  1. But they are sold with only the right shoe.
  2. Unfortunately true. We can hope it is needed, but there will be both destroyed prior systems and additionally earlier systems that have used up their barrel life based on heavy use. If they are sending these and sending replacement barrels for the ones sent prior then it would be a good sign. Not sure that is the case.
  3. Oh Captain, my Captain!

    Tipping

    I don’t think servers or tip based employees want to do away with tipping for a fixed wage. I was a server in high school and loved walking out with instant cash in my pocket. I also was taxed a flat 12% by the government on my sales (may have changed), and as I earned more in tips than 12% it was also a benefit. Technically you are suppose to track and report actual amount if different….but we didn’t as high school kids. Now that most purchases are credit cards and not cash that may be different as it is tracked more easily. One thing that does suck however is the $2.13 hourly rate. I waited tables in the late 80’s (I’m old), and I was paid $2.01 per hour. So while there has been several increases to base minimum wage, almost none to servers hourly wage. It should have grown at least equally to growth in standard minimum wages. Having said this, I agree on having a request for tip being everywhere? If a counter employee is making minimum wage or higher, you are being paid to do the job that you are now asking for a tip on. If you want to give back the difference between your wage and $2.13/hour and then work for tips, great! But they won’t and don’t. Tip well for employees who are tip/service based employees…especially if they do a good job. Non-Tip based (per minimum wage guide lines) are being paid to do a good job. They should not require additional compensation.
  5. The bolded part has been said by many people, but I believe it is wrong. Well, it is true, but their targeting of civilians and infrastructure is from the Russian play book. They have been doing it all over and most recently if you look at Syria they especially did it there. The intention is first that they don't care about bad publicity or people, they just want to win and get capitulation. So while they target fighters, they also intentionally target Hospitals, schools, civilian living places etc. They do this because while it makes people hate the Russians, what they are working to achieve is a point where people say "I'd rather know my kids are safe and we can get medical care and live with these totalitarian assholes in charge, than worry every day about my kids, parents, medical care etc." If they are attacking your country you may support a fight, but if they attacking your ability to help your kids, family and provide them with basic necessities to live and survive then you may stop resisting, and just admit that while the Russians dominating you is a bad option, but it is better than constant fear and death for kids, families etc.

    Shit My Kid Says

    It's not misdeeds, he just has no idea he is doing this. One of my sons is the same way and he has fairly severe ADHD. It's not that he is doing things that are "mischievous" and trying to get away with them, my son could try to do something and will still leave a trail of evidence because his brain just does not let him track those things...without meds. My son gets it from his Mom. Cabinet doors opened and never shut. Takes plastic wrap off the top of a jar and drop it on counter or floor. Get something out and just leave it wherever it was last used. Eggs on counter after being used and never put away, cooking utensils just left on counter after being used. Frustrating as heck, but it is not intentional. They are just wired so they don't notice. I recommend seeing a psychiatrist and try and get him evaluated for ADHD.
  7. And yet it still tastes better than McDonalds.
  8. So the story has a happy ending.
  9. Thank God the wind always blows in whatever direction a ship is heading in!
  10. We can judge! He's a GOOOD BOY!
  11. Almost like it's Turdition!
  12. You pay them to leave…and also to not shoot you.
  13. Do you even band bro! They need kids who will march to the exact same routine year after year and either play, or pretend to play an instrument. and dog poop doesn’t pick itself up either.
  14. I guess he drove it out the window of a high rise. Horrible accident, but it happens.
  15. So is "move to Belarus" the new Russian euphemism for "swimming with the fishes"?
  16. And an woman behind the wheel.
  17. So in your existence you are getting trains run on you no matter where you are.
  18. And my understanding is his contract was guaranteed, so he should have gotten the bonus….but they used the fake James BS to fire for cause and hence not have to pay. Which was later shown that they knew was BS. Then Tech went down the sovereign immunity path of it doesn’t matter that we violated the contract and law, you can’t sue us unless we let you.
  19. Question for those tracking this who live in the US. I am watching BBC to follow it. Is there a better choice?
  20. So like a dam being destroyed and releasing the reservoirs flood waters? 😁
  21. And declare it a Win!
  22. First, if he's good looking then I assume he favors his mother. Second, see if she can also get dates for his three friends.
  23. It will never be as good as the live action version I am watching now.
  24. Do you know what I did not see a lot of in that video where Wagner says it was attacked by the Russian MOD? Bodies of dead or injured Wagner fighters. I only saw one, which was turned away and could have just been someone laying on the ground. Damage shown, but no people and a few fires that looked like camp fires. But the quote was. "A huge number of our comrades died, we will decide how to respond to this atrocity" - Prigozhin" Almost like the video is part of a false flag, and Wagner prepositioned for whatever goal they had and then released a video for sympathy and justification.
