee. Coffee is brewed
with water that is near boiing (212 degrees F at sea level)....you can
not make it 30 degrees hotter than that!! Does somebody need to be
warned that coffee is HOT? And then when her hand told her that the
cup was hot, why did she put it in her lap from which point it got
spilled?
To attempt to bring this thread back to a semblance of relevance to
VP.... the above post says a whole lot about why people still think,
for example, that it matters whether a machine draws all 10 cards when
you press deal, or whether some machines can be "loose" or "tight", or
just about every other casino myth in existence.
Why? Because even when presented with a link detailing the findings of
fact made by the jury in the McDonald's case (one of several that have
been posted in this thread) some people STILL refuse to believe
reality, and go off insisting on things like "Coffee is brewed with
water that is ... 212 degrees F" when that conclusively is not true or
relevant in the context of the discussion.
It's patently clear that the above poster didn't bother to avail
himself of any of the information available to him in this thread,
before spouting off some more nonsense which does nothing more than
perpetuate a myth.
Discussions of fact are clearly pointless in the face of irrationality,
hysteria, ignorance, and plain old stupidity. To borrow a notion from
Einstein, the choice to remain ignorant in the face of plain fact is
the essence of insanity.
Bill Velek had noted me as being off the list in a prior post. I
wasn't, until this morning. This was the last straw.
My unsubscribe will follow.
