Take a check?  Even when I get one I use my bank app to take a picture of it.  Still an extra step that no one under 30 WANTS to do.  May as well pay them in rolls of nickels.

Gotta be honest, that does sound like you are 30 years past your time. Not having the current and most up-to-date way to make mobile payments, who cares, but to not have ANY way to make mobile payments seems like you are trying hard to avoid it.

When you were there were you ordering fries or a drink?  That is where McD makes all the money (especially the drinks), so losing a customer who was ordering a wrap or two but nothing else may be losing a customer with a $0.25 profit and it was making the line too long for the person who was a $1.25 profit customer…

But were you going there to order them? That’s the issue. They were a nice option but I am sure the POS data indicated that they weren’t luring customers in and were probably taking away from higher profit options (like you’d get a snack wrap if you were with your friend who was getting a meal, but if its not on the…

As a white, hetero, cis, Christian, not all of us are Karen’s (and their male equivalents), but when you look at those truly shitty, shitty people who treat service industry staff as beneath them, then overwhelmingly are part of my demographic.

This is exactly it. I mean the founders of Brown University were involved in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Does that mean that by attending Brown AOC is associated and supports slavery? Of course not.

Most people here are way too young, but the author writes this in the voice of Flo from the 70s TV show Alice.  Go find a clip and if that isn’t the central casting version of Salty Diner Waitress, I don’t know what is.  Its also pretty close to what Cheryl Hines character would say in the 2007 file Waitress.  Again,…

Oh a 1000%. That’s why most of these cases are white men exhibiting dominance over POC or women. I just hadn’t seen anything that made WarnerMedia unable to say they were for social justice (anymore than any other brand that is), like if this had been specifically racially related issue.

I have only been partially following this, but I didn’t think it was a race (or more specifically a race-specific) thing.

Possibly. I mean given the modification they could have come up with an interior door release for the side bay door. Something really custom since those bays are not designed to be opened from the inside, but not impossible.

It varies based on where you are, but in the Suez Canal you are correct. Found this link on a site when I Googled. Since its from 2004 from a maritime insurer I going to assume they A) know their stuff, and B) weren’t just reacting from this incident:

Not really... Found this on a random website from 2004 that references the Suez Canal rules:

Agreed. The ability to get paid to talk about the trip (and therefore take tax deductions on a lot of the costs) makes this work for Mercedes, but otherwise its a hard sell.

And that’s the only way it works. The $1200 for gas (plus the cost for an oil change and possibly a filter given they are putting nearly 3000 miles on the car). There is no reusable value of that like getting this car running and making fundamental improvements that will be good for years (like tires that will have…

The Jalop is, but the math is not....

My guess is the wheelbase and space for a jet engine required something of that size.  The only things “aerodynamic” back then were sub-compacts.

So darken the photo like how they did on the cover of Time with OJ?  Yeah that’s a really dumb suggestion.  Darken it without the model’s input and concurrence.

Help explain this. She was hired to be used in a old wedding photo of an already cast actress. She was picked from headshots as she looked similar (same cheekbones, nose etc.) However, the actual actress was dark-skinned and this background stand-in was lighter in tone.

Season 1 is the exception to that. It was basically a bunch of people who were looking to live in NYC rent free because they were pursuing their dreams of working in the arts. 3 are musicians, one is studying dance, another’s a painter, there’s a poet. The only “outspoken” one is Eric who was just a model from Jersey l…

I remember having a birthday party at McDonalds (probably around 1980-81). They would have a big yellow cooler with a red top (like a Gatorade cooler at an NFL game) that had Orange Drink in it.  I have no memory of it being available other than for birthday parties (i.e. only from that cooler and not from the soda…
