I know I’m in a minority judging from the comments whenever In and Out is brought up, but for me, their fries are the best thing on the menu. They taste like potatoes, and I freaking love potatoes. I don’t need them twice fried or any of that nonsense. Just a little salt and ketchup.

I’m not saying you can’t have a good digital menu board, but it seems all the ones I see (mainly McDonalds and Burger King around where I live) they don’t show the entire menu the entire time. Instead, sections cycle through offerings, and I absolutely hate it.

When the Vin Diesel v The Rock battle was (still is?) going on, it was amazing to me how many people just completely ate up all of The Rock’s PR. They’re probably both egotistical, but the common narrative for some time was that Vin was basically the devil, while the Rock was the best ever.

Also really missed is the Qui Gon/Maul fight on Tatooine. It’s short, but awesome.

In a lot of bigger cities, they simply won’t do this.

It’s probably a ductless minisplit system. They’re really popular when you want to retrofit an older house with AC.

Was pretty curious about the stat that apparently 57% of people go out to eat for their Christmas meal. Clicking on the link, it immediately shows that this article is mis-representing the data. The quote is:

I’m like you- I get a fresh towel once a week, unless something happened to it requiring an early wash. But in your guest’s defense, they might have just been raised using a new towel every day (my brother’s in-laws are like this), and they might have just assumed that everyone was like them.

Yes, Avatar had great special effects- but do not discount it as just that. It wasn’t the effects, it was the world. Creating a world like Pandora was a creative achievement, that people loved. There have been lots of movies with great special effects that did not create near as wonderful of a world that Avatar did.

So I didn’t encounter any of these discussions, but by far the most “terminally online” discussion I did encounter was people saying Chris Pratt thanking God for a healthy child meant he hated his handicapped child.

This re-writing of history, pretending that people weren’t blown away by Avatar when it came out is hilarious. Essentially everyone loved Avatar (and I bet if you were being honest, you did too).

There’s somewhere I go for work travel that has a Papa Murpheys, and I stay in an extended stay hotel, so I always get excited thinking I can get one, but then I remember the hotel only has a range, not an oven.

The Trader Joe’s ones are very disappointing.

Do people not already know this? Food delivery is the biggest ripoff in the modern economy. It deserves all the ire we give to printer ink.

You can’t remove things from the internet. That video exists, it’s out, and people who want to see it, will see it. Amazon removing it just means they’ll get it from torrents, TOR, etc. But Amazon keeping it up, allows people who want to watch it for good reasons (people who work to end anti-semitism in this world) an…

I’m with Disney- not because I’m opposed to swearing, or don’t think that Star Wars should be “adult” or whatever, but I don’t like swearing in Fantasy (or Sci-Fi that is not “near future” or directly linked to Earth) because it makes it seem too connected to Earth.

I agree. But body cam footage is controlled by the cops, and rarely do we get it released unedited and in a timely manner.

Live streaming does nothing that sending a text while waiting for the officer to walk up to the car couldn’t do.

While I agree NFTs are dumb, stories like this remind me they’re no dumber than the types of collector items we’ve had for centuries.
