A Proper Uppercut posted:Bbq derail, I started visiting Georgia regularly for work last year, and was really disappointed that I guess Georgia isn't southern enough to have much BBQ? I’ve never been there but Fox Bros in Atlanta has come up in friend chats. I’m on west coast though so I haven’t had reason to visit yet.

The really good places aren’t really publicized well and are kind of in the middle of nowhere or attached to an AME church. You just have to know they’re there. You’re looking for somewhere that serves it naked with sauce on the side. Of course, if you put that thick sweet style sauce on it, the meat doesn’t really matter. Vinegar sauce is the true accompaniment.

Even if you didn’t know the prior meaning of the word, 30 seconds of Wikipedia would tell you that the channel started before Nick Cannon was even born. Something tells me that wouldn’t qualify as “proof” to them, though.

Anne Whateley posted:I'm not any kind of hospitality expert, but I don't think so, I think it's more of "if nobody's booked for overnight, maybe we could at least get someone in for less for the day." Some sketchier places base their whole business on it, though. They generally wouldn't try to turn over a room twice in one day. The housekeepers do almost all of their work from about 0900-1600 most places and after that any emergencies are handled by other staff.

Messed up and co-signed a bail bond. He ran.quote:I very stupidly helped an old friend bail her boyfriend out of jail. I happened to be back in town that weekend and she called me and said she didn't have a full time job so they wouldn't approve her to co-sign but she had all of the money up front, wanted him out for Christmas, promised up and down that she and his family would make sure he was there at court dates, and she's typically been trustworthy in the past. I agreed and met up with her and the bail bonds people and the guy's stepmom, signed paperwork,etc. I didn't realize until I got there how much I was risking but felt like I couldn't back out, everyone was there, so I trusted her and signed and they broke up not long after Christmas, he missed his court date, and now they're looking for him. They say he was in handcuffs at one point and got away, then his family asked for a week to get him there because they didn't want cops poking around because they apparently have some illegal business, and now he's just gone again. Is there anything more I can do to not have to pay this money? I realize I'm responsible here, I agreed, but it's $28,000 (I thought they said 20K when I signed.) And does anybody know how payment works? Can I make a monthly payment? Any other advice besides the obvious not to be an overly trusting idiot?

There is but there is a weird inverse logarithmic relationship to population and quality. The more zeroes in a town's population the farther out you have to drive to find decent BBQ.

I always though you had to PAY 10% in order for the bondsman to take the risk for the other 90%. Luckily I never had to find out personally.

Like isn't what happened the risk the bail bondsman signed up for? You pay 10% and the bail bond company covers the rest. If you bailee jumps you can expect the bail bond company is gonna want the 90% you owe or the person to show up in court.

JnnyThndrs posted:I always though you had to PAY 10% in order for the bondsman to take the risk for the other 90%. Luckily I never had to find out personally. Correct, at least in my state. You pay the 10% up front to the bondsman and it's gone forever even if you show up for all court appearances. AreWeDrunkYet posted:Isn't the whole point of a bail bond that you're only liable for 10% or so of the bail instead of the full amount? Like isn't what happened the risk the bail bondsman signed up for? A bail bondsman is a licensed professional. This is just an idiot who cosigned the bond agreement because the arrestee didn't have the resources or didn't want to put up their own resources to post bail.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_God_for_Mississippiquote:"Thank God for Mississippi" is an adage used in the United States, particularly in the South, that is generally used when discussing rankings of U.S. states. Since the U.S. state of Mississippi commonly ranks at or near the bottom of such rankings, residents of other states also ranking near the bottom may say, "Thank God for Mississippi," since the presence of that state in 50th place spares them the shame of being ranked last.

Some second degree acquaintance is heavily into crypto, but considering everything went down the shitter currently, he's looking for other opportunities to lure people into, to cash out on acquisition premiums (or some poo poo). He's been yapping a whole lot about something called The View (this bullshit: https://successfactory.com/the-view), which is something "virtual vacations" or whatever the gently caress. He's been fantasizing a whole lot of bullshit regarding that topic, about how VR is the next huge step humanity will do, going on tangents you'd expect from 12 year olds getting excited about something new, etc yadda yadda. Until I eventually shut him up asking about actually owning a VR headset, to which, after some awkward pause, he replied no. What the gently caress is wrong with these people?!

It's business brain wherein you don't have to actually know anything about the product to make money from hawking it. For example, in colonial Europe it was often considered uncouth for a trader to visit the warehouses holding the goods he bought and sold.

It's impressive just how unclearly they describe what it is they do? Are they a trading platform? Do they have their own coin? Are they advisors? Is it a school? Is it free? Do you buy something? Do they get a commission?   Ahhhh it's a pyramid scheme At least they're a professional outfit (the CTO founded "another startup", so you know he's good) and not just copy pasting whatever they can on as many pages as possible  Hmmm, well I'm sure you can just cancel your "membership" (still haven't found a price) anyti-  Their Ts & Cs, Risk disclosure and Distribution condition docs are all worth a look.
