When at a restaurant, or bar I always tip according to the level of service I was given. I really can't stand when waiters have the notion that regardless of how shitty they treat you they should get a 20% tip, it's absurd.

I always tip the delivery guys, and living in a place there there are a lot of places where they use bicycles to deliver I tip them well haha.

Baristas I will never be ok with people tipping a baritsa. The way I look at it if you are tipping them you should be tipping your cashier at the department store (you know..the one you have run around for 15 min finding sizes for you, or the shoe salesman that has hussled to bring out 20 pairs of shoes for you), or the tanning salon operator (you know..the one that remembers your name EVERY time, takes care to make sure you have a nice clean towel when you go in, and after has to clean up your sweaty mess? I say thins mostly because in my state basically every one makes min wage (a whopping 8 something an hour) and if they don't I've never heard of any base wage being less than 6 something an hour. I know this is different in other places like the south, so always be aware when you are visiting other states, they all have different ways of doing things!

The two brothers split for many reasons, a main one being that Rudolf(who was the business man in the partnership) wanted to go into more fashion/leisure products while Adi(who was more of a product creator/innovator) was set on remaining focused on performance and catering to athletes.

When they split though, not only did it split the whole town but also the family, their brother siding with Rudolf and their sister with Adi (During WW2 their sisters 2 sons were drafted into the war and could have been spared[both died]going to war if they worked for the Dassler brothers company. However Rudolf would not allow it because there was already "too much family conflict in the work place." Their sister never forgave Rudolf.)

Also they split in 1948 and Puma stared in 1948, but adidas wasn't registered as a company until 1949.

oh..can you tell where I work?

Hmm..true. These things may not kill you, but that doesn't mean that they are harmful to you. The whole plastics thing really got me...there have been a lot of studies on the negative effects of bisphenol-a, like in Japan there was a study liking high levels of BPA to infertility. Just like how lead in old paint & in old pipes doesn't kill you, but can negatively effect your health. BLah blah blah....just had to say something about how much I didn't like the list.

Miss Cellania, yes toward the end of life we all have health problems. What I was referring to are health problems mid life that these individuals have. Like the need for gastric bypass surgery, trechiotomies, the higher risk of cancer (which yes many people get cancer that is unrelated to things like smoking, but it is un-denyable that people who do smoke are at a much higher risk. Even chewing tobacco can lead to tongue and jaw cancer that could otherwise have been easily prevented). In other words, in my opinion, there are many other factors excluded and you just cant calculate how much someone will cost through health care, just by how long they live.

Wow..yah..really misleading they way they wrote this. Yes, healthy people live longer, but they need less care. So you can't base the cost off of life span alone....other things need to be factored in.
