Way of the road, Bubs.

Really the only thing we disagree on is that not tipping does/doesn’t hurt the business. I’m with you on everything else.

I really don’t have a dog in the fight tho. I don’t work in food service nor do I participate much in the dine-in restaurant portion of it. I can count the number of times I’ve sat down and ate at a restaurant in the last 4 years on one hand. I’m also a hypocrite, I over tip for takeout/delivery and perpetuate the problem.

But I do believe if people collectively ditched tipping, the problem would sort itself out. Not that it wouldn’t be painful for the workers. And not that there aren’t better options (I’m 110% for minimum wage to be the same across the board).

Leave to where? What other job?

To the same place they would go if everyone collectively boycotted that business like you are calling for. When there’s no customers, the businesses aren’t just going to keep paying them. They’ll end up getting fired or hours cut until they starve or leave. What’s the difference?

If everyone just stopped tipping all that would happen is that the workers now have a lower pay. The employers have lost no money, and have no reason to change anything.

No, a portion of the workers are going to say “I can make more at -insert literally any other job here-” and they are going to leave. Then the business has to either fix the problem or shut down. These service industry workers aren’t beholden to their employers, when the pay stops being decent, they’ll dip.

That’s how it works.

It wasn’t in fuel just for it’s octane boost. Some early engines that were designed to run on leaded fuel had valve seats made of softer metal and relied on lead’s lubricating/sealing properties. When unleaded fuel was used, the valves wouldn’t seal as well and the seats would wear prematurely.

It’s called a bundt pan.

The biggest hurdle I’ve ran into is that GPS resolution just isn’t accurate enough. If you want something that can follow a planned route without having to rely on a bunch of obstacle avoidance (which is difficult enough in itself) then you’ll have to set up some sort of local RTK in conjunction with the GPS.

Currently I’m just setting my mower up like a FPV drone that I can drive around remotely from the comfort of air conditioning. Hoping someone comes out with a good automated solution.

Whoever told you that is your enemy

Burning man. A bunch of trust fundies trying to out edge each other.

Aren’t thermobaric explosives also called vacuum bombs? That’s nothing new.

Edit: Or is it saying the claim they took out 300 soldiers at once is nonsense? I might have misread that.

It feels kinda messed up, then, that the people who had been led into this with misplaced trust and false promises are the ones getting the bulk of the punishment, and not the people who sold them on lies in the first place.

I agree. Altho not in the sense that these people are being handed unfair judgement, they’ve all got off extremely light for the acts they committed. But it is a travesty of justice that the ones instigating it have received little to no punishment.

These people gobbled the propaganda up because it justified their bigotry. So my sympathies are limited.

Yeah, lots of people forked it. But most are laying low at the moment. This one probably won’t last long.

Edit: “Contribute to Nikilites/nuzu development by creating an account on GitHub.” Now it kind of sounds like a honeypot.

The Internet Archive’s got your back. As if you needed a reason to donate to them.

And again we’ll blame it on the voters that failed to “fall in line” instead of the establishment that gave them no reason to.

Hah, I wish. Possibly, maybe, if it’s a Monday and Biden is in a bad mood. But I would bet a day’s wages that Israel could “accidentally” down a US plane carrying aid and the only thing that would come of it is some finger wagging.

I often delete old posts because sharing my entire post history feels intrusive to me.

You realize with the way lemmy works, when you delete a post, it only deletes it for sure on your instance*. Every other instance it is federated with gets a request to delete that post but it may or may not be acted on. I’ve made posts, realized I misread what I was replying to, deleted my comment, and still got replies for weeks.

*or the one you’re posting to, not 100% sure here

Just sharing because a lot of people (myself included) didn’t realize that’s how it worked.

Yours too! I was just being facetious and taking your challenge literally (I agree with you). Cheers!
