restaurant is one where you walk-in, order at a counter, then take a number and they bring it to you. i never tip in this scenario but there is a space on the receipt for one. should i be?

Shouldn't bother you.

When they buy their supplies from the vendor, they can buy the receipt paper with a tip line or without a tip line. Seems obv for them to choose with a tip line and seems obv for you to ignore it.

Anyway, if the average high temps in the summer didn't convince you that Houston is exceptionally more hot than St. Louis, this website may:

http://www.currentresults.com/Weathe...ays-cities.php

It's got data over the last 30 years for major US cities and sortsbyheatindex, which is a much more true representation of comfort.

The chart is pretty telling.

Over the 30 years, Houston has averaged 97 days a year (ninety-seven!) with head index above 95 degrees F. St. Louis averages a paltry 35 days a year. Huge difference.

Over the same time period, Houston averaged 15 days a year with heat index above 105 degrees F. St. Louis averages only 7.

Of all the major cities in the chart, only 3 of them average more 95+ heat index days per year than Houston: Phoenix, Tampa, and Miami.

When you look at 105+, now only 2 cities average more days per year: Phoenix and New Orleans (barely - Houston beats NO handily in 95+ days). The 2 Florida cities have much fewer 105+ days than Houston.

So it can be argued that, of the 43 largest cities, Houston ranks behind only Phoenix as the hottest summer city in the US. St. Louis is way behind.

Anyway I know none of this will get through to you and you have something against sandals but I don't even care about that. Hopefully these facts will make it pretty clear to you that the cities aren't even remotely close to being similar summer climates. My anecdotal evidence wasn't enough (lived in STL for 16 years and Houston for 18), but these numbers may actually get through your thick obnoxious skull.

Yeah, it's a PM, but lol. I haven't said anything to him about this, so he must be reading the FACK.

Yeah, the subject was "St. Louis vs. Houston", and I was confused. His first PM was on June 21st, and I just ignored it.

yeah SE went to bat for phb when he got banned by D.!ds, now all the sudden this place is a cesspool of AIDS or whatever

the guy has problems, it's too bad because he can be an entertaining poster when his assburgers isn't acting up

i think he just sees all of us on here posting, having a good time, and has never felt truly accepted and part of the group

kind of like this guy

PHB is a strange case. He can be really funny at times, like with the Gruden twitter account, but he randomly loses his sanity for no reason. Maybe a personality disorder or something? Firing off 500 word PMs is really weird behavior.

PHB had some really really funny posts not that long ago. I even remember replying to one with "when did you become hilarious?" or something similar. Wish he was a little more mellow tho, for his sake.

it's one of those things where he is prone to anger, so people are more prone to try to get him riled up, which makes him angrier (because he can see that people are trying to get him riled but can't avoid getting upset)

The word GING*R makes him fly off the rails. Obv something is wrong with a man when a word makes you unstable.

i usually tip a dollar or two on takeout orders. Most of the people actually cooking/running orders deserve it imo. They make like $8 an hour.

Man I love fried chicken. Could eat it every day. Should have been born black.

Had a company kickball game today. Went 1/3 with a round tripper. Sup.
