And with inflation, I can't afford to tip. If I to go to a bar I budget for it, but these minimum tip barriers preventing me from tipping without breaking the bank lead to me saying no tip if they wont allow me to customize it.

That said I go to a bar once a year now because of the cost. I mostly hit this BS on the rare occasion I need to drive my wife to a doctors appointment and I stop at Starbucks or the closest coffee shop and get a brewed coffee. They take thirty seconds to pour a cup and pass it to me and then expect a 25% tip. Meanwhile their CEO flies his personal jet to work everyday.

I tip at bars because servers are providing an experience. But even then, if i cant get the persons attention for half the night, and they are just on their cellphone talking to the bartender... no tip. I worked in bars. I watch. I reward good service. I wont reward half-assery.

You're not really grokking what I stated. No one should ever rely on tips. They should rely on a fair wage. Tips are a thank you, a gratuity, and no one owes them to anyone. The rich bastards not paying a living wage and turning this into an "us vs them" discussion are the problem here, as is the mindset of tips being earnings.

Eat the rich, not your clientelle.

You don't work for tips. You work for a wage. And yes I worked years in the service industry and still have many friends in it.

I think you're missing the fact that the bosses of the establishment aren't paying their employees fair wages and thats the only reason the tip is needed. Im not paying 25% for shit service. Tips are a GRATUITY for doing a good job and equate to a BONUS. They are not, nor were they ever, a defacto part of someone's earnings.

Lol, Niantic coding anything that actually works well is hilarious.

I'd also argue that Ingress players likely gave them way more useful data than PoGo

When the side you are negotiating with is a bully that keeps "negotiating" after invading more of your homeland and will just do that again in a few years, you stop negotiating and take what is yours back and make sure they remember that.

Sometimes negotiating amounts to enabling.

It's an interesting culture difference, but I live in Campbell River on Vancouver Island and have lived in several areas of rural Canada but generally when celebs come here and they are out to eat, as humans do, people let them be.

Yes cause god forbid he should be able to exist outside his house with his family. Fuck this attitude is self-centered. When people are out doing their thing and not at work being a star, leave em the fuck alone.

Fetal Heart "custody"?

I mean if it's a fetus I'm pretty sure the mother gets custody by default.

Still not ready to trust AMD/ATI again. I used them exclusively right up until they bought ATI and then decided fuck open source and the drivers for Linux tanked.

I hear all the issues folks have had with Intel/NVIDIA but I have yet to experience any of them. From where I'm sitting they are still working great. And their open source has not been perfect but its consistent. Instead of going from being golden to fuck you Linux folks overnight.
