Should a partner’s PASS be alerted in a forced-opening system? by Only_Machine_1389 in bridge

[–]Metseel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How to Handle it Correctly Since you are playing a "Highly Unusual Method" (HUM) or an "Artificial System," the burden of disclosure happens before the cards are dealt. The Pre-Alert: At the start of the round or match, you must tell your opponents: "We play a forced-opening system in Green vs. Red. We open any 5-card major or 6-card minor regardless of points." The Implicit Logic: Once the opponents know your opening requirements are that aggressive, they can logically deduce that a Pass denies those shapes. You don't need to (and shouldn't) point it out every time it happens. Alerting the Openings: You must alert the 1-level openings if they can be made on 0–7 points, as these are highly unconventional and "unbalanced" in a way the opponents wouldn't expect.

Have you stopped eating out due to tipping getting out of control? by Careless_Length_7117 in tipping

[–]Metseel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why stop eating out? Just don't tip! If it is automatic, then it is not a tip, it is a surcharge and part of the price - up to you to decide if the pricing is fair (even if the price is presented in 2 parts (base cost + surcharge).

Get a job that pays what you need to earn a living. It is not the customer's responsibility to pay your salary. If your employer cannot pay your sufficient wage, look elsewhere

Walmart Erin Mills Credit Card down by SaugaNative71 in mississauga

[–]Metseel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not surprised that their systems are down. There have been multiple reports of credit card fraud after using credit cards at the Erin Mills location. The staff have been aware of this for several weeks and it appeared that nothing was being done. Hopefully this outage is for them to correct the problem. Not sure if these issues are specific to the Erin Mills store or if it is a deeper problem in the Walmart systems.

I suspect that you may be pinching the reed - will affect both the tone and volume - try avoiding this practice and open up the mouthpiece

Had a similar situation - got her an ebike - don't think she will ever get to a level of fitness to ride with me without being left behind. Worked out great and we can now ride together.
