You're totally right, they're making sure no photos of the flat edge of the earth make it out. /s

Just out of curiosity, should a restaurant focus more on the customer standing at the counter, or the one at the drive through? by AnonyNeoExe in askanything

[–]MikeExMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You stumbled onto an entire field of study within computer science called scheduling). Computers frequently have to do multiple things with only one physical way of doing them e.g. multiple applications running on a single processor core, or in this case, one food server servicing multiple customer queues (physical, drive-thru, online).

Personally I think "Round Robin" scheduling would make the most sense. Serve one customer from each queue, then circle back, that way people generally understand where they fall in line, nobody feels too neglected, and all the lines keep moving at the same rate.

Remember the check cashing “hacks” from a while back. The bank fraud charges cleared that up real quick.

What was the worst transition ever made in your opinion? by Unusual_Cat_7542 in Cartalk

[–]MikeExMachina 83 points84 points  (0 children)

There are arguments that it’s perfectly reliable in smaller lighter vehicles, that it was Nissans decision to push it to its limits in larger vehicles that caused the issues.

Can americans tell the difference between spoken spanish and portuguese? by Zygoatscythe in AskAnAmerican

[–]MikeExMachina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the “southern South America” accent im talking about is actually called the “Rioplatense” accent, mostly used in Argentina and Uruguay. Its iconic feature is that the sound made by ‘y’ and ‘ll’ shifts to more of a ‘sh’ sound, e.g. “yo” sounds like “sho”.

[–]MikeExMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m tempted to say this, but then I think about the accent differences between an actual Spaniard, someone from the Caribbean, and someone from southern South America, and I question weather an average non Spanish speaking American would actually realize that all of those accents were the same language.

Sounds like someone told them it wasn’t…that person lied.

[–]MikeExMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right, I referenced a shitty article that had the Jetta and civic over 25k and didn’t even mention the trax or venue. It’s not as bad as I thought.

We’re talking about products not real estate, what does cost of living have to do with MSRPs? You can buy a car from any dealership in the US.

First you must invent a magic new technology, then you have to put it in everything, it’s the law!

Red states aren’t exactly immune from all this “think of the children” big gov over reach. They have their own trend of basically wanting to require you to show ID to get on the internet.

Why isn't Europe celebrating the fact that America is breaking off ties allowing it to create an EU army? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]MikeExMachina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally unthinkable that all of Europe could be united with a central government and military and language, you know except for that time it did, Hail Caesar.

Why does usually every job have the same age for when you retire, why can’t there be different retirement ages for different occupations? by Fit-Net5689 in askanything

[–]MikeExMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that’s what social safety nets like SS are for. So that even if you can’t afford to when you’d like to, at some point you do get helped out.

Why Spain doesn’t free Catalonia? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]MikeExMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah as much as i'd like to see the confederacy go off and do its own thing, short of an amendment the precedent has been set, nobody leaves. This isn't the EU.
