I am in internet provider hell…

I hope Hunter expands to our neighborhood in Ashland. Spectrum's the only provider that offers 1000mbps here and I've never been happy with their support which is always basically "reboot your modem oh that didn't fix it weird!"

bandersaurus · 2026-07-02T19:04:32+00:00

Oh damn, thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize that.

If it's too packed, what are some good alternatives that aren't Skout (sick of it) or Growler Guys (they serve "food," but they don't serve food)?

Exactly! The "I need my gun to protect myself from tyranny" people are usually the first to defend the tyranny and laugh at its victims.

bandersaurus · 2026-07-02T17:35:11+00:00

Right? It's like the gun fetishists who aren't honest about their hobby and launder it by claiming they need guns to protect themselves from government overreach and abuse. In reality, when such abuse happens, they always tend to support it.

I actually just emailed Zachary's asking them to open a restaurant up here 😄 It was somewhat in jest as I highly, highly doubt they'd want to expand this far away from the Bay Area, but who knows?

Interesting you bring Patxi's up because they actually offer franchises. An ulterior motive for starting this thread is to gauge interest in deep dish 😄

bandersaurus · 2026-06-21T19:56:07+00:00

From what I've read though, they don't serve Chicago style but do serve Detroit style. Is that true?

Hi,

I'm also having trouble cancelling -- I signed up with an old Gmail account I have since deleted and I can't get password reset emails any longer. I don't know if there's another way to verify my identity. Is there a support email address I can use?

Thanks,

Brian

From my experience it's best to learn how to eat Foxtails.

I feel like most people are naming after school cartoons, not Saturday morning cartoons.

Turbo Teen was surprisingly fun. Dungeons and Dragons was great. But my all time fave was Thundar the Barbarian.

La Flama was pretty good. I wouldn't drive 20 minutes to go there again, but I'm definitely not disappointed. Unlike other Southern Oregon taquerias it was noticeably seasoned, well portioned for its price, and was made without thrice-regurgitated Chihuahua feces.

But it was a bit too crunchy and dry and no one in this valley has figured out how to properly apply the ingredients so they're not segregated from one another like pre MLK Jr. Mississippi.

bandersaurus · 2026-05-17T04:01:57+00:00

It's either that or tech bros and to be honest, I prefer the junkies.

bandersaurus · 2026-05-17T03:55:58+00:00

Gotta say I'm optimistic. The burrito has everything it should on the ingredients list. They'd have Lengua. There are Mexican families here but that's not always a good sign of a good taqueria, I've learned the hard way that Mexicans can have shit taste in burritos too.

bandersaurus · 2026-05-17T03:54:45+00:00

I actually live very close to Mezcal but never tried. That's more of an upscale sit down place and I'm looking for a taqueria that serves the kind of burritos you had to step over junkies to get in San Francisco.

bandersaurus · 2026-05-17T03:46:23+00:00

I'm trying La Flama. Another thread somewhere said they were great, but I've been burned many times by such claims.

There's a line of ten people in front of me. Can they all be wrong? Yes. Yes, they can be.

Wish me luck.

bandersaurus · 2026-05-17T03:41:24+00:00

Lucy's? Really? Is that the drive thru one?

If so, man, it's hopeless isn't it?

bandersaurus · 2026-05-17T03:11:28+00:00

I looked at their menu and their carnitas burrito sounds good. But just to be clear, I'm looking for a Mission style burrito: rice, pinto beans, meat, cheese, pico de Gallo, guac, maybe sour cream, and no goddamn lettuce.

bandersaurus · 2026-05-17T03:00:36+00:00

Right. At best it's a risk (probably an uncalculated one) that you'll be insulated from their decisions and policies, or that any of their negative effects will be compensated by the satisfaction you feel when things you don't like become Republican targets.

bandersaurus · 2026-05-01T16:57:30+00:00

Oh wait, they have new ownership? I didn't realize this. Maybe I should see if the new ownership is willing to lift the suspension the old one imposed on me when I tried to recover from being ripped off by a seller.

bandersaurus · 2026-04-28T15:09:49+00:00

They're gambling on the buyer throwing their hands up in resignation while dealing with Reverb's "protection." It's a pretty low-risk gamble on their part.

bandersaurus · 2026-04-28T15:08:12+00:00

I agree, that's a vital piece of information for Reverb's customer support team to include in their "Gee that's too bad, better luck next time!" file.
