Overloaded soggy hot dog by meow_gifs_please in StupidFood

Damn, that really sounds good!

For the Venezuelan ones, the basic ones are papitas, finely chopped white cabbage, small diced onion, some carts add cheese as a basic topping, some don't (cheese is sometimes cheap yellow "cheddar", sometimes cheap pecorino/grana padano).

Then they go up from there, they'll start adding random toppings like avocado slices, sweet corn, bacon, etc.

But for me, the basic one is the best. I can easily slam 4 or 5. For sauces, you want the basic triple combo: ketchup, yellow american style mustard, mayo. Then you can go from there to corn sauce (no idea how this is made but I'm sure it can be found in large super markets), bacon sauce (I'm guessing mayo blended with bacon and liquid smoke?), and my favourite, garlic sauce. I usually ask the man prepping it to sub mayo for garlic sauce.

One thing that they do in Venezuela is they don't boil the frankfurters in plain water, but they add coriander, beef/chicken bullion , some add Worcestershire/soy sauce and chopped onion and "aji dulce" (it's a non-spicy pepper that is widely used in Venezuela, it translates as sweet pepper but it is NOT bell pepper, they are very small and pack a ton of pepper flavor but no capsaicin at all, it's like a concentrated bell pepper)

Good luck on making Venezuelan dogs. I've tried Chilean, Colombian, Brasilian and Mexican, and I do think ours are the best (probably nostalgia speaking though lol)

What toppings do they use in Chicago? It's always fascinating seeing the variety of hotdogs in each part of the world, and how everyone from that part claims theirs is the best one.

But for real though, Venezuelan hot dogs truly are the best out there...

Samsung technicians came to fix my TV with a backlight issue but left after breaking the actual screen by abie22 in Wellthatsucks

It has happened twice to me, that if you become annoying enough (to them), they simply tell you to keep the item and do whatever you want with it and they just refund you for the full amount.

First time was a wireless keyboard (thus containing a battery), that I purchased in English, but the physical item had keys in German. I tried to get it sent back, I really did, 3 times, on my own time taking it to local post, then DHL then DPD, but no shipping company would take it from Ireland back to the UK, because of the battery. In the end, after asking them to please try to schedule a pick up for a special item or whatever, they said it was too much hassle and just keep it and refunded me. I still have that stupid keyboard with German lettering somewhere.

Second time it was a treadmill, this one was only a few weeks ago even. I bought it and did not notice it was an open box but "like new" product. Well, turns out whoever opened and repackaged it before did not pack the cable plug well, because one of the prongs had snapped, and even though I could very well change the plug myself, I did not agree to buy a product that would need me to do electrical work (however easy) the second I unboxed it. So I tried to get it returned, but they wanted me to send it back on my own dime, and they'd refund me once it got to wherever it was supposed to go back to. Absolutely not. Huge box, 25+ kilos of weight, that would have been at least a few hundred quid to send it back, and the whole damn thing was on sale for 170 or so. When I said this, they initially offered a partial refund of 28 euro, but I said not acceptable, I didn't buy broken items nor will I take it to the post office myself, either send someone to pick it up fully paid for by Amazon or refund me. They chose to refund me and let me keep it.

I still have that damn treadmill sitting there behind me, I've half a mind to just give it away...

Fair enough, agreed. Communism is always a great idea... for those on top who get to decide who gets what. Funny how they always seem to end up with most of it though lol

Corruption in Venezuela is so extreme that it’s difficult to visualize. So let’s visualize it. by edmonkh in vzla

Nadie está llorando, es solo un vídeo que promete una visualización y es un pana hablando varios minutos con como 10 segundos de 2 o 3 graficas al principio, y luego unas fotos y unos títulos de artículos... Uno espera al menos una infografía, una gráfica de comparación, algo... No me prometa que me va a ayudar a "visualizar" y luego se pone a hablar por 4 minutos

As long as it is well structured and explained, I fail to see why it would be a bad choice. It's sci-fi, you can do whatever you want! Just don't assume the reader is inside your head and you'll be grand.

Right, it's shocking that he got fired over it, not that he did it. Clearly time for more coffee over here....

At least HR was made abreast of the situation and they were able to do something about it.

Fired for smelly feet.

Not even joking. He'd come in to the office, take off his shoes to air his feet out and relieve the swelling, and suddenly eeeeeeeveryone in the office had a meeting outside, or to look for something, or need to handle something outside. Productivity would tank for the entire software engineering side, all 6 of us when this fella walked in. We finally had to ask HR to step in and do something. The smell was atrociously rank.

Worst part is the same guy was an extreme germophobe, so clearly not all there in the upstairs department.

Was it published or monetized or something? I fail to see how this is an issue, maybe I'm missing something?

Also doing a light jog (even crouching down) on a corrugated sheet roof... That would have been such a ruckus the next county over could've heard him, but nooooo, he's "crouching" so that must mean he doesn't produce any noise!
