I get where you’re coming from—occasionally I’ll snap photos too to let my friends know about a place that I think they’ll probably like. But this ban isn’t widespread, and I assume some chefs implement it to be on the side of caution against potential disruption to other customers or staff.

Personally, I think paying…

Yeah, technically the Mormon Trail started Nauvoo, IL just across the river from Iowa and Missouri. They were driven out of Independence, MO and Kirtland, OH previously.

But I wanted to highlight Missouri because, y’know, Cardinals fans.

Didn’t these guys get forced out of Missouri because they were such assholes?

Can’t speak for Kevin’s sushi chef, but you see this in Japan sometimes even in cheap places. Space and seating is often limited and the chef has much more control over the rules in the shop. The rationale there is if you’re spending way too much time taking a photo, you’re:

1) Slowing down their turnover, a big deal…

These new renovated airport restos/grilles/bars are the worst.

A few months ago I flew out of EWR Terminal C and was surprised to see the rows of counters with tablets where one can order food to have it brought to you. Using a communal, gunky tablet is definitely unsanitary, and some perfectly good, powered outlet…

More power to you if you’re content with bitony of just ranch and honey mustard. Myself being a Fancy Dan, cannot conceive of eating it with fewer than four sauces, of which two must include Burger King’s Zesty Sauce and Chick-Fil-A Sauce.

Just two dipping sauces? Sorry, but if you expect me (and five other friends) to choke down that much dry chicken, I’m going to need at least a 6er flight of sauces of my own choosing. It should also come with selfie service.

I mean, let’s be reasonable here.

Apple-Cranberry all day, every day!

Based on what I’ve read in Jezebel comments, if this proposal had occurred in the Bay Area, the Warriors’ “Strength in Numbers” would’ve been apropos.

Yep, that was exactly my fear in the original post. Potatoes and creamed corn were the only non-meat/bread/milk items I ended up eating in school those years.

Yeah, eggs, falafel, hummus—as you say in your other post, there are more options these days. But it’s pointless if the food prep/suppliers can’t make them appetizing to kids.

I’m not against Meatless Mondays, but I do want school lunches to be: 1) nutritious given the high % of kids in poverty; 2) tasty enough so that…

Screw dumb people who can’t be bothered to care about others.

Former NYC public school lunch kid here. The protein access concern is legitimate when 25.2% of the under-18 population in NYC lives below poverty and a much higher % of that goes to public schools. My family never suffered from food insecurity, but enough of my friends and classmates did that I saw it firsthand.

The…

Fuck that first pedestrian with a cracked carbon seat post. That crash was on a straight and he just stared down the riders like it was some kind of macho showdown.

The second incident is much more forgivable, since the riders were just coming out of the corner so the dogwalking lady couldn’t anticipate them.

Bora-Hansg…

Giri Nathan blocks Andre Iguodala in the NBA Finals.

John Vandemoer should’ve stuck with baseball.

No, I get that. But the kids should also have a reasonable sense of their own capabilities and schools they can reasonably expect to get into. I assume most of us did when applying for college.

If I’m scoring 25 on ACT practice tests and have a solid 2.2 average in high school and suddenly found out that my ACT score…

Yeah, most of that is just growing up rich and having money, access, and time to things that enhance (naturally or artificially) her looks.

One of my favorite lines from The Three Musketeers is, “Money can’t make an ugly woman pretty, but it can make a pretty woman beautiful.”

I think you know the answer. But if you want me to answer it for you, that’ll be $15,000.
