There is a $kaycog account still around, but I believe it’s just an imposter account.

Regarding slide 3, that’s one thing I don’t like about my local go-to gas station. It only has three parking spots, one of which is reserved for water/air, and another of which is handicap. You pretty much have to park at the pump when the regular spot is already taken. I suppose I could wait in my car for the other…

I put “using” in quotations marks because they’re downstream users, but they are no doubt using it. Anyway, apparently it is “allowed” in their culture. Shame they are subjected to Walmart of all places for their fits of fancy.

“easily temporarily defeated by the driver”

Those rubberized tubes are not collecting speed data, they are counters, they are collecting traffic volume data.

I think the point was, isn’t shopping at Walmart “using” electricity and gas? Both the store itself and all the electricity/gas it took to manufacture and ship all the products.

The croissant turns my hands to grease.

I’m here for the BEC comparison, that’s my favorite at McD’s breakfast. And yes, to all the commentors, biscuits are dry in nature, but that’s why I order it with OJ.

Blaming DEI is fucking stupid, but I’m still waiting to see if the blame will fall with Boeing or Spirit Aerosystems, or both. Looks like it’s leaning towards Boeing but Spirit’s insurance company is already footing bills for grounded airplanes.

It’s true, one thing I’m glad about my work is that they value my “institutional knowledge” as they call it, due to my many years of experience at the company. One new employee colorfully put it, “Thanks for knowing where the bones are buried.”

I happen to be driving a Crosstrek Wilderness loaner car for the time being. Hate the touch screen, hate the way it looks, hate the vague responses of the gas pedal, brakes, and steering, hate the CVT. But it’s free, so hey, I can get around at least.

A percentage? Not sure how I would have that info. In my instance, it was an Alaskan cruise leaving Seattle. All I can say is you meet a ton of people on the ship (if you want) and you ask them where they’re from, and the majority are local.

On my local cruise, tons were also locals. And no, I would not have had the experience of visiting all those places (by flying) if it weren’t for the cruise option. But that’s like, another added benefit, right? One vacation, four destinations. Depends what you’re trying to accomplish.

These programs come with minimums? I only ever read about the maximums.

I’ve been on 2 cruises. One I had to fly to and from port, one departed from my home town. Each cruise also went to four locations. So what would’ve required 10 flights to accomplish only required two.

I recently got two McDouble’s for $4.  Seemed like a fair deal.

But how is it easier to predict how much will last all day by ordering the sliced meat? It makes no sense.

The food waste complaint is a head scratcher. Were they not throwing out the pre-cut meat when it reached its presumably shorter shelf life? Or is it that the meats actually are different, and the precut stuff was packed with preservatives that the “fresh” cut meat doesn’t contain?

$5 Subway is a long way in the rearview mirror.

Too old to drive a Ferrari? Is he trading it in for a red rocker?
