The actual work product out of Lucas Arts hadn’t been great leading up to it’s shuttering. The game concept was cool but I remember having very little faith LucasArts could do it well.

It is more likely that they just didn’t want to pay the licensing.

It has gotten harder to make a single disc drive read too many legacy formats, so the tradeoff is that the PS5 disc drive can do DVDs and forward, but not CDs.

Disc or not it would be emulated in software. The different consoles used different hardware. Different instruction sets for the processors, different GPU architectures.

Right? Using condiment packs means either tossing out expensive condiments constantly or repeatedly using the same ones. Which is a god damn shit show sanitation wise. There’s no indication from the list it’s the condiments that go with a dish that indicate what’s what.

Waffle House is, like I said, a classic short…

The only thing I can think is they’re operating like a cafeteria.

Server brings a plate to each station, marked with whatever needs to go on that. Cook who’s already cooking/cooked a shit load of it deposits. And the server moves down the line.

But Waffle House doesn’t have the space for that.

That I don’t get. Cause neither part of that is a thing.

Clearly you’ve never seen a restaurant ticket.

They tend to be more a series of symbols and abbreviations rather than English or something.

No everyone reads them either. Tend to have one guy in a supervisory position read them off to the team, then coordinate and assemble orders. It’s called Expediting.

I seen a guy…

As some who as actually defaulted on their student loans.

It’s absolutely great way to get drowned by your student debt.

It absolutely destroys your credit. You will get hounded by collections, as will your family. If anyone co-signed your student loans they’ll try to garnish it from them.

That’s such a rarity I wouldn’t be over concerned about it.

This will never happen at a restaurant where you eat. It will never happen to some one you know. It is not a material factor in the well being, live or wages of restaurant workers. Or a genuine thing anyone needs to account for.

It’s some flashy shit that’s…

Yeah that’s, I think. statutory. If it’s ground it’s a nugget or a patty (for sandwich sized thing).

Popcorn chicken seems less common than it used to be. I think maybe KFC or somebody has trademark on it. But it is a trade name for chunks of battered chicken.

Nuggets are ground and formed chicken meat.

Tenders are whole muscle, and properly the “tenderloin” portion of the breast.

Chicken strips, fingers etc. are pieces of whole muscle. Typically breast cut into strips.

Popcorn chicken or Chicken bites, and a couple other terms. Are smaller chunks of whole muscle. Sort of…

“How is that valid grounds to sue?”

On grounds that they weren’t adequately notified that the service fee wasn’t going directly to servers, or weren’t adequately notified of it.

Thankfully COVID is shaking that up a little. Prices are rising anyway, and some places have been able to simply include better pay and non-Tipped systems into pricing in a way that didn’t work before hand.

The easy answer is it’s not your business, and you don’t need to think about it.

How employees administer their tips (and it is employees who do it), doesn’t impact how you tip.

I was quite surprised that it turned out to be a romantic comedy.

They want the IP

In a lot of markets, and the US in particular. Sony’s output is locked into Starz for the initial TV/streaming window. Followed by Netflix for a bit.

I’m not neccisarily just talking about the media and Hollywood itself. Although for damn sure. A lot of the Whedon fandom, and just the conversation around him in general was fully on board with this read.

Though in my experience a good bit of the Buffy Fandom was more aware, and more apt to point later in the series…
