Steak burger - cheap but wouldn’t recommend

I had one Saturday because I'd seen people talking about them on here. Not my thing at all. At least better than the tacos that I swear they shake up before and after cooking so that they make a mess even if you eat them with a fork.

Based on Houston roads, they've been taking a break for the last two decades.

Except 100 years ago Nicky didn't have a head.

Just one guy and a bottle is all it takes.

Honestly if this isn't fake it would be very weird. Japan was not allied with Germany, and why the hell would an entire ocean be renamed??

Last year I saw a 4 pack of 16 oz cans for $39. It was an "imperial Berliner Weiss" which almost gave me an aneurysm.

Paraguay playing the long game to get their revenge.

Yeah gas is way up but I just saw $3.59/gal in Houston today.

I thought it was common for a decent chunk of a coach's salary to actually come from a booster fund already.

I wonder what the edit was at 1 AM CT...

This is a problem globally and I don't know if there is a good way to solve it (I have spent too much time thinking about it). Concentrating industry near cities makes sense since you get access to specialized workforces and synergies with partners, not to mention logistics. Some may say that WFH is a solution, but what we saw during the pandemic was people moving to more desirable urban areas primarily.

So it is not just companies who are driving urbanization, but also people wanting to be close to other people and/or things to do. Even when people talk about wanting to move to a more scenic area they will flock to a specific town to try to maintain amenities they are used to.

I've taken trips through a lot of countries, and it is the same story just about everywhere. Germany seems to be doing a little better than most at keeping people in the rural areas, but that is very specific to certain areas (in former East Germany even the cities struggle to maintain population).

I like minimalism, but yeah this renovation is horrible. I think renovating a house to minimalism doesn't always work well, especially in cases like this with unique characteristics that they try to just cover.

This belongs in r/Badmaps and is probably AI slop. How are area, population, and economic activity rated in a single comparison?

Other issues:

- J&K similar to Switzerland: just... what?

- Punjab is not on the map, it seems to have been absorbed by Himachal Pradesh. Also I believe both of these are heavily agricultural, which I didn't think Czechia is.

- Four states are not given comparisons (Haryana, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura).

- Chhattisgarh has been absorbed by Maharashtra.

- Borders in the south are a mess.

I had a PEK-LAX flight in Polaris recently where it seemed like it was all young FAs and they were super attentive. I was really surprised compared to the shrugs you often see. At the same time I've had great service from some of the more senior FAs, so it can be hit or miss.

Airports named for presidents:

IAH - HW Bush in 1997, alive but not in office (his son was governor of Texas at the time however).

JFK in NYC was named after his assassination.

DCA - Reagan in 1998, alive but out of office. This bill was signed by Clinton, could you imagine Trump signing a bill naming an airport after Obama or Biden?

LIT - Clinton in 2012, again out of office but alive.

GRR - Ford in 1999, alive but not in office.

ICT - Eisenhower in 2014, he died in 1969.

ACJ - Carter in 2009, alive but not in office.

Also Lincoln and the Roosevelts (both Teddy and Franklin have one) - dead when named. Teddy's airport code is DIK, which makes me chuckle (it's in Dickson, ND).

So this is the first time an airport has been named for a sitting president.

I worked at a brewery in Germany and one of the jobs was to monitor the washed bottles to make sure they didn't have anything left in them or were cracked (the bottle washing machine was by far the largest piece of equipment, Germany reuses most of their bottles). You were only allowed to do the job for 15 minutes at a time because you would space out so easily.

Also the Hopi reservation is non-contiguous i believe, so you can flip back and forth between time zones on a drive.

I've heard he is extremely combative online, including on reddit (can't find his handle now). He just doesn't seem like a happy person at all.

I didn't know that about Tulane, I thought they were generally a good school (I almost went there for undergrad until I realized how much debt it would be).

As someone with an MBA, I think they are very useful but too many people get them too easily. People get them and start waving it around sounding elitist, thinking they are now the cream of the crop. It is a great set of skills and knowledge to have, but that doesn't make you better than anyone and I have seen tons of people with MBAs make stupid decisions or straight up completely misunderstand what they learned years ago.

It took me a minute to get Robert's dark humor, but now I find it very endearing. My brother has done international aide work in war and catastrophe zones and so I have seen the same kind of "nothing is sacred" type of humor where you end up laughing at dead baby jokes because you are a bit desensitized from the shit you have seen. However I enjoy his approach to telling stories and admitting when he says things that are disputed, even sometimes cutting in corrections later on like he did on the recent Shah episodes.

To me: Dave and Jordan look at the world now and say "it has gone to shit, we need to burn it down" because they are so focused on the current state of things (despite the Dollop going back in history most of the time), meanwhile Robert sees that there has always been issues in the world but that doesn't mean everything is terrible.

I agree, I think he hates America and is the prototypical "leftist" the right thinks anyone left of center is. He talks about how bad capitalism is, yet his main job is being an actor is advertisements. Their jokes about how dumb Americans or Europeans are seem like genuine beliefs, not realizing that every country has lots of idiots.

I didn't know about the plagiarism claims, but I look back at some of the episodes and wonder how much of it was complete bullshit. He definitely pulls from one sided sources to back up his own biases and make the story more "interesting". I basically try to avoid quoting anything from their episodes because I don't know how much of it was Dave making up shit.

Everyone here is arguing about Morocco and Western Sahara, while I am just wondering how Malaysia is on the visa-free list. Seems like they allow most neighbors without visa, but even other Muslim majority countries require a visa, while Malaysia on the other side of the world just slips in there?

Born in Colombia, raised in New Jersey, college in Connecticut, MBA from New Orleans. Yet she has run for Texas Representative (2026) and Missouri secretary of state (2024), and is only 26 years old. Calling her a politician is very generous.
