Re: [vpFREE] Re: Lost item

 

I used chargeback about 2 years ago for some sunglasses I left at Cromwell. They did not locate them. You don't know if the site does a good job or not. Especially with a tablet, the temptation for someone to just pocket it is too great.

I did call the resort (Club du Soleil) directly.  They said they could not transfer me to their security office because no one is there as they are out and about the resort.  I am signed into my Google account on that device, however, it is powered off so the app to locate it can't access it until it's powered up.  Fortunately, I have the power cord for it.  But, of course, someone could easily get another power cord for it.

Apparently, Chargerback.com is a website/provider casinos, resorts, rental car companies, etc. use that is a central database for lost items found at their properties.  There are many resorts in Vegas that use this service.  Again I'm 99% sure that I'm SOL for recovering my tablet but I filed a claim form anyway.  Ugh.

Re: [vpFREE] Lost Item Longshot

 

I have used the website and my charger was returned from ceasars In ac.  It's all up to housekeeping if you forgot it in the room

 Good luck

This is a long shot.  Has anyone successfully gotten their electronic device (i.e. phone or tablet) returned through a website called chargerback.com?  I just returned from 2 weeks in Vegas and left my tablet in a condo resort.  I called them directly and they said if the housekeeping staff found it, it would have been turned into a security place that all the resorts use called chargerback.com.  You have to go to that website and fill out a claim form describing the item in detail and what hotel/resort you left it at and they will contact you.

At this point, I have no hope of getting this returned and am kicking myself that I'll have to be replacing this brand new tablet I bought a month ago.  Just wondering if anyone heard of this website before and got their item back.

[vpFREE] Lost item

 

I would call to security if you haven't already, as well as housekeeping. I never heard of website, but maybe that resort uses it. I have had mixed results on getting items back and most of them theoretically worthless to other people — sweater I love gone, husband's favorite jacket gone (I kept checking for days), almost empty bags found, my jacket found, a bunch of stuff left in a drawer in a room found and shipped to me. Was there a "find my device" type app activated?

Re: [vpFREE] Today’s trip to Vegas casino...and thoughts...

 

Not to defend anyone inappropriately, but I'd be interested to know if indeed it's the government saying that 5-handed poker is ok.

I'd say this one is the sicko need of casinos to still have revenue and of professional poker players to do their daily grinding.  Misplaced priorities.

Re: [vpFREE] Interesting Covid-19 reading.

 


I've come across 2 very interesting pieces recently.

(1) Google "Chines Batwoman" for an excellent article from Scientific American". The following is a salient quote:

"Although the Wuhan outbreak is the sixth one caused by bat-borne viruses in the past 26 years —the other five being Hendra in 1994, Nipah in 1998, SARS in 2002, MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) in 2012, and Ebola in 2014—

The researchers found that the new coronavirus enters human lung cells using a receptor called angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The scientists have since been screening for drugs that can block it.

The final conclusion of this article is that there are literally thousands more viruses out there.

(2) Google "Chinese doctor police letter" for a piece from BBC World News.

The first alert was from an opthamologist, Dr. Li Wenziane on Dec 30 2019.

"Four days later he was summoned to the Public Security Bureau where he was told to sign a letter. In the letter he was accused of "making false comments" that had "severely disturbed the social order".
"We solemnly warn you: If you keep being stubborn, with such impertinence, and continue this illegal activity, you will be brought to justice - is that understood?" Underneath in Dr Li's handwriting is written: "Yes, I do."

For the first few weeks of January officials in Wuhan were insisting that only those who came into contact with infected animals could catch the virus. No guidance was issued to protect doctors.

Dr. Li contacted the virus and died on Feb 6. It appears that the Chinese authorities had a chance to nip this in the bud, but needlessly wasted three weeks before telling the world about it.

Re: [vpFREE] Today’s trip to Vegas casino...and thoughts...

 

It's not political to correct dangerous misinformation. Dr. Fauci said yesterday let's do everything and get criticized for over reaction.  It's our Civic duty!! Measles was eraticated till misinformation made it a problem again. Civil discussion is the heart of a democracy!

There was reportedly a CDC protocol, created when the H1N1 virus was spreading (or soon thereafter) for addressing situations in the future, such as we are now certainly dealing with.  With China starting out by hiding / downplaying its own experience, one could probably legitimately argue either side of the promptness of the response, since the available information was (and to some extent still is) limited, and changing, so that it was probably difficult to know whether the H1N1 protocol should be launched, or when.

I've personally gone from concern about over-reaction to the opposite in the course of a week or so, as things are progressing so rapidly.  My weekly home game poker group voted 8 to 1 to continue playing just a week ago, but today decided to cancel our game until further notice, with no one objecting.

Regardless, I hope everyone takes care of themselves and no one gets sick.  As discussed earlier, the flu remains a more likely risk, and because of the very large number of people it affects, even with much lower mortality, it will likely kill more people than COVID 19.  The precautions being recommended for Coronavirus (and I still don't know how my beer of choice got blamed for this) are also protective against the flu, so we may have some benefit on that disease, regardless.

Re: [vpFREE] Today’s trip to Vegas casino...and thoughts...

 

Also, since you go to play Texas Holdem, I would guess your exposure to others will be more intense than from playing VP -- with the proximity of the other players, and the communal handling of cards and chips.  While I'm not a big fan of them, I've played on the no-live-dealer electronic tables in the past, and one advantage is that you don't handle chips or cards (but you're still in proximity to the other players).  Other advantages, which don't offset my yearning for the social aspects of the game, are more hands per hour, no one can play out of turn, no accidental exposure of cards, auto-posting of blinds (perhaps optional), rapid assignment of the pot to the winner (and even moreso on split pots), and probably others I'm forgetting.  The "social" aspect can still be experienced, if people look up from the screens and talk to each other, but I used to see a lot of players ignoring the others, with headphones and/or reading books.

I may be posting more often than customary for me -- since I seem to have little better to do with my time now that I'm home-bound for the most part :)
