Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!

I was just thinking that I wasn’t sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred

Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb

I grew up on a farm and this was the ultimate defense against geese.

They are much lighter than you, so if you can get them off the ground (neck or feet ideally) they can’t do anything

Good point, it did mention US in the title

I’m going to guess you mean New Hampshire in the USA?

Depends on the country though as well. Its probably pretty easy to figure out for big ones like the USA, but in smaller countries its often a mess…

Honestly, I know you mean we’ll but I find statements like this extremely dangerous and damaging.

There isn’t some ‘international council of men’ that could collectively sort anything out. Ideas like blaming the whole gender is part of the reason why we have a rise in far-right sentiment among young men, as it’s easy to feel like the world is against you for things that you personally have no say in. Young men (just like anyone else) need support, and not to be blamed for bad-behavior of others!

Instead it’s up to those of us (the vast majority) who don’t represent toxic masculinity to set a compassionate example

I use it to run the Sky App to stream football.

The only options are a windows app or an android app (since you can’t watch in the browser) and I couldn’t get the windows app to work with WINE.

The android app runs fairly well with waydroid, although it occasionally runs into some hiccups.

My most recent issue with Bluez is that it’s been very inconsistent about letting me disable auto-switching to HSP/HFP (headset mode) when joining any sort of call.

It’s working now, but it feels like every few months I need to try a different solution.

I loved the books and found the netflix series to be a pretty enjoyable westernization of them.

There were a few changes/choices that were a bit strange or missed the point, but overall it’s worth watching

That’s such a good point. I really appreciated how it wasn’t scared to let viewers figure things out.

That’s true for the US but not everywhere else

Ah, no in europe where I live is fairly normal for rail service to small villages even.

Unless you are near a train stop when it skyrockets

Small towns built around a train station are absolutely lovely though

Basically just further proof that car traffic doesn’t scale well. It’s just an incredibly space inefficient way to get around.

This just seems like more work for him!

As a fan of both tofu and basically anything fermented…this sounds great!

Or they could have been kitchen-staff. They are one of the biggest victims of tipping culture.

Essentially chefs are generally paid much, much less than wait-staff and it is very difficult to correct this balance. The reason is that in a normal business you would raise prices to afford to pay higher salaries, but since tips are percentage based this also raises the wages of wait-staff. This becomes a bigger and bigger issue the higher the tipping percentage goes. Restaurant margins tend to be razor thin as well, so raising prices would be the only way to raise kitchen-staff wages.

It’s one reason why many restaurants are struggling to find kitchen-staff, because even highly trained chefs can make 2-3 times as much working front-of-house. There are quite a few restaurants which are trying to fix this by banning tips, but it’s difficult due to resistance from customers and wait-staff.

Are you English speaking by any chance? In Germany I often notice that the waiters act totally differently whenever my American parents are visiting than when I’m just out with friends and speaking German.

With Germans they just show up with the card reader and we pay one by one; often people will ask to round up their bill to the nearest Euro but it’s not expected.

With my parents (or other Americans that have visited me) they often act like American waiters and bring the bill and then kind of hover next to us and wait for us to initiate what we want to do next. I think they’ve learned that most Americans will assume ‘this is the part where we work out how much tip to give’ and the waiters often end up with a (for German standards) gigantic tip. At least this always works with my parents since ‘we feel bad not tipping!’
