The thing is though, I don't see how someone like this could even work out.

Like, you hire employee 1, they get frustrated at something overnight. You fire them for being upset. Now you have to fill the seat. Employee 2 is brought on. They get told what happened to the person they replaced. They leave or are fired for having emotion and being human. This repeats ad nauseum.

I've been seeing both recently. I've opted to err on the same side and just make it clear when I'm talking about spinning rust versus solid state.

My wife worked at one. Cash tips are definitely best as they aren't officially taxed, but after taxes the employees do see every cent of digital taxes inside their paychecks. One biweekly paycheck was ~$50 more in tips alone for her. That was while her manager went on extended "medical" leave for an entire month and a half, leaving her, only one month into employment, fielding the lunch rush solo 3-4 days a week.

Also who tf tips at subway?

Those of us who realize the workers tend to be those unable to get anything better, even if they are trying (see: ex-convicts) and understand that $9/hr ain't a living wage

I greatly appreciate this comment. It's exactly the sort of background that I long for in comments.

In stark contrast to the other comment, I've hated gestures, and have actively switched every modern android I've gotten back to 3 buttons. And yeah, Nova Launcher till I die.

To be fair, I did have a comma after that. The $50 included litter, which should be changed at least every 2 weeks, and is currently about $18 for the stuff that works best in my household.

This is the kind of "feature" that would get me into model trains. Having the ability to circle it, going up and down at the same time, would be quite awesome indeed

So here's my perspective: you should get a cat you'll love, because that cat will need to depend on you for care. Not going to be a great relationship if 2-5 years down the road you find yourself sighing, reminding yourself that "it's for the internet" and/or "I'm not a cat racist" / some other bullshit as you sign the credit card bill for $50/mo in cat food, litter, cleaning supplies, etc, or worse, $500+ in vet fees to treat an illness.

No, you need to love your cat because you love your cat. Not because a rando on the internet said you're morally obligated to love any/all cats.

That's especially good since I haven't been calling you, which means that's a spoofed number

With how stressful things have been lately? I might just look like that in just under a decade...
