Where is this common?

I believe you most often see this in scummy tourist traps.

You're probably right. But judging from other comments in sounded like a small note on the front cover of a menu saying 'there will be a flat rate surcharge' would not be adequate.

Obviously, this is a horrible way for me to collect legal advice, but would a fine-print note on a menu fly? (interpret 'fly' however, I'm clearly naïve here.)

Yes. I realize that. I was just trying to add something more than 'this sucks'.

Your 'usual 20%' will fit on the two lines as you see fit.

Very cool. What did you use for a remapper?

While I absolutely hate this, I will note the suggested tip is lower than what is usually asked for.

It would be better to have two tip lines on the receipt; one for front staff, one for back staff.

Edit: I'm just going to put a PS here as people seem to me missing my point (and the first 5 words). I'm not recommending this practice. I was suggesting an improvement on a shitty thing. My initial point is that: I'm honestly surprised that they DIDN'T have the audacity to recommend no less than a 15% tip.

In America, the restaurant would have to post this on the menu. Thus we have fine-print on our menus. God bless the USA.

It's nice to hear the EU doesn't let that crap slide.

Yes

I was just making a joke, but I use xinput to disable my laptop keyboard and put my 60% on top. But I was not seriously recommending you change your keyboard.

I feel a bit like Groucho when it comes to keyboards. If you want my honest advice, I don't trust your judgement.

I certainly did not vote for Netanyahu.

I would like to tell you that everyone on lemmy hates your laptop keyboard. Please get a mechanical one.

I can't tell if you are complaining or just explaining the rules.

While I know that's different from an inflatophiliac, that made me think of Katherine Ryan's story.

Lights on? But you might see something.

Sounds like he had 99 problems and a luftballoon was one.

When I bought a system76, I didn't think for a second to check whether it was on Canonical's list. I didn't even know there was a certification.

So I believe the poster meant, a buyer can be sure they are getting hardware with linux support regardless of a list kept by ubuntu. But if you are buying from a brand that has no pledge to be linux friendly, a list of what works out of what's available helps.

Also, medically unnecessary transvaginal ultrasounds and doctors forced to read scripted lies to scared patients. (just thought I'd fill in some of the etc.)

Also, pregnancy is declared to have begun basically four weeks before the last missed period. So a 15 week ban is really an 11 week ban. And you only get 11 weeks if you are regular and are keeping track.

Now keeping track, in some states, is becoming a legal liability. So these antiabortion measures are just going to cause more oopies. It's just evil for the sake of being controlling.

That's the worst name I've ever heard.

Alt-right playbook

I'm not the person to say anything about zsh vs. fish. I last tried zsh around 2008. Back then I decided to stick with bash over other shells. At the time (and for decades earlier) it was clear that sh was inadequate. So the Bourne Again Shell was (and still is) ubiquitous. Other shells fighting for user space seemed like the xkcd-927 problem.

Now, I'm basically seeing that if I'm stuck without my .bashrc file, installing fish gives me most of the niceties I like. It also gives me niceties that I wouldn't have been able to do, like nice multi-lining. And while I personally find fi and esac charming, they are pretty dumb. And I certainly don't miss the for-do-done construction.

I bet I would like zsh as much as fish, but I don't have any motivation to try it.

fish looks at my path to highlight mistyped commands. It autocompletes on the fly and autocompletes with attention paid to the usage in your history. The coolest thing is that it parses man pages. That allows autocomplete to know the options of a command as long as it has a proper man page (which it just should).

I do most of my scripting in perl too. Python has always irked me.

Only semi-related: I recently switched from bash shell to fish. I should have don't that years ago. Don't know why I held on to bash so tight.
