One time a coworker asked me and another friend to go to the casino with her, her mom and her boyfriend after work and me and my friend said yes. We arrive and when we walk in we are told "if you sign up for our players card you get 20 dollars preloaded for free"... What the hell why not, free 20 dollars. Everyone besides me and my friend had one already so we said we'll meet you inside once we get the card.

So we go to the counter and fill out their one page form, take maybe 10 minutes being generous. We get the card and go to walk onto the floor, keep in mind this place only had machine games, no tables or anything and my coworker is walking out with her family. "what's up? I thought you were playing." she responds "nah, we are leaving, we already lost $1500"

Somehow they lost $500 each in under 10 minutes... I still don't know how.

I did mine like 4 years ago now, thermostat, drum roller, belt and bearings were like $20 total and took about 2 hours, ran wonderfully ever since

Fun fact python was named after Monty python, not the snake.

I moved to Texas for a job. I decided to try what a burger. The buns were stale and the burger was greasy. The mix of the two resulted in a taste like instant mash potatoes that weren't cooked right... I threw out 3/4 of the burger and found another place to eat.

Still haven't been back because yuck...

Reminds me of a time several years ago when I went to pick up the kid from a new day care. I walked up to the desk and said "hi, I'm here to pick up a kid" and the woman behind the counter said "no problem, what's the kids name?". Her face went pale and she panicked when I responded "it doesn't matter, I'm not picky"...

To verify your stud detector works you must point it to your self, make a beeping sound, turn to your significant other and tell them "I'm a stud"

I know it's hard to get a hotel room in dragon con but just once I want some one to happen to have a business meeting. They book a hotel room and are just utterly confused about all the other guests....

Yeah, it wouldn't be bad if it was done correctly (a little slack and a service loop) but they did everything super tight. What makes it worse is a bad cable is often an intermittent issue and we are a low volume high profit company who can not retest so every time a cable goes bad it's typically several thousand in lost product.

See cable management is great when done correctly. At my job we had a audit complaint that there were too many wires on the ground which would make it difficult to clean under them. Management told all the techs to do cable management so the wires were not dangling. The techs did as told so now we keep getting wires failing because they are super tight and strained. No one mentioned a service loop or anything of the sort. In addition now it takes like 2 hours to replace the bad wire because you have to undo all the wire management, replace the wire and redo all 400 Ip ties.

You have to be careful if there are any 3s though... Sometimes you can't see the threes because of the fouriest....
