I’ve been in various forms of computer and information technology support for 20+ years. It’s not waiting tables, no, but EVERY customer interaction has to be approached with a smile, a relaxed and caring attitude, and with the acting role of “I’m here to make your life better in whatever way I can so that you walk…

So ... what happens to renters when they move to an address that’s already been claimed? Landlords who receive mail at multiple locations? Are Post Office boxes eligible?

I’m not worried about the credit or identity theft part of it -- my credit is so tanked the worst thing somebody can do is trigger another hard…

That’s a good point. I’d not thought of that. We haven’t had a fry refill in years, on account of never having enough room for any after eating the rest of the meal...

THIS!

I live in VA and commute into D.C. regularly. I can’t afford a place for my family of 5 in D.C. no matter how much I’d like to live there.

I enjoy quality food and service enough that an extra $100 a year (for me, in my current financial state) is worth it.

My wife and I make it a point to watch this film at least once a year. Tucci is correct in his analysis of it being fucking brilliant, and as a workaholic in the IT industry it helps remind me that burnout is real and dangerous and that I need to strive for better balance.

Baseline is 20% post tax, then add on to that so that my total bill comes out to an even dollar amount.

Example: My 4 year old loves Red Robin. She think their fries are the best. My wife and I each get burgers for $6.99, my daughter gets the kids meal for $4.99, we all get the strawberry lemonade for $3.29 each…

I’ve lived the majority of my adult life in either Texas or Florida, where obtaining alcohol from a retailer was pretty easy. Just about anybody willing to pay for all the licenses could own a liquor store and order in whatever they pleased to sell, which make finding that one little store that sells the particularly…

My 12 year old son is on the autism spectrum and has a form of deficit disorder. Caffeine acts similar to the way Ritalin does for him — it helps him focus. It also curbs his headaches without him needing to try to pop some Tylenol. He self regulates based on needs, and averages 3 cups of coffee a week. I see no…

So this is punishable, but requiring voters to pay to obtain a form of documentation to show for voting is not considered to be a form of a poll tax or any other tax, in violation of the 24th Amendment?

Interesting.

Getting stuck at MCO really depends on why and where you’re stuck, though.

If you’re outside security and can’t go through because your flight has been cancelled, you’re in really good luck if it’s not too late into the night. The in-concourse Hyatt Regency has two separate dining establishments, there are 3 other full-…

I saw the Starter Pack for Switch at Best Buy yesterday, and thought I had missed the announcement of a new Starfox game. The box art made it look like it was more like an open-universe Starfox game.

Now I’m disappointed. I want a new Starfox game, I want it to be quality, and I want a local multiplayer similar to…

My wife insisted for most of our first year together (2010) after we started dating that I needed needed NEEDED to watch “Doctor Who”, and I resisted strongly. I’d seen so many of my friends absolutely livid at the casting of Matt Smith as the new Doctor that I didn’t want to get anywhere near a show with that upset…

That was the moment in which I knew that Capaldi had elevated himself above all Doctors not named Tennant in my eyes. Goodness, but he played that scene beautifully.

Who watches ads anymore? Unless they’re at the start of a Youtube video my kids never see them. We don’t have broadcast or cable TV — everything we watch in our house is on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

I couldn’t guess a darn thing from the video they showed. A third-person action fantasy game where the enemy wears a cape…

Well shit the bed! That’s not a bad take, kids!

She looks tired. Doesn’t she look tired?

I think the only times I’ve seen Nintento MSRP drop on first-party titles is when they hit the “Greatest Hits / Nintendo Select” level. Give a title 3-5 years and several million units in sales, and then the MSRP drops to 19.99 USD.

As I understand it (and I think io9 even reported), the success of the CW shows on Netflix played a part, but so did the freedom offered by Netflix for this incarnation of Sabrina to do things that would have been censored out of the show if it ran on The CW.

I’ve got my black candles ready.

I have two daughters who have absorbed all of the original She-Ra several times over, and a wife who has made some stunningly gorgeous Catra artwork over the years.

I know what we’re binging together in November.
