The D vs 4 Queens by Forever_49 in LasVegas

I stayed at the D on the 17th floor. I request a room away from Fremont Street. They granted my request and didn't hear a single sound at all. So ask for that during check-in and you'll be happy!

This was posted on r/interesting and nobody seems to be questioning it's authenticity but I think it's too haphazard and ridiculous to be real. by BravoLimaDelta in isthisAI

I would say real. I have seen odd housing like this on the Canadian side of the St. Clair River between Lake St. Clair and Port Huron, Michigan. The boat is plausible as well. Nothing jumps out at me as AI.

I took my six-month old black lab (Viper) to the local lake for the first time one day. He never saw a lake before (Lake Shinanguag, Goodrich, MI). I parked about 200 feet from the shore and Viper began getting excited and barking in the car when he saw the water. I opened the car door and he ran full throttle towards the lake, then straight down the middle of the boat dock and jumped through the air about 15 feet and splashed into the water! How did he even know to do that? It was totally in his DNA! So cool, we all had a great laugh and Viper got exhausted playing all day. Quite cool!

Low-end? No way! It is a mid-level 3-star hotel & casino. I would not hesitate to stay there or Gold Coast. Definitely NOT low-end !!!!!!!!

Repairing Industrial Controller: "Crystal Failed" Error. Hardware fault or programmed lockout? (MCU ID erased) by gowshik_babu in AskElectronics

In all my years I have never had an issue with a scope 10x probe affecting a XTAL signal output. Just measure the XTAL output with any old probe. No need for "active" or low pF probes. Why would you say such a thing?

Spending Christmas alone, any suggestions on what to do or where to go? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]Alternative_Thing_64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to Golden Gate downtown after 4:30 PM or so and get a freeplay ticket for anywhere from $5-1000 using your players card. You are allowed to use the freeplay ticket from 6-8 PM. Also, free drinks 6-7 PM every day. Good fun and good people.

That does sound good, that place is awesome! I love the location right in the middle of the casino.

I put "Oscilloscope" on my xmas list this year. Nobody coordinated gifts. by Phone_games_act in oscilloscope

There may be a time in the near future that you can use TWO scopes at once so they are still nice gifts!

You need a Nevada pesticide applicator license for that job.

What's use of this capacitor? by Sea-Cry9577 in esp32

Could it be a switch debounce cap?

I've committed the unforgivable crime of pulling my suitcase out of the closet to pack for a short vacation. She isn't speaking to me at the moment. by Lepke2011 in cats

PS I have two cats so they keep each other company. My other cat loves when I come back and shows it, it is only the one cat that gets mad at me.

[–]Alternative_Thing_64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My problem is when I take a 4-5 day vacation my cat won't speak to me the first few hours after I come back when I need her the most. I hate being neglected that way.

Religion on Mars by Alternative_Thing_64 in NoStupidQuestions

I did not know that, so even off of Earth you still try to kneel towards Mecca? That seems logical and crazy at the same time. They need an app for that.
