TROPHY CASE

(Spoilers ALL) Wyman Manderly, the Lord of White Harbor by ultnessin asoiaf

[–]CubanB 4 points5 points ago

Stannis is pretty reasonable, and was prepared to put Jon Snow on the throne of Winterfell. It seems likely he'd put "Arya" or Rickon or another Stark on there.

Activate Video Recording Remotely, probably better ways to do this but it works by CubanBin tasker

Does it register Google voice texts? Because this phone has no voice plan.

I uninstalled it because my Droid 1 was so damn buddy anyway, Tasker tasks just weren't happening reliabley. On my Nexus Prime it's been great.

One cool one, I have mine set up so that it turns on wifi and blutooth when I'm connected to one of the cell towers near my house, and turn off when I leave. This way my wifi isn't trying to connect all the time, but I don't have to remember to turn it off when I leave, or on when I'm home. And I use a blutooth headset at home, that I also usually forget to turn on until someone calls.

A couple others, M-F from 8:30 - 5:30 my ringer goes to silent, back up to full volume at 5:30.

When I plug in my headphones it launches Google Music.

When I'm playing Draw Something the screen timeout goes to five minutes.

If I connect my OG Droid via USB it launches an app that starts playing video right away, so if someone were to turn on my PC when I'm not home it would record them discreetly.

Yeah, there are rarely any clear, "now click the + sign, give your profile a name, then click..." sort of tutorials.

Tennessee Man loses $22,000 to cops. No charges filed, no arrest made. "If somebody told me this happened to them, I absolutely would not believe this could happen in America." That was the reaction of a New Jersey man who found out just how risky it can be to carry cash through Tennessee. by Mind_Virusin politics

Don't bother, the Chamber of Commerce is not a government entity, it's just meant to sound like it is. It's a pro-business lobbying group. Go with DrVoodoo's suggestion above.

Never give them more info than needed, it can come back to haunt you later. As someone mentioned below, if you were to say it's your birthday, and then the officer notices on your license that it's not, then you've just incriminated yourself. Just tell them you don't want them to search your car.

Opinion peice on Why Porn Turns Men Off the Real Thing by lpfaderin SexPositive

Oh yes, before widely available porn women were enjoying satisfying, emotionally fulfilling sex all the time.

My best friend had sex with a girl that I have feelings for. I feel like crawling into a hole and dying. RA can you please work your magic... by justincasethrowaway1in relationship_advice

[–]CubanB 1 point2 points ago

If his friend knew that OP liked her but was too scared to do anything about it, he shouldn't have hooked up with her. There's a lot of good advice for OP in this thread, but I don't blame him for being pissed at his friend. If I knew a friend was into a girl, I wouldn't sleep with her, whether or not he'd managed to get the nerve up to make a move yet.

Is France really hated in the USA ? by SThorin AskReddit

[–]CubanB 1 point2 points ago

I've had the same experience with Israelis in South and Central America. Just kind of pricks: rude, demanding, haggling over everything, even really cheap things, and generally unpleasant. Maybe it's selection bias, but I haven't had a great experience with them.

Waiters/waitress of Reddit, what kind of people never tip? by mohsenwebcomin AskReddit

[–]CubanB 0 points1 point ago

hahahahaha, I too was convinced that I would break the stereotype. Leaving money on the table (figuratively) on principle gets tiring after awhile.

Food is not much cheaper now, and alcohol is definitely not cheaper now. The 20% thing comes from the service industry pushing it as the new normal (can't really blame them), and what I would call the stickiness of higher tip rates. When some people start tipping higher, other people tend to follow along, whether for moral reasons or just to appear more wealthy; it doesn't hurt to look generous, especially when it only costs you a dollar or two more. It doesn't work in reverse: someone who makes a habit of stiffing the bartender doesn't win a lot of friends, nor do many people follow his lead.

It's the same way with wages: you can give people a raise in good times, but it's much harder to give them a pay cut in bad. It's usually just easier to fire someone. Some economists would say this is the main reason we have inflation. Sticky wages mean the cost of labor only goes up, so the price of everything else has to go up with it.

Nope, servers, bartenders, and much of the service industry get a bullshit minimum wage because they mostly work on tips. If your tips at the end of the night don't work to be minimum wage the restaurant is supposed to make up the difference, but it never happens. The restaurant doesn't spend time checking to make sure everyone made minimum wage, and if you ask for it you'll just stop getting shifts. That's how people often get fired in restaurants, they just find they're getting fewer and fewer shifts. They don't need a particular reason to give you less shifts, and usually people will just go elsewhere rather than fight for shifts, so the restaurant gets rid of a troublesome employee without having to worry about getting sued.

I think this is a fair complaint, if she's saying 18% is high. The minimum tip for satisfactory service is 15%. If you're in a nicer restaurant a little more is customary, but only (IMO) because the service should be better, and I never have begrudged a 15% tip from a table. In recent years more and more servers and bartenders seem to expect 18% to 20%, and although that's usually what I tip, I refuse to accept that this is the new expected rate, especially when the only justification I hear for this change is inflation. Inflation does not account for a larger percentage, everything costs more, including my meal, so you shouldn't need a higher rate.

I want to teach English in Shanghai but have no experience. With CELTA, do I have a chance of getting a job there? by CubanBin TEFL

[–]CubanB[S] 0 points1 point ago

I've read that the schools in Shanghai require experience, that I'll need more than a degree and some sort of certification.
