‘Pure greed:’ Etiquette expert explains why tipping has gotten out of control
  • For easy drinks (beer, wine, or simple liquor/ soda mixes), $1 is fine. If they have to bust out a tool like a muddler or peeler, you should probably give more than $1.

    Biden Campaign Joins Truth Social to Troll Trump: ‘Converts Welcome!’
  • I like the idea of Secret Service enrichment activities being exactly like dog enrichment. They just release a bunch of Government mooks into a room with some of those doggie treats puzzles, but I stead of beggin strips, it's full of domestic terrorists addresses.

    Biden says UAW should fight for 40% pay raise in Michigan strike visit
  • I don't think it's as likely that the Feds break this strike like they did with the railroads. Their argument against the rails was that almost every other industry relies on them to move product, while having fewer new cars will only effect the new and used car markets. With however hundreds of millions of usable vehicles that are already out there, this strike doesn't really have the same opportunity to spill over to the larger economy.

    What are you reading/listening to this week? (September 27th, 2023)
  • I'm kicking off Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's the second book after Children of Time, which instantly became one of my favorite sci-fi books. It's not terribly long and worth checking out.

    The next-generation "forest army": Biden launches civilian climate corps program
  • It was right in the first paragraph of the article.

    "...deploying corps members to work in wind and solar production as well as environmental conservation projects."

    So yes, it (should be) more than just trail work.

    The next-generation "forest army": Biden launches civilian climate corps program
  • This is incredible news! While 20,000 is fewer jobs than I would have liked, it's still 20,000 more people that are fighting to save our planet than we had before. Plus all those jobs will provide income to all those people and families, and they'll be able to recirculate those funds to their local economies. I bet this program will generate more income than it's cost over the long run, and that's not even counting all the monetary savings that a more stable (or at least slower changing) climate will bring.

  • I was very confused when I came up on the trader in Mt. Gelmir. That didn't seem like a spot with a lot of foot traffic...

    UAW members go on strike at three key auto plants after deal deadline passes
  • If the UAW can get a 32-hour week, that would be a MASSIVE step in getting it done for the rest of the work force. It would be a perfect example of how unions benefit all workers, not just the ones actually in the union.

    150k automakers prepare strike, corporate claims poverty while authorizing $5 billion buyback
  • You love to see it! I hope all the best to not only these, but all workers worldwide! The greedy fucks at the top need to be reminded who really makes all the money in the world. They're just the one who keep it all for themselves.

  • This is largely to bring attention to the Tasting History YT channel since I think you fine folks would like it. I am not associated with the channel in any way.

    Max will usually intro with a little base info, followed by the recepie, then it's "Time for History" related to the dish in the video. He finishes each video with a tasting and review of the dish. If you're just interested in the food, you can probably skip the middle 40-50% of the video.

    Group of up to 50 people shoplift about $100K worth of luxury items from L.A. mall; used bear spray against guards
  • My Ex used to work in Saks 5th Avenue, so I would often browse around while waiting for them. I once saw a short sleeve button up shirt on the clearance rack that I really liked. It was $175 after the discount. I never seriously shopped in there after that.

  • The ingredients weren't anything special, but a little effort in presentation goes a long way.
