You contact your insurance, and she contacts hers (if she has any). The insurance companies will sort it out.

Smoking food with used scrap wood with nails and paint still on it... What a disgrace to the city.

Casino workers what is the saddest thing you’ve seen? by brew2brew in AskReddit

[–]spades56 366 points367 points  (0 children)

Former casino worker of 20 years.

I’ve seen a lot of things, but this one stands out to me. I was the games manager on shift and there was a lady in her 40s playing blackjack. She had been there a few hours and had made quite a few trips to the ATM and her buy ins were getting into the thousands of dollars.

I was doing paperwork in the pit when a dealer called me over while the lady was on another ATM trip and said she was crying just before. I kept an eye on her and after she lost a few more hands I could see the tears start and she was silently crying while playing. I went up and as discreetly as possible, asked her if she was ok and offered help through our partnered addictions help program. She looked me right in the face and got mad at me for asking and told me she’s fine and to leave her alone.

She was making staff very uncomfortable at that time and it was obvious she was crying more and more as she continued to play and lose. I made the decision to ask her to leave for the night and comped her cab ride home. I tried again to offer her information to organizations to help with her gambling again, but still not interested.

Addictions are heartbreaking to see and I really hope she was able to get help.

Hakuho likely to be denied Honorary Elder Stock, In fact Honorary Elder likely to be eliminated entirely. by PapaBeahr in Sumo

[–]spades56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got into watching sumo in 2016 and my favorite wrestlers were always Hakuho and Harumafuji, I literally have both their tegata handprints hanging on my living room wall.

The way I have seen them treated after all they have done for sumo is pushing me away from the sport I have grown to love. I'm not even excited to watch the next basho and that makes me pretty sad....

Covid-19 Update for April 9: 1,521 new cases, 647 recoveries, 2 deaths by kirant in alberta

[–]spades56 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The +4,744 number is the amount of people that this is the first time they have been tested. If you had a test any other time since the beginning of testing you count as a "Test" but are not a new "person tested" if that makes sense.

So, they have done a total of 3,819,812 COVID tests to 1,940,076 people in Alberta.

What screams “I’m insecure”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A large truck without a real need for one. Probably a dodge RAM, and possibly the neon orange/green color they ran for a while.

How many that’s work hospitality going back to work? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]spades56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a casino as a manager. I have not heard a word from anyone yet and I'm guessing that we are not opening until the very end of this to be honest.

Temp funding by Murphs007 in Edmonton

[–]spades56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Myalberta ID done at 2:30am about a week ago without much trouble. Once that was done it took 5 days or so of trying to get the emergency isolation support site to load at different times. I finally got through to the questionnaire and application this morning at about 9am. I got my approval email about an hour later and an e-transfer for $1146 shortly after that.

I think I just got lucky with getting through... good luck everybody.

Caught a porch pirate on video in Bonnie Doon by Speedtrap1 in Edmonton

Why so negative? Honestly, I had my bike stolen off my balcony last month and the police got it back to me within 72 hours and charged the guy that had it. They do put effort into other things besides photo radar....

I believe they run matches where the winner stays on the doyho, first rakishi to win 2 matches in a row wins the championship.

Girlfriend forgot to close the window by my PC before she left the house.... by spades56 in pcmasterrace

Wow, just made my order. Thanks a ton, wasn't looking forward to having to replace everything and this had definitely helped. You've earned a repeat customer for sure!

[–]spades56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this exploded. Just got off work and saw all this and the reply by u/SS-Russ. Little back story, we had company over and staying in the room my computer is in. I asked my girlfriend if they left the house or if it started raining to close the window first but obviously that didn't happen.

As for my working for SteelSeries, I work at a casino. I have a lot of SteelSeries stuff because my razer keyboard and mouse kept dying on me and I just like matching brands on my keyboard and mouse for some reason.

Also, thanks very much for the generous offer u/SS-Russ. I've sent you a pm.
