Your choice not to tip will make no difference to the company, but every difference to a person who suffers through customer service for a living.
“I don’t want to subsidize a company” is just you inventing a convenient way to justify what is essentially theft. Why stop at not tipping? You could probably get away with stealing IDK, playground equipment too.
Thanks for the quote, but it’s still not a cut to the grant itself.
Believe it or not, I also think university research depts should continue to exist and that major budget shortfalls due to this are not in our best interest.
Hope your abrasive remarks are making you feel better.
If my statement was wrong, feel free to correct it. But based on reading the article, this change is not a “cut” to grants as you indicated in your title.
Will this change cause significant disruption? Almost certainly. But there’s an argument to be made for the change, namely that NIH grants should support the science rather than the university and that university overhead costs should be subsidized in some other way.
This isn’t a cut (yet), it’s a budgetary allocation requirement. It matches what is already required by most private non-profits.
You could buy a couple of acres of land and turn it into a forest preserve. And then don’t let anyone buy it to build or cut down trees / etc.
Depending on how much you care, you could even plant a sustainable forest and grow hardwood as an investment.
The billboard says many women are raped by the ppl guiding the illegal border crossings.
As of March 2024, El Salvador’s bitcoin gambit stood at a 50% profit, with bitcoin having recorded a new all-time high of over $69,000. --the article
If you believe the virus came from the Wuhan center and that was covered up, how could you trust a scientist from there to truthfully make this report? They could have just omitted a match to SARS-CoV2 if they found one.
Probably this needed to be published but it seems like a lose-lose proposition for the researchers and I doubt it will give conspiracy theorists a pause.
Reduced from 40 to 36 hours is in the right direction, but it’s still a 5 day work week.
If you would prefer a socialist party candidate the most logical choice is to pick whatever Democratic/Republican candidate is most willing to enact voting method reform, e.g. ranked choice voting.
Because voters are incentivized to pick one of two main parties in the current method, third parties are essentially guaranteed never to get off the ground.
Yeah and the senators who ratified women’s right to vote were all elected by men but they still did the ethical thing.
At least Sanders seems to want to reduce billionaires’ disproportionate influence on politics.
Maybe you’re ok if Elon Musk’s opinion on how much you should get taxed counts a billion times more than yours, but you really shouldn’t be.
It is ironic, but if this was the case we would probably just see the Republican party shift to be more moderate and collect more votes. Not a bad thing IMO. Cultivating extremism is bad for democracy.

Interesting. This kind of bill is for costs incurred as a result of the rally rather than for directly using the facilities, e.g. paying for an increased police presence to control protestors. Seems like candidates are not really obligated to pay for this.
This article claims they pay a higher effective tax rate, not more in taxes. A citizen working the same position would pay even more in taxes since they would also have to pay income tax.
Maybe the headline should be that sales + other flat taxes are becoming an increasing burden for low income workers. This is the problem for the illegal immigrants in the study, and even more of a problem for citizens who earn the same amount.
*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.
Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?
Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).
To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.
The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that’s a tough one.
Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.
The idea is checking out with more than a basket of goods is really inconvenient. And I agree, it’s much slower and there’s no space for it.
At least in the US, tipping is the accepted way that we compensate certain people for their time.
If you habitually never tip, you are not paying for the service that you receive in good faith. This is theft of service.
If you don’t like tipping, patronize places that include the tip in the bill. Tell restaurant owners to change their pay structure to avoid it. It won’t be changed by you individually shirking your obligation to pay.
