Attention to details. Even the dimmest bulb knows to wash the inside of the glass. Lazy people will not wash the rim. |

| _Rinku_ 07/17/18 8:29:32 PM #34 | Orthopox12 posted... Id report the gun in the off chance she does something stupid with it at least they know it wasnt in your possession. But yeah giving someone a firearm registered in your name is pretty irresponsible. That said hope you get the gun back and miss the rape charge. This is the really important thing, TC. If she does something with that gun, and you haven't reported it stolen? You will be legally/criminally liable. If she kills someone, you could be looking at an accessory to murder charge and that will ruin your life worse than a false rape accusation. |

| _Rinku_ 07/15/18 5:30:38 PM #77 | EffectAndCause posted... Okay, lets remove kidnappings done by people the kid knows because that can be done anywhere since the kid knows them, where is a kid more likely to be kidnapped by a stranger? Honestly, in their own front yard is more likely than the park. There are almost certainly going to be other parents at the park that will notice a non-familial kidnapping. But, if it's just from the yard, there aren't guaranteed to be other parents around or even their own. That said, both are pretty rare. |

| _Rinku_ 07/15/18 5:05:09 PM #65 | Yeah, lawns suck. Growing up, my house's lawn was hideous and patchy due to like a decade's worth of unraked leaves killing almost everything underneath. By the time I was old enough to rake, the damage had been done and it never recovered. |

| _Rinku_ 07/13/18 7:08:19 PM #45 | Family pressure. Take for instance, the fact that my father would have, no lie, either beat me within an inch of my life or outright killed me if I ever brought a black girl home. I grew up with tons of people, men and women, who faced similar threats from their families. I'm lucky in that I live far enough away and essentially cut him out of my life, that it's a non-issue for me. Many people are not that lucky. They're stuck living at home with their folks for various reasons and being beholden to their bigotry. |
| Topic | Do you still have access to a working VCR? |
| _Rinku_ 07/13/18 7:01:53 PM #7 | Yes, sort of. I bought a DVS/VHS player combo at a thrift store a few years ago. I know it still works. However, I don't think it is technically a Video Cassette Recorder. It only plays VHS, afaik, and can't record anything to a blank tape. |

Unless you're big and strong, the odds of you being able to fight him off aren't great. On the all women crew, even a scrawny guy can fend off a moderately strong woman. |

| _Rinku_ 07/08/18 10:27:17 PM #22 | masticatingman posted... Your age argument isnt a good one. Men have new kids all the time in their late 30s and thru their 40s. The expectation is youll take care of yourself reasonably well. You probably wont depart until the new kid is in their 30s or 40s themselves. You really only have an argument as a guy to not have kids in your 50s on up...although you can still do it then too if you want. So yeah, hate to break it to ya but you got a long shelf life. Actually, new studies are showing that men's sperm isn't as... "good," for lack of a better term, as they get up in age. It's not as bad as it is with women and eggs, but the quality you produce definitely declines. Also, |

Yeah. The profitability is calculated off of a table ordering a minimum amount of food. Especially if you're only ordering a loss-leader item. The labor cost (the cooks, dishwashers, etc.) might not even be offset by the cost of your meal. I know it seems like the restaurant should be grateful for getting any business, but I've gotten enough bad service to learn otherwise. I mostly go to places where they give me my food and I do everything else. Way less confusion and mind games. |

Prices aren't calculated for max capacity because, as you said, they're almost never at max capacity. I'm just telling you guys what I know so you can get good service. Going to a restaurant in the US is a very adversarial encounter. |

It wouldn't be nearly so complicated if restaurants would pay the regular minimum wage and just charge a buck or two extra for every item. You are really angry about this. And, you do know that many restaurants require their servers to tip out a percentage to the back of the house and,yes, even the restaurant itself? It's a two-fold issue: you're costing the restaurant money by not spending enough and you're costing the server by not tipping enough to justify their time spent on you (which goes beyond the minute-minute and a half they're physically at your table). And, honestly, yeah, it's a bit rude to not order at least $15 worth of food if you're expecting service. I don't like it, so I don't go out to eat if I'm not down for spending that much. It's really simple. That's not even getting into establishments that actively punish their employees when customers don't order drinks, appetizer, entree, and dessert. I overheard a manager threatening a new employee with how this affected her "statistics" and I made it a point not to go there any more. That said, that's mostly an issue with big corporate chains, and not your local Thai place. |

I wouldn't order a $9 meal at a sit-down restaurant. I'd get it to-go and not tip at all, as I said before. I don't like the game, but I understand the rules. It wouldn't be nearly so complicated if restaurants would pay the regular minimum wage and just charge a buck or two extra for every item. |

If they are, in spite of having four open tables every time you go, they must be making their money in to-go orders or other tasks. In which case, you're taking up resources that could be more profitably used for food prep, taking phone orders, etc. Again: the time could be better used for something other than waiting on you. It seems I touched a nerve with you? It's not an attack on your character. I'm just stating facts about the restaurant industry. There's no need to get so upset. |

Actually, I don't tip on takeout. I've had people in the industry scream at me over this and say that you should tip just as much as if you sat in and ate, but that's silly. I probably should tip a little bit for them putting the food in the containers and bags, but I don't tip at McDonald's for that. |

Unless you are literally out in ten minutes every single time, you are putting them in the negative for opportunity cost. Sounds like that restaurant isn't doing too well then. If they are, in spite of having four open tables every time you go, they must be making their money in to-go orders or other tasks. In which case, you're taking up resources that could be more profitably used for food prep, taking phone orders, etc. It's an opportunity cost because when you sit at the table, a more profitable customer could be sitting at the table. It doesn't have much to do with how long the server is there. Re: tipping: you should always tip either 20% or $5, whichever is higher, assuming the service is good. |
