Back in my day, some employers paid below minimum wage so long as tips make up the difference.

Those are terrible employers and their employees should absolutely lie to them about not being tipped to make them pay an almost fair wage.

(Hopefully all those places have gone out of business, that practice has been…

So that link, the publication calls itself “quartz.”

On qz.com it calls itself “quartz.”

This comes up as “Quartzy” though https://qz.com/quartzy/

And that appears to be completely separate from the very good lab supplies ordering website http://www.quartzy.com/ which also would kinda make sense in this context.

By their…

“ But it might leave a sour taste in your mouth to know that you’ll never see a penny of the profits your DNA helped make possible—at least, it would for me.”

Given how long it takes for a new drug to go from bench to clinic and make a profit, they may as well promise you $5 in 20 years.

“failed to note that a sample of submitted DNA actually came from a Labrador retriever.”

My St. Louis travel tips are:

“Don’t be not white in St. Louis.

If you aren’t white, go to Chicago instead.

If you are white, go to Chicago instead.

If you live in STL, stop being so racist.”

Executive one: “As you can see on this powerpoint, if we take the amount of money that gamestop gets from reselling games, and add take the amount of money spend distributing physical media, that’s a very big amount of money we’ll be putting right in our pockets by switching to streaming!”

Executive two: “SYNERGY!”

Execu…

There definitely needs to be a law that if you look like the dude in this picture, the authorities just search your home at random intervals.

Give google or someone a bunch of money to feed a computer a bunch of images of child molesting dudes and dudes who kidnap and torture people. Then have it predict whether or not…

If there were a pair that had ear hooks, that would automatically be them.

Do earbuds stay in ANYONE’S ears by themselves?

Stop sticking your finger in the wound; let the damn thing close.

The president of the US is Trump. Black lives matters is getting more hate for suggesting unarmed black people shouldn’t be shot by police than mass shooters (all white) get.

“People were racist in the past” is true, but the part where you imagine we’re past it and there’s no relevance to today is wrong.

Not just…

“Clamshells must die because this $1,300 laptop can pretend to be a tablet.”

Does this mean Cortana will be able to use some other music service?

Things I do not understand

- Why cortana can only use microsoft services. I can understand if that’s the default, but preventing your way-behind-everyone-else smart assistant from using tools everyone already uses seems like a great way to make sure…

>the people who use this term are already biased, racist and unreasonable.

Oh, I think they’re “reasonable” in terms of “able to reason.” They’re intentionally choosing not to be in order to support their racism.

If I don’t want to walk to the store, sit down in my office chair, and say “I’ll never be able to wheel…

“Guns and women got Dan Bilzerian where he is today...”

Then later on in the article points out he’s a trust fundie.

So does “where he is today” refer to how many instagram followers one has? Because “where one is today” to me means money. I understand poetic license, that it sound better than “He’s where he is today…

I took my previous laptop to and from work everyday on the L in Chicago. A few ounces difference between a 13 and a 17 wouldn’t have made much difference. I’d wager most people who use laptops aren’t truly walking around constantly.

“Generally, laptop screens aren’t as good as full fledged monitors. Similarly, a 17…

“...you’ll probably see a naked guy walking around (found that out the hard way...” 

I got a 17" with 4k. It’s great, except it makes using an external monitor wonky.

I guess I don’t understand why smaller is better in laptops. I so rarely use it actually ON my laptop or truly on the go, and even a 13", it’s not like you’d just be walking around with it under your arm, no bag, right?

“I agree to terms of agreement including arbitration” was unusually prominent on their site.

So I probably won’t be able to be a part of that class action lawsuit and get my $5 in about 5 years because the arbitrator will decide I probably was going to get my private data out there anyway.

(Joking aside, class action…
