If tips are expected, then should prices reflect the after-tip price?
What do you all think? If a tip is expected, then just show the after tip price on the menu or whatever (taxi/ride fare, hotel rate, etc.) and the the restaurant/whoever can define employees wages as tip income or not with their accountants.
And while they're at it, go ahead and show the after-tax value as the price?
To me at least, this would feel less like bait and switch to me.
Forerunner or Fenix as thin as a Venu X1?
Is there anything approaching this or on the horizon?
I've scoured the Garmin site and looking at old and new models. The Forerunners and Fenix seem to get thicker and heavier with each generation. I'm very tempted by the Venu X1 but I know it'll be too big on my wrist and I know I'll miss the 5-button setup of my Forerunner 255s.
I actually love my 255s and it's still going strong after 4 years and taking some pretty hard hits. I just want some of the upgraded sensors and I'm willing to take the battery life hit for something less bulky.
I'd pay good money for basically the Forerunner 570 that's only 8 or 9 mm thick and would be even gooder money if it had an MIP screen.

Compact, sporty electric pickup inspired by retro futuristic Ioniq 5
Would anyone want an Ioniq 5 crossed with a Santa Cruz?
I love my I5 (and its retro futuristic styling) but really like the look of and could use the features of the Hyundai Santa Cruz but would want it to be an EV. If they made this at a reasonable price with a 100-kWh battery, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
(BTW, I owned a Rivian R1T before my I5 and it was too big for my taste.)
No ICCU issues so far
2024 Ioniq 5 SEL AWD with 18,000 miles. So far zero issues.
I feel a bit like I'm tempting fate by posting this and there is no wood in sight to knock on... But people are always pointing out that people without problems don't post as much.
I do know three other people with I5s. One of them did have an ICCU issue. It's a small sample size.
I have noticed slow level 2 (240 volt AC) charging in the summer due to temperature throttling and maybe that helps. I also set my level 2 current limit 36 amps IIRC, so maybe that also helps.
Has anyone tried 275/45R21 tires? I know they'd underreport speed by about 3%
I have 21-inch wheels and would like a bit more sidewall than the 275/40R21 offers but without having to buy new wheels. I know that they'd underreport speed by about 3%.
I'm really just curious if anyone has tried this and, if so, what their experience has been. Is clearance ok?
Edit: I'm also aware of other rim options and costs. I'm asking specifically about these tire sizes.
The Supreme Court’s ruling yesterday in Callais v. Louisiana has essentially gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by raising the bar for proving discrimination. This decision comes in the middle of an unprecedented "mid-decade redistricting race" where both parties are aggressively redrawing maps to secure House majorities for the 2026 midterms.
Most media coverage treats this like a sports rivalry—who is winning the "map war"? And some interviews of voters show that some feel it is necessary to fight back to counter others' efforts and/or they think it's unfair. But very little attention is being paid to a structural fix: Proportional Representation through Multi-Member Districts (MMDs).
A five-seat multi-member district using Ranked Choice Voting makes "packing and cracking" mathematically difficult and could enable minority representation. FairVote, Cornell University and others have written on this.
Discussion Questions:
What are the roadblocks to multiple-member districts? Legal, political, other?
Why isn't this coming up in media reporting?
