Those Paqui chips have been around for some time now. Be interesting if they actually link it as a cause of death.

Isn't RT score just a yea or nay vote by critics? If so, that's the worst way to look at a review. There is no nuance or context.

That's not the same thing though. You can write a bomb for a popular movie and generate clicks.
Obviously the article is about studios hiring a PR firm to inflate scores for some movies. My assertion is that most movie, music etc. reviews are not being paid for.
That said - my go to for movies is IMDB audience score. For music I'm sometimes interested in what people have had to say but it almost never influences what I actually listen to.
The displayed IMDB ratings score is weighted. Some users are worth more than others. Plenty of room for shenanigans there as well.

i can't believe they didn't take more time and do an actual search to find a good partner for Donnie.
fuck around with one of the shows - sure. you have WIP and that show is fine.
but to do some kind of search and say that yeah, Matt fucking Mclarin was the best choice that fast? what kind of search is that? it isn't like he and Donnie had some longterm prior relationship and had worked together a ton. now, Matt does bring some of that chaotic energy that Dan and Gordo both have for sure but is that really the BEST guy you can find in the country sit next to Donnie? really?
and lol at Peter and anyone acting like a 33% drop month over month is normal and ok for the 1-3 timeframe.
Mclarin holds his own, Donnie is the one who sucks imo. Donnie + anyone is going to suck.

Unless it's a host at this point it doesn't matter. Beyond morning drive and a few Davey comments the station sucks. None of the producers left bring anything to the table.

NM I was reading the wrong line

I'm out beyond habanero. That's as far as I can go and still discern some sort of flavor. After that your body goes into survival mode reacting to a poison.

I think Ewers is a good QB and that Sark is a good coach. The problem is that Ewers can't throw a deep ball and Sark can't stop calling for deep balls.
Just stop chasing the fucking dragon and call plays that work.
An immobile QB that can’t throw deep is not a good QB

TCU lost to Colorado. Baylor lost to Texas State. TTU lost to Wyoming. College football is really any given Saturday. Take the win and reset for Bama.

He makes throws almost no one can make. He also takes way too long to go through progressions and makes lazy throws that don’t work at this level
Throws no one else can make? Yeah those 8 yard passes are a thing of beauty.

Hook’em!!!If Quinn had Travis Hunter to throw to he would have looked much better. Oh, and also against the pathetic froggy defense...Gare isn't in FW anymore.
The receivers were open he couldn’t hit them

Gus - “they said Dion Sanders didn’t know what he was doing!”
Nobody said that lol they were the worst team in NCAA ripping the roster to pieces was the only move.
Maybe he was referring to the Sanders thread on Surly

You can't unlearn that shit. First they take my math, and now they are coming for my extra space? This world is such bullshit.

It's a mixture of this stadium is brand new and still has that new car smell, and this stadium is salt of the earth and how God intended football to be played, and this team is really good so gameday is awesome because everyone is happy.

Hopefully not more of that cumulus pay bullshit, and how Gordon supposed to be Robin Hood to all the Ticket spares.

My son is very excited about this because he loves the game, and I'm having a hard time figuring out if this will be anything approaching kid-appropriate. Rotten Tomatoes says it's PG-13, but it also says "strong violent content." They need to pick a lane.

One huge thing in taking away tipping and baking it in to prices is that it will incentivize restaurants to understaff since they are paying the full freight, so they will not want to pay servers $25/hour to stand around.
Also, servers will really not want to work the busy times or Friday and Saturday nights. Now the benefit of those is you make more. If I can get $25/hr to lose my weekend and bust my ass or $25/hr to work a table or two on a Wed afternoon, why would I possibly take option 1?It will be in the restaurants best interest to staff efficiently. The "easy shifts" shouldn't be easy because the restaurant should be staffed accordingly. So overall it's slow, but there is less staff so you are covering more tables. And the busy times would see more waitstaff. That's obviously something they would have to learn.

I think a poster here had said they would get multiple glasses of wine for free and just tip the waiter 20 or 50 bucks. That's not ok to me. That is theft.
It's textbook theft. I've seen enough bar rescue to know that it's a common move in poorly ran establishments, but any cash transaction can be pocketed if the business is poorly managed.

Maybe not in a restaurant, but every friend I've ever known who tended bar would pour beers for no charge for certain regulars and then get the cash tip in the jar on each of those pours. Those aren't recorded sales.
Yeah but that's stealing from the bar. What does theft have to do with tip culture? People in any industry can steal from their place of work.

Be honest...the main reason most servers would lose money if they raised pay and did away with tips is they wouldn't be able to dodge taxes on those cash tips.
I don't remember who but someone posted a while back that waiters are taxed on a % of sales, so the government is factoring in cash tips. You'd only be pocketing the cash that was over whatever that % is. Not that any of it matters much in a cashless society.
-
I'm fine with waitstaff making whatever it takes to end tipping. I'd rather just pay the bill of 125 and no tip, than 100 plus a 25 tip. All tipping does is allow for cheapskates to snub waitstaff or shitty managers to screw them over.

What can I do with a bunch of ghost peppers?
in Food and Travel

All the new hybrid peppers were created with the purpose of setting Scoville records. Before then something like a habanero was probably about as hot as you could find in nature. Now these new hybrid peppers make a habanero seem like child's play, and habaneros will fuck up the average joe. The sadist that eat shit like reapers and ghost peppers would give the cenobites a run for their money.
