Wanna take a guess what happens when I'm forced to determine the tip before the transaction is complete and I have my food in hand? It will be zero.
Yep. Was forced to "pre-tip" when ordering a pizza last winter because the restaurant wouldn't allow pay-at-the-door. They subcontracted my delivery out to door dash without my knowledge or consent. The bastards dropped it on my front porch in 20 degree weather without ringing the doorbell. No email from the restaurant. No text. I don't have a door dash account, so no notification of any kind. It sat out there for 15 minutes before I noticed because it was overdue. It was ice cold. That was the last time that restaurant got a penny from me.
I don't use any delivery services like uber eats or door dash and I don't *EVER* order delivery for any pizza anywhere now. I either pick it up myself or do without.
Tipping expectations are beyond crazy these days. I refuse to tip when I stand at a counter to order my food and clear my own table after eating. If tipping for that is your expectation, you need to adjust it or I will spend my money elsewhere. If you want a tip, you better be bringing the food to me and keeping my drink filled.
The headlining claims are that Quilter's AI facilitated the design of a new Linux SBC, using 843 parts and dual-PCBs
Either the builder or the writer does not know what a single board computer is or how dual PCBs does not qualify. Hint: The B in PCB stands for board.
I was able to wave my arms at the driver approaching motioning him to stop, which he did.
There are areas I drive through that if you stood on the side of the street and waved your hands, I would stomp on the gas and get out as fast as possible. You could be breakdancing on the sidewalk and I wouldn't stop.
My neighborhood? Sure. Your neighborhood? It depends.
Apple support staff were unable to assist her
No. There is always something which can be done. There is ALWAYS a process for handling exceptions. Apple support staff were unwilling to assist her. The management in the support team is also part of the support staff, although they probably think they're above it.
OhMyGod. Apple wasn't willing to take the word of one party to strip the rights of a different party. Tar and feather them.
This is the domain of a court order, not the word of a disgruntled, divorced parent. Your eager sympathy for one unique case endangers the rights of everyone else who might be in an opposite circumstance. Let a judge decide, not some warm body in a chair answering tech support phones *AND* certainly not armchair quarterbacks either
quit screwing with me. hydrogen (1) dioxide (2) is one hydrogen atom, with two oxygen atoms. What is your H2O2 Thing about? I feel bad about you being a heathen. I wish we could all get together, and agree on stuff, but I stick to facts, and not alternate facts.
And by the way, Einstein, Water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen. Hence H2O, not HO2.
Meanwhile do illegal challenges to voter registrations and voter signatures that require people to drive down to the courthouse on a work day and prove they are who they are in person.
Waitaminit. For decades, liberals have been saying that voting was the mostest importantest right evuh. It's far too important to even ask racist questions, like "Are you a US citizen?" before voting. Now you're telling me that it's not important enough to to validate your identity when your signature doesn't match? Maybe we could do, like, in person voting all on the same day and show an ID at the same time so these kinds of problems wouldn't crop up. Naaaah. it'd never work. Otherwise, other countries would have done it.
Hydrogen Dioxide is water. I thought I would mention that for the Trump supporters, and the vaccine deniers
Thank you for the clearing that up. I see your chemistry knowledge is as comprehensive as your political education. I was totally unaware that H2O2 is water. I always thought that was H2O. All you knowledgeable liberals should make sure to keep pointing out those facts to us uneducated heathens.
Obama's nationalization of student loans has increased the ratio of administrators by 10x by guaranteeing tuition without regard for value.
Boy would I like to see a citation for that bit of wisdom. You werent just completely making shit up, right?
No he's not. I've worked in higher education for several decades. When I first came here, the administrative wing was one side of one floor of one building. Now they have an entire building, filling three floors and are discussing taking over the basement and kicking out the department there. That doesn't even count the administrative departments for marketing, enrollment management, retention, advising and campus life that fills half the student union. Most of that didn't exist back then. Our enrollment is about 20% higher, at around 12,000, than it was when I first started.
IBM poured a ton of money into Linux as did Red Hat and various others. We're happy to let foreigners lead and thrive.
They also poured money into Lennart Poettering which cancels out Linus on the scoreboard.
The wealthy aren't the problem with inflation. Giving money to them (or not taxing it away from them, same thing)
Wow. Just wow. Giving someone money or not taking earned money away from them are the same thing? Karl Marx would be proud of you. I think you mean, the economic effect is the same. Calling them equivalent is the moral argument that the socialists have been pushing forever where "rich" is anyone with more money that the socialist.
Cutting checks to people on the street, that's inflationary because they spend the money on goods. Improving people's standard of living has little to do with giving them money. You need more goods, which then become relatively cheaper within the existing money supply because of the lack of scarcity. That means producing said goods, whether we're talking about consumer stuff or housing.
Tolerating scarcity is the main issue with standard of living, at least in the US.
This we can agree on. This is why I fully support the government assistance class being required to make a work effort. This increases productivity and means more goods and services. Too many liberals think that free government handouts work like a kid's allowance with no economic or social downside. This is how we end up with perpetual generational poverty and eternal government dependence.
