I know enough when some birds are upset. Crows are usually the most vocal. I'll try the test later but it's funny how well we humans with practice know. Except pigeons they are stoic. My cat was sitting quietly one day and crows m

Just say you're Ophiuchus that really sets them off. It's a removed sign from the zodiac. If it's so accurate how can an entire sign be removed. Although I'm sure they'll have a ready-made excuse.

Blackjack is also the most profitable table game in the house (ignoring slots for overall profit). For Texas Hold Em profit is basically just the rake (depends on the pot) and how fast a dealer deals and how fast players will play. Those ca

People just like playing slots. We had a crowd who just liked to spend lots and they won lots too since higher denominations had a higher payback compared to lower denomination. Usually 88% for penny slots but $1, $5, $10 (per line played m

I think it's pretty amazing to be 57 and expecting a child. I'd be thrilled. I'm 54 no kids and I wish I could have great relationship with a woman that is so good we had a child. Seeing how sick he was and sterility is a pos

I worked in a small casino. The cockiest players were the Hold Em poker players. Most were in their 20s. They saw it as a skill not gambling and certainly not an addiction at least any I spoke to didnt. The slots players were never satified

> I think smell is way less impactful than sight or sound I hate to be a downer but smell is incredibly powerful. Vivid memories can rush back from a smell. Food is probably 90% smell and 10% taste.

The lack of mentioning daytime in the article had me worried. Also there is no flying in an aerodrome and hopefully the person knows what an aerodrome is. Or near hospitals since many are restricted for helicopter air ambulances. Or anywher

Same here in Canada. I'm single and making more than I even have but it seems most of it has been eaten away by inflation. I can't image how someone making minimum wage ($14.50/hour here) and most likely part-time is survivin

A REIT is the worst. One in my town is demanding a 20% rent increase. And also asking for tax breaks. Half the tenants will have to move and their tax money is going to the company forcing them out. The people in the building are in well pa

It's not too bad although the resolution is pretty low at 256x192 but it is 25Hz. Export restrictions fro anyone outside the USA (I'm in Canada) limit refresh to less than 9Hz if the resolution is over 640x480.

Elon didn't back out of the fight his Mom told him to cut it out. Really. I'm no Elon fan but it's pretty funny and good that his Mom has some common-sense. In a way they are in a cage match only it's Threads vs Twitter.

No I mean I had heartburn sometimes but who hasn't but really I didn't think it was unusually bad. Of all my symptoms the one that should have stood out was coughing. Acid splashes up and gets into your airway and you cough. There
