Restaurants like this deserve to go out of business.
If your can't pay your own employees you deserve to go bankrupt and shut down.
They tried adding the gratuity to the receipt…
@mattyglesias I guess this circumvents the criticism that degrowth would condemn individuals living in lower income countries to horrible fates, but I confess I'm still a bit confused how a future where everyone is living at a level of ~1950s Americans is considered pro-environmental.
@mattyglesias I just find it odd that they present this in a climate frame because if anything large wealth transfers from wealthier to poorer countries would increase resource usage.
@tracewoodgrains A not uncommon side effect of retinal disease is Charles Bonnet Syndrom, which is essentially visual hallucinations where the brain is effectively making up stuff to "fill in" the lost parts of the visual field.
@TomChivers You can test this yourself somewhat with your own blind spot (where the optic nerve penetrates the retina). Normally we are completely unaware of it, and it's difficult to realise that there is any loss of vision there at all!
@TomChivers It's common in vision less as well (Oliver Sacks' account of his own vision loss is pretty interesting in this regard, though obvious caveat there)
Possibly tinnitus has an element of this as well.

@randoguy_1@Nowooski The effect of heating from actual cooling emissions is minimal.
Heat islands are predominanly caused by changes in albedo (and to some extent differences in thermal mass) of the build environment.
In other words the zoo car park is probably a dozen times worse.
@yorksranter@morbidsymptom I mean, I guess it's arguable that to some extent it is compared to the counterfactual.
Just that those costs functionally haven't been accounted for in either scenario.
@Authw8 Yeah I was wondering about this.
Though doing this in a third party way would make it really difficult to properly verify a given individual only has one account
Worst VC behaviour I’ve seen in a portfolio company:
A euro VC limited founder salaries to a very low level (<$100k).
Founders then received a 9 figure acquisition offer.
VC tried to block the deal as was only a 4-5x for them.
I and other angels told them in no uncertain terms that we would go scorched earth on their reputation if they blocked the deal.
The worst part: they failed to connect the fact that their miserly salary cap was likely the cause of the founders wanting to accept the offer.
One of the founders was still renting a 1 bed apartment at this time and had a bunch of credit card debt.
You should want your founders to be financially comfortable post series A so they can really swing for the fences…
Generally complaints about the opposite sex centre on the worst offenders, but these people are largely alien to most people as they either don't associate with them, or it isn't aired openly in the circles they inhabit.
Though this is a sweeping generalisation of course, ymmv
