Quote: EvenBobGo ahead and start it, I thought in
the news was a great idea. It got
like 85 pages in just a couple of
weeks.
It was a good thread. Unfortunately, I think some of the content triggered a mod.
Quote: MaxPenIt was a good thread. Unfortunately, I think some of the content triggered a mod.
Was neither "a" mod, nor was it just mods.
There are three active political threads, all of which have been and will continue to be front page threads for months and years to come. In the News, despite its title, was fast becoming yet another, only this one seemingly focused on the most clickbait-y, divisive, and antagonistic of angles. We don't need that.
Recreating a thread in its likeness, I can only assume, would be an OK thing to do. Private entities are going to space, they cured AIDS in a second patient, there's a 300mph production car now. Lots of things to talk about and keep the place interesting while one waits for new games or opportunities.
Just don't create another spot for people to poke and pick at each other. It's tiresome.
good? They either stink or have some weird
smell you can't identify. And they're cold in
summer and winter, even in Vegas. The AC
in Vegas is so cold I wear a light jacket
sometimes. Going from 110 to 70 is a jolt
to the system.

The fact that casinos have no place to sit
except at a table or a machine.
Why are you in a casino if you're not gambling?
Quote:When Casino personnel come up behind you
and put their hand on your shoulder or arm.
I practically jump out of my shoes and get
immediately furious that they startled me so badly.
I'm surprised management doesn't put a stop to this. Touching someone's shoulder while they're gambling is bad luck in Asian cultures.
On the first one, especially if women are perfumed, I hate it, the transference of their scent. A very modest amount of perfume is acceptable, but some women wear enough perfume to keep flys away. It literally inflames my bronchial passages to an uncomfortable degree.
And I double hate it when women just have to hug me, and they press their boobs on me, [if they are unacttractive], but then again the really good ones don't want to hug me. Or they don't ever do it twice, hehe.
Why do men have to hug each other? Yuck. People have odors, and most aren't pleasant, and some are sweaty. Yuck. They are bacteria farms, and of course, I'm the one with the problem when I don't want peoples liquids on me. Sheesh.
Quote: petroglyphI irritates me when people I barely know have to hug when saying hello or goodbye. And if it wasn't bad enough that women would do it so often, now men have to "hug" each other hello and goodbye.

aw, you need ((((((((((((((hugs})))))))))))))))
I agree about hugs with the noxious perfumes that make me gag for hours. Nobody usually wants to hug me anyway, but I get the old ladies that stink.Quote: petroglyphI irritates me when people I barely know have to hug when saying hello or goodbye.

Quote: TigerWuWhy are you in a casino if you're not gambling?
When you first go into Firekeepers,
there a round bench that holds
maybe 20. It's always covered with
people just sitting there. Ask
them.
Quote: TigerWuIf]Plenty of places to just sit in a casino.
Not if you just want to sit
there isn't. You'll be blocking
a slot, or sitting in a restaurant
where you have to order
something. Try sitting at a
slot and not playing for 10 min.
A woman will ask you to move
every time because you're
blocking the winning machine.
Quote: TigerWuDude, just sit in the keno lounge or sportsbook. Those places are designed for sitting on your butt for long periods of time.
You do realize most casinos outside
of Vegas don't have those. Sports
betting is illegal in 49 states, I believe.
I think in a way it is similar to how cat's mark their territory by pissing on everything. These perfumed lady's put their scent on you and no other woman will come close.Quote: onenickelmiracleI agree about hugs with the noxious perfumes that make me gag for hours.

Not any more, it's not. (Sports books) Construction everywhere, as fast as the states can put out administrative guidelines.

They have them in Oklahoma but you can only bet on horse races.

States were it are legal include: NM, MS, PA, RI, WV, NJ, and DE
DC and AR have passed bills, (not sure if they are waiting for it to start, or if it still needs signing)
Quote: TigerWuThey have them in Oklahoma but you can only bet on horse races.
It's legal in 10 states, no sports betting in
40.
Quote: SOOPOOBoth the Men's and Women's Basketball teams from the University of Buffalo have qualified for the NCAA tournament. The Men's tournament schedule was announced the day before the Women's schedule was announced. The imbeciles in charge scheduled both games to be played simultaneously. Really!?
The schedules were set months ago. What particular teams would play wasn't known, but the team's were fit into slots. Do you expect the tournaments should make changes.for two teams.that most likely wouldn't get through the first weekend?

Yes I do, and the schedule isn’t fixed months ago on time of day to play.Quote: billryanThe schedules were set months ago.

YES! It's always freezing in the spring and summer time.
I'm currently freezing my ass off in a casino. Perhaps I'm under a vent *moving locations now.
Why do people who are cold at temperatures that normal people find comfortable endlessly complain and whine instead of just wearing jackets?

I'm not a doctor but this sounds like it could be an extreme case of low T.
Quote: RigondeauxVery rarely have I found a casino too cold.

Cuz cold sucks. Dry, recirculated, pathogenic clouds of ass dust infused fake cold where it should be warm sucks more.
Ever see a womb? Not a single one states "refrigerate after opening". If there's a hell, Willis Carrier had better be in.

I don't know why you lizardmen can't just stay in the lizard dimension. I'm sure it's all hot and terrible. Allow the humans to enjoy the cool temperatures to which we are suited.
I have not seen a womb for some time.
But for real — bathroom toilet stalls WITH NO JACKET HOOKS. WHAT IN THE $@^£@%+ are these salooneries thinking?????
Quote: RSSpeaking of temperatures, casinos should set the thermostat to 105° F. No questions. If you’re not, too bad, go drink some water or go back to Antarctica where your fellow penguin and polar bear buddies live. Us humanoids aren’t suited to be in environments where the temperature is in the double digits — that’s just unhealthy and far too cold. What are you, some kind of robot? 10001110101

Jacket hooks on the door are too tempting to a thief. With good timing, a villain will be long gone before it's former owner can do anything but report what kind of shoes the scoundrelf had on. The proper placement for a jacket hook is on the back of the stall, assuming one does not travel with a body man.
If we let casinos keep the temperature above 75 degrees the money savings would allow them to get rid of 6/5 blackjack.

I'll lightly modify my statement as I oft forget the desert exists. 90* at 0300 has my condolences.
Quote: DRichI am always cold. It should be illegal to have a temperature below 78 degrees inside.

Casinos would lose money because no one would stay more than an hour or so with that kind of heat.
Hell, it was 72 degrees in my house the other day and I was walking around in nothing but a pair of shorts.

comes loose it's a real MF to get

I bought a smaller microwave trying to be cheap and save money, but it's not worth it. It's hard to fit a lot of dishes in there, and it's a lower wattage so everything takes like 30% longer to cook. Next time I'm just going to spend the extra $20 and get a full size REAL microwave.
Quote: TigerWuI bought a smaller microwave trying to be cheap and save money, but it's not worth it.
My wife got her last micro in 1993
and is still using it. About 10 years
ago I tried to make her get a new
one and she said, when it breaks.
It's junk, it's half the power of when
it was new, but she uses it every
dang day. If I mention it now she
gives the 'you're a moron' look that
wives save for husbands only.
My new one has a big interior and
is 1800 watts, a huge difference from
the 1100 I got rid of.

Those are supposed to be used as laptop tray when you stay in a hotel and want to use your laptop while on the bed.
That is my pet peeve, my pet peeve.

No, older laptops get hot, you don't want to set them directly on the bed or that could block the fans, not distribute the heat well, then your laptop will get hot and overheat. I really don't feel comfortable sitting a laptop directly over my balls for long(if windmills can cause cancer just imagine what a laptop will do to your balls). While traveling and staying at hotels, using the removable glass turn table from the microwave and placing it on the bed under your laptop will help keep it from overheating.Quote: FleaStiffWow. I surely do not rub sunscreen on my laptop, but place it atop a microwave?
When using the glass turn table in conjunction with the ironing board over the bed really makes for a great set up. You got to macgyver stuff whenever you can.
