This does seem excessive.

In this case, it seems like the inability to serve the time concurrently instead of consecutively is part of the problem, too. Even if the judge can’t exercise discretion on the minimums, perhaps the judge should be able to do so with regard to the consecutive vs. concurrent issue. Not that that solves all problems…

I appreciate this mini-history! I’ve wondered about this a bit and it’s cool to see someone has dug in on it.

Sounds like the issue here is expectations. The Chef seems to see his food as art and subjective and therefore thinks the customer should appreciate the intent if not the experience in and of itself. The writer seems to think that the courses served were so miniscule and weird that it was a parody—like she paid for…

Maybe if we ask really nice, the sun will just aim them at social media. But leave YouTube, because I can’t watch my guitar shows without that.

If the two videos in the article are good examples, I think I see the potential issue the studio has: It looks like the visual aspect of the video is all edited from the source material or an altered version of it. A studio could take the perspective that his/their editing the visuals together is a re-edit and…

So basically it looks from this study like the Pfizer vaccination probably won’t keep you from getting this variant, but it’s likely to keep it from getting as bad if/when you do get this variant. And, the virus hasn’t changed so much yet as to make the vaccinations obsolete.

Yeah, we need more meme categories for people to speedrun at GDQs!

I was pretty frustrated at the time, thinking “they gave away my pie!” In the end, it’s a story I can tell once in a while. It can lean funny, lean for sympathy, or lead to spiritual/philosophical conversations about what we’re owed out of life and how we respond to disappointment. I left that night pie poor and story…

A McDonalds apple pie memory:

I frequented Del Taco when I lived in California. I’m glad they’re holding the dollar menu down! I moved to Texas about 12 y/a. They made a go of it in the Dallas Metroplex but were beat out by the others here: Taco Cabana (good for breakfast tacos), Rosa’s Cafe (best around here), Taco Casa (not the greatest but ok),…

So he’d rather drive his money than eat it. OK.

I think whoever can re-launch a viable $1 value menu first, if ever again, will take a big part of the market. I’m usually either looking for the cheapest food or the least bad-for-me food, and I’d imagine I’m not the only cheapskate out here.

What I’m more disappointed with is that I apparently care about this enough to read an article about whether or not they guy voicing Mario in a movie that I suspect is only being made because theaters have lobbied video game companies to help them put more affluent pre-teen butts in their mostly empty fold-down seats w…

I’m glad you addressed that the amount of info is so vast that it’s beyond anyone to make all of the possible connections. I have a feeling human intuition would lead to connections that AI wouldn’t find, but finding them is a real “needle in a haystack” situation. I think it’s healthy to be humbled by the vastness of…

The vanilla milkshake McDonalds had in the late 80s and early 90s. The pre-McCaffe one is something I miss. Maybe it’s childhood nostalgia but it was the standard against which other milkshakes were to be judged.

We ration it to help them understand what a reasonable amount of candy is to eat in a sitting. It’s also useful to have it around for a long time to use as a small dessert that we don’t have to pay for. As they age, we ease up on the constraints and let them figure it out more on their own. We agreed that it was wise…

The first people to watch will be the die-hards. They will find the flaws. It’s basically in Beta. It will take a while before it trends among casual viewers, assuming it makes it at all. It’ll keep those of us who remember the show and might want to watch it again subscribed for a while, they’ll probably fix it, then…

It’d be great if one of these Mexican-style fast food places made really good and consistent churros. Taco Bueno is the only one that comes to mind and the quality level is low. They need to be treated like fries at McDonalds but they end up getting treated more like salad at Waffle House.
