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 what a horse woman is... assuming we aren't talking about a minotaur/centaur, then her. I can just sleep in another room, or get earplugs, or hell just pay for the cpap or surgery to stop the snoring.

Could be worse. I've had a package delivered from the states to Dieppe (the Canadian alcatraz of packages), and then sent back down to the states, only to be sent back up to Dieppe again, before finally being shipped to my home back up in Canada.

Lettuce. All it adds is a tiny bit of crunch/texture you can get with other toppings. I would rather put slaw on my burger than lettuce.

What frustrates me is the camera angles. The controls aren't great, but if they had approached the 3D All Stars remake like Super Mario Galaxy, with that camera it would have made all the difference.

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.

Muhammad Ali is dead.
Antonio Inoki is dead.
Ric Flair has retired.

There's no way we can have a wrestling show to promote peace now.

Good luck trying to get Flair to retire. He's already said that he's going to be wrestling at least one more show, unless that its already happened. Was supposed to be in Puerto Rico I think. So much for his "last match ever".

I managed to get through it, I just didn't like it. Excluding my extreme hatred for Shinji, they never really show entire fights. 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.

Never seen it.

And yeah Christmas with the Kranks is lame

When you get a chance, watch Holy Grail. I know its a 60 year old movie, but it's still watchable even with dated technology.

Tokyo Gore Police

Christmas with the Kranks if I'm solely choosing a movie I cannot stand. If we are talking about a movie that I would like to unsee so I can watch it all over again for the first time then Monty Python and the Holy Grail, my favorite movie.

Yes, but I much rather pickled red onion.

Binding of Isaac on Steam.

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.

Deal, I'll just use a secondary twitter account.

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.

Um, no they're not? Japan is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world.

They may be a bit further ahead, but their tech at least from a computer perspective is also far more expensive. A 500 dollar computer in the states could cost close to 1k(66k yen) there.

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.

A full suit of armor with accompanying lance

Shadow Hearts, and I personally prefer 1 over 2, but I can agree with someone feeling this way. And... didn't see that its multiplatform, so I'm probably going to change my guess to Trails in the Sky.

Breasts or Centers. Though I do really enjoy Zinger style chicken wings.

I remember my last beer.... 4 years ago. Now I stick to good alcohol... and the occasional girly drink. If I can have it, I might have an Irish Coffee tonight. Got to check the sugar contents as I'm a new diabetic.

It depends on if Dog manages to cast his prayer circle in time. With Beth out of the mix, the incantation might end up being incomplete.

Curly. If you read up on the original 3 stooges they got so many injuries working on that show. I believe Curly came out the worst of the cast.

There are actually a ridiculous amount of elf races. High Elves, Elves, Dark Elves, Forest Elves, Santa Elves. The list goes on. Blood Elves who gave up on nature and depending on the lore you follow either worship a sunwell like in WoW, or believe in blood sacrifice.

Then we get into mutations. Trolls, Orcs, Nagas from WoW, Sahagin, etc.

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.

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.

That's.... a hard question. There are 2 shows that immediately come to mind with a 3rd I wouldn't mind reviving. The one I'm picking is Undergrads, which thankfully is getting turned into a movie. The other 2 are Titus, and Warehouse 13.

I've been allowing myself to have a chocolate covered ice cream.

Battle system wise it's great. The story is probably the worst of the trilogy(imo), and timeskip Hope is the closest I'll get to calling Hope cool. I'm pretty sure the soundtrack was great but the first and third games were more memorable in the department for me.

I dunno... I at least could understand what was happening in 13-2. Outside of the base story of "I got to find my sister", I had not a sweet clue what was happening in 13.

He looks like a balding Alan Harper.

Can I be honest? I much prefer Apple Blossoms. They are technically the same thing, but I find that Apple Blossoms are easier to store when you have less space like I do.

Booooo thats my favorite Jennifer Aniston role she was perfect

I just don't like her. I find her acting to be unnatural. It really does sound like she's reading a script every time she opens her mouth.

I don't tip, as its expensive as is, and Canadian servers make hourly. But it does lead me to one of my favorite Triumph the insult comic dog bits: Starts at 4:10

It breaks my heart to say it but Office Space. It's one of the greatest movies of all time but the quality goes down once they download their virus

I just wish they had casted literally anyone but Jennifer Aniston as Peters girlfriend.

Breaking the law sure, maybe Master of Puppets but I feel there are better songs out there than the other 3.

I probably would have tossed in Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden, bumped Crazy Train to number 5, and maybe bump Rainbow in the Dark by Dio to number 4. Of course, if we are including all forms of metal, then I probably would have a couple Within Temptation songs and maybe the Bards Song, but that's just me.

If we include series, then Lord of the Rings and Hobbit. Don't get me wrong, the first movies of both series are incredible, some of my favorite cinema. But Battle of the 5 Armies and Return of the King just felt like a let down. Even compared to The Two Towers.

It depends on the activity. I've never had an issue with Chocobo Hot and Cold, however the Skipping Rope I will almost always cheat. Also had to cheat to beat a few bosses in Tunic, or maybe it was Deaths Door, I forget which one gave you the option to be immune. I kept dying constantly, and after like 15 deaths I had to cheat, as I kept dying to stupid things.

....I take it your not a fan of pussy... cat then?

Lol what? FF9 is the only one without a shit ending

I'm not talking about the ending Cinematic. I'm talking about the Final Boss. You know, the habit Square has for inserting a boss after the final boss? They did it in 8, 9 and 10. 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.

It isn't. It's one of 3 for me

1 - Assorted Sours
2 - All Dressed Ruffles Chips
3 - Homemade Cream Cheese Pizza (Basically pizza but instead of tomato sauce its a mixture of cream cheese, sour cream and I think mayonaise)
