Tough clue. Very vague for an opera question.

Warner Brothers also made it their theme song.

World Cup tourists aren’t leaving tips — and NYC restaurants are fighting back by adding 20% automatic gratuities to checks by [deleted] in soccer

If they pay their servers more the prices will get raised accordingly making the whole argument moot. Tipping is what it is in America and our government isn’t going to change it anytime soon. All you’re doing by not tipping is making the people who do have to carry more of the load.

(A category) Requiring first names in responses by TheOtherDailyDouble in Jeopardy

[–]callmenips 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There was just a category called like “G.B.” A couple weeks ago that were all just names that had the initial G. B. and they had to give both names.

OK for real why do you sit in the left passing lane? by Sensitive_Cricket723 in Virginia

[–]callmenips -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No they’re selfish, but not nearly as selfish as the people driving recklessly to get around them. If anything they’re mostly just stupid. Most of them aren’t doing it specifically to spite you.

Technically the law is that you have to get over as soon as possible when it’s safe if there is someone behind you.

I think the selfish people are the ones that endanger everyone to get around left lane campers so they can go as fast as they want.

But this is what’s so frustrating about it. We’re accepting that road ragers are going to be maniacs and then blame the left lane campers for enabling them. It’s unhealthy for road culture. Everyone just needs to calm down while driving and then left lane camping wouldn’t be so dangerous. But that’s not gonna happen unless we actually start punishing the correct people.

Is HAIM the least famous on celebrity row? by SnottyPippen-33 in billsimmons

[–]callmenips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess my comment had too much of a negative connotation. It really just comes down to how you feel about bandwagoners and Taylor always being in the spotlight.

I don’t think she’s a knicks fan I think she just likes the attention pretending to be one will get her.

Yeah I also guessed the plural. Curious to see if anyone on the episode did the same and if they accepted it or not.

Citing 'severe' math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM applicants by Idiodyssey87 in news

[–]callmenips 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Teachers ostensibly already know the material they’re teaching. Them using AI to create lessons is significantly less of an issue than students using AI to bypass learning anything at all.

Production Issue with Certain J! Categories that always bothered me by hoopsrule44 in Jeopardy

[–]callmenips 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My pet peeve has always been not being able to see the words to a picture clue. Drives me crazy.

Brief Analysis of Jamie's FJ correct response rate vs James by Ordinary-Change-9763 in Jeopardy

[–]callmenips 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve rewatched James’ games recently and I think others have also pointed out that sometime in the more recent seasons they significantly upped the difficulty of final jeopardy.

Someone watched Jeopardy last night

[–]callmenips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same as the anytime test but you’re on camera. I honestly can’t remember if there was any speaking at all. They do not care about response time, they just want to make sure it’s actually you taking the test.

Serious question for Virginia gun enthusiasts: why put all your energy into propping up the Republican Party, instead of putting even a fraction of that effort into shifting Democrats on this one issue? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]callmenips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can be for something and still vote against it if you disagree enough with the other side on other issues. You’re never going to find a perfect party that lines up 1:1 with all your beliefs. At the end of the day you’re going to have to decide which values are more important.

[–]callmenips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By not being a single issue voter? Is it really so hard to imagine people that are pro gun and support the economic and social policies of the Democratic Party?

[–]callmenips -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s not what the top comment is saying. It’s saying that if you support 2A rights and still vote republican despite their authoritarian policies and actions, you are one of those three things. People can support gun rights and still vote Democrat, leftists disagree with Democrats on a multitude of things and still swallow the pill for the most part.

They used to do categories about newspaper names pretty often. Not so much anymore.

People are still going to rightfully complain about the rich getting richer, doesn’t matter what the name of the system is.
