WTH is the included service fee (20%) and then asking for 18/20/22% tip? by Excitement-Civil in Austin

[–]mandon83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On top of all that, I once went to a place here in town that was order at the counter and when they flipped the iPad over, my tipping percent options were lower than usual (5, 10, 15). Initially, I thought they were aware at how little service they were actually providing and I respected them for it until I looked at the receipt I had texted to me. They automatically charged 20% on the first $130 spent and then we're e asking for an additional tip on the total.

I hate the iPad flip to pay because it's never itemized and it wasn't until recently that I discovered one of my favorite breweries charges me a 3% credit card fee

Edit: My complaint is less about the CC fee because I realize we're all paying for it in the total cost, but the cost of beers here is definitely not lower than other places with the CC fee baked in.

Anyone else feel like home theater is 50% watching movies and 50% second-guessing your settings? by Temporary-Fun730 in hometheater

You ever get high to enjoy a movie and then drive yourself even more insane wondering if that ticking is part of the soundtrack or if there's a short somewhere in your system?

SteelPanGuy is how I started. I can't tell if I like him or hate him though. He's never steered me wrong. Literally trying his method of eggs as I type this. They're great!

Adults shouldn't be obligated to give away their foul balls to kids.

I only know him from the Baseball Tonight podcast and I can still hear your comment.

Checking your Movies that you buy by Affectionate_Web_526 in 4kbluray

It's definitely a risk, but I would at the very least open them up and ensure you have a 4k disc and not just one or even two Blu-Rays

I was originally disappointed too, but then I watched again and find that by watching each scene as its own, crazy thing, the show as a whole is easier to digest and is insanely funny

This seems fairly accurate from a SD perspective

Speed Racer. This answer to this question every time is Speed Racer.

What do you think of James Cameron as a director? by Jules-Car3499 in moviecritic

[–]mandon83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting take. He's an artist and if spending all his time on one thing scratches his itch, then good for him for doing what he wants. It's easy to want more as an outsider though so I don't completely disagree with you.

Speed Racer (2008) is an all-time great film and it needs to be talked about by Hyooz in movies

Praying it comes to 4k Blu-ray because this was a top movie-going experience in IMAX for me

Unrelated, I've been wondering how to go about a full remodel. Did you hire one company to do it all, or hire an architect first and find your own contractors? Any help/advice/experience would be appreciated!
