Reply to comment by Pinbrawler in How do I resolve a ceiling fan and light fixture that are controlled by same switches. by Madams135

Yeah, back a few years ago I was looking to upgrade some ceiling fan/lights in my house and noticed hunter has an all around shockingly limited selection! They’re a great brand, but they seriously need to catch up selection-wise. Ones I’ve seen doing home renovations are pretty badass and there’s ones that u can attach the remote to, so it’s easy to put somewhere to keep up with it when you leave the room, then grab it back off the switch when you come into the room

Reply to My friends do jot tip when we go out. (M25) (M25) (M25) by hiphopbulldozer

> Other than this my friends are pretty good people

I have a hard time believing this if they use the tiniest reasons to not tip very hard-working service staff. I mean, this alone makes them by definition bad people, full stop.

Advice? Tell them you will no longer go out with them. That's what I'd do, I would not be able to be associated with that, it's so insanely disrespectful of someone that relies on you, especially larger parties, to pay their damn rent. And you're a damn saint for covering the difference, you should stop though, this isn't your responsibility.

Almost all problems servers have are not their fault, they are usually just the "messenger":

  • they aren't responsible for bad food
  • they aren't responsible for food that is late
  • they aren't responsible for bad management

I find it's quite rare that i can attribute a problem in a restaurant to a server

Reply to ELI5: Why are off-road capable vehicles so often “Boxy?” by [deleted]

The box shape provides more interior room to hold things, especially if you're spending many days outdoors. The roof is flat so you can put more things on top. Lastly, the shape helps prevent the vehicle from rolling onto the roof like an upside down turtle.

There are downsides however. A box is not aerodynamic so the mileage is poor. At high speeds, the air hitting the box is loud. Mileage is getting regulated by countries for new cars. Comfort is what people are interested in for a daily driving car.

Reply to What are some racist assumptions people have made about you throughout your life? by OperaGhostAD

That I speak Spanish because I am Hispanic.

In college, in the late 90s, I was once criticized for majoring in engineering instead of Chicano studies. By a milk-white blond kid. At UC Berkeley. WTF was I going to do with a Chicano studies degree? It was so far off of my radar I laughed in his face. I wanted a J-O-B when I graduated.
