That's why I assumed it wasn't a very good comparison. But I guess you have a point where you have sudden labor cost increases I suppose, not really what I was looking for. But you knew that. Heh

I don't think those two scenarios are comparable just because of the nature of the industries. Could be wrong though, but I'm hesitant to compare the service/restaurant industry to the banking industry and the effects of regulations.

This is wrong. The margin in the restaurant business (not alcohol) is incredibly thin. Shifts in the food supply (milk, cheese, beef etc.) can ruin a restaurant. Currently if you tip between 15 and 20 percent, you are actually saving money compared to having to pay waiter's a larger hourly wage...

In order to keep the same take home pay (pre-tax) to the waiter, you would have to increase food costs more than the average tip percentage. Not only are you increasing labor costs naturally by shifting payment into a paycheck you are also vastly increasing operational costs of the restaurant...

Explain.

Also this whole "subsidize labor costs" is a stupid argument. It saves you money in the long run. And tax evasion? Really? That pisses you off? Someone making $30k to 40k a year is skipping out on a few extra thousand dollars a year and you're butthurt on that? I'd like to be the first...

Name me another business that employs, on average, 10-30 employees per shift that suddenly had to adjust price of products or services to make up $10-15 an hour per employee.

lol, don't you just live in a lovely world.

Payroll taxes for one (unemployment insurance etc.), insurance is another. Then what do you do about raises? Do all waiters make the same amount of money? A great waiter is a true asset to any restaurant. You typically reward them with better shifts, better sections optimizing his income. In the...

How many weeks of a living story do you equate to a 10 man raid zone with 6 bosses or a 20 man with 15? How about a dungeon? New classes? New zone.? I would compare a whole season of living stories about equal with a dungeon or small raid.

You'll have to increase food costs by far more than 15% to match a simple 15%-20% tip.

Another champ I'd like to try but I never did before is Lissandra. How does she fit into the top-meta these days? Seems like some people play her still doing a cursory search around the internets.

I duno, Rift added more content than that. It's like saying WOW adds a ton of content everytime there is a holiday event or darkmoon faire. Or rift added a ton of stuff by adding new styles of Rifts. No other game really added that much 'stuff' over time, because it's really not content, it's...

Paint does wonders for the look of the interior. For a couple bucks, you can really open up things without doing much.

My bro in law only plays ADC. I should play more support with him from time to time. Maybe I'll try Gragas support tonight.

Bruiser Nid is incredibly fun to play out of the top lane with TP. I did not do well with her mid as Hybrid Bruiser, but an AP build she would be better because you would need to do more poke on your spear. I've been trying a few builds with here and haven't settled on anything. IBG is really...

I like the cabinets and counter tops. If I were buying the house, it's the flooring and paint that would need to be changed. That's shit I would expect to do in buying a house that wasn't brand new.

My wife weened our daughter, and it was incredibly easy. Really rough on my wife, but it seemed like my kid did not give a fuck after a day or two. We went from 3 times a day to morning and sometimes in the middle of the day, to just mornings to nothing. My wife does an awesome job feeding my...

Wasn't Kass changed to his current state like 4 patches ago? That should of worked it's way through lolking. But I guess you still have to work him through the system. I just hope Riot keeps releasing new good champs so that the ban list becomes larger. Braum looks like a fun as fuck champ, but...

No worries. I wasn't pissed that I couldn't get Sej to work. I said it wasn't fun to play because the laning phase is awful, because Sej obviously doesn't belong mid. I found it funny because of how ridiculous it was. I enjoyed the two normals I gave to it and I'll never do it again. I didn't...

I've seen some people playing Kassadin in more of a bruiser/melee character and not as much as a mage/assassin type. Small difference is in itemization IBG, Sunfire, Manamune tossed in with other standard AP items. I haven't played Kass in a very long time. I haven't played ranked recently...

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to respond to this post. It's both condescending and an attempt to be helpful however with the assumption that I'm a fucking idiot. I mean in one hand you're telling me how I'm supposed to have fun. A friend mystery gifted me a Sejuani skin and I want to mess...

Man Dmitry, I was a huge GW2 fanboy pre-launch and really enjoyed the game when it came out. But you can't defend the Arenanet against the charges of lack of content. The Story Line shit is nothing special and it amounts to 5 new daily quests every few weeks. It's really nice that they are...

So I played Sej last night AP mid. How some kid got to D1 playing that I have no idea. Shit is not fun. It was funny though.

what is this game

Go buy some games on steam.

New flooring and tile is easy to do in a new home. You can easily get people in there to do the work for you. Popcorn ceilings are a bitch though.

That should be a clue to play another game for a little while.

Outside of starting a family and all the mushy stuff, the only good thing a preggo wife is good for is being the DD.

Nice house. Not really much you can do. I don't consider that poor interior. Then again, I don't know what the comps are in the area. But that looks just fine to me. The only other thing I can notice is that there really isn't any finishing details in the house. No trim/window casings. No...

I've never done it, but I've seen it done before. You'll need to scrape, possibly respackle in places, and then repaint. If you want, you can post some pictures of some of the main rooms (living room, kitchen, dining room) and give you some ideas on how to cheaply update the home.

I'm watching a guy that plays Mid AP Sejuani this morning.Twitch Diamond1, not bad. I love watching goofy shit like this. Kid on the stream is like 15 years old though so make sure you mute the stream and be prepared to watch how a 15 year old serfs the internets.

Women get out of that uber crazy level? It just morphs into another equal level of crazy once kids come along.

The window has no casing, only a stool and apron, hence the project!

Yeah, I'm they're keeping the story fresh. Even thought the show is pretty awesome, and well written and the characters are great to watch, another season of Mike being in love with hit hottie girlfriend going to school would just be boring.

I watched this last week when I was sick. Awesome show.

I haven't taken anything out yet. It was a cursory glance. Might end up being easy.

Me and the wife never really fight about somewhere to go out to eat. I'm easy, I don't care where we go as long as I can get a few beers. The last two nights me and the wife got out to eat we got into the car (kid free!) and realized we didn't know where we were going. Was kind of funny.

Tuco leveled to 80 strictly running WvW mules back in the day.

To keep things simple, you can't compare these things at all. In a large, busy restaurant you may have something like 20 waiters, 3 bus boys, 3 bartenders, 2 food runners, and maybe 5-8 cooks working the line. When you compare these people with amounts of work, who are you comparing? The highest...
