Dead Cells! Playa great on Switch. Highly addictive.

I'm currently traveling and really enjoying Against the Storm on the deck. Its easy to pop in for twenty minutes or just sink a couple hours into it. Runs super smooth on the deck.

I wish they would apply the same rule to cigarette smoking. So much dangerous smoke and trash everywhere you go.

The only thing I could find on F-droid was "LoopBoard" which seems to no longer be receiving updates.

Using them currently for Against the Storm. Way easier than moving the cursor around with the joystick.

Why would I memorize financial information from a company I left years ago just to share it with random strangers on the internet?

Didn't know that, wild!

It depended on many factors like the size of the venue, length and instrumentation of the piece, also the genre. I can't give you an amount in € off the top of my head how much I earned lol.

Actually GEMA takes a percentage from the big pop musicians to help fund the contemporary/avantgarde composers who would otherwise earn a lot less. There are plenty of things to complain about with GEMA but I think for the most part they do a lot to support smaller, more obscure genres. (I ran a publishing company for contemporary music in Germany for ten years, so I had a lot to do with GEMA)

It works the same way in Germany. If you're playing music in essentially any venue, even just on the radio, you pay a royalties fee. For places that do it everyday there is usually a flat yearly fee. At least here, a good chunk of that money does indeed fund other cultural endeavors.

Some stretches do have limits. But even where there are no speed limits there are suggested maximum limits. If you're over that limit and have an accident (that normally might not be deemed your fault) you're more likely to be held liable.

I don't known if you've been paying attention to the SAG strike, but it's been really eye opening for me! Of course it sucks to pay 10$ for an autograph from a millionaire, but I wouldn't assume to know how much they all actually make from acting gigs.

 

Hey Folks!

I've been living abroad for over half my life in a country where tipping is not the norm. At most you would round up. 19€ bill? Here's a 20, keep this change.

Going to the US soon to visit family and the whole idea of tipping makes me nervous. It seems there's a lot of discussion about getting rid of tipping, but I don't know how much has changed in this regard.

The system seems ridiculously unfair, and that extra expense in a country where everything is already so expensive really makes a difference.

So will AITA if I don't tip? Is it really my personal responsibility to make sure my server is paid enough?
