Just curious what’s your setup?

Those are laws. If you want a law that bans tipping and assures a higher wage for waiters then sure, that’s fine, but boycotting businesses won’t get those laws made.

If no one is going there and they don’t know why, and they’re losing money because they’re not getting enough business, they’re not going to decide the solution is to start paying their waiters more. That will just cause them to close down sooner.

Also, just as they don’t know why people stopped going there unless every single one calls them and makes it clear it’s due to tipping/wages, the people protesting aren’t going to know even if they do start paying the waiters more.

Almost every waiter I’ve ever spoken to also prefers tipping because they make more than if they were being paid more, because the business isn’t going to pay them as high as they were making in tips (on average).

The only way they even could, is if they raised the price of everything by 25%. As much as people say they’d be fine with that, such high prices would drive some number of people away. There’s also the issue that if the business owner realised people would pay that much higher, they’d inevitably keep some for themselves and only somewhat increase server wages.

This isn’t to say that I think avoiding tipping is the way to fix it either, just that I don’t think it’s as clear cut as just avoiding the business.

No idea but just use email schedule send to yourself. No need to rely on something that might stop working then, unless you use some dodgy email that’s likely to close down.

So, if you use it properly. Just like you wouldn’t use a fork for soup despite it being a utensil and food. Using a tool for what it’s good at and avoiding using it for things it’s bad at is part of using it properly.

Well unless I’m wrong I don’t think it claims to be actual silver. I think it’s just plastic.

YouTube Shorts Normal Player

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I instead installed an extension to force shorts to play as normal videos. Some channels have shorts worth watching (imo), but this prevents endless scrolling through short after short, I have to intentionally choose to watch them by clicking on the specific thumbnail, every time.

I find it a decent compromise.

I’m not in USA but if there are 2 movie style bad guys and 1 says pick me I’ll kill strangers, and 2 says pick me I’ll kill strangers and your friends and family, maybe you as well, and then some random 3rd guy says, pick me or no one and I won’t kill anyone, but one of those 2 bad guys will be picked for you via a coin flip, but at least you get to feel good that you didn’t personally pick the death of people, it’s not illogical to pick the first one.

Maybe you have such good morals you can pick the 3rd or refuse to pick at the expense of possibly additional people you care about, or maybe you don’t personally have anyone in your life that would be affected by the 2nd bad guy so it doesn’t matter to you, but if that’s the case, you’re equally guilty of choosing the choice that makes you feel good just because you don’t have to deal with the consequences of your choice and can ignore what’s actually happening.

But if you’re dropping them at the same time right next to each other, the earth is so large they would functionally be one object and pull the earth at the same combined acceleration.

I do stremio + torrentio addon + real Debrid.

Interface and features on par with any modern streaming service (continue watching, new episode alerts, library, categories, search etc), every show and movie all in one app, full speed, no need for VPN or worry about seeds (I’ve found shows with 0 seeds that work because it was cached on real Debrid) for $3/month.

Also supports a ton of devices/TV’s. Dead simple to use once it’s set-up, my parents and in laws both use it with no issue on Chromecast with Google TV after I set it up for them.

Oh and if you don’t want to pay you can forget real Debrid and it’ll still stream torrents at the cost of slightly worse loading times (but entirely usable, I did it for 3 years) but if you live somewhere that you feel the need to use a VPN for that, unless you also use the VPN for something else putting that money into real Debrid instead is worth it.

Works for me.

World’s tiniest Fukuyama Castle model – the size of a strand of hair – created in Japan April 10, 2022 (Mainichi Japan)

A 1/170,000-scale model of Fukuyama Castle is seen in this photo provided by Castem Co. The 0.217-millimeter miniature model is almost as narrow as a strand of hair, left.

FUKUYAMA, Hiroshima – Tiny enough to sit on a strand of hair but with the same elaborate exterior design is a 0.217-millimeter model of Fukuyama Castle, all but invisible to the naked eye, made by a precision metal parts manufacturer in this western Japan city.

(Mainichi/Shinji Kanto) Fukuyama Mayor Naoki Edahiro, foreground, is seen looking at the miniature model of Fukuyama Castle under a microscope at Fukuyama City Hall in Hiroshima Prefecture. (Mainichi/Shinji Kanto) Castem Co. in Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, created the miniature model on a scale of 1/170,000 of the actual castle tower, which measures 33.5 meters high, using a special 3D printer in cooperation with Kyoto University of Advanced Science in the city of Kyoto.

Yuki Toda, 34-year-old general manager of the company’s new business division, explained, “We infused manufacturing’s playful side into the world’s smallest model of Fukuyama Castle.”

Castem boasts advanced metal casting and fine processing technology, and has used 3D data to reproduce stainless steel models of paper cranes folded by the late Sadako Sasaki, who was exposed to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. It also made a 1/250-scale Fukuyama Castle key chain.

For about the past two years, the company has been working together with Kyoto University of Advanced Science to develop technology in the fields of 3D scanning and materials, and produce medical supplies.

The miniature Fukuyama Castle model was made to be about the same size as the thickness of a strand of hair using the university’s 3D printer and special resin, and its surface was coated with platinum. When looking at the model under a microscope, it is evident each of the tiles and the stone walls have been precisely crafted.

If the material is processed further, it is apparently possible to reproduce Fukuyama Castle with a height of 0.2 micrometers, which is 1,000 times smaller than the current miniature model. Fukuyama Mayor Naoki Edahiro looked impressed after observing the model under a microscope and said, “It is encouraging to see the display of Fukuyama’s high-level technology. I want to exhibit it at Fukuyama Castle Museum, which will open following renovation 400 years after the castle was built.”

Yeah I read one, was about to click away and decided to look at one more and it was yours. Thanks for pulling me back to reality, off I go.
