 Ok, for real. Deer exist, I know. I know because I have evidence. 
 Respectively; no, no, and not entirely but maybe a tiny bit? You can only *approach* 0 faith, like an asymptote. Acknowledging that gives you a heuristic to weigh the validity of evidence.
-People talking about something's existence is not evidence. but I can buy some laughably overpriced venison in the store, right now. Although, that could be false advertising. This would be the same grocery store that puts some corn syrup in some sake and calls it mirin. Not just mirin, but they specifically label their aji mirin as "hon" mirin. the fact that someone would lie to everyone and argue it's ok because it makes money is... really... how the world works. at the moment. Presumably forever. One person proposes one thing, and doesn't get interrogated.

 Consider the most terrifying cryptid in my culture: the Hyperlitigator. Imagine a cold blooded reptile, emerging from a swamp, and snapping its jaws shut over a slight legal loophole. By twisting the court to its will (how hard could that be), it can extract financially ruinous judgments from poor, long-suffering job creators.

 this sounds much more like something I'd complain about than your stereotypical maga fascist. but then again, cracker barrel is a restaurant that has a very "country" aesthetic. if we remember the "brad's wife" fiasco, the customer base skews boomer.

 You see how that works, warframe wiki?! 
+
 warframe, like any freemium game, has an element of gambling. The majority of what you spend real money on is guaranteed odds. Or, more cynically, you're paying them money in order to *not* play the game. Which is why when I saw the ludicrous resource cost for cryotic for sibear, I vowed to master every weapon in the game except that. I had that done, for a second there, until they added more weapons.
 Anyway. While we're looking at the warframe wiki... In order to sell in china, they had to publicly disclose their drop rates. (what a cool thing for China to have done for its citizens. do you think they also disallow forced arbitration? oh, no, they're on the same page as us with that, damn.) So as a result of the public drop table, we get to see charts like this.

 Look, in the game about shooting stuff to get loot to build gear to more effectively shoot stuff, etc... Nekros increases the loot you get. best.

 In that one, wiki contributer Finner explains what is meant by "nearly guaranteed". it's a range, so at the lower end of that range is 99% chance, at the top of that range it's 99.99%. easy. what i have been salty about for like a decade is that his definition of "expected" is *bizarre*. It's not helped by the fact that I think he's referencing old data. 
-he divides the warframe drops into 3 "types". type 1 is like nekros, where all 3 parts drop from the same place. type 2 is where all 3 drop from a different place. (Type 3 is just equinox, with 8 drops needed. That one's a slog.)

 But if we look at his math for type 2, we can see what he actually means by expected. Assume the law of large numbers applies to small numbers. I.e., if you want to roll 1 of the 6 sides of a d6, you just throw it 6 times.
