In the specific case that I mentioned having the cafe likely propped them up, at least to some degree. I don't know how it is in England but in North America industrial parks are pretty much wastelands, when it comes to eateries. The ones that do exist do huge business, as long as they open...

I gave up on both GoT and The Walking Dead pretty early on, as they are both essentially murder porn.

Yeah, I expect so. They start in a niche industry and I thing the cafe thing might be an attempt to become less niche in a way? I wonder what the failure rate difference is between the cafe model and a regular LFGS.? These guys started in a single storefront, under the name Friendly...

A couple of guys who were a year ahead of me, in high school, opened a game store/comic shop when they graduated. It started just around the corner from the school, then moved a few Km away and closer to my house. They also put a sort of coffee shop at the front of the new location and it worked...

In that case the tip should be a discount on the groceries.

Man, you guys are really making me miss the great old days of gaming stores in the Toronto area. Four Horsemen. Battered Dwarf. Mr Gameways Arc. The original silver Snail when it was something like three floors, spread across three storefronts. Now it's a single floor walk-up, just around the...

My point, precisely.

I often wonder if those tips that the card swipe asks for, at fast food chains, go to the workers or the owner/franchisee of the place. My gut says the latter.

Which sounds remarkably backwards.

My opinion: This would have landed much differently, on opening weekend, if they hadn't shown Keanu in the trailer. I think it would have created far more buzz that way.

Things happen during software updates ;)

Or when you want people to sign a contract that isn't in their best interest.

The Blip is definitely a problem, as literally everyone on Earth was directly affected by it. A massive stillborn godling sticking up out of the Indian Ocean less so because it has no bearing on the day-to-day lives of the majority of people, regardless of what it signified. Humans are rather...

Tipping, especially online, has gotten weird over the last few years. It's gone from something that you give to people when they tend to your needs over an extended period of time, to something that's somehow expected for shovelling something across the counter to you. And online I've seen it on...

I have absolutely no idea what happened there, because I know I typed it. Fixed now. Though I don't have a shot of the fox, I did take one of the stairs.

I've been fortunate to not see that degree of idiocy but I saw something similar, on a visit to Washington State. I visited Mount Rainier, to take some shots. When I was at Paradise, I spotted a large fox near the bottom of the stairs that lead to the trail up the mountain. As I quietly started...

Day 30 - Had to bleach everything. Even myself. That was just NOT coming out.

Doing cross-country flights from Toronto, to the west coast, there's an awful lot of nothing. During night flights it's quite common to see one or two lights, in a sea of dark.
