  - wait, no, that's the odds of the first three being spades -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 14:42
- My answer, hoping for someone to confirm - Strongbad May 23, 14:38 10

        Because 4th grade and fractions are a long time ago, and I forgot about how to work with denominators. -- nm - Roger More May 23, 15:07
    - You've got to include the permutations. - Reagen May 23, 14:48
    - maybe you're missing the ordering ... dunno -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 14:47
  - Hmmm... by my calc, the odds of dealing 3 spades with three cards is about 1.3%. - Roger More May 23, 14:42 1
    - I think you're right and I'm wrong, but I can't figure out why I'm wrong. -- nm - Strongbad May 23, 14:43

      - They take five days. Three day games are for amateurs. -- nm - Roger More May 23, 15:08
    - (and when I say hardly any time at all, I mean by objective standards, not cricket standards) -- nm - Roger More May 23, 14:20 1
      - heh -- nm - Diva May 23, 14:22

- technically thats only littering, if they put it in the dumpster it become misdemeanor theft of services -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 13:52 1
  - Technically, it is still stupid, too. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 13:54
When the plastic bags are outlawed, only outlaws will use plastic bags. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 13:43 30
- I'll pay .05 for plastic bags if I have to. No way am I going to use one of the germ/disease carrying reusable bags. -- nm - Stephen May 23, 14:20 8
  - you never wash and rewear clothes, eh? -- nm - b. May 23, 14:31 5
    - Nope. You should see my clothes budget! heh ;P - Stephen May 23, 14:37 1
      - it doesn't have to be done that often, as the insides of bags are mostly touched by non-messy/germy things. I wipe-out/off the plastic ones with - b. May 23, 14:41
    - I mean, he has two small kids! Every surface of his home is covered in germs! -- nm - Reagen May 23, 14:35 2

- they are considering reversing the 5 cent fee here. i actually wrote to my counsellor and told him we should keep it. - Andie May 23, 13:45 19
  - fwiw, I think I'd rather have that than a ban. - b. May 23, 13:55 8
    - Hmm. Our Target bags rock. Much sturdier than the grocery bags. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 13:56 7
      - localTargets used to have great plastic bags; but, maybe a couple of years ago?, they switched to weaker ones. - b. May 23, 13:58
      - Also, readin gthat link, it makes me sad that the paper bag ban died. I would rather see them all banned then some of them. - Spawn May 23, 13:58 5
        
        I've used reusable bags longer than anyone else I know, I've given them as gifts (pretty ones!), and more. if paper are offered, I choose (and reuse) - b. May 23, 14:35
        
        I like my reusable bags, I just never remember to take them with me. -- nm - znufrii May 23, 14:24 2
        
        I have mine on a hook by the back door. I just grab them on the way to the car. - CovingtonCat May 23, 15:06

        [deleted]
        
        Tons. There is litter, just not those bags. There are a lot of locations to recycle those bags, so I guess that helps. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 13:51 2
        
        folks use them as trashbags, poop scoopers (i always have one in my pocket) but yeh i've seen fewer in the wild -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 13:55
        
        i don't know, the ones we used to see were always ripped etc. like, the handles broke and someone dumped it, etc. - Andie May 23, 13:53
