    We guarantee, on behalf of the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, that when we tell you that something will happen with some chance out of 100, it will happen with exactly that chance.

    Umm I don't think you can actually guarantee that since you only use a pseudo random number generator...

    I had to look it up too. There were three definitions, murdered, beaten up or badly defeated.

    First step: Having to look that stuff up.
    Second step: Thinking it's a stupid word that only "kids" use.
    Third step: Blacklisting anyone that uses that word.
    Fourth step: :emoji_older_woman:

    It's a slippery slope before you are one of us :emoji_older_man::emoji_older_woman::emoji_older_woman::emoji_older_man::emoji_older_man::emoji_older_man::emoji_older_man::emoji_older_woman::emoji_older_woman::emoji_older_man::emoji_older_woman::emoji_older_woman::emoji_older_man:

    Computers are incapable of true randomness. So a true RNG needs some sort of organic input. We used the height of a bean plant we were growing as the seed for a RNG since it was constantly in flux. It was a fun project.

    Apparently also spelled merc or merced, possibly coming from mercenary and then slanged up so to speak. I may or may not have went OED/research dweeb on this cause I definitely never heard that till today.


    I'd assume the trained stalkers of our forum would know better than to barge onto my farm!
