Not to mention that his advice on cars is only about 30 years out of date. Cars hold their value much more than they used to. They don’t depreciate 30% when you drive them off the lot anymore.

I’ve never traded in a car.* Every time we’ve bought a new car, we’ve owned it til it was paid off, then “driven it into the ground” until it was financially necessary to have a new car, then put up enough cash to get a good term. No stupid high financing and no stupid long payment schedules. Right now we have two paid…

I don’t think about sticker price or payment nearly as much as I consider cost of ownership.

I too tend to keep my vehicles for a very long time.

I also keep them forever and this is a car website, why are people more worried about the financial investment of a car than enjoying driving what they want. 

Associating demographics with the snack foods they prefer can be majorly valuable to advertisers so they can focus their propaganda more efficiently.

It’s my understanding that a humble cheeseburger can really do wonders for the happiness of the chef. Especially, if the burger is made with American cheese. American cheese is the best cheese for a cheeseburger, because it melts without splitting.

I guess all automation is now ‘AI’?

Ahh ok so that’s why Albertson’s wants to buy them.

Yep, pretty much. My buddy programs conveyor belts for huge assembly lines and doesn’t claim to be an AI programmer, this isn’t really anything different.

Keep in mind, that a central kitchen standardizes the prep for scale and consistency (all locations have “identical” foods/taste and in some cases appearance).. it doesn’t necessarily impart any practical cost savings.. because again, food now needs additional prep for transport (the actual transport as well as…

Not only is gold leaf cheap, but it adds NOTHING to the food. Gold leaf has no taste it just looks pretty without adding anything to the food.

Yeah, this is the next natural progression of the Ray Kroc system of simplifying tasks and replacing “line cooks” with “machine loaders”.

I believe I read somewhere that each location would have 3-6 employees, unlike the 15-25 of a regular fast food joint.

Because it’s better for the environment? 

See I thought it would taste like coke mixed with Korean Idol sweat.

They need to bring back their grilled chicken for one, because that’s what was available before and has also been axed from the menu in recent years, leaving fried as the only option. I always only got grilled chicken wraps and I got them all the time.

Stop trying to make Turner D. Century happen.

on one hand less physical options sucks on the other...disney movie club was a predatory trash fire in how they got people.stuck paying $20+ per movie for their intro special.

Oh god no, we used to go in there high late at night because the only places open later than 10 were that and Donut Queen but the food was actually good then. They would fry fresh, good quality chicken strips and have good burgers and fries that weren’t kept in steamy plastic.
