[05:22] schestowitz[TR2] i was pulling your leg [05:23] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], I switched to X11 because the lock screen for kwin_wayland is freezing the computer now. [05:23] Isambard_Prince It doesn't work worse than kwin_wayland so there's no great need to switch it back unless they decide to actually drop X at some point. [05:23] Isambard_Prince Which I doubt will be anytime soon. [05:25] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], I responded to No Tax On Tips. [05:25] Isambard_Prince I lowered my tips from 18% to 10% and under that I write "No Tax On Tips...". [05:26] Isambard_Prince It's just revolting that tips keep getting higher and now they don't even pay tax on them. [05:26] Isambard_Prince When I was a kid, 10% was a solid tip when you went out to eat. [05:26] Isambard_Prince Then the standard became 15%, then somewhere it became 18%, then now they want 22%. [05:26] Isambard_Prince Then the law changed and they don't even owe income tax on it. [05:26] Isambard_Prince So I just started leaving 10% again. [05:27] Isambard_Prince If I get the job at the hotel laundry, I have to pay tax on everything. [05:27] Isambard_Prince But if a server that already makes that much per hour also gets good tips, then potentially half their income in non-taxable.

[05:28] Isambard_Prince Or more than half. [05:28] Isambard_Prince Why am I leaving someone who already makes more money than me a huge tip? [05:28] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], I made an exception to the 10% once since the law changed. [05:29] Isambard_Prince We went to Outback Steakhouse and the waitress there slipped me an extra 22 ounce beer and didn't charge me for it. [05:29] Isambard_Prince So she got a really nice tip. [05:30] Isambard_Prince Tips above 10% should be for outstanding service. [05:31] Isambard_Prince Restaurant prices are through the roof. [05:31] Isambard_Prince So a 10% tip is already pretty substantial even without the no tax policy. [05:32] Isambard_Prince A dinner that was $50 five years ago is like $110 now. [05:32] Isambard_Prince So if you left a 20% tip on $50, that's $10. If you leave a 10% tip on $110, that's $11. [05:32] Isambard_Prince So restaurant price hikes are causing tips to go up anyway. [05:33] Isambard_Prince I'm glad that Illinois decoupled from the no tax on tips federal law. [05:33] Isambard_Prince Unlike Trump's party, we're still trying to run a state with public services. [05:33] Isambard_Prince We've got roads, healthcare, police and fire, all kinds of things to run. [05:33] Isambard_Prince And we can't do that if billions of tax dollars are lost. [05:35] Isambard_Prince I hate going to places that demand tips where there's no service being provided. [05:35] Isambard_Prince Like Five Guys or Jimmy Johns or something. [05:35] Isambard_Prince They make $19 an hour to make sandwiches. You clean up your own table and refill your own drinks. [05:35] Isambard_Prince Then this fucking tip screen shows up.

[05:44] Isambard_Prince Tips are always stressful because human nature is to want to appear generous and "social", especially when other people are looking at you. [05:45] Isambard_Prince I liked MCL Cafeteria and Laughner's and Jonathan Byrd's cafeteria in Indiana back in the day. [05:46] Isambard_Prince You went in, you grabbed a tray, you grabbed some silverware and put it on the tray, you told each employee going down the line what you wanted from the offerings that day, you grabbed a dinner roll if you wanted one, and told them what drink you'd like, then paid the cashier, and took a seat and ate your meal. [05:46] Isambard_Prince They cleaned the table. No tipping allowed. [05:46] Isambard_Prince That's how restaurants should work. [05:47] Isambard_Prince It should be like an assembly line, very efficient. No tipping allowed. [05:48] Isambard_Prince I frequently don't eat at restaurants that allow tips, because I don't want to feel like I'm backed into a corner. Expected to hand over a large chunk of money when they should just pay employees. ● Jan 06 [06:06] TR News Techrights EPO People Power - Part XXVI - European Media Has Become Part of the Problem https://techrights.org/n/2026/01/06/EPO_People_Power_Part_XXVI_European_Media_Has_Become_Part_of_th.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/01/06/EPO_People_Power_Part_XXVI_European_Media_Has_Become_Part_of_th.gmi [06:06] TR Bot Techrights EPO People Power - Part XXVI - European Media Has Become Part of the Problem [06:10] TR News The Microsoft shill is shilling some more Windows https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/06/hp_keyboard_pc/ [06:10] TR Bot HP pushes PC-in-a-keyboard for businesses with hot desks The Register [06:15] TR News Coming soon https://www.recruitingnewsnetwork.com/posts/is-microsoft-preparing-for-mass-layoffs-in-2026 [06:15] TR Bot Microsofts Layoff Strategy | Recruiting News Network [06:27] TR News Techrights Rumours: Microsoft to Lay Off 12,500-25,000 Workers Soon (Tentatively Wednesday, 15 Days From Now) https://techrights.org/n/2026/01/06/Rumours_Microsoft_to_Lay_Off_12_500_25_000_Workers_Soon_Tentati.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/01/06/Rumours_Microsoft_to_Lay_Off_12_500_25_000_Workers_Soon_Tentati.gmi [06:28] TR Bot not resolve host: techrights.org ( status 0 @ https://techrights.org/n/2026/01/06/Rumours_Microsoft_to_Lay_Off_12_500_25_000_Workers_Soon_Tentati.shtml ) [06:36] TR News GNU/Linux up in Ethiopia https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/ethiopia/#monthly-200902-202601 [06:36] TR Bot Desktop Operating System Market Share Ethiopia | Statcounter Global Stats [06:37] TR News 3% in Mali https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/mali/#monthly-200902-202601 [06:37] TR Bot Desktop Operating System Market Share Mali | Statcounter Global Stats [06:37] TR News Also 3% in Niger https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/niger/#monthly-200902-202601 [06:37] TR Bot Desktop Operating System Market Share Niger | Statcounter Global Stats [06:41] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], We went to the movies a few times recently.

[21:06] Isambard_Prince Part of FICO is your utilization overall and part is your utilization on a given card. [21:06] Isambard_Prince If you have to spend $2,000 a month, but have a $3,000 limit on the card, your utilization will be 66% when the statement posts. [21:07] Isambard_Prince If you spend $2,000 in a month and have a $20,000 limit, your utilization is only 10%. [21:07] Isambard_Prince It helps stabilize your credit rating because it shows that you're not filling up the card. [21:08] Isambard_Prince There's also credit cards with such a low limit that you have to stop two or three times a month and pay it off in between statements, and that's not good either. [21:08] Isambard_Prince The banks call it cycling. It basically lets you spend beyond the limit they assigned you. ACH transfers, which is how you pay the card, can be disputed for up to 60 days, so the way the bank sees it, they are risking multiples of the amount they gave you. [21:09] Isambard_Prince So if you get one of those $500-1000 limits you're going to have to cycle it and that can get your account terminated.

Doug LaMalfa of California has died at 65 [22:14] Isambard_Prince So the Republicans are down by two seats right now. [22:15] MinceR they're not republicans [22:15] Isambard_Prince That means that they can only lose two votes from their own party with full attendance, instead of 4. Then on the 31st, Texas has a special election and both candidates are Democrats, so the Republican majority will be down to 1 seat. [22:15] MinceR republicans don't abolish the republic [22:15] Isambard_Prince MinceR, Trump said LaMalfa "voted with me 100% of the time". [22:16] Isambard_Prince So no loss there.
