Who do you keep bringing up the quote from the first reply.
They are literally colder than you. But i used the word really colder. The feel colder because of other phenomenon, which we have covered at length and nothing of note was added. We are making the same point, chill out

I cannot discern the difference between my arguments and yours. You just used more words? We’re saying the same thing, except I was making a joke about pedantry.

They have poor thermal conductivity, but still much better than fabrics or wood. They also have a high thermal mass.
Tiles are a bit cooler not because they are lower in the room, but because they easily lose heat to the air. They aren’t that much cooler though, and a piece of wood the same temp would feel much warmer.

rain is ambient temperature-ish and water isn’t wet! fight me! (jk)

Rain is not necessarily cold by the time it lands, it has a certain ability to sap and dissipate heat as it evaporates. The ceramic tiles in your house aren’t really “colder” than you, but they feel cold because they are very good and transfering heat away from you.
If youre into pedantic debates about properties of molecules, I suggest looking into why water is not wet, and the fan base

I once inquired about this very practice. I’ve been told it’s because:
- Water restrictions are generally lifted when it rains
- Easy rinse/prepped surface
That all make sense to me if these idiots had a pressure washer, but its always a normal hose with a nozzle…

In today’s world people should be afraid to flaunt their wealth, pursue these big positions. There’s so much inequality, I wouldn’t want to be the one to have all the goods. I dont condone murdering people for it, we should eat them instead.
- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 2 weeks ago:
Heard someone say it on reddit after someone was being a wise ass about their English which was obviously second or third language
You speak English because it’s the only language you know, I speak English because it’s the only language "you* know
- Comment on Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically? 3 weeks ago:
Because it’s not just about money, that’s why you hear about the number of copies sold more than gross revenue, it represents number of interested people that can buy another product at X dollars. Every now and then exec put up big sales, pump the numbers up before the big reports.
That’s also why Nintendo games neeever go on sale.

if you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment

You yearn for what could have been, and it’s hard to accept what is. If there is really no benefit, you should removed your estimate of them

- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 5 weeks ago:
I don’t give a shit what the waiter wants honestly, I shouldn’t have to pay the owner and the worker separately
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 5 weeks ago:
Cmon dude. All these people are saying we don’t need these laws because waiters can just quit to pressure businesses to pay them well. So why do these laws even exist?
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
Yeah lets ignore all of history and just invent stuff about “free markets”. All this and you haven’t addressed why we bother with minimum wage at all if this was true. Or why we bother with OSHA if construction workers would just pressure companies to change.
You know when the ad for your phone bill says “no hidden fees” ? They know that’s what people cared about, and they changed it. Now it’s just commonplace even when it’s not regulated. Shoving this on the worker makes no sense, the employer has the leverage
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
He is the one to blame lol, we all agree.
When you go to the restaurant, pay the food (owner) but not the waiter, you are playing right into the owners game (who is to blame).
So congrats on supporting the assholes creating this economic problem (they can’t run a profitable business). Next youre going to tell me human traffickers are the assholes and people should just stopped getting trafficked and leave. Because power dynamics have nothing to do with this of course.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
So we don’t need OSHA? We can just let construction workers quit if the contractors make them do dangerous stuff?
Youre a bit oblivious to your privilege.

At this point youre just being disingenuous. There’s a thousand comments in this thread answering that question.

Funny you mention THAT game.
Not that I have anyyy insider knowledge, but great care was taken to avoid very specific things. Also who knows, had coromon exploded in popularity, maybe Nintendo would have bothered.
- Comment on Pocketpair Confirms Which Patents Nintendo And The Pokemon Company Are Suing It Over 1 month ago:
Saw videos/articles online that this was the “end of gamedev” or whatever.
While patents for games are shit, theyve been around a long time and are hard to enforce. Palworld made it incredibly easy for one of the most ruthless companies to go after them. I expected they waited to see the final game before taking action, and until palworld made a ridiculous amount of money.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
This makes 0 sense it’s not even worth responding too properly.
You just want to eat for cheap, give the employer his money and skimp on the workers. If you really didn’t want to support tipping culture, youd stop going to restaurants entirely.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
This place is just as toxic as reddit lol, it was a valid question.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
Ahh yes other employment! How come nobody ever thought of that… Just get another job of course.
It’s so ridiculous of an answer ill go back to arguing with those who think they shouldn’t tip.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
Like not tipping is going to abolish anything. You walk in, pay the owner and leave the worker hanging. Why would the owner care?
It’s not like all the waiters can stay home waiting for something to change, people gotta live. Stop going to restaurants if you don’t want to tip
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
Don’t like tipping? Protest the policies by not going to restaurants, dont shove it on the workers who are stuck in the system.
The owner is 100% happy you came to pay him and not the waiter he didnt wanna pay anyway.
