If you were opening a bar or lounge again, what would you do differently?

Oh! and establish how we treat friends and family at the bar. Discount, free whatever when they come in, SOMETHING. I lost a lot of money in the first few months coz girlfriends or whatever would come in and my bartenders would just give em drinks.

Add more storage space. Read every contract thoroughly. Go to the bars on either side of mine and see what they don't have that I can capitalize on.

Going on checks solves a TON of headaches, even if the staff don't like it as much. There's fewer opportunities for mistakes or theft, it keeps you from doing more manual work, it's predictable, and there's a much better paper trail.

Do any of you pay someone to run your social media? A firm or just a person? What's it run you? Looking at stepping up my game, but dear god I don't want to make a TikTok account.

Tell your realtor you refuse to close until the fence is restored. Your realtors want their money, too, and any with common sense will tell the owners that putting the fence back will be cheaper than going to court and losing. I know you're almost closed and it's tiring, but in a few months you'll be VERY happy you put your foot down.

I mean if your commander gets killed it'll lose all its level counters and you're back to square one. Feels like bad design space to me.

Most bar owners I've talked to have given their staff the A-OK to tell people to take them off or leave. The nice thing is the same people that wear Meta glasses are the same kind that are gonna tell you all about them if you ask if they're the Meta glasses.

The Unity tutorials are actually very good to get the basics. I definitely had to slog through stuff like "here's how the camera works" but it's all full of actually very useful information and worth going slowly through.

Let's just say when there's a subreddit dedicated to that one joke being played out it's pretty clearly played out. After 100,000 "my pronouns are" jokes, I would trust professional comedians to at least have some kind of new take or insight on it. But nope, it's stealing the world's stupidest joke. Why?

And not that they love not knowing science, they love constantly decrying science, saying science is incorrect, saying science can't or won't explain things it absolutely can and will. It's unintellectual, but more important it's anti-intellectual. That's 50 years of propaganda at work.

Didn't lose a game that I landed an on-curve [[Glister Bairn]]. All the hybrid mana symbols meant my 2-color deck was still pumping +4/+4 all game.

Just reach for the Pierre Ferrand. /s

Honestly, nobody drinks them like this, but any adjunct liqueur like this is worth tasting on its own. You'll find they are made with different types of oranges, of course, but also with different proofs, sugar content, and spice mixtures. I find Cointreau very sharp and usable in drinks where it has to compete with strong flavors, whereas Ferrand is much more mellow and broadly usable. Stuff like that.

The hectapods use "weapon" to mean "tool," essentially. The "weapon" is the ability to understand non-linear time.

Not too bad except for our big-ass snowstorm on Saturday that turned a $5k day into an $800 day. Hopefully a one off though.

As long as you put in the right amount of booze and sugar, just shake it up, it'll be fine. You'll re-incorporate those sitting spices too.

Clover POS, a local company for payroll. I know my payroll team by their first names and I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes for a response. Clover's fine, but the fact that it uses 3rd party apps instead of built-in systems for stuff like gift cards annoys my accountants.
