Overwhelmingly when polled, waits staff much prefer to keep tipping over a living wage. They make far more from tips. Trust me, me not giving a waitress a tip isn't the line that keeps he kids from dying of hunger.

Not the answer you want, but for me, I quit cold turkey after smoking a pack a day for 15 years.

The thing that helped is that I wasn't being forced to quit for health or social reasons. I simply realized that all smoking a cigarette was doing was making me not want to smoke another cigarette for 30 minutes. I felt I had no more desire to continue the trend.

The first week sucked. I ended up rolling loose-leaf paper into the cylindrical shape of a cigarette, putting Scotch tape on one end, and poking holes into it so that dragging on it felt like dragging on a cigarette. That actually got me through week 2.

After that, the pull to smoke was far, far weaker. It's weird. It ends up coming in waves. You're fine, you're fine, then you get an overwhelming urge to light up. The need lasts for about 30 seconds and goes away quickly. Over time, the frequency between those cravings gets longer, and the cravings get smaller. At some point, I just didn't feel like smoking at all anymore.

But yeah, the first few weeks are not great.

Best of luck!

Edit: my main advice here is that if you don't feel like you really want to quit, you're going to have a much harder time. If your plan is to taper down, it may be torture. If you're plan is "I'll only show myself this one" every so often, it's going to be a long, drawn out losing process.

I've never seen an illuminated logo from manufacturers other than those I've listed. Large, sure. Though some like Kia or Hyundai I haven't seen get huge. Honda, maybe?

"African American culture is the antithesis to your argument. Even the most wealthy individuals sporting logos of all kinds, literally as status symbols."

Really you're describing the difference between striking it rich and generational wealth.

"Free"

The amount of money that those conferences cost my job and the amount of time I spend blocking cold calls from vendors that gave me shwag...

 

A congressman intervened to help former President Donald Trump’s social media company jump the line for a difficult-to-obtain foreign-worker visa to bring a company executive to the U.S., according to interviews and records reviewed by ProPublica.

A former staffer for Rep. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, said the congressman personally instructed her to help Trump Media, even though she thought it was inappropriate to mix politics with the office’s constituent services duties.

 

Hidyho.

A few months ago I was watching a YouTube video of a woman bottling her kombucha. She had bottlecaps that would bulge when the carbonation was just right.

I looked for those tonight via searching on Google but couldn't really find the right thing.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

This would be perfect for my kombucha and water kefir tester bottles.
