"We want to charge you more, but we want to make sure you blame our wait staff for it."

I wouldn't be surprised if the QR code sends you to a website bitching about "the current administration".

This isn't an auto-grat situation though. This is the restaurant increasing their prices by 18%, then blaming it on the staff.

By not tipping, you're just punishing the wait staff for the restaurant's shitty behavior. Better to tip normally, then tell the restaurant you won't be back until they get their heads out of their asses.

This is Mac for me. 14 things I can click on the left of the file explorer that show me the same exact files... sometimes in a different order.

Was talking to a guy at work about upcoming holidays off, and he launches into: "Why do we have a Martin Luther King day anyways?!". Nope.

I splurged a few years back on a Brother Color Laser. So worth it. I just send photos to CVS or Snapfish for printing.

Definately. ChatGPT for coding help, and learning new coding topics. And Gamma for presentations - if only for the nice formatting of content and stock imagery.

Incompetent engineer arrives to work late, botches an experiment, and ends up ripping a hole in the universe to a world full of "creatures". He then mercilessly murders the scared creatures while sabotaging efforts by security forces, and an elderly man in a suit, to resolve the situation.

But I enjoy picturing a guy in a lab coat surrounded by bubbling beakers and tubes - with his head in his hands - questioning his life's work, and screaming "What the fuck sun!? God damn it!"

From the US DOT "FlyRights" page (which is woefully inadequate):

Some flights are delayed on the airport "tarmac" before taking off or after landing. DOT rules prohibit most U.S. airlines from allowing a domestic flight to remain on the tarmac for more than three hours unless:

• the pilot determines that there is a safety or security reason why the aircraft cannot taxi to the gate and deplane its passengers, or
• Air traffic control advises the pilot that taxiing to the gate (or to another location where passengers can be deplaned) would significantly disrupt airport operations.

U.S. airlines operating international flights to or from most U.S.airports must each establish and comply with their own limit on the length of tarmac delays on those flights. On both domestic and international flights, U.S. airlines must provide passengers with food and water no later than two hours after the tarmac delay begins. While the aircraft remains on the tarmac lavatories must remain operable and medical attention must be available if needed.

My attic used to have 2 light bulbs with pull chains on them. Going up there was always a battle to feel around and find the string to the light. And it was barely lit even then.

I bought these 2 led bar lights from Costco that are motion sensing. They are super bright. Now, as soon as I pull down the attic stairs, the attic lights up like the sun. I've had many compliments on them from workers coming over for pest control or ac maintenance.

It seems very purposefully positioned, but shoddy work. I'm wondering if it was to brace up a sag in the roofline. In other words, removing it might cause you a problem even if the whole roof doesn't collapse. Seems like it would be safe to move it to the other side of the lighter beam, or right up against it. I would put one on the other side of the opening as well so as not to recreate whatever original problem that was trying to fix.

Might be caused by sediment in your hot water heater (assuming you are using a tank water heater). If you're not familiar, there are tons of articles out there on how to clean it out.

A secondary concern is that you seem to have hot water moving through the system when you don't expect it. Do you have any water circulators on the house on faucets (so you get instant hot water at faucets?). That could explain it. Otherwise, you might have a leak somewhere.

Ford Mustang. Literally never been near one on the road that wasn't revving the engine, tailgating people, and driving like a maniac.
