AreWeDrunkYet posted:Hotel bathrooms tend to be cleaner than most public bathrooms, and if you don't look like a minority or homeless no one is going to ask you any questions when you walk into a hotel. As a bonus they tend to be conveniently located near highway ramps. This was more like while walking through a town/city, then mid-road trip. But it still makes sense as a habit, i guess.

Just want to point out half drunkenly that the rumors that there are many public toilets in EU are false. Aside from high way piss stations at rest stops and train station s, I only know of a single public toilet from back when I was a kid. It sort of had an aura where no one in the city came closer than 20m to it. That's except the plastic piss pots they put up during pub night, and the retractable ones that come out of the ground in Dutch tourist spots I always piss at McDonald's

RyokoTK posted:Neither of these work well either. It’s kind of an unwinnable situation. If they only need to cover the price of bread the increase should be minimal enough to be unnoticeable; say if your average table is 4 people you'll need to increase the individual ticket by a quarter to cover the cost. This is a lot harder to manage for large wage increases where the number will be more noticable; and the people storming out for being charged $1 probably know the prices by heart...so ya unwinnable here Proteus Jones posted:Eh, as long as they give him the title today, it’s not fraud. Now, how likely do you think that is with their cluster-gently caress of delivery services? According to the IRS it's based on purchase date... do you need to take delivery and have title in hand for it to be considered purchased? I am guessing not

I spent my Christmas day in Santa Barbara driving around by myself unable to find a public bathroom while my friends explored the closed-for-holidays part of town. Thanks, spicy hotpot and a defective digestive system. Also thanks, both the liquor store and gas station that insisted there's no bathroom for customers. Way to deny a basic human health need to your fellow man on Christmas. Nothing I could have done to your bathroom is worth a company selling its soul like that. But they all do it because gently caress the homeless I guess, maybe they'll just stop being homeless if we stop encouraging them, and will definitely not piss on our entrance every day. gently caress SoCal

Yeah if it was just the bread it would be no big deal (and when costing food for sale price you always add a base value for freebies like bread service, amuse bouche, whatever) but well, like everything else but electronics, poo poo’s just getting more expensive. Love the carbs tho

I feel like all Americans and people who should be Americans like illegal immigrants should be provided with a birthright tour of a usa-like country with a social welfare state like Australia. just throw money around and stay in the bougie areas so the locals treat them nice. but the main point would be to walk em around and give them a real sense of poo poo. take them to a 7-11, let them marvel at the high prices, then let the employee tell them that's to pay for their overtime. another one would be showing Americans that other countries actually negotiate competitively for their prescription drug prices, like a free market or something. it doesn't have to be Aussie, that's just the one I've had those experiences wandering around cause I will admit there's a certain culture shock to, in my example, realizing that 711 isn't just cheap as gently caress. it opened my eyes to some of the exploitation I'd been performing and taking for granted, and after that initial selfish impulse it helped me understand the rationale at more than an intellectual level I don't have a ton of other examples but I feel like even just laser focusing on 'this is what costs more, and this is what they get for it' in the easily understood parts of the economy would go a long way obviously it'd be nice to shoehorn in some anti gun and pro health care poo poo. maybe we can trick the kind of people who told me to take my Aussie relations to outback steakhouse into going to Australia thinking they won't be exposed to anything more challenging than a large knife

I had to get an x-ray for a broken bone in my foot on boxing Day and it took about an hour between my initial doctor's appointment and having the results in my hand and cost me a total of $9.

I don't think it's a cure all and it sure is tongue in cheek, but that's part of the reason I specified touring the bougie parts of a Commonwealth fellow genocidal white settler empire which has attained less evil immigration politics since the 60s, which is all more American of an experience than the experiences in Europe also I specified birthright because they know how to take a hosed up situation and turn it into a propagandistic gently caress fest, which is more or less the effect I'd like to exploit but for making medium-rich kids feel good about making a social welfare state

GWBBQ posted:This is such an annoying talking point. They never meant to put it into Mars orbit, only to have a trajectory equivalent to a transfer orbit to Mars. There were two reasons for launching the roadster: minimal cost publicity stunt for a launch that would otherwise have been a mass simulator, and payload mass way below the rocket's capabilities to increase the chance of center core recovery, which failed anyway because it was a long shot regardless of what was on top of it. Also having a nonhomogenous payload means they got a little more experience than they would have with just a big chunk of concrete, and apparently the launch was risky/useless enough nobody they asked was willing to risk a functional satellite on it. It's honestly one of the less-dumb things Tesla did.

my local Tesla dealer is staying open until midnight to help as many people as possibly take advantage of the tax credit. I hadn’t really considered it but I’m a car guy and a performance guy and a Model 3 AWD with the performance package seems like it’d be right up my alley. 0-60 in 3.3 and 1/4 in 11.8 is pretty good for a daily driver type car. I think I may grab one before midnight to get the tax credit.
