I figure at 2 am in Vegas, it's the same likelihood either way.

Considering the matter in the cold light of reason, the Sahara is actually a rather inconvenient location for a store

Jim - is he dead yet? @jimj.bsky.social

Speaking of risk management, why were you getting an egg salad sandwich from a convenience store? That's like gas station sushi.

See network engineers have built up an immunity. All those late night maintenance windows and 3am network outage calls and the only place open for food is the gas station.

i’d say it’s less risky than being in the las vegas convention center with 30k ppl for 3 solid days lol

For a city with Vegas' reputation, food options between ~10pm and 9am are shockingly slim. Also, *hotel* convenience store. That does make a difference. They are heavily incentivized to keep the food safe since it's *their* room you'll be puking all over if you get food poisoning.

But was it West or East Sahara? That would guide my egg salad choices at 2am. Only in Las Vegas!

Had a long convo w/ a friend about ATM/Debit vs credit cards, skimmers. and why a credit card beats a pipline to their checking account. The technolog has /so/ passed up the ability of an 'average' person to grasp it and its implications. Had my own credit card skimmed at a Costco a while back.
