As I said, it’s not evident at all if those are full or discounted prices, so in the latter case it’s a misleading number.
Anyway, I don’t live in a place with broken wages and tipping system, so I don’t have to deal with problems like this. Where I am wait staff gets adequate wages and tips are only a bonus on top of that.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 days ago:
Still potentially misleading. If the receipt doesn’t say anything about the discount (which is not clear because we can’t see what’s above the total), then you can’t tell. Again, a simple disclaimer should be enough. If there are things like “please open box before eating pizza”, then this shouldn’t be a problem.
If you’re a regular at the place, you might know about the specials. If you just walk in one time and you don’t see a label, a receipt like this will be misleading if it doesn’t state the discounts and tip bases.

“Land of the free, home of the brave”, but with the caveat that those other professions don’t qualify as brave enough is my guess.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 5 days ago:
The problem is that because of the way it’s written, it ends up misleading.
If there was a simple disclaimer like “tip based on non-discounted prices”, it would’ve been fine.

Yep. Generally if one property of it was so different, I’d expect many others to be different as a result of that too. So physics and chemistry as we know them (with so many things relying on water) wouldn’t exist. And thinking further how life on Earth started off in the water…

The carpet has wear on one side, and it doesn’t make sense for the wear to be on the front of each stair, so most likely we’re looking down from the top of the flight of stairs.

The only appropriate reaction for this I have right now is “Bruh”.

Is “off boobs” the opposite of “on boobs”? Asking for a friend, obviously.

You’re doing your part, but someone else isn’t. Everyone should learn as part of their upbringing that wasting food is bad - just like littering and thousands of other things. Unfortunately we live in a world where someone has to be fined for them to realise they’re doing something wrong.

Oh, yes, you’re right! I read the question again.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 months ago:
Commendable for the kid to be thinking outside of the box, and a bit shitty of the teacher for not giving them maybe half a point (because it’s a correct answer, but not the correct/expected answer). The test maker is also to blame - they should’ve taken care to eliminate all ambiguity - it’s a math test after all.

I feel like this should’ve been discussed before moving in together. Still not too late to talk though - if he’s even a little bit considerate, he’ll agree to only smoke outside.

The irony is that before M1, while they were on x86, Apple computers were not that different than the rest besides having special motherboards and funky firmware. Even ARM now isn’t proprietary tech, it just isn’t adopted by the others (yet). All in all it’s an artificial distinction so that some people can be separated from their money.
- Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome. 2 months ago:
Magic Lantern probably. Don’t know about compact cameras, but this thing was big with DSLRs 10-15 years ago. What’s pretty impressive to me is that it didn’t require flashing the firmware, it just booted from a memory card.

Yeah, some of them like this one are not very well thought out, but I think for the most part they are - and when you put them in context, they should be searchable too. I’m saying this as someone who has never owned anything from Apple and who generally dislikes the brand.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Can’t not think of Apple who have been doing simple names like this forever. But contrary to this here, it seems to work in the Apple ecosystem because over there things like that mean one thing.

Someone probably wanted to post it somewhere where you can’t see the image in its full height (e.g. Instagram), but cropping it like that required the bubble to be redone.
Not excusable, of course, and disrespectful to the artist - I’m just trying to think of the reasoning.

That’s if you can choose a middle name at all. In many places (including where I am) you only get to choose the given name, then the middle name is for example the father’s, and the last name is the family name.
