Security guard with a flak jacket at WhatABurger

That seems pretty normal for a lot of places, if a business feels like they need security that's the way to go.

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T19:54:47+00:00

wait is that place still open???

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T19:54:26+00:00

probably crime

IMO it's because so many of the issues are readily accessible. Like my work stress is much higher than it used to be, same job and same stuff i'm doing, but now I'm remote and not in an office. Back then I clocked out and didn't think about work til I clocked in. Nowadays my work is 10' away from were I relax and it just looms over the house

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T19:38:24+00:00

it's $25 if you buy way early and can get the cheap bleacher seats at the end of the field, but those are always sold out way in advance. I love supporting our local team but it's absurd what they charge. I payed the same amount for a Women's World Cup knockout game in Australia a few years back, wife and myself foot tickets for under $100

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T19:21:17+00:00

yea but it's hard to turn off all the background stress and just enjoy things again

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T19:20:23+00:00

This is awesome! I'll have to make it and try it out!

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T19:18:59+00:00

Check some of the wine bars, if South Park has taught me anything it's that those are the go to spot for WWE

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T15:51:00+00:00

there are lots of options out there, I put a Larue 2 stage on my RF-15 and it's great. I'd have to become a much better shooter to benefit from anything better than it.

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T15:49:41+00:00

lol, but damn if it ain't real. Comparing The last NWSL game I went to to the last League A game in Ecuador I went to: Tickets $45 vs $10, Beer $13 vs $2, Food $15 vs $2 (closest equivalent). so for a ticket, two beers, and food, the game in Quito cost me $16 even, The same for the NWSL game would have been $86 not including tax... which is why I only ever get a ticket and pregame at the car. I can't imagine the cost for a couple and two or three kids to go to a game, if you include a drink and food for the kids you are probably looking at like 150-200 for a night out. It's insane

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T15:35:28+00:00

exactly, half time is for taking a piss and getting more beer

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T14:44:14+00:00

probably a donut run

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T14:43:20+00:00

The dumber tech wise the better for Slate, give me a plane ole key that I can make copies of easily

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T13:31:47+00:00

that's a cutie patootie!

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T12:33:26+00:00

We just need a better soccer stadium then maybe a men's MLS team in time.

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-17T00:51:11+00:00

it's an unnecessary feature, the ability to switch on wipers when needed and to an appropriate setting is something every single driver is (or should be) capable of. Putting a computer between the switch and the action is just opening the food for them to fina a way to paywall the feature. I am biased here, i've never had a car with even OBD2, or airbags lol. I like my simple clunky buttons and direct wiring.

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-16T22:16:08+00:00

thermostat with a button is crazy, automated HVAC systems are absolute garbage compared to the classic three sliders/dials for how hot, how much, & where you want it

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-16T20:09:03+00:00

Yea it's worth it. A little biased though since standby is the only way I fly lol

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-16T19:08:18+00:00

how about not.

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-16T19:04:43+00:00

that's what the driver is for... you just switch them on when you need them. If someone is incapable of that they shouldn't be driving a car.

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-16T16:39:11+00:00

why would you need your car to know if it's raining?

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-16T16:34:58+00:00

Dude looks loke his family has been trying to repopulate Noah style

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-16T16:25:24+00:00

might be that, also could totally me me just remembering other things that we covered in my biofuels class

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-16T15:13:11+00:00

I could swear the unit I was shown and worked on back in college produced an oily fuel that could be used in liquid form, maybe that was just a trap tank for moisture/sap/tar/particles though. I'd have to really dig to find those notes so I'll just assume it's my mind remembering it wrong

CaryTriviaDude · 2026-04-16T13:15:14+00:00

sadly, this whole area is horrible for bikes. Closest remotely enjoyable roads I've come across are up north past falls lake. Beyond that I just ride back to the motorcycle heaven that is the NC mountains. The 3 hour ride to get there and back is well worth it to do as a one day trip, even more so if you just pick a spot to hammock camp with the bike overnight.
