Neither Beowulf or Stanley made it into round 3 of the Great Character Wars.Link to these so I may rage in turn?
Ok well would this robot be able to speak? Flooding the universe with an atmosphere so that audible waves can carry might be beyond our budget. We could have it transmit radio waves, but I think we need to apply for a permit for that and lets face it, depending on our enemies carrying a radio around constantly isn't a safe bet. But then again a mute giant robot just isn't as intimidating...The Allspark is powered by Phlebtonium, so that should suffice.
Okay, and that's yet another one down. Two to go!Fniff be on a roll!
Preferably we could turn it into a giant god robot a la Primus from Transformers.What's the cost of making the moon into a FULLY OPERATIONAL BATTLE STATION?Well I mean it really depends on what you mean. Are we building a giant ion cannon on the far side of the moon, or are we hollowing the damn thing out and building a laser with such intensity it can melt planets? Is it manned or automated? Can we steer it? Is is just a giant refueling hanger for our ships? Do you want cup holders?
The engineers can not begin to make plans until you are more specific. 'Fully operational battle station' is just too vague.
It makes the line "that's no moon" hella awkward, I can say that much.That's no moon ... that's the moon.
Does someone wanna break out the "smallest violin" rant from Reserviour Dogs on this one? The issue is not "should or shouldnt I tip?", it is "How in blue hell do companies get away with paying them such a shitty wage that they need the tips to survive?" I find it hard to believe that its legal to pay them less than minimum based on tips.I was wondering that myself. How below minimum are we talking here?
Look for the tome of dark magic. After all, we do get a vague "magical item." What could be better than that? It could even be more gold! Magical gold!
We need to get a tv show with Bongo Spider going. He will have friends like "Trombone Snake", and "Really tall building didgeridoo"."Vuvuzela Human", the villain.
Wait, is underpay allowed because of tipping or tipping allowed because of underpay?Tipping is a really hot-button issue, actually. May want to avoid that.Tipping is a hot issue? Eh, world we live in is strange.
Waiters/waitresses tend to be consistently paid below minimum wage, which is allowed because of the practice of tipping. It's a shitty job to begin with, and you're relying on the generosity of the customers to earn enough to pay rent, bills, tuition, etc. (if you don't work for a place that automatically adds a gratuity to the bill, that is, which is becoming increasingly common in no small part because of the jackasses that leave $1 tips). I always try to tip 15% unless the service was exceptionally terrible, even when it's a stretch on my wallet. It's a really shitty thing to undertip someone who did a decent job. And, frankly, if you can afford to eat out, you can afford to leave a tip.
