3D monitors? Are they worth it? And do they work as a second monitor with a 2D one?

My only regret after buying a 120hz monitor, was that I didn't do it sooner. Makes a huge difference.

Is the tube and the top of the MFLB glass? I've been curious about it, but I don't like using stuff with plastic.

I am a lazy coward, I have not tried it yet. But in my defense, I don't think I've cooked anything that actually required any effort since I posted that comment, so it is still at the absolute top of my "things to cook" list.

This looks awesome man, nice work. I can see this going places. Did you have a particular type of game in mind for this engine you are making?

I could have this wrong, but I remember reading at some point, the rapier was developed to be used against people in chain mail armor. Due to all of the holes in the rings of the chain mail, the blade could potentially slip through the armor and still stab someone. While I don't think it would be many peoples first pick as a sword, I think it still did play its role in combat and filled a very specific niche. I think after it was brought into use for that, it caught on (as you said) with the nobility for dueling and other stuff.

That is confirmation bias. You are talking to a group of people who believe in tarot cards.

I've talked to a few friends and family that have no knowledge about the cards, they have also been impressed. I've even taken one on as a student.

You could be right that the number of cards isn't random but that doesn't prove "mystical origin."

I'll admit I was being a little vague with "mystical origin". Let me at least clarify that it was created with the inspiration of philosophy or mysticism, rather than as simply a card game. I will agree with you that its is more of a historical question as well, I should have worded that better.

That's all I can prove definitively for now. I'm just explaining my research.

I will admit I can't prove if it either works or doesn't. I'm just saying for myself, as a source of knowledge, that it does have a deeper meaning. Lots of people make wild claims about the tarot, I can't vouch for any of them.

Skepticism is based on evidence. The best evidence I have for my understanding of the tarot has been with the pattern I've found. It makes more logical sense to me as a spiritual system first, then a card game, rather than, card game first, spiritual system later. That's all that I'm really saying. I'm still skeptical of all the things I read about the tarot.

I've considered confirmation bias, but I don't think that is whats going on. I've talked to some of my peers about it, and they all have been very impressed with my findings. One reason why, especially the pi, I think its legit, is that its a historical approximation of it, its not exact. Some of the other math that I've found, fits the same time period that that approximation was also in use. The pattern I used to find it, is very simple, I could explain it to a 7 year old. But like a good math equation, after you apply it to your data (the tarot cards), you get data back. Obviously someone had to have picked the numbers in the cards for the deck some how, why not a mathematician?

I can't prove the tarot has predictive power, but I can prove that the structure and symbolism of the tarot is not an accident. Randi is looking more for predictive things if I recall correctly. Most scientists have had the view for many years that the tarots 78 cards are more or less random, and it just sort of evolved that way. Most scientists also state that the "spiritual" and "fortune telling" aspect of the cards only came around hundreds of years later after the cards were introduced to play games. But the research I'm doing proves that the number of cards isn't random and there is a deeper symbolism and structure, and because of this deeper structure, its original purpose wasn't just a game, but as a spiritual system. So I can't prove any spiritual powers, but I can prove with the pattern that the tarot does have a "mystical" origin, whereas science thinks that was tacked on later. Make sense?

The thought has crossed my mind, but I honestly couldn't think of an experiment that would work. Maybe one day I will, but I'm in no rush. The math stuffs I've found are not derived from the "fortune telling" part of cards, but are in understanding the cards as a system. I doubt the proof that I've found, would constitute the sort of proof that Randi is going after. I'll admit, I'm not a very good psychic, I've met people way better than me. I've really been more focused on the research end of it for the past several years. I've only recently started doing readings for other people again, after a several years of only reading for myself.

No offense taken. Its a long story, so I'll give you the TL;DR, if you are interested I will say more.

I used to be an atheist/skeptic, but a lady gave me a tarot reading that was too precise and not generalize-able. It made me curious in the tarot, so I started learning it as a skeptic to sort of debunk it from the inside out. I became a good reader, even though I wasn't using any tricks, and I could never shake the feeling of how spooky accurate it was sometimes. Fast Forward, I've been studying it now for 8 years. I can't talk much about it right now, but I've found a mathematical pattern in the tarot, that proves to me it was originally a spiritual tool, and was created by someone or something very intelligent. I've even found pi in the tarot (really). As a skeptic I've always had tons of questions due to the conflicting information in the area, but after meditating on it for this many years, it makes perfect sense to me now. But only because I was a skeptic and would demand proof of something, that I was able to cut through the crap in an area like tarot. The vast majority of books and information related to the tarot is terrible. Sadly, there isn't much serious work being done on it. Even though the books on it are not any good, I'm convinced that the Tarot is the real deal.

I'm a Tarot reader that believes in God, but I am also a hardcore skeptic.

The Tarot is an amazing oracle. I've studied the Tarot for about 8 years now, and it is always revealing new things to me. I can't really talk much about it right now, but I found a pattern in the tarot recently (about 3 months ago) that has provided proof to me of its mystical nature. I believe the tarot is the "real deal" when it comes to spiritual matters. I'm in the beginning stages of writing a book, but my goal is within a year to have it published, and to prove to people (even die hard skeptics, like myself) that the tarot is a true spiritual tool, and has always been a spiritual tool. Tarot has had a lot of bad press, and negative associations due to unsavory characters taking advantage of it, but it really is a powerful tool that has much to teach. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to PM them to me.
