It's an option for if you called them for refills, since you requesr refills via staff instead of the touchscreen.

Won't lie, I go to Kura almost weekly. Absolutely love it. I spend about the same I normally do at a regular sushi place, but I can get a lot more variety.

We just got water, and water refills were handled by the robot (just got more cups*).

Non alcoholic drinks come by robot, if you order sake an actual person comes to make sure you are of drinking age.

Okay but no one except the host was with us, who sat us and explained how everything worked. So idk wtf Im tipping for.

Anywho, I tipped only 10%.

How do those places know how much to charge you?

Like if you are getting it off a conveyor belt, how do they total up your bill?

Theres a plate counter. Each plate costs a flat fee. You can also use the tablet to order specialty items which have varying costs, and when you order the speciality item, it comes from a separate express conveyor belt.

Just because theres a tip prompt on the one-size-fits-all restaurant software doesnt mean you should leave a tip.

Nah, this place uses their own software for sure.

The people that made the food, obviously.

Isnt tipping for front of staff not back?

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, a national chain. First time there. It was a pretty neat experience, where sushi came on conveyor belts and you just pick out what you want, and any drinks you order comes delivered by like a roomba robot.

When checking out on the tablet by the table, there was a tip option. What the fuck am I tipping for here? The robot?

Alan spent his entire childhood afraid of confronting his fears, his father being one of them. The entire idea of Van Pelt is that he has to stop running from confrontation and face it.

Right. Thematically, this makes sense. Had no idea though they were the same actors when I watched this as a child.

Just like how captain hook in Peter pan is traditionally played by the Wendys' dad, same thing

I don't even remember Wendy's dad in Captain Hook.

...the father?! I never noticed this when I watched this movie as a child.

It tastes awful to me, like metallic or something. Same with Aquafina.

Its a common tactic. They think youre desperate to sell it and theyre already there might as well sell it to them

But like whats with the theatrics of actually driving off and then coming back? Did he expect me to run after him?

I put up a gaming wheel and stand combo for $120. After like a week, a real guy finally shows up. He says he only brought $80 cash and thats all hes willing to pay. Im like no, you said $120 is good over text. Hes like Im here, let me just get it. After a few minutes, he says he happened to find an extra $20 bill, and if Im willing to take $100. I said no, and he started to get really frustrated. He actually left empty handed then drove back like not even 2 minutes later and said he found another extra $20 bill and he took it for $120.

What the hell was that about?

Because he will send his KGB buddies after you if you don't wait the entire hour for him right where he tells you to wait.

Psh, like they would kill a world leader.

Putin is notorious for being late to show dominance. Sometimes, hes even 4 hours late, like with Merkel for a lunch. If you were a world power leader and knew this, why not just set the meeting time at 3pm and just show up at 5pm?

Recently watched it and I had no idea what was going on and thought it was extremely boring. Heres what I got out of it-
Humans from a city is doing their human stuff and destroying habitats. Some boar gets angry and attacks a nearby town. The main character manages to kill the boar, but gets his arm demonized. The town kicks the MC out. The MC goes to the city. Some girl raised by the wolves hate humans and attacks the city, with the purpose to kill the citys leader, but gets hurt. The MC carries the girl to the wolves.

A lot of boring shit happens where the MC learns more about the girl. Eventually, the city wants to kill this weird looking deer. They succeed and manage to cut its head off. The headless deer now becomes this 500ft tall gooey headless humanoid that literally shits black goo on everything everywhere it goes- this black goo kills everything it touches.

The MC and the girl brings the headless gooey humanoid its weird deer head back, and the deer goes away. The MC gets cured of all ailments too for some reason. Finally, the town is thankful to the MC and the girl, and promises to suppress the human instinct for expansion. The MC stays with the humans, the girl goes back with the wolves, instead of both of them staying together and fucking or something, because clearly they have feelings for each other.

What is the point of all this? What even was the deer thing?

Curious what the letter actually says, are they denying coverage in case it falls over or something?

Theyre denying renewal (due in a couple of months) unless I trim the tree thats overhanging over my pool. Its very simple like that. The rest of it is my thoughts (as in I think trimming the large amount of overhang will just end up killing this tree).

The letter says that during a recent audit when they visited my house, they found a tree is overhanging too much into my property, and they fear that it may cause damage to my property. The tree is my neighbors tree.

Now, I know that legally, I can just go chop off all the branches that are overhanging into my property, but this tree is such that its growing at an angle such that more than half of it is actually over my property (despite the fact that the trunk base is on my neighbors property). Cutting all these branches might actually kill this tree.

So what am I supposed to do? Just ask my neighbor if I can pay for the removal of the entire tree, or I will essentially kill his tree by cutting the branches that are over into my property?

Its called mother glass- they make glass for the TV thats a standard size, and cut smaller TV screens from it. To be as efficient as possible, they dont make certain sizes-

Not really. Does amazon actually ban households for breaking tos?

Yes they do. Especially those who return too much stuff.

TuxedoCyan posted...

both.

Arent you afraid Amazon will ban your household?

My family does this with amazon prime 30 day free trials.

Like for free shipping or for videos?

I found my local car wash chain offers one free car wash for new customers that sign up for a rewards account. I found that the + gmail trick works, and the system sees it as a new account, and provides a QR code for a free wash. So I can stack this every time I need a car wash, and just get free car washes until they stop this promo.

Is this a victimless crime?

Stuff like this infuriates me. What calms me down is the fact that its NYC doing this with their own budget and not any of federal funding.

He always seems to be overacting.

Makes no sense that there's some hidden world where only high school teenagers can get into, fight and kill all sorts of grotesque monsters that look like penises, and then just carry on the next day with no physical nor mental trauma at school, all while using fake weapons for some reason. Why not at least make the weapons real?

I tape a gift card in a ziploc bag to the underside of the garbage can and make it very obvious something is there with a bright-colored paper. I have cameras on my property, and Ive seen them take it for the past few years now, so it works.

Return it and exchange it for a new one.

Obviously you are not expected to tip technicians, like plumbers, painters, HVAC techs, etc. who come to your house to fix stuff.

You should tip people who deliver furniture or other heavy items where they deliver into your home at a room of choice, right?

You should also tip, during the holidays: baby/pet sitters, cleaners, garbage men, and mailman. Right?

What point are you even trying to make?

The first guy interviewed said this was happening, and the interviewer sounded doubtful and asked where is it happening, to which the first guy says Google it. Im simply pointing out what the first guy said is actually true.

I mean the self-segregation of black people thing is actually real-
