    Slot Machines in Las Vegas

    LOL yeah people go from property to property trying to find “loose” slots - that’s basically a thing now, especially with locals hitting a few casinos just hopping machines and comps instead of tables.

    BMO Bank getting out of car loan business

    The indirect auto loan space has been getting tougher in general, especially with higher borrowing costs and more pressure on consumers. When credit losses start climbing, that business stops looking so attractive pretty fast. BMO basically said they want to focus on areas where they’re stronger...

    The Magnet string game

    Lol this magnet string game Actually is kinda fun once you get the hang of it - quick rounds, simple rules, and the “don’t touch the magnets with your hands” part makes it hilarious when someone inevitably botches their turn. Basically you’re just trying to off-load your magnets into the loop...

    How much money do NFL team physicians make?

    I’d bet the NFL team physician “salary” is all over the place because it’s not like a normal W2 job where the team just cuts a big paycheck.

    Saturday sandwich recommendation you can make at home- New Orleans Italian game day sandwich

    If you’re doing the New Orleans Italian / muffaletta style at home, the olive salad is basically the whole game. I like making it ahead and letting it sit in the fridge so it mellows out and soaks into the bread a bit. For the stack: simple Italian meats + provolone, and don’t be shy with the...

    How much $ for a graduation present these days?

    If you’re super close, helping with something useful (like a laptop, travel or college stuff) can matter more than just the amount, and people mix cash + small gifts too!

    How much $ for a graduation present these days?

    When I graduated years ago it was like… you’d get a card and maybe $20-$50 and you were thrilled. Now? Kids get out of school and the first thing they’re looking at is phone upgrades, a laptop, car insurance, dorm stuff, etc. It’s like graduation is the starting line, not the finish.

    Roku Express 4k - Signed out youtube not keeping watch history.

    Pretty sure the history thing has nothing to do with the Roku itself - YouTube only saves watch history when you’re actually signed into your Google/YouTube account. If you’re watching signed out, there’s nothing to save on their side, so Roku won’t magically keep track of it for you.

    Computer games that use the Internet

    Definitely a lot of great options out there for online games. Games like Fortnite and Apex Legends are super popular right now and keep evolving with new updates. They use the internet for matchmaking and keeping up with constant game changes, so it’s always fresh. I also really like how games...

    Gambling with non-OEM brake pads?

    OEM friction can feel like overkill on a lot of everyday cars, and a lot of folks don’t ever notice problems running good‑quality aftermarket pads. If you’re just driving 90% city/highway at normal speeds, many aftermarket compounds will stop you confidently and last a reasonable amount of time.

    Las Vegas tourism seems to be in deep trouble

    The cost vs. experience just doesn’t add up for a lot of people right now. Parking, lines, and upsold perks have turned what used to be a straightforward family day out into something that feels like a money grab. When you’re paying $50+ just to park, waiting for shuttles or hours in line, and...

    Gambling with non-OEM brake pads?

    Been lurking this thread and honestly I don’t think using non‑OEM is “gambling” if you pick a decent brand. Plenty of folks here say Duralast/Napa, Bosch Quietcast, Akebono, etc. have worked fine for daily driving without weird issues.

    Las Vegas tourism seems to be in deep trouble

    I’ve been following the latest numbers and, yeah, Vegas isn’t exactly booming right now. Visitor counts are down noticeably compared to last year - October was something like 4‑5% fewer visitors, and September was even worse with around an 8‑9% drop year‑over‑year.

    The gambler who beat roulette

    The bigger takeaway is that casinos do adapt. The article mentions wheel changes, tighter tolerances, removing biased equipment. So even if someone found a working method, the window gets shut pretty fast.
