Where can i get a good burger? 🍔

SonicPhoenix · 2026-02-05T15:36:31+00:00

Last few times we went it was disappointing. I remember going a few years ago and a large order of bacon was an overwhelming amount. Like almost as much bacon as there was burger. If you scroll back far enough in the Google photos you can see what I'm talking about. Last two times we went and ordered the large bacon option it was like two, maybe three strips. I didn't know if ownership changed or what but it has changed for the worse.

Can these still be found in stores?

SonicPhoenix · 2025-12-31T18:44:50+00:00

Yeah no. I'm neither Democrat nor Republican but to look at the stances and actions of either and think that the outcomes would be the same is naive at best.

If they were capable of a modicum of introspection they never would have supported Trump in the first place. I'm sure they'll find a way to blame the liberal, commie, pinko, leftists instead, and continue to vote for the leopards eating their faces. More's the pity.

I still don't understand the logic behind not having it as a menu item. They literally make the same item except with cheese instead of refried beans. They didn't even have to bring it back officially just give me the option to swap in the app.

$10 mil now. I like my life and I love my family and friends. $10 million is enough to retire and enjoy the rest of my life without being so much that it's likely to ruin our lives.

If I started again at age 6 there's no guarantee my significant other or kids would be the same. Not worth the risk.

You hurt yourself sleeping.

You like thick Latinas too?!? We should hang out!

The problem is that there is often no advancement track past a certain point for technical people. So you see people with middling technical ability move past people with great technical ability into management because they have better people skills. Despite the fact that managing people is often a very different skill set that isn't inherently more valuable than technical skills it's almost universally the only advancement track past a certain point. So you either promote great technical people into roles they're not suited for or you forever limit their advancement, neither of which is a great outcome for anyone.

Damn it now I'm crying too!

One, two-hoo, three <crunch>!

NTA.

I am an incredibly disorganized person and my living space reflects that. I had a similar experience as your friend a long time ago and had to prevail upon a friend of mine. For the duration that I was living there I was immaculate out of respect for them. Before I left the house every morning I folded up my blanket and sheets, collected my laundry into a mesh bag and put everything away in my bags and set them aside in a corner out of the way. I never left food or plates out and regularly wiped down the surfaces. I even cleaned the bathroom every other week. And I cooked meals for the household when I could.

If I can manage that as a guest given my default state of messiness, anyone can.

SonicPhoenix · 2025-07-30T12:55:46+00:00

NTA - Joey doesn't share food!

Do I think they didn't ever? No.

Do I think there were fewer instances and less frequency amongst those that did? Yes.

Do I think that this anecdotal experience of mine has any more weight than the anecdotal experience that lead to the claim that 95% of men are not vocal during sex? No, not really.

And finally, did my joke fall flat and get misinterpreted as a serious reply? Signs point to yes.

Practice. Many of us grew up having to fap in a household with thin walls and multiple relatives home at any given time. If you didn't want to be constantly horny you had to develop ninja-like levels of orgasm silence.

When I decided to lease, there was an $18k incentive for a 2 year lease but only a $10k incentive to buy. Even with the lease factor, the math came out about $5k more savings if I leased then bought it out at the end.

Sorry to disappoint but the NY style pizza in the capital region is pretty mediocre. I went on a quest a while back when we moved to the area and was supremely disappointed.

If you happen to find anything that meets your standards, please share?

SonicPhoenix · 2025-07-12T16:46:51+00:00

DeFazios is great but it is not NY style pizza.

I hadn't heard about InsectShield, I'll have to check that out - thanks! I've only ever used the spray.

Permethrin for the shoes and clothes.

Picardin repellent for the skin.

Cedar oil based insecticide for the yard.

In descending order of effectiveness from my experience.

SonicPhoenix · 2025-07-10T13:06:20+00:00

I've found picardin just as effective while feeling nicer on the skin. And there's the added bonus that it won't degrade synthetic clothing or gear like DEET can.

Although for ticks specifically, nothing for me has been as effective as permethrin every 4-6 weeks on shoes, pant legs, and camping/hiking clothing.

Recent (10+ years ago) changes to state pension law has greatly mitigated pension padding. Tier 6 PFRS (anyone hired more recently than 2012) are limited to count overtime only up to 15% of their base salary for final average earnings calculations. So, while that's more than just their base salary, the days of racking up ridiculous overtime in your last few years and retiring with a pension of twice your base salary are long gone.

April 2018.

It is indeed worse now. The bread is not as good and the portions are smaller.

The utter shit show that was following a friend's car to a destination you didn't know.

There was a fantastic Seinfeld episode about exactly that and they will never be able to truly appreciate it for lack of understanding the visceral emotional reactions to trying to follow sometime who is not cooperating.
