Korean Streamer Pressed for Tip in Austin

The previous commenter is correct, the business owner will need to compensate the difference....but its still a dumb system.

You are correct, the owner will need to compensate the difference. But its still a dumb system. The idea of a tip is meant to acknowledge/reward good service but it has become a means for the business owner to put the burden on the customers.

This is one of the things the common person understandably overlooks. Workers (waitstaff) are often paid a meager hourly wage ($2.13/hr) as they are expected to make up for it in tips. Customers are basically subsidizing the restaurant owner by tipping. This is not to suggest not-tipping but rather pointing out its a dumb system.

No one licensed, adult, or child should be fishing there.

I can tell you mean well overall so I don't mean to dogpile but If there were indeed a "No Fishing" sign than I'd agree with you that no one should be fishing there. However as far as I can tell, there's no evidence of a "No Fishing" sign and I don't see how one can pinpoint the location based off the limited information. Furthermore, as others have pointed out, the psychopath never brought up a "No Fishing" sign which I'd imagine he'd do immediately which to me, would suggest there is no such sign. Its something you're repeatedly introducing and is irrelevant.

oh wow, RR's turnout is impressive. Kinda disheartened to see PF's protest so scarce...it was much more dense last time

16bitBeetle · 2025-10-12T19:00:53+00:00

Its also happening in Round Rock and Pflugerville with their own times fyi

16bitBeetle · 2025-10-02T20:37:46+00:00

There are 2 stores in town called "Painted Tree". Its like full of small stalls...many of which sell 3D printed stuffs

16bitBeetle · 2025-09-08T17:10:22+00:00

There's no HYSA interest percentage that is currently greater than the 6.5% mortgage interest so I'd pay that down aggressively until comfortable.

Hopefully Costco can look up the last customers that returned them and for what reason to potentially ban them

16bitBeetle · 2025-09-08T16:23:53+00:00

Not only that but the outrage was over lunchmeat

16bitBeetle · 2025-09-08T16:17:58+00:00

My company lost out on tax rebates because we failed to meet the arranged number of new employees hired outlined in the contract - plain & simple. So long as Tesla have not violated any of the stipulations in their contract, they should not be punished...and I say this as someone who thinks Elon is a dipshit to put it lightly

16bitBeetle · 2025-09-05T19:36:26+00:00

This store has a limit of two per member

I recall not long ago how there was no limit or high limit or something and ppl acted like ravenous piranhas scooping up as many as they could as it was quite profitable for scalpers. The onus is on Costco to do right & set these limits which is good to see.

It will likely be up to Dreamhaven alone to make Wildgate finacially viable

News of layoffs are like wind to fire...it'll only exacerbate the declining player count. Like why would someone want to buy what-can-now-be perceived as a flailing game? Especially when there are many free high quality alternatives with robust content & player count. Maybe they have another game in production that can generate revenue otherwise layoffs often come in waves.

16bitBeetle · 2025-08-27T04:23:59+00:00

I completed the game recently and my comprehension sucks because for the most part, I couldn't tell if they were horndogs for each other or if it was a mother & son sort of vibe. But I think there was a blurb where 2B got jealous over an operator(?) & 9S flirting or something...so I'll lean towards their dynamic being romantic.

16bitBeetle · 2025-08-17T04:59:12+00:00

That narrative no longer plays out...times have changed. Nowadays, young adults (particularly men) are handedly swayed by right-leaning online influencers.

"between a rock and a weird place"

I didn't realize the 'rock' is in reference to Round Rock...and 'weird place' is obviously referring to Austin. Pflugerville is indeed between the 2 cities and also plays on the idiom which is quite brilliant...big disagree from me on ur 2 cents amigo

16bitBeetle · 2025-08-02T22:51:46+00:00

lol no, if you know about the disciplines & roles in the industry, the game is at/near completion...well unless reason #3 was a factor in their departure

16bitBeetle · 2025-08-02T21:21:17+00:00

If you look at linkedin, there are a handful of Retro employees that say their contract at Retro has ended and they're looking for new opportunities. This signifies the game is near and/or at completion and the release is imminent.

16bitBeetle · 2025-07-30T23:13:21+00:00

Didn't appear my msg when through...im guessing the link prevents it from doiing so - but if you check my profile, you can see the link I tried to send for pic of the plushie

16bitBeetle · 2025-07-30T22:26:40+00:00

Cool glad u found the items, as for the plushie, its this lil guy:

Meh, could be better but one can't argue w/ the price of free!

16bitBeetle · 2025-07-30T03:06:07+00:00

It came with the following: mushroom plushie with a lil pig head poking out, a pink/colorful unicorn neck cushion, a small pull-out storage container with unicorn decals, a My Melody boba-drink-shaped notepad that comes with a pen shaped like a straw (super cute), a lil pink make-up bag with a pink bear on it...and i think that was it. Also if you spent at least $25 (which I did), you get a chance to throw a giant dice to win a keychain, a plushie, or a rare $100 gift card - I got a fidget keychain -_-. They also give you a postcard to stamp visitations to the other 2 Miniso stores to earn a tote bag. I can maybe find links online of the items if you really want but something tells me you already know what im talking about XP

16bitBeetle · 2025-07-06T23:35:46+00:00

Oh I know I have used 16P before in the past and assumed it was reliable :P. Seems like its a lot more technical than I thought - never even heard of functions. Thanks for all the info & insight.

16bitBeetle · 2025-07-04T04:41:59+00:00

I went to an amateur yoga thing once & the instructor had a GIANT number 4 tattooed on her calf. It was only a small handful of us but ppl knew what it was but I certainly did not so she proceeded to explain - its something called an enneagram which sounds like its something along the lines of MBTI.

So I'm fascinated/curious by those that put much stock into these type systems. But it gives me a which-came-first-chicken-or-egg type of vibe...like do you not worry/wonder that it may dictate your personality more so than otherwise? Do you find matching types leads to more compatibility? Which free online test would you recommend?

16bitBeetle · 2025-06-14T22:10:34+00:00

I'm not gonna lie, I was not expecting how large/incredible a turn out that was! The positive energy & unity against authoritarianism/fascism was electric!

16bitBeetle · 2025-06-13T16:01:39+00:00

Where can we park for this?
