  • Tons of people do this for bartenders that open bottles for them, or poor liquid from the tap into a glass. coffee shops are similar enough settings that people will often do it out of habit.

    The difference of course being that bartenders get paid barely anything and tips are expected to be the majority of their income while baristas are supposed to be paid regular wages.

    Personally I would rather every job including service jobs be paid a living wage with tips going away entirely.






  • Solar stills are only useful in certain, niche circumstances and are improvised with materials on hand.

    Finding some transparent, eco-friendly sheeting and packing it just to run a solar still is fucking stupid.

    Seems like you are being a dick because someone else didn’t know that this was something that could only be used in emergency situations and nobody plans for those. I mean you could have said ‘filter straws are a better option if you are planning ahead’ if this method is worse, but I bet you feel a lot better having trash talked someone for not being aware of some additional context not present in the OP.




  • The user is always right about what they are willing to spend money on. That doesn’t mean they know what they want, although a lot of people don’t want to change.

    That doesn’t mean all change is good, and it isn’t like any UI will ever meet everyone’s preferences. For example, I hate adaptive design interfaces that are significantly different in confusing ways on different resolutions. Like I understand switching a static menu to an expandable menu, but not moving the relative location of certain buttons from the bottom of the screen to the top or vise versa. But that might make sense for some use case that isn’t how I interact with it.
