You are upset with me for tipping 30% (before this whole raise thing)? The $3 isn't an issue. I was just asking if it was enough or not.

If people are as productive in 4 days as they are in 5 days, I don't see how the employer would be sacrificing anything at all. They would just be saving a day of office lighting bills.

So I'm good not to tip now, right? Or was my $3 tip on $10 beer (before this raise) not good enough and I should have been tipping more at that time?

The AR-15 was designed in 1956...

Adrenaline is one hell of a drug.

Hard to consider using 24hr time amongst the 'dumb shit' though.

Wait, have you literally never learned anything 'just for fun'? Like read about an ancient civilization or learned to ski or ride a bike or something?

Riding a bike and skiing definitely hasn't ever helped my employability or level of income... pretty fun though so I'd recommend it.

And yes, people can learn these things inside a school. Although many people also learn them outside of school. But learning is learning.

If there isn't a physical option available to you just not watch it?

I was talking about things like backcountry skiing, which I do for fun. But I'd even apply the same to a ski resort where bad weather can shut down gondolas and leave people stranded up top. And while SoCal sure sounds nice, I actually live in the mountains myself... in Canada. A place where unexpected heavy rain actually washed out a few highways last year and leaving many people stranded in previously well connected communities. Similarly, unexpected inclement weather does sink recreational boats somewhat often... which is exactly what the situation at burning man is: (very) unexpected weather.

My point was that it is a 'for fun' event in an environment not meant for humans to set up permanent infrastructure, and that's ok.

This mindset leads to no one doing anything interesting ever.

Skiing, sailing, scuba diving...none of it makes any real sense as the environments do not tend to have much infrastructure for human survival. But I can't imagine life without any illogical recreational activities such as these. It's fun.

I prefer reappropriation of the terms personally.

They said they were in Canada and I assure you Canada doesn't give a fuck about torrents. I've been torrenting copyrighted material for 15+ years now without a VPN, no issue. Like we are talking about tens of thousands of individual torrents for movies, shows, books and software.
