You should let some of the lawyers know, because threatening to sue without actually intending to do so is illegal under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Even vague statements that suggest taking legal action are illegal under it.  Your firm might not mind earning a bit of money by suing the assholes.

In my experience, the ones who act that way don’t tip well, or at all anyway and are using that as an excuse to justify their tipping policy to themselves. It’s also a self-fulfilling prophecy, when you treat your server like shit, they know you’re not going to tip and stop busting their ass to help people who act…

I’d also be willing to be that most of the people who stopped visiting the place were the ones who didn’t tip, or left really small tips in the first place. Of course those people are going to be unhappy about paying more, they prefer the business model where other people subsidize their meal costs.

There’s a simple solution if they wanted to keep the numbering, just use the last two digits of the year. So this year would be number 18, next year 19, etc.

Nope, that’s not what it’s about. Fandom has placed videos at the top of most pages on the wikis. These videos are auto-play, and while they relate to the property in question, are usually irrelevant to the specific page’s content. They’re annoying, worthless and seriously piss off both the wiki maintainers and fans…

99% of the videos I’ve run into on Wikia sites have nothing to do with the page in question. They’re related to the property in question, but are usually irrelevant to the content you’re looking for on that page. I’m not sure what Fandom’s purpose is with the videos, beyond “force auto-playing videos on everyone”.

With this on his background, Wal-mart probably wouldn’t hire him. He’d be considered too big a risk of possibly stealing things. He should be able to find work somewhere though, and it’ll serve him right if he’s stuck in a low-wage job and left with barely enough to live on after he has to shell out a portion each…

Yeah, I’m concerned about how the kid could have gotten stuck or injured, but feel no sympathy for the machine’s owners. Those things are such scams.

I don’t play GTA Online, but from what I’ve read about things in it like the orbital cannon, not even infinite Shark Cards can save you from the trolls and griefing.

Supposedly they did a blood draw earlier:

Thanks for posting this, I’d never heard of him but I’m about halfway through listening and am really liking it. The concept and the music both are great!

I tend to agree with you, the PS2 era is probably the last one where we really owned our games entirely. There were few games that were online-only, and all the games that had an online component as well as single player had to function without online access because most people didn’t even have the PS2 network…

SSX Tricky remains my favorite extreme sports game, simply because of how over-the-top the whole thing was. In addition to big air and big tricks, it had serious personality for all the racers. Hell, it was fun wiping out, hearing the things your racers would say. After that they went more realistic and all the charm…

Not a problem, introducing Warcraft 4: ORCS IN SPACE

Not everyone that’s childless has issues with that kind of thing. I’m single but I fully understand that kids are more important than any game. Granted I have my own issues that make me far more unreliable than any parents, so this may make me more understanding. (Disabled, in pain a lot, can have sudden attacks of…

I’m pretty sure Moist Von Lipwig said that about their son because this story involves both a young man (Heitmann) and a pre-teen girl (the 12yo in the car he hit) dying. Parents tend to think about their children when they read things like that, because it reminds them that something could happen to end their…

Hell, not just that, I don’t want to watch a video with subtitles telling the exact damn thing the print article would. I can read the article faster than the video plays, so stop wasting my time. If you just have to have video, make it interesting, not the text article in subtitles over static pictures.

Every damn time I see a cop pull the “I feared for my life” excuse out of their ass, I want to scream at them “THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU BECOME A COP?” If you fear for your life that much, you should pick just about any career other than one in law enforcement.

One of those soft lunch coolers with a strap works wonderfully, and even keeps them cool for maybe 10 to 15 minutes!

Man, the Jalopnik commenters will have a field day with that address if they run across it.
