I only tip on traditionally tipped service. Barber, tattoo artist, barista, bartender, waitstaff, pizza delivery... I'm sure there are more but that's my usual. I'm not tipping the people at fast food or the other places that

The big expensive malls are doing fine. I would never buy anything from half the stores because it's too expensive, but I guess somebody is buying. I go there for the Lego and Apple Stores, and restaurants (Cheesecake factory isn'

HPE took over Aruba wireless and Nimble storage. We used both products. They didn't fuck with Nimble support much. As of a few years ago, it was still great. Aruba wireless...oh man. The support was so terrible. We had some high availa
