  • It really depends. I live ina rural town with about 17,000 residents. You are allowed chickens in the city limits, but not allowed roosters. I know a few people that have chickens in their yards, but there isn’t really enough apace for a chicken coop and activities in the yards since house are packed in pretty tight within coty limits. Outside city limits i would say about half the farmers have chickens as far as i can tell, but they are fairly reclusive


  • I once tried to set up my first PIN using the year Mark McGwire hit 70 home runs. The problem was that my PIN was 9870, and i quickly realized that was just 1234 with extra steps and had to come up with something else. Unfortunately i have no clue what i changed it to, as it wasn’t able to sit in my mind nearly as well.

    Rent has gone up a lot more than 15% in the past decade. The whole system is rotten and needs to be abolished, but all the servers i know are absolutely struggling right now and depend on getting a 20% tip on each table. How would you feel if half your paychecks were randomly 25% less? Stop going to restaurants that expect a tip by all means, but if you are going somewhere that expects it, you should tip.

    So could you and your coworkers, but restaurant owners are the sleazist, scummiest, and greediest business owners in your community guaranteed. A restaurant in my town had the entire staff fired and the restaurant closed for a month because the owner would rather miss out on a month of business than pay a fair wage.

    Servers usually have to pay in X% of their total sales to the back of house. So if you stiff me on a $90 check, i lose $3 because i still have to pay that much in. I actually had a slow night where bith tables stiffed me so i actually left the restaurant $4 poorer than when i entered. Because ihad a better night the next shift, the owner was able to average me out so that he didn’t have to pay me more than the server minimum wage.
