Yes, that is the law, but do you know of anyone that worked in the industry that didn’t have this law violated on their paychecks at least once? If there was any meaningful enforcement of this, the shitty managers and owners that plague the industry would be gone for good.

I’m all for tipping well. But the worst part of all of this? It wouldn’t be nearly a thing if the Restuarant Industry lobbyists didn’t pay our elected representatives to keep a separate (and ridiculously low) minimum wage for servers.

The Catholic Church is not, and may never have been, an organization centered on faith, or God, or doing good works. It is a power structure that generates vast sums of money and influence, and those who exist in its positions of power are all indoctrinated. The church comes first, everything else is just grist for…

Whoever organized the US press tour should have taken more time (if they ever took any) to work this out in advance, or perhaps this was their chosen tack, and not all of the cast agreed. No one could have thought it wouldn’t get brought up. Clearly there was no consensus on how to handle that question.

It’s not the activities (sexual and illegal) that disqualify him so much as how bad he is at hiding it and how incapable he is of finding people who can protect him well.

Thanks for checking! Looks like the requirement was fulfilled.

Has this always been the case? Because I thought the same sort of failure and subsequent damage is what caused a DC-10 to lose all hydraulics and crash back in 1989.

IIRC, the same sort of catastrophic engine failure (fan blade disintegrated) took out all of the hydraulics on a DC-10 that crashed in Sioux City about 30 years ago. So agreed, this could have been much worse.

I worked at a video store when this came out. Deadly Prey was quickly added to a list of movies I had, which included Death Before Dishonor, Invasion USA, and pretty much any movie with Michael Dudikoff or Richard Lynch. If I didn’t like you, and you asked me for a good movie to watch that weekend, you got something…

Perfect isn’t the standard, safe is.

FTFY

You have to admit the NRA are good at what they do, which is drive their base into a froth and furor, convinced that some great mass of powerful people are just waiting to pounce on - and annihilate - the poor defenseless second amendment. And take our guns.

Haha yes! When were (fortunately infrequently) required to attend some of these ridiculous, day-long, gargantuan off-site team powwows, I and a couple of others had BS bingo cards, filled with Core Competencies,Vertical Markets and Robust Solutions etc. When we hit bingo we had to say it, which misled a lot of…

You get all the stars today, sir.

When I was in the corporate world, at the beginning of meetings I used to ask “whose deck are we looking at today?” I was not upwardly mobile.

You’re making several assumptions here.

I agree with you that Netflix is getting the lion’s share of criticism in this area, no doubt due to the ubiquity of Netflix’s content in popular culture combined with their ongoing success. It’s like any other company that has zigged and done well, lots of folks want to decry their success as destroying “the good…

I’m not going to speculate on what the general audience thinks, but TCP being shoehorned so sloppily and carelessly into the mythos doesn’t sit well with me. We can reconvene in October and see how we feel when Operation Cloverfield comes out.

The problem with the Cloverfield franchise is less how they are tied together, and more how they function on their own. Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane did not appear to have any connection to each other when I saw them, and I had hope that the series might be joined by a common theme (characters caught up in…

we are taking steps with Waymo to ensure our Lidar and software represents just our good work.
