    I don’t care what people think, I’m still doing 10% for okay, 15% for good, and 20% for great.

    It’s not my job to give servers a raise. The food prices have already exploded, they are already getting more in tips just because the base cost went up

    My $10 meal and 15% tip ($1.50) is now a $15 meal with a 15% tip ($2.25) which would have been a 22.5% at previous prices. They already come out ahead in that scenario without tip percentages increasing.






  • If you’re American or Canadian or Australian (maybe others?) the secret is to make sure you visit “Accredited” zoos and aquariums.

    They have regular inspections and assessments to ensure they meet Requirments for enclosure space sizes and maintenance and cleanliness quality, behaviour and mental enrichment for the animals (of which this would be something, providing natural prey instead of ground meat), health checks and veterinary care, documentation of all of the above, etc.

    If somewhere isn’t accredited is risky as to whether or not the animals are properly cared for.

    It is AZA in America, CAZA in Canada, and AAZA in Australia. There may be others for other countries but those are the ones I’m familiar with.

  • To me having the car be able to override your actions sounds more dangerous than being to override the autopilot.

    I had one rental truck that drove me insane and scared the shit out of me because it would slam on the brakes when I tried to reverse into grass that was too tall.

    What if I were trying to avoid something dangerous, like a train or another vehicle, and the truck slammed on the brakes for me because of some tree branches in the way? Potentially deadly.
