Everything aside, I agree with your support sentiment. Having said that, I think the same for pretty much every country that is receiving foreign aid from the US.

Pretty confused by some of the arab white knights in the thread. Do you think any Middle Eastern monarchy and or theocracy will abide by human rights any better than Isreal has???? /boggle I think the theme out there right now is the "lesser of two evils". Anywho, just an observation...

I tip baggers if they take the groceries to the car. Super rare as fuck if that happens though.

Seems to be a theme with my favorite football teams this year (aTm and Texans). We were good, we beat the eventual champions, but we were not good enough to win it all. Looking at next year with more hope.

I am going to throw my hat into the "God hates Ray Lewis" crowd.

LOL "Let's go!"

Fucking Obama

Odds that the power is lost again?

Texans karma

uhhh wth just happened?

Urgo just took avatars up a notch

This is turning into a "say something nice about Keg" thread thread

You make me laugh more than you make me /facepalm

Yea I briefly worked at a restaurant that was owned (at least in part) by the executive chef. The drive was out of the way from where I lived, and while the food pricing was higher, the amount of traffic the restaurant had was inconsistent. This was right before I went to work at Pappasito's...

We should have like run down for people not following posts. I worked in restuarants awhile back. I worked at Pappa's chain (mainly Pappasito's and Pappaduex) for a little over two years where I was averaging around $35-40 PPA. It was good money. The other restaurants where few shit chains...

Was thinking the same, since you know, most of the gross comes in on a Friday and Saturday night. Any restaurant worth a shit has the GM running the line, along with the manager in the kitchen and the quite a few front end managers. Never had a manager who never worked Friday's and Saturday's.

LOL what the fuck restaurant are you working at? I had to tip out based on a percentage of my sales (this went to the bussers, food runners, and bartenders). I never had to tip out based on what my word was. Jesus age christ bro. Stop working at Joe's food stop, and try working at some real...

If it is about budget, sound bars are the way to go. Sometimes they have those mini BluRay + speaker combos on sell at Fry's etc for pretty cheap. That might be an alternative to the sound bar.

I worked as a food and service employee at Six Flags, bagging at a grocery store, military for 4 years, sold cars for about a year, and waited tables for just about 4 years when I finally got out of college and got into the IT field. Waiting tables by far and away was THE worst job I have ever...

haha not sure if this is suppose to make me rage or something. That is like someone telling me I was a really shitty burger flipper

Whatever makes you sleep better at night. I got out of the food industry a long, long time ago. As for how good I was waiting tables through college? You can check my past posts for my thoughts on being a waiter, and why I did it. Something tells me you are full of shit, and tip on average...

Pretty much this. I have a Sony soundbar in the study, and a correctly set up 5.1 in the living room. Not even close. Sound bar is loud? That is about it. 5.1 is a Yamaha receiver with the formerly known as "Speaker Company" speakers, who know own Boston Acoustics, along with Denon etc...

No idea about California law, but basically you are a cheap fuck. Got it. Everyone knows they cover the difference, and everyone in the restaurant business should know being a waiter is not worth minimum wage. I get not tipping for bad service, but stiffing for average service? Hope you are...

Before you post, please clarify you are not from the US. US waiters get below minimum wage, so stiffing a table for average service is bad form, and being a cheap fuck. So much for knowing infinitely more about the subject

Sithes, your problem is you don't articulate or in this case write your opinion very well. Maybe the fact that everyone is arguing with you, but as it turns out agrees with you when you simply say "don't tip shitty service" is a problem with your posts, and not so much a problem with the people...

You guys must be working for low end restaurants, like super low end (IHOP or some such). We never had food sitting on the line, because we had food runners during peak hours, and we had a food line manager barking at the cooks, runners, and waiters to get the food plated correctly, make sure...

truth

Ehhh I waited tables for 4 years, the only shift you got 4 hours on was lunch, and the money sucked. Dinner shift starts at 4pm and ends 10pm weekdays and 11pm weekends. This generally means your last table will get out about 30 minutes to an hour after close, and then you have to spend...

I tip TO GO if they hook me up with some extra's like extra sauce, tortilla's, bread etc., agreed though on tipping TO GO. As a former waiter though, I prefer and approve of self serve restaurants. I still tip well when eating out, I go 20% if the experience goes smoothly, 25-30% if exceptional.

No, just irritated at people who dont know to fucking quote a post. Other than that I am great, how are you? @Sithes - if all you are essentially saying is, tip good waiters good, and poorly tip or dont tip bad waiters, then bro, just say it. No need to get all TLDR with points that dont...

@Sithes Your ignorance about waiting tables is astounding. Seriously, if you guys knew what waiters were judged on, you would be holding this conversation in a different light. Sithes, you say a shoe salesman gets EARNED COMMISSION for upselling you to three shoes instead of two. Guess...

Maybe things are different in Canada, not sure. But a lot of waiters are college students. Has nothing to do with what you just stated (get a HS diploma), maybe you are getting waiters confused with flipping burgers. In general working in the food industry is a hard job with long hours with...

We in the US, are still in the dark ages. Most hotel wifi or wired "Free" internet is teh suck. And honestly, a lot of places have taken away the free part unless you are a certain level of member for said hotel chain. http://www.nbcnews.com/travel/travel...fast-1B8174850

nice

Tuco hit the nail on the head. The price of per GB for SSD drives is dropping dramatically. Pretty soon you will see budget machines starting to ship with SSD because they are price negligible with the more traditional hard drives. Obviously you wont get a 500GB SSD, but you may start seeing...

Nope, hoping on a sequel soon. But with this news, maybe not soon.

Pretty happy about this.

Did you put 2x4's on it?

This may not be news, but I heard that Comcast and Verizon are teaming up to offer FIOS through Comcast. Not sure if this a good thing or bad. Also, I can only pray that Google Fiber will come to Houston some day.

Two questions: What is a ton? And with what OS have you had driver conflicts with? I must say in my going on 6 years of managing a growing PC environment, driver conflicts are EXTREMELY rare (to almost non existent). Just curious. I think the more prevalent issue we have had concerning...
