Why all the hate and resentment.

2025.01.22 04:24 CarpePrimafacie Why all the hate and resentment.

I just paid nearly 19 for a buger fries and drink combo at jib. Now I understand food prices and labor especially here are driving costs. But in that moment it was like being a regular joe in public. It was momentarily shocking. I also got to hear the people ahead of me raising a fit about it. I dont know how we as a group can educate the public that it isnt the big rich restaurant owners doing this. I make less as an owner than I could working full time anywhere. Have not figured year end margin but I would guess -1% to -20% due to old building repairs. Wont have numbers until I parse all that out. Usually it is near 2% removing repairs, but again old building that is NNN and everything inside is aged out. Wish 3 years ago I replumbed it all. Doing so now but only after constant plumbing expenses.
My concern is the level of hatred all restaurants are getting for the high prices. Have they not seen the costs of chicken beef or eggs over the last 4 years? wages are state managed and are double what they were a few years ago for certain prevailing wages and min wge is 50% higher. UI is crazy at 8% due to covid or whatever and we never have any claims. rent goes up 1k yoy and I have to just figure it out. Contractors, plumbers and electricians and hvac are still scalping everyone and the work is substandard most of the time. 165/ hr for my most recent plumber and I am praying he is a good find. 10k for a company plumbing co to come dig out a cleanout 6 ft underground and thats normal for ranges contractors are charging. 5k is pretty normal monthly repair costs. It is either the plumbing or hvac each month for about 3 uears. Finally just running new pipe and capping old garbage pipes. The constant repairs are not abnormal for a restaurant, I have jist been blessed with a horribly past its useable life system.
The public thinks oh their menu is 15 to 22 and always cpmplain even when the portions are more than they should eat in one sitting.
I have a couple side gigs where I volunteer time with taxes and nonprofit work and hear the vitreal towards restaurants but nothing against the grocers that habe actually been price gouging ( kroger for example). The public is always first to jump on a rant about restaurants and owners and have zero idea how tight things are running one. The only thing I hear more hatred for is in politics.
This year I was supposed to finally hit profit but a full bath repipe and now the rest of all supply lines puts me back in negative. 2025 is hopefull but only because almost everything has been replaces over the last 3 years.
As a group we are not communicating to the public that costs are this high because it is what we pay to get it to them.
Somehow the 3rd party apps communicate value and are both overpriced and underpriced for the service.
I am just exhausted over the perceptions out there.

2025.01.22 04:24 Top-Importance6965 Why does Rougarou get so much hate?

People always say it's headbangy but the only roughness I get is during that figure 8 during the second half, I get it can be a little uncomfortable but I've heard people compare it to corkscrew and blue streak.

2025.01.22 04:24 The_Cheese_Meister Across the Void (3)

As I mentioned before, I've already drafted the early ones, so that's why I'm posting them at this rate.
First | Prev |

Memory transcription subject: Taigan Commander Aryn-Lekesh-Volyn, Naryx Hegemony Fleet Command
Date [standardized human time]: March 28, 2137
I slowly blinked my front eyes open, the others still full of spots. The console in front of me was still on, but on emergency power. That suggested the main reactor, and the fusion engine built around it were completely dead. The readouts showed that most of our starboard face was severely damaged, and I tuned in on the engineering channel to see how they were responding. Makel was shouting orders at whatever technicians were still conscious, desperately trying to limit the damage while crawling through the interstitial layers. I quickly sent one of the techs an urgent command to check the fold drive, then contacted every suit to see who was awake.
Okri was the first to respond. “I– yeah, I’m alive… I think. I’m… I’m going to run a scan to see whatever… that was.”
Kane simply sent an affirm ping, citing a broken comm link
Mari seemed to be fully alert and conscious, tinkering with her radio judging by the odd signal pulses coming from it.
That left Astai the only unresponsive main office; a miracle given that whatever hit us was able to tear apart the whole starboard face without even needing a direct hit. I racked my brain to find anything we could do, sifting through every data menu available while slowly regaining my senses. When I got to our external comm data, I barely stifled a gasp. Despite being set on an automatic alert switch, our distress signal had somehow been blocked. pulling up the radar screen and fine-tuning some settings, I immediately felt a sinking pit in my gut. The enemy ship was terrifyingly close, well into ballistics range, with two more blips appearing on the screen around halfway between us.
Mari finally got her voice channel working again with a loud burst of static, immediately shouting loud enough to make me flinch. “WE’RE GOING TO BE BOARDED, IDIOTS! GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE OR WE’RE ALL DEAD.” The few marines on board were already scrambling at her command, gathering near the internal airlock.
While a commander should never be throwing themselves into danger, I decided this was an extenuating circumstance that justified getting my hands dirty. Still, I took a moment to set a remote link between my controls and suit computer, just to be safe. I slowly clambered through the ladder to my station, pushing off into the central shaft before drifting to the armory. The door was already open, so I grabbed a laser rifle and some spare charge packs before moving further down. Flipping around and pulling my body into the third deck, I could see eight people already silently preparing for a firefight in the airless corridor. They were mostly communicating with hand gestures, tail movement, and body language; normally used in case of jamming. Barriers were maglocked to the walls with people latching to any available surface that offered cover. I pushed through the chaos to reach Mari, hoping she knew more.
She raised one four-fingered hand, both pairs fully extended in opposite directions to acknowledge my presence. I gesture to the door with my upper set of fingers extended, followed by a slight tail flick to ask about numbers. Her hands flipped through several signs with exaggerated motions to be seen through the pressure suit, indicating “two ships, both small, don’t know person number, probably a lot.”
I offered a quick hand nod in affirmation before sending a radio message to the full crew. “Be ready to move if needed. Most cutters can’t get through our armor fast enough to be worth it, but we don’t know what tech they have or what that blast did to our material integrity.” I pause to think for a few seconds before continuing. “Assume any weapon they have is exceptionally deadly, and that they’re extremely durable. Maybe they aren’t, but I don’t want to risk anything. Flechettes and lasers only, we don’t need any more hull breaches.”
I take the next few moments to calm my nerves while attaching to the “ceiling.” My helmet visor fogged up with every shaky breath, and I tried to keep my snout angled downward to avoid blocking my vision. I double-checked that I had a magnetic needle chambered in my pistol and the laser rifle I picked up was fully charged, then mentally went through a checklist of every suit component and cutoff ring in case I had a breach.
The agonizing stillness was broken with a heavy thunk felt through the hull. The small lights around the airlock door were still green, meaning it was pressurized. Ideally, it would blast back into the enemy craft once the outer door is opened, buying us more time and maybe scoring some injuries. I soon felt a slight shudder that probably meant the outer door was being forced open. Oddly, the lights stayed completely green, rather than the yellow that should have marked partial pressure. I try to think about what that might mean when I’m interrupted by a reverberating click barely felt through the hull. Our hatch began to crack open, our unknown adversaries waiting to strike.

2025.01.22 04:24 Timeless_Sands Nippon Steel's Unlikely Legal Battle: Analyzing the Lawsuit Against Biden

The Nippon Steel lawsuit is a complex legal battle stemming from President Biden's rejection of Nippon Steel's bid to acquire United States Steel, citing national security concerns under CFIUS regulations. Nippon Steel's legal challenge focuses on proving due process violations and a vested property interest before the rejection, facing a high bar set by precedents like the 2012 Ralls case and the broad interpretation of "national security." Their secondary antitrust lawsuit against Cleveland-Cliffs, its CEO, and the United Steelworkers union alleges anti-competitive practices to block the merger, offering a potentially more favorable legal avenue. This case highlights the intricate interplay between international commerce, national security regulations, and antitrust laws, underscoring the complexities businesses face in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, especially when navigating the CFIUS review process. The outcome will significantly impact future CFIUS reviews and influence how such transactions are structured. #NipponSteelLawsuit #CFIUS #NationalSecurity #Antitrust #MergersAndAcquisitions #InternationalBusiness

Story time! I’ve wanted this jersey for years and could never find it in my price range. An eBay seller offered it for less than $40 US! I was actually about to pass on it since I thought it was too big, but it actually fits like an Adidas 54. The seller was very transparent, letting me know ahead of time there were some stubborn scuff marks but after a stain treatment and a single wash, it’s genuinely like new!

Keep going or pivot? Hii ladies! The first two pictures are my current decor in progress. I am redecorating and this is an in-progress look. I was inspired by the last two pictures but I already feel like it won't look as good. I plan to add art on the tv wall area and some colorful items but I keep feeling like it will be ugly. What do you think? Should I keep going or pivot?

2025.01.22 04:24 Interesting_Cable_31 Trouble fitting new drive belt - 1992 Tracker

I am struggling to fit the new drivebelt after replacing my alternator. The replacement alternator is the exact same as the original but I can't pivot it fully as the body of the alternator contacts the upper bracket. It leaves me short by a fraction of an inch so I can't get the belt on the pulley. Am I missing something obvious here?

I have a chart on my sheet. I don't know how it's calculating 150%, but there is no reason anything should be higher than 100% as 100% is all.
If someone could help find a solution to make this chart display from 0% to 100% instead of the 150% that would be nice! 3 images in this link: https://imgur.com/a/XpUxnb4
