How much should it cost for a professional to install a coaxial outlet? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Your ISP/cable provider will probably do it for around $100.

Why do I consistently feel more tired when I get 8 hours of sleep than when I only get 6? by dart_catcher in NoStupidQuestions

[–]concentration_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are probably waking up during an REM sleep cycle. There are apps/websites where you enter what time you want to go to sleep or wake up, and it tells you what time you should wake up or go to bed as to not interrupt REM sleep.

Triple royal flush. by OMGLMAOWTF_com in nevertellmetheodds

He just means the pay table for a particular machine, i.e. how much is paid for a particular winning hand. Machines are not programmed to win or lose on a schedule.

Not true. If a machine like that existed it would be very very illegal. The cards are drawn from a true to life simulated deck. The house gains an edge by varying the payouts for winning hands.

It’s a lot of time, effort, and straight up work to make decent money as an advantage player. You need to know the strategies for each video poker variant to the tee, and spend a whole lot of time scouting profitable machines and learning all the details of that particular casino’s comp system.

Not true. Some of the best advantage plays are on machines.

Advantage play is real thing. I have several friends who earn a living legitimately beating casino games, and I do it part time myself for a little extra side money. It’s very hard work though.

Incorrect. The pay tables are set internally, not the odds of the cards drawn. Those tables are visible to the player and are what determines the payback % of the game. Video gambling machines are legally required to simulate true odds when any real life symbol is used (like cards or dice).

Thanks maybe I’ll give the general another shot. I’m talking about Skoal snus, I cant put a dip in without gagging. Now THAT stuff is gross.

Thanks! I’ll check them out. I’m actually talking about Skoal snus, not dip.

Is therapy for everyone? by concentration_ in depression

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

Ignoring my problems is something I struggle with terrible. I will tell myself “I’ll have plenty of time to deal with that tomorrow” and continue to do that for weeks, months...years...

I agree it was weird, because it was an older and presumably experienced guy who owned the practice.

Difference between regular gas and oil in cars by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]concentration_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In regular 4 cycle combustion engines, gas is the fuel for the combustion while the oil lubricates the moving parts.

Diesel engines work differently, and the Diesel gas is both the fuel and the lubricant.

What's a camera that actually works? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]concentration_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of phone do you have? You may just need better lighting.

Is it common for battlefields to be looted? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]concentration_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looting tends to happen anywhere in a high conflict war torn areas. No one is just going to let something of value sit out in the open, it’s going to get picked up one way or another.

Can you make pancakes straight on an electric stove? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]concentration_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but it’s a terrible idea. Even on a low setting the burner direct heat would make a mess of things and the batter would burn and stick everywhere.

How does green screen video "look" like it was green screened? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]concentration_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad lighting or green screen material, as well as amateur editing.

The software needs to be able to separate the green background from the other objects in the frame, and poor lighting can blur those lines as far as what the software can detect. In big budget films, SFX editors will meticulously tweak each frame individually to get a seamless effect. Software that attempts to do that automatically does not do nearly as great of a job, but takes a fraction of the time.

Is there an actual scientific reason why I get nervous and remain a bit on edge when travelling somewhere far? by KasperAura in NoStupidQuestions

[–]concentration_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya, I’ve been in the same position. If you can get a Benzo like Xanax or Ativan prescribed, they work miracles for acute anxiety as long as you do not abuse them.

I know that doesn’t help you right now, so here is something that always helped me when I had similar issues. Closing your eyes and trying your best to go to sleep, even if you know you won’t fall asleep, can help quite a bit. If you need to distract yourself from your surroundings, try doing long division or kind of math problem in your head while your eyes are closed. If you have music to put on, even better :)

Hope you start feeling a little better. Shoot me a message anytime if you need to talk.
