20 is my good spot too, like 24 and I’m dying. We had a heat wave in BC, Canada last couple of yeara and it hit 38-40 most days during the 2 weeks. The amount of sweating and fatique were exhausting. 52 would have killed me.

Suggested, not mandatory. Some places have stopped allowing tips being accepted by staff.

it didn’t start that way, it was a way to ensure prompt attentive service, it was on the table at the start so staff saw a bonus coming for being very attentive. Not saying that is a good way either, but USA has allowed it to drive down wages. Here minimum wage is almost identical across the country regardless of job type.

Yep, but the underlying problem is not tipping, it is just shitty US laws, otherwise we would see the same low wage in Canada because tip culture is the same

I don’t tgink tipping is responsible for that low a wage. in BC Canada its almost $16 min wage, plus tips

I came here to say this. Hello fellow old person. Old school friend used to call me whenever he had recently gone to an amway pep meeting.

They did make engines for planes though right? bavarian motor works.

Ah got it

Vegans aren’t against precooked, that is the macrobiotic types tjat only eat raw food and use a low speed blender to not add heat and destroy nutrients

My semi professional opinion ( since I exited automotive right around Tesla’s public vehicle launch ) they are rushing to compete in an established market. It takes a long time to dial in quality on the stampings and frame, especially if material vendors change or others uses to ramp up production. They are focusing on production numbers to stay viable as a company. The early model had a comparable front lens design to other competitiors, the rear lens was a cheap get this assmebly done type design. Focus was on the front because everyone looks at the front of car for press pictures etc

Ha, no. But worked in Windsor/Detroit auto industry for too long. people there love their Didge/Chrysler products, but they had terrible gap spacings, faulty products right from factory, and terrible repair record with mechanics. The cheap price correlates to the level of quality though

I mean so are chrysler dodge but no one trashes them as much, and they have had decades ahead of Tesla to sort it out

As battery tech evolves EVs will become much better and cheaper for battery replacement, extending their life. a company recently reported double battery density, which will first hit aero space and outer space tech, then laptop/phonr then cars. it will be a while, but progress is happening. A loy less oil went into Tesla autobody than regular car. think of all the castiron and aluminum, plastics and other comoponents in an ICE system, which aren’t used in tesla. and how much manf and transport required for it

Oh Carribean, I had a great dish in Windsor, Ontario once and had the 10. It was hot, but not compared to real spice level it should have been…At least I don’t think

As I explained only upper portion of image was disolayed and the joke part wasn’t visible. And it had sat with what looked like no comments on my app.

Anytime it is your primary income there is built in propensity to stray to ensure you income is maintained when viewership might wane. I think the channels where a dude works full time and youtube is the side gig has more chance of maintaining integrity.

Lol. You totally can. For me I like spice but also the subtle parts of curry flavour. like mint and cinnamon are spicey too in different ways, add those in with chillies and ginger and it gives you a well rounded Spice that isn’t just burn the mouth hot

There are some things like that. For Podcasting there is the value for value method (I forget the name) you watch / listen to content which sends you credits, you can also purchase credits. If you like a channel you can send them your credits. So it is direct support rather than ads giving portion of revenue. If cash is difficult they ask for value for value by donating your time to help in someway, completly optional though. odysee and LBRY were setup that way also, but too bad LBRY CEO was charged with securities fraud

Yes, but then you get channels like Linus Tech Tips where it became less about product reviews and just about volume production garbage content and forced contraversial content to keep revenue stream.

Sure, but it isn’t one ad anymore. it is two upfront, plus ads in the comment portion, plus random ads in between. The actual youtube app (without premium) is horrendous and I don’t blame people for using ad blocker or newpipe, vancetube etc
