Min Wage Increase Doesn't Impact Employement
Scheduling was the reasoning Taco Deli closed at 2. Most staff worked a 6-8 hour shift so it made scheduling easy. At the time they said it was that dead time between lunch and dinner which made adding a second shift unprofitable but during COVID they started dinner service and have kept it.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
It's like the guy in Pompeii who decided to squeeze a last one off in the face of hot molten death. If you're gonna die, you might as well have fun while doing it.

Neighborhoods to rent (summer)
Why do you need a large house for just a couple? Are you hosting orgies on the weekend?

C-Man's Tahoe is about to give up the ghost -- let's talk replacement vehicles!
I was a first day order of the Bronco. I got rid of it last year because the interior would not drop below 90 degrees when it was 100+ outside. It was just miserable. I traded it in for a ‘24 4Runner and have zero regrets. I’ll drive this thing for 10+ years easily.

Worst concert/live show that you attended
Filter at the original Emo’s back when their first album came out. They played one song, got pissed at something, and left the stage for good.

I really liked this. It’s not built for a modern audience with it being a slow burn but tension is through the roof at all times.

No idea but a few of the Indian entries in our chili cook off were off the chain.

Min Wage Increase Doesn't Impact Employement
A minimum wage above poverty level for a family of 4 should also include a minimum number of hours. Or, maybe set the hourly rate based on 30 hours per week so those part time workers can survive on their own. There are 6.4MM working poor (workers who still qualify for benefits). The average benefit is around $500/month. Take those workers off the government teat by paying a living wage and the gubment saves $3.2B annually while increasing revenue via income taxes. The savings along is probably north of $4B if you include processing and operations costs.

At my current employer, I wouldn't be shocked if we have 100 H1B visas out of 500 employees in Austin. It's probably higher. At my business line's holiday lunch there were about 50 people there and only 4 of us that are for sure US citizens.

4 of my 5 direct reports are on H1B Visas. Not saying I would be fucked but I would be fucked.

Chicken Fried Steak
There was a place in Austin that had a Mexican CFS in the early 90s. Maybe I’ll remember where later.

I have tickets for Thursday. Eggers may be the only new director out there worth a shit.

Hey Griswold, where you gonna put a tree that big?
For the first time ever yesterday, I finally noticed the line is actually “the shitter was full”. I’ve never heard anyone quote it like that. Mandela Effect.

PayPal (Honey) in trouble?
For the capital one add in, after you install it, you do nothing. If you are on Amazon or another retailer and add something to your cart, it’ll pop up and tell you if it’s cheaper (including shipping) or if there is cash back to buy through their app instead.

PayPal (Honey) in trouble?
The best one of these is the Capital One shopping app. I don’t understand the deals it gives. By using the browser extension to buy something, it’s usually 10+% cash back. i used it last week to get 30% cash back from one online retailer. They’re not marking up the prices so I guess their data shows most people don’t pay off their credit cards so even at 30% cash back, they still make money.

Why do you need a marketing guy? I thought Fleshlights sold themselves.

- Surly kids who can't get into UT
We went to a Mines luncheon for prospective students a while back. I love watching, from a distance, how my kids interact with peers. Everyone says she has a magnetic personality but to her parents, she just mumbles and rolls her eyes. She was just talking and all the other girls at her table were just mesmerized. They just wanted to know more about her. I told her she could start a cult at Mines and all those nerds would jump off a cliff if asked.- Surly kids who can't get into UT
I plan to go just ti have an excuse to go to The Alchemist brewery and have a Heady Topper straight from the teat.- Surly kids who can't get into UT
Colorado is #1 but she’s open to WA, OR, and VT. She’s been accepted to WSU, OSU, and now UVM. - Texas -- a failed state
