If they were there for 2hrs, the waitress just made $35p/h taxe free not including other tables.
I thought that was decent.

When typical tipping culture says it should be 140 on a 700 meal, and you miss out on possibly a second table, then no, it isn't good. In that time, assuming everything went right that person could have easily made 200 dollars.

I think I kind of understand the situation. If they had been there an hour and tipped 70 she would have been fine, yes its frustrating that its only 10 percent, but she can make that up with other customers. But if someone is there for 3 hours, which subsequently could have seated 3 or more different families, she has every right to be pissed off. She makes most of her money via tips, so in the span of that time period she could have made at least double that amount with more people dining at that table.

Then there is always the chance that one of the other families would have tipped her more.

So 1 European family stays there for I'm going to assume 3 hours. Assuming she could have seated 3 families in that 3 hours, paying the same amount, that's 70+140+140 or 350.

I don't know how KFC is close to winning.... they haven't been good for a very long time. Hell, they don't even have the original KFC chicken recipe anymore, a company in Europe owns the rights to that now, though its sold under a different name. 4 of those options aren't available in my area (Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme). The only 2 I would even consider are Burger King and Mcdonalds, with Mcds having the slight edge because of breakfast. That and too much BK gets tiring.

If Shinji blacks out (since the story is told through his perspective), the fight ends and you only find out about what happens through conversation, not showing the fight.

Question: who decides what topics are presented at debates?

That I wouldn't be able to answer. I would assume there would be a selection of generic questions like "what would you do to deal with gun violence in the school system?" or "how would you approach Climate change", I'm sure there would need to be some sort of group of people who would come up with that kind of list that can be transelection.

Popularity vote, that said I've long since said certain things need to be prerequisites to be able to vote. A person must be mentally sound to be able to vote. They must also be presented with all the information about all candidates at least a week prior to the elections.

I would also make it so that candidates would not be allowed on public television or social media outside of debates for at least 3 months prior to the election. This would attempt to eliminate slander campaigns, keeping politics to just the topics presented at debates.

Of course... I'm Canadian, and our system is far more fucked up than the US Presidential election. Imagine instead of voting for a president, your voting for an elected official for your district (which can be something like 10 miles by 10 miles). They then total up which party has the most elected officials in a state, and they give them seats in congress. The party with the most seats in congress wins the election, and their leader becomes President.

I don't think they need to make something as powerful as the PS5/XBox Series X, but they need to make a middle ground console. Something akin to the late PS4 should suffice. Just make it so there are very low load times, barely any latency, and can hold hundreds of objects on screen without slowdown.

Yeah, I had it done. The procedure is laparoscopy meaning they make 3 small incisions around your stomach area and the it's usually extremely fast and painless. You might have to take a couple weeks for the swelling to go down, and you may have temporary numbness, but it's not something that should last too long past the surgery.

I've had 2 laparoscopic surgeries done, neither were painful, you just aren't allowed to lift anything heavier than 5 lbs for a couple weeks and clean the wounds daily with some disinfectant. Luckily mom was a nurse so I just stayed at her place for the recovery period. Bit of soapy water, saline, and alcohol swabs; followed by drying the surgical area.

You might also be prescribed pain killers, which are there just to take the edge off every now and then for the first week of recovery, as your body has literally been cut open.

Ivany2008

As much as I love onions, I might say... Peppers are a bit more versatile. You have an ingredient that can add a small amount of sweetness or crunch to a dish or make it extremely spicy, with each type of pepper having its own different taste. You have dry versions of it like Schezwan which can make your mouth feeling a little numb, or white and black pepper each adding their own flavor to a dish.

You can stew, stuff, bake, dry, fry, grill and anything in between. It makes a very delicious Arrabbiata sauce, Salsa, and it's the main ingredient in all hot sauces.

It's also an ingredient in way too many dishes. From Omelettes, to Fajitas, to Stews and even some baked goods.

All I hope is that they stop being lazy and actually make both new monsters and new music. I know there were rumors that this was the last title that Koichi Sugiyama has worked on, but I hope that isn't true and I hope 11 was his last. The guy was a straight up asshole, the original release of DQ11 was in full midi, even though he had the orchestral soundtrack completed... all because he wanted to sell more concert tickets. The subsequent rerelease for the Switch gave us the orchestral soundtrack. At least that is what the rumors were surrounding him.

As much as it annoyed me with 8 and 10, 9 was the worst. I was satisfied with killing Kuja. Then the ending cinematic rolls. At least that's how it should play out. Instead we get a "Final Boss" who is only mentioned very briefly during a side quest, and even that might be something my mind has tricked me into believing as I can't find any mention of it being mentioned on Google.
