- wow. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 25, 14:17
- I'm amazed he still works there -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:15 2
  - well, he started while the owners were all away, they all came back yesterday. so they haven't really seen him in action. yet. -- nm - Andie Oct 25, 14:16 1
    - haha. He's not long for this job, I figure -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:16
- my jaw just dropped. seriously. -- nm - Diva Oct 25, 14:10 21
  - right? he's going to get fired. the owners )who are bajillionaires) have no use for that sort of attitude and would never act like that themselves. -- nm - Andie Oct 25, 14:12 19
    - What is he, American? -- nm - CovingtonCat Oct 25, 14:17 4
      - I think "under 30" probably explains it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:19 2
        
        Hey now. -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 14:22 1

    - Can you tell I never played poker at Caesars? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 14:11
  - circus circus? hookers...I mean hooters, margaritaville...Venetian -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 14:07 3
    - Oh, that's right, Circus Circus is at the tail end of that side before you get to the Strat. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 14:08 2
      - wiki list of vegas strip hotels -- (link) - zeitgeist Oct 25, 14:12

- It's the drunk gambler's tour! -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 14:04 5
  - Now, the other side of the street, I'm lost. There's like 8 hotels in the middle that the only reason I know exist is we passed through them on the - Will Hunting Oct 25, 14:14 4
    - apparently those are fine (or so I am told). the area in question happens to be the one you guys know. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:17
    - or the Monorail! - con_carnage Oct 25, 14:15 2
      - ~Monorail~ -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 14:19 1
        
        ~Mono-- - Homer Oct 25, 14:24

    - gotcha, that is perfect. thank you! -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:09
  - I don't see the Luxor but I could be missing it. That map is a mess. - Mel Profit Oct 25, 14:05 11
    - that's what threw me off. I assumed they were all there. started at the airport and worked my way to the strip -- nm - dogbert Oct 25, 14:11 1
      - right, the whole issue is that they were missing. Developer said he fixed it. I was thinking not. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:12
    - you did mark where ScarJo's clone was stationed right? -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 14:10
    - All 3 of the Excal/Luxor/Mandalay are gone. the only reason i see it is they still have the walkways to the Excalibur on the map -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 14:07 4
      - gotcha. Our developer is in the UK and he has not been there himself, so he couldn't help me. Appreciate everyone's help. - loosilu Oct 25, 14:08 3
        
        It ends just north of the Bellagio....a google map compare will get you there. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 14:09 2
        
        the problem I am having with Google map is that it's 2d, so I don't know which buildings are tall. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:09 1
        
        If they're on the left, the ones with the largest footprint are often tall as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 14:11
    - I know! I just want to throw those mushroom clouds around. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 25, 14:07 1
      - hee! well, those are too big for this level model. I'm using the chemicals, mostly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:07
    - I know. it's an urban model map for releasing the things you see on the icons. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:06

Dumb Domestic Question of the Day: My oven does not appear to have a 'clean' button. - ty97 Oct 25, 13:59 33
- Mine doesn't either. -- nm - kelly Oct 25, 14:02
- Buy some Easy-Off, you lazy bastige. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 14:02 1
  - I still associate Tony Randall as the pitch man for that product -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 14:13
- Maybe, if it's very inexpensive. Check the temperature knob. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:01 4
  - It's digital -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:02 3
    - What's the model and manufacturer? -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:03 2
      - Frigidaire model FGF337ECC -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:05 1
        
        The manual's online. Does't look like it self-cleans, since it gives instructions for hand-cleaning. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:10
- [deleted] 11
  - (I have never heard of this) - con_carnage Oct 25, 14:13 3
    - They hot enough to turn residue into charcoal, which you then wipe off. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:15 2
      - I learned something today - znufrii Oct 25, 14:24
      - Egads! -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 14:22
  - *sigh* The folks who built my condo certainly did seem to go with the cheaper versions of appliances. - ty97 Oct 25, 14:01 6
    - I am not sure if any gas stoves self clean, but I could be wrong. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:02 5
      - Mine does, but I don't wanna see the result on my gas bill after heating it at max temperature for 2 hours - Guigue Oct 25, 14:06 1
        
        this, exactly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:07
      - Sure they do. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:05 1
        
        I stand corrected. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:06
      - ours does, but we've never used it -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 14:03
- *giggles* yes, yes they do. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:00 12
  - Follow-up question: WHY?! -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:00 11
    - I think the cleaning cycle runs the temps up to 900?? so it needs more insulation to keep it from yeah blowing up the building or at least catching it - zeitgeist Oct 25, 14:02 6
      - also, that's a waste of energy. Scrub it! -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:03 5
        
        the problem with scrubbing an oven is that not only do you have get on your knees and bend way over but also from an angle cause the door is there in - zeitgeist Oct 25, 14:06 3
        
        of course, you could avoid it all by cleaning spills right away. ;P -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:10 2
        
        Well, you have to wait until the food's done cooking. And then you have to wait until the oven cools. By that time, it's pretty much cooked on. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:15 1
        
        true, but it's not nearly as bad as letting it accumulate over many times. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:18
        
        I need a wife. -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:05
    - I have a gas oven, I'd imagine it would blow up the building. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:01 3
      - I don't know ho self-cleaning magic works, so have no clue what this means. - ty97 Oct 25, 14:03 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        it runs super duper hot. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:03
