I guess heart attacks come in various flavors and people react to them in different ways. Mom had to have surgery to clean out an artery and during the surgery a cardiologist had to be called in. The long and the short of it was that mom's heart was damaged before the surgery. Nobody picked up on th...

I didn't know they could force someone to incorporate? I didn't understand all the legalities, and I think you are right. They gave me the option to incorporate. We were the only ones involved at that time, so that we were the entire voting population. LOL If I chose not to incorporate, then the vi...

I bought the property for my last house many years before I actually built the house on it. The guy in back of me worked at Motorola and mentioned at lunch that he was dividing his property and putting it on the market. I had my bid in before the real estate office could even publish that it was for...

I don't know for certain what you have for a necklace, but it apparently is exactly the right thing for you. I've only heard one criticism about those medical alert systems, and it was from an EMS person. They agreed it was a great thing to have but many people get into situations where they can't e...

The "black box" generates a random number value. That random value is then translated into a payout amount. Thus, in essence, the black box determines a cash payout value in slot machines, or an in game it's a value consistent with whatever the game scoring is based on. I suppose there cou...

Wow, I didn't think there was a space that huge anywhere in Chicago, perhaps out in the suburbs. That is a correct observation. My home was built almost on the border of Cook County which includes the entire city of Chicago and a few adjacent suburbs. My home was as far away from the city as it cou...

It would be close to 35 years ago now that I built that last house up in a Chicago suburb. I was the first one on a five acre piece of overgrown prairie, complete with a small wetland et. al.. I had only one acre of that parcel and two years later all the rest was taken up by individual residents. O...

I certainly don't know much about mechanical gambling machines, but it is easy for me to understand how their electronic replacements might work. There are standards for generating random numbers, or as you would say pseudo-random numbers, but it's hard for me to imagine how or why the government wo...

Thanks for the information, Juan. That hand held holder looks like the perfect tool for that small diameter drill bit. PC board work also seems like an ideal application for such a small tool in that those boards usually are fiber glass or some kind of resin base material. A thin drill would not hav...

I've been told a couple times that blackjack is about the fairest form of gamble if real, not electronic, cards are played. The dealer has a small statistical edge, but a clever player can indeed come out ahead most of the time. Fortunately for the casinos, there are only a few clever players. Any e...

The closest small grocery store is around two miles away, and that is on the outskirts of town. The real stores begin to populate Main Street about four miles from here. I'd not want to be using a wheel chair down Highway P to get to the closest store either. The good news is that several of the sto...

The mechanic being a friend of the family explains a lot. LOL The timing of the breakdown is uncanny. Then to have the new replacement break shortly after is almost too extreme to consider it a coincident. I'm thinking you might find the services of an exorcist worth the price about now. :grin: Well...

There are professional gamblers who actually make a living from it. Those people are well versed in their special form of gambling, such as poker players. They know the odds and something about human psychology so that the pros tend to beat the odds because their opponents are not so clever. Somethi...

I can understand losing all your gambling money. You lost it bit by bit and not all at one time, unless you are very inexperienced. Each time you bet the house gets a share of the total. As your total cash decreases the house gets a lesser dollar amount, but the same percentage. And, as you have pro...

As the saying goes, "when it rains it pours." Deb sure is getting her share of rain with that car. It doesn't happen too often but, yes, brand new parts can be defective. It's just unfortunate that your wife was the one to discover that truth at the most inopportune time. I have to give ku...

I'm deeply concerned about your difficulties today. I truly hope this evil day is temporary. I can also sympathize with your concern's about Deb's well being. There is no doubt in my mind that she is doing all she can, or all that you allow her to do. But, as you know so well, people our age have li...

If casinos make "a lot" of money it's due to the fact that the patrons are spending a lot. The profit in a casino is derived from a percentage of the amount people spend placing bets. That percentage can vary but people are not stupid. Not even gamblers. If the payout isn't reasonable, the...

All gambling establishments need to make a profit in order to stay in business. That is the main reason the games are rigged. That doesn't deny the player a chance of winning big, but then you can also win big in the Power Ball Lottery if you buy enough tickets. It used to all be mechanical with slo...

You keep confusing Android and iOS with Linux. All three are different animals. A clear example of the differences would be to compare your truly Linux based Silver Yogi to what you see and do on Android and Apple devices. Android and Apple have some visible similarities, but neither look like the D...

The article is worth reading but the joke is clearly stated in the headline: https://linuxiac.com/linux-hits-3-percent-market-share/ Pardon me for my arrogance, but I find that article truly hilarious. 30 years to capture a whopping 3% of market share ! :lol: :banana: :laughat: :lmao1: :lmao3: :lmao2:
