I admit I'm extremely curious how a computerized blackjack works. Does it automatically calculate the best angle for hitting someone upside the head?

In our galaxy at present time it would mean a card game, but since this takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far away it must mean something completely different, like porn or something.

IIRC she came in and put all kinds of moves on the men in the office. I don't pay close attention to Tinkersons but if I'm remembering it at all correctly, it was pretty cringeworthy.

I went back and checked. What happened was the Tinkersons mom was upset that the Tinkersons dad hung out with her outside work one time.




Then a little later she was fired off screen, no reason given.



Also I had to see so many Intelligent Lifes while looking this up and I'd just like to know where I can file for comp.

Going by Evans Logic, these two are evil grifters and need to be punished for their greed soon.

Probably. The Evanses hate the poo poo out of Les and though they have softened a little on Tiffany, she still has to pay for the days when they did hate the poo poo out of her as well. They're the strip's favorite punching bags.



Mordock is probably having a conniption, and is too busy rolling on the ground foaming at the mouth to comment on this today. I will just say that I don't see Les's behavior toward Tiff to be in any way predatory (nor has it ever been). They are friends and also both kind of dig each other (the flirting has been mutual since they first met). Gunther hates Les and frames everything he does as a sleazebag move, including his flirting with The Fair Lady Tiff, but she has never shown any sign that it's unwelcome.

Les and Tiff would make a good couple if they weren't stuck in such a toxic strip.

What does it say about the writers when the two "villain" characters are the most realistic and likeable?

Tiff has/had a "Paris Hilton" thing going on, but by the current money storyline, seems "Daddy" was over-extending himself to completly spoil her. So, she needs help getting a good grounding in reality, while Les had an abusive mother, and lovely childhood. He just needs someone with some patience and caring to help him grow and get past those things.


...and therapy, of course.

I really like Arlo and Janis. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

But anyways! Onto today's Corto Maltese! Where: Corto ain't a believer, but he is a cynic, or I forgot to read ahead, and so we'll be starting the new adventure half-way through this upload. Whoops!, or Tristam is pensive about Morgana





...and in today's Dieter Lumpen: Why drinking and gun handling are not good things to combine, or Dieter channels the spirit of Agent 47 for assassinating someone, or Dieter feels that his luck has changed...






So ends Games of Chance! But Dieter will return in a new adventure, entitled Time Bomb. Join us then!

It is called whole wheat, but a lot of people will shorten it to 'wheat'(especially in some contexts like asking what kind of bread you want, ex. 'white or wheat?'). I guess the extra word's too clunky.

Most people think wheat and whole wheat are the same, and if you ask a baker for wheat bread, they will give you whole wheat bread. For prepackaged bread, “wheat” bread is just white bread colored brown, because they can get away with calling it that if it’s technically true.

Most supermarkets will have one or two types of mass-market whole wheat, a wide selection of higher-priced whole wheat but with only a handful of loaves of each, about ten different mass-market varieties of said brown-colored white bread, essentially the same selection of white bread without the food coloring at about 10 cents cheaper, and Wonder Bread and its knockoffs that are more sugar than wheat.

Dethany is a lovely friend for constantly cutting off Fi like this as if she's excusing some rude behavior. Like Holbrook wants to sell Fi as this incredibly awful worker, but she just comes across as the only one to see that this is a toxic workplace.


This is trying to be philosophical/whimsical about this whole "half-and-half" vacation thing, but it's really just a pretentious humblebrag that this kid is rich enough to afford two types of vacations.

Angular Cyrus posted:

So the implication is that the Tinkerson mom made poo poo up and got her fired over literally nothing? Also that "punchline" of wishing the other lady was ugly is just terrible.

Possibly, but that would require Bettwy to keep his lore straight eight months down the road, and I don't know about that. Remember when rear end in a top hat coworker showed up again after his funeral?

If the first ingredient is enriched wheat flour might as well buy Wonder.

So, you know how Dustin's dad assumes that Dustin is lazy, and his degree is worthless? And why can't these kids making minimum wage waiting tables just pay off their college loans and buy houses like he did 40 years ago? You know that boomer mindset?

These same people think that a waitress is making $50 in tips, per table, per shift, regardless of what kind of food is being served.

And BTW, Ed's a lovely tipper - guaranteed.

So, $50 was the base tip, so let's say a $250 check across six women, so $42 each. Les says they ordered drinks ($5-10 each), appetizers ($5-8 each), entrees ($10-20), and dessert ($5-10). That sounds totally reasonable for a little cafe in mid-America, really.
