I was looking at this is the other day. I’m sure they have others too.

I like the idea of this and not just for assaults. I live alone and wonder what would happen if I ever had a “fallen and can’t get up” incident. If I had a medical emergency that made it difficult to reach or dial my phone, maybe I could use this to alert family/neighbors.

I worry that someone will overpower me and use the cat gouging thing against me.

Cover ourselves head to toe with what? Barb wire?

Are you saying she could hide stuff in her hijab? We don’t see her in the video, but the hijabs I normally encounter aren’t really bulky. It would be easier to hide things in baggy clothes, a purse, or a stroller.

First off, this is crap. At least Zara acted swiftly.

I think they just threw a little dry shampoo at it, he still looks ehhh.

She looks pretty generic there. You might be more familiar with her looking closer to this.

Non-refundable isn’t always non-refundable.

That’s Carey Mulligan. There’s some buzz about her performance in Suffragette. She’s actually a very good actress, but I’ve seen mixed reviews about the movie.

To be fair, my close friends and I might be particularly anal. We’re also the type to decline offers to treat us. We also work with numbers. (You’re likely to find HP12c calculators on or near us.)

Yeah, I’m all for better parental/family leave, but this article is emotionally manipulative without having much ground, since those policies would not have necessarily prevented this tragedy. It would have been a more convincing argument to say that this illustrates the need checking the qualifications of your…

I’ve made some super bad decisions while drunk, despite having alternatives at hand. One time, I was blind drunk doing tequila shots and popped a lemon into my mouth that someone had already used. I proceeded to work through half the discard bowl without even noticing. :/ I would imagine that all kinds of bad stuff…

I’m all for a new supernatural show, especially one with a strong female protagonist, but Stephanie Meyer’s involvement doesn’t make me optimistic about this project. Also, I tried reading The Rook and couldn’t get past the first quarter of it.

[quote]Any good server that blames their bad tips on their appearance, race or the “social customs of the diner” has, in my opinion, made a poor choice about where they work.[/quote]

[quote]As a server, I am guaranteed $2.83/hr. That is categorically terrible. How much else a server makes is completely up to them, their skill and their decision making....[/quote]

Hey, that sounds like a business idea!

I find it odd that other threads that talk about tipping usually lean on the argument that servers make practically nothing, barely getting minimum wage if that and this thread is comment after comment on how $12-14 would be a paycut.

People working in most industries are working their butt off. I’ve never understood how we decide who gets tipped or not. I tip the guy at the coffee shop who pours my drip coffee and hands it to me at the counter, but I don’t tip the person who runs my food to my table at Noodles. What about all the retail people,…

I never thought about tipping the AAA guy, until my boss waited with me one day and slipped the guy a five. Since then, I’ve asked a few people and most of the older men said they tip and most of the younger men or women of all ages said they don’t tip. I guess it could also depend on the service. Change my tire in…
