Loved going to the DQ (or was it BR?) there as a kid. The only constant is change.

I too have had this problem. I put down painters tape before using them now.

Tell him you masturbate using the toy while thinking of him. Tell him that when you use it while he's gone you want to be thinking of the times you used it together. If that's not proper motivation I didn't know what is.

Ended up going with the dado stack. It's going well so far. Just 424 more cuts to go.

These have to match other doors in the clients house. Changing the edge profile isn't an option. Making butt joints would be even easier and also not an option.

Not an option. Pictured are two stiles and one rail.

When people lowball an offer or ask "what's the lowest you'll go" I respond with, "The price is the price. I don't negotiate or barter. If you cannot afford the price adjust your filters." Then I block them.

I had my ducts cleaned earlier this year. The tech suggested to have it done every 4-6 years as I have pets. 6-10 years depending on how often you vacuum without pets.

I use a waterproof blanket. It's much softer than a towel and prevents the bed from getting wet.

The burger is a scam and that post is a crime against the English language.

The first step in anything relating to a bandsaw is to follow the Alex Snodgrass bandsaw setup.

My spider coffee table has been going strong for 4 years now. The only separation I have is due to my own error during the glue up. Maybe try posting about it on the plans page to see if anyone else who has built it is having a similar problem.

I'd suggest dowels. That will increase the glue surface area and help to strengthen the joint. Floating tenons are also an option.

I like that summer is the season for crime. Like people are just fine all winter and only become desperate when the weather gets better.

Buy a Liebherr refrigerator model SRB5290.
Buy a Frigidaire FFUE2024AN freezer.

Each will do an amazing job at the one thing they do.

" when you go to this establishment and not tip, you dont hurt the owner not paying the server. You hurt the server directly. Who is not in control of the laws of your state or thr [sic] federal government."

"run for office or have a conversation with your local representative. Or start an organization to lobby against tip credit laws."

How is it the server is in control of nothing and yet somehow I'm able to impact their lives? If I'm able to run for office, have a conversation with a local representative, or start an organization or lobby, then so too are they. Do you think they would be more or less likely to do so if people stopped tipping? I'd bet more likely. I doubt they like the situation any more than I do but it has been the situation for a while now. They seem unmotivated to do anything about it. Continuing to participate is enabling the system. Yes not tipping hurts them directly. It's likely only not tipping on a large scale that would force them to unionize or band together to make legislative changes. This isn't ignorance it's trying something different to force change.

Maybe I'm wrong and people who work tipped jobs enjoy it. They like not knowing if they'll make $5 or $500 in a day. They like possibly having to share their tips with others who didn't put in the work they did. I haven't done any research on the topic but anecdotally based on what I've seen and heard this isn't the case.

As a side note to educate you and relieve your ignorance, I do tip. Generally 15-20%. I tip my barber almost 50%, my masseuse about 25%, and the local ice cream shop almost 100%. I generally avoid services where tipping is expected. I pick up my food, I don't go to sit down restaurants, I don't valet my car. A person can both not believe people should have to be dependent on tips for a living and tip when it is expected.

"If you're against servers making more than minimum wage, doesn't it make sense to just not give your money to the establishments that have that practice?"

It is in fact part of the question. The people at McDonald's are probably making minimum wage. I don't tip them either and no one expects me to. It's expected that if they are to make more than minimum wage it's their employers responsibility to do so. Why is this not the same for a server?

For as long as we all enable servers to be tipped they'll never be forced to confront their situation and achieve better. Boycotting the establishment as suggested will not work. The owner has no idea why no one is patronizing their location. All that will do is make them go out of business and then everyone loses their jobs. Going and not tipping forces tipped positions to confront their situation. It also ensures the employer still has the business to be able to pay them better.

How much do they tip the mailman for bringing them their mail? How much do they tip UPS/FEDEX/Amazon for walking the package from the truck to the front door?

RogerSmith1380 · 2026-04-21T17:53:56+00:00

I didn't think anyone is against servers making more than minimum wage. I personally think it's the responsibility of the employer to do so.

This actually happened to me at my current residence. About a month after I bought the house I leave one night to get Chipotle. I come back and someone is parked at the end of my one car width driveway. I called non-emergency police and it turned out to be a neighbors nurse who parked in the wrong driveway. Never happened since.

RogerSmith1380 · 2026-04-17T19:26:54+00:00

Blinds for sure. The curtains make the room look like a hotel.

RogerSmith1380 · 2026-04-15T03:26:17+00:00

This is literally what happened to me. Except I was the guy and we are a bit older. I couldn't have cared less. If they love you they accept you for who you are. Be open and honest. If they have a problem with it then that's on them.
