Thats just one scenario. Another would be he sells for more money than he paid if the value went up overnight, and a 3rd would be that he gets nothing because the value fell and he would only accept $210 since no one was willing to pay more than $180.

So Bob wants to sell on Thursday Morning. Those Bobs will make money. But if I thought of it, everyone else will too.

I can see the problem already.

I mean, even if he's profiting, in a way he's right. It was stupid of hedge funds to short GME this much. But you can't really tell me that the price of the stock now is at all what the company is worth. If this skyrockets past 1000$ like some people are wanting, it is going to cause a lot of issues, especially if this becomes a norm on stocks.

Can you narrow that down for me?

Bob buys ten shares tonight at $210. What happens to Bob on Friday? Can he literally just hit the "sell" button if there's a profit/increase and call it a night? Or is the stock going to collapse and be weeded in legal trouble and he's going to be out $210 x 10 no matter what he does?

Are you offended

Never, by default. Even when stiffed. Only people who want to get fired instantly go on those social media crusades or worse yet, call after the customer as they're leaving, to confront them. Is it annoying? Yeah. But the next customer is right behind and if you treat them as well and roll the dice, could be new regulars.

For what I consider tipping etiquette;

Table/Bar Service: 15% Standard, 20% Good, 25%+ Great/They did you a solid. Unless they spit in your mouth and scream obscenities, don't go below 15%.

Pickup: If I call in an order, get there, get handed a bag and leave I'll usually give them a couple bucks cash if I have it. Never expect to give or receive a tip here.

Delivery Driver: Yes, grubhub/Uber eats/doordash etc all suck and the fees are insane and all that shit. It's not the place you're ordering from's fault at all. They're cannibalizing the market. You should still always tip your driver 20%.

As a Patriots fan I'd love to see Brady take it, but Chiefs are looking like the new dynasty. The difference in player talent is pretty close to even with weaknesses on either side for both, but the game changer is simply going to be coaching. Bruce Arians doesn't even get up from his golf cart for most practices and Brady has been running the show since at least mid year. Andy Reid is a much, much stronger head coach with experience in this situation.

I don't think the lights will be too bright for Brady, but they will be for Tampa's coaching staff.

Chiefs Win 35-24

Chandler has had a very long career outside of UFC and he's mostly been solid. This was one of his better knockouts. It was funny watching him get pumped, then annoyed, then work on his timing against Hooker lol. Hooker had nothing to offer in this fight.

Him calling out those three makes sense. On the off chance Khabib might come back to fight him (he won't), and whoever wins Conor/Poirier (Conor)

I thought RE8 WAS the RE4 remake as it was called Village.

They're working on both. Originally the RE3 team wanted to make RE4 a 1:1 faithful, authentic remake because they got shit for how they cut so much content from RE3 for Capcom. Capcom told them to kick rocks, they're doing it themselves, because they want to change a lot about the game.

I would say switch to something like American Spirits. I've also cut down a ton on my smoking, to the point where I don't even really enjoy it - I used to smoke like two or three per leg of my commute and now when I have to drive to work I just have 3/4 of one.

This is actually due to your recommendation of Spirits. They burn longer than the slow heat death of the universe and especially the menthol ones are strong. It's a gambit, quitting using them can work, but they hit like a truck if you're used to lights.

I feel you TC. I shot myself in the foot. For a little over a year I vaped but all the stores, prices and availability of that equipment went to hell for covid in my city. Switched to American Spirits and trying to quit. Been smoking cigs for like two months now and I know I gotta stop.

The new hitman games are a lot of fun but people new to the series should be aware that the maps are very much gigantic, interlocking puzzles where interactivity -> efficiency -> kill and escape is more or less always the goal.

I liked RE7 but I agree on your two main points.

Combat should have been meatier and more impactful. Pistol felt like a BB gun-lite, shotgun felt like a sawnoff rifle, and the sounds lacked any punch. Even RE4 feels meatier to fight enemies in.

Also agreed on the float-y. It gave me a headache and felt like my head was suspended in water. I believe this was to prep it for Sony VR as the above poster said, though. No way around it.

This is tangential, but I was struck by how good Gears Tactics looks. Strategy games aren't usually given that level of detail of fidelity.

It's too bad the game doesn't even have a meta campaign like any xcom game. The formula improvement and graphics fidelity was incredible compared to Xcom 2 and it has a lot of needed QoL stuff... but a very short, linear campaign with little content at all was a shame.
