In Las Vegas there are actually more Catholic churches than casinos and unsurprisingly, collection plates contain more casino chips than coins. This presents a problem for the churches as the casinos don't accept each other's chips. So, all the chips are collected, sorted and counted at the Las Vegas Franciscan Monastery before being cashed at the correct casino. This job is done by the chip monks.

The new layout is shite.

Is it that much different?

Aye, it requires more scrolling, and doesn't display some images that were displaying perfectly fine yesterday evening.  Just seems more cluttered too.

On the plus side, it's not quite as bad as the Firestick home screen redesign, another example of something fit-for-purpose made worse.

The stories were generally all made up for a laugh. The main purpose of the papers were as advertising sheets for massage parlours and prostitutes and also to advertise phone sex lines. Once the internet became widespread there was no need for these services and the paper died. I think it’s basically just a Twitter account now.

When I worked in an offie years ago, there was an auld boy who'd appear at the end of every Saturday night shift, and would buy a bottle of wine, a copy of the Sport, and one of those wee square boxes of tissues. Big night in.

No, I wasn't seeing myself in the mirror, you bunch of arseholes.

Any news if the shooter(s) is full of holes or in cuffs?

Are you implying that any act involving multiple people dying by gunfire is terrorism? That's a bit of a stretch.

People being told to stay in the house because bullets are being sprayed about killing people. Sounds pretty terrory to me. Of course, when an incident is unfolding, it probably quite difficult to determine motives. Which just makes me wonder why the rush to say its not terrorism (the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims).

Because often post terror attacks there is an increase in racist attacks, of course not when it's a mental white supremacist.

Guy shot his parents and 3 others and he is dead now as well according to local reporter.

I suppose in this sort of scenario it might become apparent quite quickly to the coppers that there is no wider threat/terrorism
