Yes, exactly as you've described. The specific combination of Jokers here is making things confusing (and that's the point of the meme). Try taking each issue individually:

Straight can be made with a card gap. So A Q J 9 7 counts as a straight. So the hand will at least be a straight and all 5 cards will score on this basis.

Flush can be made with 4 cards; and spades/clubs count as the same suit. Q J 9 7 count as the same suit and are enough to make a flush. Even though the ace doesn't count towards the flush, it will still count as the straight. If there was no ace then the hand would still be a straight flush.

The way the game scores is tricky sometimes. It gets particularly annoying when I've levelled up flush and my hand also happens to contain 3 of a kind. Then the game counts it as a 3 of a kind instead and counts much lower chips/multiplier.

All 5 cards will be counted in the straight flush. It's a straight (with one card gaps) and a flush (with 4 of the "same" suit).

A dot afterwards? Now that's fancy!

Any luck? Or have you been using a 10year old phone because the stupid phone manufacturers think following Apple is a good idea

What a non-story. "That thing they said they were doing, they're still doing it". Cool.

Autocorrect.....you've screwed me again.

Corporate needs you to fond the differences in these 2 pictures.

Ace will get counted as part of the straight.

Britain looked at this and concluded: Brexit

Britain looked at this and concluded: "make it a class B drug instead of class C"

I wonder what passport people like you hold? This sounds like passport privilege. Those with "good" passports get to travel where they want without a thought.

There are many countries where they scrutinise where you're going to be staying and how you're going to pay. You can't apply for any visa without giving proof of accommodation bookings and showing bank statements.

I've been to America before Trump and there were plenty of questions at the border about where I was going and to see my confirmed hotel bookings, and I went with a "good" passport (UK) at the Canadian border.

I agree with your comment....except for the part about a small learning curve. The learning curve is steep and difficult. You've got to be willing to jump in as an enthusiast and not a casual user. This is not the choice for the vast majority of normies (as you rightly conclude). The saving grace for Linux will be pre-installed systems with extremely polished UI's (like the Steam Deck).

I'm highly motivated to stay on Linux, but there's still a list of open issues for me (this is a year and a half after adoption....I'm just living with these limitations now, and there are a couple more I've added to my list of unsolvable problems since).

I've seen a lot of individuals like this in my life.... "I don't want to play, so the game is over". No dude, you're welcome to not participate, but you're not the life of this group.

As amusing as this story is, I'd like to point out for those not from UK: the Daily Mail is worth less than used toilet paper and it is likely that this story is distorted and exaggerated to the point of fiction. This rag thrives on their outrageous stories being circulated like this on social media.

Excellent choice. I did the same last year. I'm still on Tumbleweed.

AI won't reverse enshitification, but it is one solution in this sense:

The internet is too far gone. It's all bots and advertising and disinformation and exploitation and data harvesting. People still seem to trust content on the internet for some reason. AI will sort that out by making the internet so unreliable, people will have to distrust it to the extent they should.

I really hate that I can't get a lie in on the weekend. Kids wake up and my brain wakes up. I'll have to start going to bed earlier....which I hate. I want to stay up and play video games and wake up late. But I guess I'm becoming an old man and need to embrace the old man life.

My body has started doing this and I hate it.

My younger one (4) gets scared by Bowser and comes to me. I have to do the same stages over and over for him. But he's getting better.

The older one (6 now) finished Super Hexagon (all stages) and Ori to 100% completion at the age of 4. He used to ask for help with the last stage of Super Hexagon..... That was way beyond my abilities. Really need to get this kid onto Street Fighter to male use of these skills.

You know you shouldn't joke about these things. These are very serious matters. You're very luck and privileged, but some people really struggle. We've tried our best to provide you with everything and give you a comfortable life, but don't forget how hard others have it. You don't appreciate all this or appreciate us. We still need to talk about your grades by the way.
