I installed Linux mint on my laptop the other day because of various sustained long term annoyances with Windows. Despite some minor hiccups it only took about 30 minutes. It's been such a great experience so far.

I tip and tip well when I patronize these businesses. You seem to defend the business owners while placing all the blame on this fictional group of people that are gleefully "fucking over wait staff." Also your tone is really hostile and confrontational.

You're assuming that it's my responsibility to directly pay these people's wages. I do but it's a dumb argument that I disagree with. "let the businesses close and new ones open with better practices" is tantamount to saying "let these people find better jobs that don't rely on tips to make a somewhat livable wage."

I get what you're saying and I still begrudgingly tip every time unless the service is terrible which is rare. But if people boycott these businesses instead of going and not tipping wouldn't that be just as bad if not worse for service workers than not tipping at all?

For example, if 80 percent of the people who regularly patronize restaurants stopped going, wouldn't a lot of these businesses close resulting in these people losing their jobs entirely? It's not a likely scenario but it's an interesting thought experiment.

About 90 percent of my nostalgia is reserved for Halo. GD I miss those days.

If you live near a Costco you can get socks and underwear relatively cheap. I think the last time I bought a six pack of boxer briefs it was like 10-12 bucks

My wife and I had to have her 2013 Nissan rogue transmission replaced last year which cost $7k, so I disagree on your point about reliability. -___-

In all seriousness though, I always had the impression that Nissan was known for being the least reliable of the big 3: Toyota, Nissan, Honda

Anecdotal, and I agree with you overall, but I hit the gym hard (2-3 hour jiu jitsu/MMA sessions) 4 times a week for 3 months and lost 18 lbs. I didn't change my diet at all, though I will admit it's possible I ended up eating less overall. But my point is I think exercise can definitely be a pretty good weight loss tool if you're working your ass off. Just depends on the amount of exercise and the intensity etc.

Glad to see an opinion about this movie I agree with for once. It really started to meander and then ended up being so lame and anticlimactic.

At the AMC near me it's $15 for a large popcorn and drink with unlimited refills. Not horrible since my wife and I share. But I only go like once or twice a year if there is a movie we want to see enough to make a night of it. The nostalgia of being in a theatre is pretty much worth it alone for me. It's a pretty good time.
