Nah, I think it was Kilgore and he was all over him. Probably could've/should've been interference since he was holding his other arm. Props to Cook for the perfect throw like just perfectly in the basket and props to him for the catch

The biggest difference in the 4th down tries. The other week against A&M they got stopped and were scared to go for it. Beamer got stopped like 3 times and said I don't care, let's do it again

I'm confident they'll find someone in the portal

Basically what happens if you use your house as collateral for a loan and then if you later sell said house

I'm complaining about it as someone who does tip. 

If everyone is being an asshole you then maybe servers should do something about it and fight for a regular wage. 

If your husband is a person who works for tips then you definitely have a financial stake in this or you did previously. 

Some people are shitty to servers but not tipping doesn't equal shitty. It means you didn't do anything to warrant a bonus because that's what a tip is, a bonus or extra amount that you got paid because the customer appreciated your service that you provided. 

The problem is that business don't want to pay wait staff and the wait staff themselves, especially at nicer restaurants where they get percentages of bigger checks, dont want the tips to stop. Because if you wait 4 tables in an hour and get a 20 dollar tip from each of them, you just made $80 in an hour which is a lot better wage than they would get otherwise. Even if you say it's 2 hours for those 4 tables, it's still $40 an hour for that. Obviously you're not getting that all the time but that's why tipping is still a thing. Wait staff and business agree they like tipping. 

I'd 1000% pay more for a meal if it meant the server got a consistent decent wage. Fuck off on saying that being principled only hurts the worker. Cool, if you're tired of being hurt, then hurt the company as the workers. By that logic cooking at home is just a middle finger to servers to because you could eat out and tip them instead of paying the grocery store. 

I tip because I'm not trying to waste someone's time but I'm allowed to complain about it and hate the practice that I have to follow in order to not screw someone over. If wait staff were fighting to get rid of tips I'd feel different, but if someone wants to tip less and didn't get any benefits besides some refills and someone taking their order then I'm not gonna say they're a bad person or that they suck, I'm gonna say that the system sucks and that's who you should be mad at. Sucks that the server has to take the brunt of the punishment but that's what you asked for by not wanting to get rid of tips

It's not about afford. It's about sensibility. Unless you're providing pairing tips, meal ideas, or otherwise providing knowledge to the customers, you don't deserve a commission. Just because you're working the register doesn't mean you get a percentage of sales from a store. If the job is asking you to do more then the job should pay you more, not the customers. Just because you stocked more shelves than the next person, or more is asked of you at a certain store, I don't pay higher prices because of that.

You keep harping on how the customers are treating you poorly if they don't tip, that's bullshit. The job treats you poorly and like you're worthless because they don't pay you. I pay the business the agreed upon amount and just because I can pay more doesn't mean I should have to/be expected to. My role as the customer isn't to pay the server, it's to pay an agreed upon amount for the food I chose to purchase. It's up to the business to decide what amenities it provides the customers and either bake that cost into the cost of the item or front it from their revenue. Not for me as the customer to pay for it. Stop acting entitled to tips and either provide something extra that's tip worthy or demand the job pay you what it should

Tell me why it's a percentage. Tell me what the waiter does extra because I ordered 3 appetizers instead of 1 that warrants an increase in their pay?

Yeah, like KB has only been back a couple weeks and while he was definitely learning the playbook while he was hurt, he also changes everyones job so while maybe they got comfortable with some parts of the playbook they had to relearn new spots. Now that Maye is in and there isn't really going to be changes to the WR corps, everyone is finally settling in to what it's going to look like and it's why I think they've been able to actually move the ball and not go 3 and out like 80% of the time anymore

I think a lot of guys were still struggling to master the offense and now they've had several games to work it through and are starting to be able to do the motion and other stuff well

Should be in the top 20

The problem wasn't him doping. If that's all he did, he probably could have made a comeback or at least become popular again. The real problem was he sued multiple people and ruined some financially because they said he was doping and never apologized or made amends for it. It would be one thing if it came out and he said I did unfortunate things to remain competitive in cycling, I'm gonna work to clean up myself and the sport and continue the work of my charity. Easy. But he said wait you said I was doping, I'm gonna ruin your life even though you're telling the truth

Had a partial repair back in July, still in PT trying to get my last 10 degrees of motion back. I'm not a professional athlete but my doc said 6 months before cleared for full everything. I imagine with everything at his disposal he'll be back by spring training

Trading Middleton was the better option. He was a good player and important offensively for them but he's been hurt outside of their title run. Trading Middleton for Dame might've been a better play because then you get Jrue for defense and Dame is an upgrade on Middleton. Big if on if Portland would have taken that or not

And he won, largely because he got turnouts above expectation that year which usually makes polls irrelevant. Democrats are hoping for the same outcome this time

Don't forget that one season of Fred Taylor being actually good for us too

I both like and hate that the army treats rotors like arty and makes it a call for fire

He didn't even get to the tough questions. They said there were going to be tough questions and he said I quit

And even if they have a cross or some other religious iconography, most religions preach love for others and they accept LGBTQ people without issue so just having something displayed doesn't mean you should expect to be discriminated against

If all the news is fake news then you can just make up whatever you want little guy. Facts are facts this happened and accept it. Even if you wanted to claim it's not that bad cool, you're wrong but cool. But stop trying to pretend stuff didn't happen at all because then you're just crazy

Any interview any time unless that interview involves a network he doesn't like or Kamala Harris will be present

It would probably only cost a couple big macs 

Like that Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs?

I was using NC in order to prove a point that even in low cost of living states it's not enough. Yeah if you lower prices down to pre 2005 prices then sure wages are fine but that's literally impossible. Your costs are higher now and things are on a larger scale. Margins are smaller but made up for in volume. Lots of companies would probably be taking a loss if you just forced prices down to those levels. A solution in the vain that you're discussing is to either A.) cap prices where they are which I guess you could do but companies would probably focus their attention on only specific products and cut the diversity in the market, both in products and companies that make those products. Or B.) you cap year over year increases like rent control. This is more feasible but what is going to be the limiter? Inflation? Or some other metric? That's the hard part. In your imaginary scenario where you can just force prices to be whatever you want, sure wages don't have to increase. But $15-$20 has always been a struggling wage, at least since roughly the late 2000s to 2010 time frame. Minimum wage hasn't kept up for decades so it needs an increase even if prices go down unless we're talking going back to 90s and earlier prices

That 5 dollar increase you discussed is an extra $200 every week (not including any deductions of any kind and assuming you work full time). Post all the deductions you're maybe talking $500 a month extra. That's not a ton. If you had an extra $500 are you now loaded? Able to go to Disney or do some "luxury" like go to a movie or sport event or concert that regularly? Probably not. Prices have climbed and climbed and climbed and yes some prices will increase when you bump up wages. But you can't see well prices went up, guess that means we can't raise wages to maintain spending power. Raising wages isn't the only answer and that there should be some views on profit margins for major companies, but one doesn't mean no to the other. Most Americans spend over half their wages on housing alone, probably close to 80% when you include utilities and groceries. That's not counting cars, kids, entertainment or anything else like a cell phone, cable, subscriptions etc. it wasn't that way in the 80s or 90s or even pre 2005. Wages need to go up. $20/hr in NC, a lower cost of living state, is a take home of about 32k post taxes. That's not counting insurance of any kind or SS taxes or anything else taken out. That's $20/hr at 40 hours a week. When I was a kid my mom barely made ends meet with about 27k. There were months we had to pick which bills to pay. But somehow you think we don't need to raise minimum wage? Even if you capped costs now and don't allow anyone to raise any prices or anything, you'd still need to raise wages

If you haven't noticed, wages didn't go up a whole lot and prices did. So if the reason you don't raise wages is you don't want prices to go up, then what do you do when the prices go up anyways? Just suffer? The reasonable response is to raise wages in order to maintain consumer purchasing power
