okay so the paleo bone broth wasn't too bad, making stock is fun and enhances all levels of my cooking ime. but i kind of think the fun of it is making it on your own and seeing humble ingredients simmer in a stockpot over an afternoon, it warms the house and the soul, you can see as the day passes the complexity of flavors increases. it's not something you shell out $5 for a shot of at fuckin street window. though i guess that is cool at the same time that in NY and SF you can buy a shot of bone broth at fuckin street window. good for them. boston would be more interesting if you could do that i guess

So hotly debated was Ms. Clooney’s fashion statement that it rated its own Twitter account, @msclooneygloves. Elsewhere, tweeters singled out the offending armwear as pompous or pretentious, charging that she appears to think of herself as royalty. Another joshed, perhaps accurately, “Amal wore the gloves to protect the engagement and wedding rings from prying eyes.”

If you don’t know anyone in town, find a way to invite yourself to homes of friends of friends. What are they reading? Are there any books at all? What about books for the children?
I love that one. If friends of friends of yours are living in the community, visit them and ask questions visit them specifically to gather bookshelf data.

It's pretty quid/ag in that it's told entirely from the perspective of the tippers, business owners, and impenetrable venture-capital concepts rather than the conditions of tipped labor, etc., but yeah.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 2 February 2015 23:43 (nine years ago) link
i always assumed it would be a good thing for tipped labor but idk.
― languagelessness (mattresslessness), Monday, 2 February 2015 23:46 (nine years ago) link
dunno what the "it" is there, but just to clarify, I was just saying that the article, in not really speaking to that perspective, leaves itself open to be used by the quid/ag crowd as fuel for outrage against tipping on their $4 coffee drinks, etc. Pretty minor by the standards of these things.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 2 February 2015 23:49 (nine years ago) link
sure. i meant that it seems like the auto-tipping checkbox might make it harder to not leave a tip. i'd be interested in seeing if there was any net effect or improvement on tipping amounts. not going to actually read through that article to see if it's covered because it's so obviously from the polish-my-shoes-bitch pov.
― languagelessness (mattresslessness), Monday, 2 February 2015 23:55 (nine years ago) link
Hard to say really, it's also dealing with places that have the resources/clientele to install special devices, separate from the register, where you can swipe your credit card to tip an amount you pre-set? which just seems so weird and redundant that i have to assume this whole thing is definitely not about People Like Me, and makes total sense in some other universe beyond my ken.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 2 February 2015 23:59 (nine years ago) link
lots of small start-ups here are opting for it instead of the usual register so there has to be some cost appeal i would imagine.
― languagelessness (mattresslessness), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 00:05 (nine years ago) link
def some cost appeal to square up I'd imagine. touch screen cash registers are $600.

chichi places like, i dunno, taxicabs?
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 08:05 (nine years ago) link
Taxicabs are relatively chichi but I'm not sure I take your meaning; ime they have one device where you swipe your card for the fare and then get the option to tip, not two separate gizmos for two separate swipes which is what I understood the article to describe. I don't see how two devices could fail to be more expensive. Maybe I'm missing something.
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 15:20 (nine years ago) link
electronic tips also make me nervous because I'm never 100% convinced the worker gets it, although even with tip jars you can wind up with places that have shady management who skims off the tips.
― walid foster dulles (man alive), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 15:43 (nine years ago) link
If anything, you can be sure that the tips are well documented if received electronically
― It's strange to me too. But we're talking about praxis, man. (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 16:49 (nine years ago) link
Suppose that's true, doesn't mean baristas/cab drivers/whoever gets the records though
― walid foster dulles (man alive), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 16:58 (nine years ago) link
But it's something that they or a lawyer could request. So I think that would add incentive for the business owner to make the right decision. I don't know exactly how it's documented, though, so maybe not. Either way, I am tipping the full amount because it's out of my hands.

“I was not going to move to Brooklyn. Brooklyn is not New York; it is so far away from everything,” said Mr. Moran Moya

The pair, who blog about food and travel at SpanishHipster.com, hoped for an open kitchen and outdoor space for their frequent entertaining. Their top price of up to $1 million rose to around $1.5 million when Mr. Moran Moya, who works as a business consultant for consumer goods, received an inheritance.
The owner was eager to sell, and they were able to buy the apartment for $1.465 million, arriving in late fall. The process seemed too easy.“Did we go too high because we were so used to being shot down?” Ms. Porter said. She felt better when Mr. Modica told them that another offer had arrived late in the game. In what Ms. Porter calls their “kitchen-centric” apartment, they have played host to as many as 16 people. “That is a very big part of our life, the love of food,” she said. “Everyone can gather around the island. We have all this floor space where we can dance around the kitchen and laugh at the plight of the foolish proletariat. All shall kneel before Zod.”
