These numbers refer to the rows, so the horizontal resolution.
Yes, that is the number of rows. But that makes it the vertical resolution. There’s 1080 pixels from top to bottom. If the arrows/triangles are indicating the direction of measurement, they are wrong.
I suspect that it’s an attempt at indicating a wide screen. 16:9, 16:10 etc was fairly new at the time, many buyers would be expecting their usual 4:3 screen ratio.
I think we are somewhat on the same page here. What matters isn’t the word you use, it’s the intention behind, which is hopefully obvious from context.
When I get called a nerd, my response goes anywhere between being proud and being insulted depending on context. The word itself has no emotion by itself.
Shouldn’t it be the same with many of these words that some people consider racist?
Their circle of friends may not be like yours.
I know plenty of people like what you are describing (always near at least one phone), but they are still impossible to reach quickly. Even when they expect a call, they can have their phone in Do Not Disturb mode. Or they ran out of battery, and didn’t think to turn it on after plugging it in. Most of the time I have no idea what the issue is.
Also, he might live in an area with few options. Specially on short notice. Maybe the closest alternative with a somewhat similar style is far away, so even if you can get a reservation , not everybody will be able to get there before dinner time.
Basically, when he says it’s hard for him, maybe just trust that he knows his life better than you do.
unless you pay for a “service” that lets them put it by the curb or your garage or designated package box.
Here it’s cheaper to get it delivered to a pick-up place near my home. I’ll just pick it up on the way home from work, almost as easy as getting stuff from my own mailbox.
I agree.
I usually think of that as documentation, not comments.
But even so, the code should say what it does, with a good name. The documentation adds details.
So $10 plus a $3 tip is “paying extra” to you people
Yes. The price is 10. I pay 13. That’s 3 more. Simple math.
you’re gonna happily pay the same shitty owner $15 "and no more
That’s a straw man argument. I probably won’t support a shitty owner at any price.
What I want is to know the price up front, without checking for loopholes, adding tips and whatever. I don’t care how simple the math is, or how much I love math or how good I am at calculating in my head, or how big the impact is to my personal economy.
I see a price, I either pay it or I don’t. There’s a reason that anything else is literally illegal where I live.
You’re welcome to have your opinion, this is mine.
Again, I don’t mind tipping if I actually get extra. I’m a big tipper, if I get more than I’m paying for.
just licking some capitalist footwear under the guise of a kind of false consumerism
Wow, that’s American level defense of capitalism. Where I’m from, we pay a lot more attention to consumer rights and employee rights.
Fair enough, they can both be shit. I just don’t see how it’s my responsibility as a customer, to fix the problem that the resto is underpaying its staff.
The way I usually do my part to help workers who are not treated well, is to boycott the employer. If tipping is seen as a solution to that problem, I’d call that enabling. Tipping is the only reason restos can get away with grossly underpaying their staff. I don’t want to support that.
Are you seriously saying that the customer who pays full price and no more is “a piece of shit”, and not management who chooses to underpay the staff?
I’m not having any of that. I’d rather just not eat out. Enjoy no tip AND one less customer.
I’ll pay extra when I get extra. I paid over 150% yesterday. I’ve given big tips for free services. People sometimes give my cash tip back assuming I accidentally gave them 10x my intention. But not when it’s a simple transaction when I get what I ordered and I’m paying the advertised price.
Yep, the included feet are just something you might be able to use until you get a real mount.
If you really want the TV to stand on furniture, buy a proper vesa mounted stand (they can be very cheap) and maybe even a proper TV table.
Seemingly. 🙂
My ISP only has symmetric. The cheapest one they advertise costs about 10 Big Macs per month.
I can’t speed test my connection as my wifi is the bottleneck. But the way our law is, they can’t really lie about speed. The “up to” trick was banned a long time ago.
At least for me in IT, everybody usually gets an adjustment that’s on average above inflation. So if you work the same place for ten years without ever getting a raise, you still keep up with inflation.
I think my lowest was 0% and my highest almost 3%. Some years slightly below inflation, but in any 3 year period I think I’ve been above inflation.
Then any raise is on top of that.
All good points. But since tipping is supporting this broken system, and not tipping seems to be worse, what do you suggest then?
I could just not go out, sure. Just stay out of it. If enough people do that, this wil lead to less customers, more employers closing their business, more employers loosing the job they couldn’t afford to quit. I don’t see how that helps either.
So I’m listening. What do you suggest?
I see what you mean, but I’m not the one fucking over the employees.
On the short term you are right, but as long as customers keeps tipping, the system works well enough for nothing to change.
The more people stops tipping, the closer we get to change.
And I’m sorry that the change will hurt the employees, but it’s not my battle. And tipping does not support the employees battle, just this days income.
Tell me another way I can support their battle, and I’ll listen.
(I tip when the employees seems to rely on it, or if I feel extraordinarily well serviced.)
Exactly, that’s the thing. Here in Denmark, many (most?) companies think that happy workers are more productive.
I might be colored by mostly working in places where it’s very expensive to replace an employee, but then again, for Americans I mostly talk with people in a similar kind of job.
That’s fine, I can’t expect everybody to like that kind of stuff.
But it’s still important to have that for those that do. And of course that people more like you, get what you want.
Ah, here it’s very different. In multiple companies I’ve gotten consistent 5/5 and told by my own manager that I should really get a promotion, but they can’t give me promotion or even a raise. Just the 1-2% salary adjustment everybody gets.
Feels so good… 🙄
I’ve been told multiple times to take more sick leave.
Usually when I come back from sick leave, I’ve been told I should have taken a day more to recover fully. But after days in bed, I just really want to start doing something, even if I’m tired.
Where do you live, where taking breakes is frowned upon? That’s crazy.
Here in Denmark, I’m being reminded to take breakes and go home. I have been asked if I’m sure it’s not hurting my work/life balance, before getting overtime approved.
It’s also common to stay at work after hours to hang out, if there’s a nice place to do that.
There’s two kinds of money: Enough money, and more than enough money.
If you don’t have enough money, that’s all that matters. A nicer day at work means very little.
Once you have enough money, more money matters very little. Now it’s about enjoying work etc.
No, it’s definitely 1920 columns and 1080 rows.
I don’t know what the sticker is trying to say. I can read it in two ways, and one of them is kind of correct while the other is definitely wrong. And that is unnecessarily confusing, and therefore mildly infuriating.
I don’t know what you think OP is wrong about.
