Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

Jameson Parker was shot twice by a neighbor on October 1, 1992 near his condominium in Studio City in a dispute over dog waste. He was released from the hospital a day later. The man who shot him was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to 9 years in state prison.
 
Adult Swim remade the "Simon & Simon" opening with John Hamm as Gerald McRaney. Don't remember who played Jameson Parker:
 
Mulling Christianity on Easter Sunday. The Holy Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3 aspects but 1 God. And now I kind of want someone to do a Christian TV show in the vein of Power Rangers where, at the end, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost link up like Voltron to defeat the bad guy.
 
I'm starting to suspect M$ got annoyed that I play solitaire offline and thus avoid all the ads and other annoyances and rigged the game the last time I had to "Get the latest updates!" Because I had a win rate right around 21% and now, with 1500 or so games, it's down around 21.3%. I used to win about every 5th game. Now I'm lucky if I win a game every 5 days. And it isn't like I suddenly became a shitty card player. It's that I suddenly get nothing but shitty cards. Even on the rare occasion that I figure out how to manipulate the deck to get the cards I need, I still get fucked on the turns: "Congratulations! You finally got a place to put a king and got to that red king so you could move that black queen. Let's see what's under it. The other black queen! Have fun trying to do something with that, you stupid fuck."

And I know it isn't me, because I still win about the same playing with actual cards--even when I get some fucked-up deal like all black cards or something.
...aand now I've started winning. Did I just hit an extended dry spell by random chance? Or is this upturn just a brief fluke? I did stop using the "SOLVE" button and "manually" playing the cards once I've won. Does the game make itself harder when you use the "SOLVE" button? Who knows? That's the trouble with the latest version of the game--as soon as they added the ability to chose a "difficulty level," they destroyed any credibility that it is a fair game of chance. You can't have an "easy" random card shuffle. Or a "grand master" random card shuffle. That's what "random" means, Bill. Sometimes you'll get an easy game, sometimes you'll get one that can't be won. On average you'll get something of moderate difficulty.
