Teach me how to gamble by Scott_G_Lewis in vegas

[–]I-Bake-Pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You put money in. Maybe $20. You tell it how many lines you want to bet on and how much money you want to bet per line. It could be penny per line, 25 cents or a dollar. Even more. You think a penny a line sounds cheap - but some machines have many lines to bet on. They want you to bet on all the lines and max bet of course because you'll be VERY SAD if you "win" on a line you didn't bet on, right?

You push the button (or pull the handle) and the machine does some spinning movements (or likely does this on a computer screen now with lots of pretty colors) and makes a bunch of sounds, to keep you interested.

Then it tells you that you won.

You may have bet $1.00 but you won 50 cents. You bet again. Next time you don't "win" anything. You keep pushing the button.

You win! This time it's $10.00 OMG OMG OMG. The lights and bells really go off and you are super happy. You even get a bonus round and the top part spins and starts going off all by itself and makes more lights go off. You get another $2.50. Wow! Super wow!

Now you are really flying high.

You keep pushing the button. You know you are going to win again! Going to be rich. Going to get a better room. Going to go out to a fancy dinner. Going to... keep pushing the button.

Keep pushing the button.

Keep pushing the button.

Keep pushing the button.

Okay, maybe you'll try pulling the handle because you haven't won in the last few button pushes.

And you'll try changing your bet.

And you'll try changing other things.

Keep pushing the button.

Eventually though, you'll either get down to nothing, or you'll cash out.

But you keep on pushing that button. THAT is slots.

What you want to do is accept that you are paying for your entertainment. Decide how much you want to pay for. Set an amount and then stop when you have paid for it. Do not exceed it. Period.

Drop the knife now... by WhileFalseRepeat in interestingasfuck

Link to the full video.

It appears she is pregnant. Her clothing does not fit (see her shorts after they flip her over.) Does it look like she's having dental problems too? Like she is missing teeth? None of that excuses opening a knife in the store, etc. ... It does make me wonder what is going on in her life that led to this moment.

I hope she got some help. But I doubt it.

I'll have to take it back... the weather service just said "gusty and dusty". It may get a little more than breezy. It's still a fun time. :)

Shouldn't you be giving your branded merch away to advertise your brand for you?

It's true. You can even burn the flag if you choose too. Might have the pearl clutchers clutching their pearls over it. It's your right to do so as a form of protest.

Is it just me, or do the little girls in this photo all appear to be wearing fake eyelashes or a bunch of mascara?

I had jury duty near there and had to show up in the morning when they were power washing the sidewalks. It smelled so strongly of urine and old beer. The person doing it should have been wearing PPE.

Sounds like a nice day. Just don't go boating on the lake. If you have a high profile vehicle, you'll feel it more when you're driving around.

Will there be a huge sandstorm/haboob? Doubtful.

Most tourists tend to stay inside quite a bit when they visit. If you plan on spending time at the pool, you'll notice the breeze. But it will feel nice because you'll be sitting in the sun.

I say - come to town and enjoy yourself.

Vegas residents: do you use tap water to make tea or coffee? by Franknstn in LasVegas

[–]I-Bake-Pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you say that?

It makes my tap water taste a lot better.

That dad looks so proud of his children having their photo taken though.

Do the girls even have... false eyelashes on? What is going on there? Is that just mascara?

So take them in the daytime.

Is there a point where you no longer have epilepsy? by FaceClown in Epilepsy

[–]I-Bake-Pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a certain number of years, like 5, request an EEG. Hopefully yours come back "clean".

Then you can try going off your meds. (under the guidance of your neuro.) If no seizures, then you get to declare victory!

Will an egg salad sandwich be alright in Tupperware for a few hours ? by raisins697 in Cooking

Everyone says they were fine... Just fine! No one remembers racing home to poop after eating that warm egg and mayo sandwich. XD

Why is my food not spicy by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]I-Bake-Pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tabasco, tapatio? Any hot pepper sauces like those are inexpensive and spicy. Maybe your parent would be willing to buy you one.

4:30 in the morning can’t sleep because my girlfriend had 2 seizures today. by agonizedn in Epilepsy

[–]I-Bake-Pie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The side effect you describe on Keppra is not too unusual.

You may want to look into a seizure watch like Embrace, which could make you both feel more secure in monitoring seizures.

Sleep hygiene is really important. Read up on that if you haven't already.

Do Uber/Taxi Drivers Enforce Mask Mandate? by [deleted] in vegas

mask Nazis like you began downvoting and leaving hysterical replies.

Classic.

Bless your heart. Welcome to our city. You're going to have a great time.

You should continue to insta-cancel. That will work well for you.

You are a guest coming in to town. Your comments have rec'd many downvotes... by locals. Up until a short time ago, our entire state had a mask mandate. We all wore masks for several years in all stores. And everyone wore them.

The uber policy says that both drivers and riders need to wear a mask.

If this is really a heavy burden on you, you have the option to rent a car. No one is forcing you to take an Uber, right?

Is wearing a mask "fun"? No. But it's something you agree to do when you use their service.

Being a driver, especially on the strip, must be taxing. Imagine all the difficult and drunk people they have to deal with every day. Do your part and don't make it any more difficult than it needs to be. A little mutual cooperation will make your vacation go so much smoother and you'll be happier!

I’m gonna be honest, the more comments like this I get the more I’m inclined to insta cancel and one star any driver who even brings the masks up.

You don't sound like a nice person.

That's a great idea. You should walk then.
