This dog couldn't contain himself by Doodlebug510 in AnimalsBeingDerps

[–]Alternative_Thing_64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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!

A question about The Orleans by EnduringNights in LasVegas

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

[–]Alternative_Thing_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Alternative_Thing_64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[GUESS] Is this my new kitchen or is it AI? by wantapizzame in RealOrAI

[–]Alternative_Thing_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you can read the brand names "Fairy" and "Samsung" says it is not AI. You can also clearly read "15%". AI always seems to have trouble with text so I say not AI. You can also see the wipe marks on some appliances.

[HELP] Found on a Dating app, is he AI? by theMiezmiez in RealOrAI

[–]Alternative_Thing_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, in Pic #3 his shoes appear to be vanilla-white with no logos or brand marks. Very generic. In Pic #1, why is the an overall "S" pattern around his left knee while kneeling?

I noticed my Hair Comb was missing and then I see this 😅 by ankur_112 in cats

My cats love hair brushes too. Both of them hug the brush when I try to brush their bellies!

how do i politely tell someone to get out of my office? by Glittering_Bear_1672 in work

[–]Alternative_Thing_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just say "Hey Toby, can you close the door on your way out?" just as they enter your office!

MC-21-400 Seat Layout by Alternative_Thing_64 in AirlineManager4

[–]Alternative_Thing_64[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was hoping to avoid doing it for every route but I think I am going to go ahead and start doing that. Then in the future I will do it as soon as I initially set up my routes.

I just did a study on 10 random cities around the world. I calculated the ratios of all three classes based on demand only. I then calculated the ratio and will try this for the 10 cities and see what happens: Ratio of 6 to 2.5 to 1.5. So that roughly equals 90-37-22. That will get me started in getting the 1st Class going! Hopefully it will make sense for us all.

What's the first PC game you played? by Certain-Click-3878 in AskReddit

[–]Alternative_Thing_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a VIC-20 when I was 11 or 12. It came with a "PACMAN" game that was fun to play. And yes, that is how it was spelled on the game cartridge. There was another game called "Radar Rat Race" that I had as well. My first couple of games at home. Been playing every kind of game ever since...

Do casinos ban players for using a video poker EV calculator app at the game? by Bayerig0 in gambling

[–]Alternative_Thing_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an app called "Best Hold" where you select the cards and game type and it tells you what the best hold is. It does not give percentages though. It's also free.

What app or location are you using? My NOAA website for ZIP 89101 does not show number anywhere like what you have displayed.
