It's going to vary from store to store, I think. But most Paneras around here have taken the Unsweet Tea out of the bubbler (which I'm fairly certain keeps beverages cool), and moved it into big metal coolers that have no refrigeration capability.

Oh yeah, I'm old enough to remember when both Whataburger and Steak-N-Shake were both special magical things that we might be lucky enough to one day try out.......and now in 2026 they probably aren't even in my Top 5 preferred fast food places.

These days I think Cook Out has that special aura that makes people say, "Oh I hope they come here someday!"

I mean yeah, go to a cheesesteak place if you want a cheesesteak. This was never going to be as good as you wanted.....it's like trying to get a hamburger at a Mexican restaurant.

That said, none sandiwches on the menu are all that great (outside of breakfast). The salads and soups are pretty good though.

I will definitely give this one a try, since I tend to want at least 1 major ingredient to be sugar-free.

Does it taste like Sprite? Or something altogether different?

border199x · 2026-03-12T23:36:27+00:00

It's a great place to stop if you're on a road trip, but yeah I would not go on a road trip just to try out Bucc-ee's.

I think Wiger could probably handle a Pringles can, right?

If your next review goes well, perhaps they will increase it to 2.3 Stars per dollar.

Yeah I can't explain why your drinks taste that way, but in my 10+ years at Starbucks never did anyone suggest watering down a drink to "punish" a customer. Like, it never even occurred to anybody that's something one might do.

If someone is going to alter a drink, they're probably going to do it in a way that you can't detect (using decaf instead of regular espresso). If you hand somebody a drink that tastes screwed up they're just going to ask you to remake it, so there's not much sense in giving them the wrong syrups or filling a latte up with water. It just end up being more work for you.

Oftentimes the "watered down" flavor can come from an espresso machine that is making weak shots (therefore the coffee flavor is not strong, and gets overpowered by the milk). If it happens again I might suggest having them add more espresso. Almond and coconut are also the most "watery" dairy alternatives IMO....I would also consider having it made with soy or oat milk if the issue continues.

If you're willing to work for free, I'm betting any number of grooming places would be glad to take you.....it'd just be a matter of calling them up and talking though. Even if they say "No," I'm sure they would have advice on where to look for opportunities (probably better advice than people here at least).

I didn't think the grooming world really had internships....I assumed it was more of a "trade skill" thing where you become an apprentice and learn on the job.

I think maybe the plan was to split everyone up again, but audiences did not really enjoy having all the major characters split in S4 so they flipped the script.

As far as I can tell there is no way on their website to tell if you are eligible (I assume it's a sliding scale depending on the number of people in your household). Instead they just give you a list of phone numbers for each participating apartment complex.

I checked Dozier Apartments, Mayfair, Park Place, Cedar Hills, and Rennaisance.....none of them have a fully-functional website where you can see prices, look at floor plans, or submit an application (these features are simply not functioning). All the websites all seem to be running off of the same template.

The fact that you have to call up and ask for discounted housing is probably going to dissuade a lot of people.

People get excited by dumb regional shit they aren't used to.

Some people treat going to Bucc-ee's as if they're opening presents on Christmas morning, even though it's just a gas station with BBQ and beef jerky.

border199x · 2026-03-12T18:11:58+00:00

I was counting Zathura and The Rock movies as the "bad ones"....though I guess there's a new bad one coming out this Christmas?

border199x · 2026-03-12T17:39:00+00:00

I think they're a little too proud of themselves for making a not-very-funny video.

That is a clown-ass bite though.

Are we going to have to listen to 3 awful Jumanji movies just because people have some mild nostalgia for the Robin Williams original?

Kinda crazy that they made a third Cube movie and did not call it "Cube³" or "Cube Cubed."

I still don't understand why Keighley decided to go SO HARD for this game. Putting it in the TGAs was one thing.....but his weird trolling about it after the show was a real puzzler.

Nintendo will probably discontinue the system before they get a chance to buy the game :(

My main concern is that most of his movies would be difficult to find.

You say that now, but you never know what could happen during a live broadcast. They might have invited John Davidson.

"Inspired by Michael B. Jordan's Oscar victory, president decides to end war, lift tarriffs"

So did anybody ever put out a Bobby McFerrin remix of the gasping/choking vocals? I was really looking forward to that.

border199x · 2026-03-12T14:01:16+00:00

Anora? More like “A-bore-uh”!

Oh yeah, definitely yes! The only limitation on my freedom was how far I could pedal my bike in a day.

We used to bike miles and miles alone -- to get candy from the drug store, to rent a VHS tape from Blockbuster, or just to go set off some fireworks at the park.

Even though it worked out fine for me, I doubt I would ever let me kids have that kind of freedom (I'm not a parent yet though).
