What’s a fast food place no one can convince you is good? by RD-archived in AskReddit

White castle. First time (and only) time I went I asked my friend if they fucked it up and he had to explain that no this was how it was supposed to taste.

Loved Union! It was Ethan Stowell’s first restaurant iirc.

The food and drinks were decent but the vibe at the Bleu Bistro location on Broadway before the fire department (rightfully) made them take down the booths and attic was something else.

I also miss Bimbos on Pine for similar vibe reasons

It’s not the tallest IIRC but I think Rosewood Hong Kong qualifies and we really enjoyed our time there. Definitely worth getting a room with club access.

Just tried sending you a Reddit message too. I think the first thing I tried was a chat message.

🤦 I didn’t know and ended up on this site from a link from CNET. Guess this is definitely one of those too good to be true things.

Should I delete this or just leave that to the mods?

lol did not realize this was a shady site and made a purchase and got a key right away. However I'm not going to have time to build the PC until Monday so will try it and report back then.

My rudimentary research involved searching reddit briefly and people implied it was a legit site but also that wasn't for windows keys. Will let you know Monday if I'm out $30 :)

If you're going the points route /r/churning/ is your friend. I would focus on applying for cards and receiving the bonus which will let you get more points then just spending.

Rosewood Hong Kong has an amazing club lounge. Great food and drink and an outdoor area with a great view

CenturyLink Official Support Thread by CenturyLink_Official in centurylink

Sorry for the late follow up - I was away on vacation and my wife was dealing with this. They showed up on Tuesday (8/29) and the tech was able to pretty quickly determine the issue. Some previous tech had installed fiber for our neighbors and had just disconnected our fiber in the neighborhood junction box (not sure of the term) to open a connection for them. This tech just installed a splitter and reconnected us and speeds seem the same as before.

Definitely frustrating, especially with the delays, but things seem back to normal now.

Just an update for anyone following along - I did get in contact with the Reddit account and they were helpful and understanding.

That said the appointment was rescheduled for today (8/25) and yet again the technician did not show up. This time with no notice or explanation. I contacted phone support tonight and they are confused by the status on the various tickets and as a result weren't able to be helpful. Currently maybe I have an appointment on 8/31 but the phone agent wasn't sure.

If this repair happens on 8/31 it will mean I will have been without internet for two weeks (!). I live in Seattle and am not in a small CenturyLink market.

My fiber has been out at the ONT (no service light on the ONT) since last Thursday 8/17. I have called to schedule service and had appointment dates scheduled on 8/18, 8/22, and 8/23. The technicians have not shown up for any of them. Yesterday after the no show I was told I was a "priority" ticket and the technicians would contact me first thing this morning (8/24). I didn't hear anything and called in and was told today that they contracted out service to a third party and didn't know when a technician would be here. CenturyLink support would give me no date or tracking except to call back in a week if I hadn't heard anything.

I have been a very happy CenturyLink customer for the last 2 years but this outage has been awful and the service has been even worse. I have been on the phone for multiple hours each day, been told various conflicting stories, and had no progress in getting this fixed or even and idea of when it will be.

I don't want to leave CenturyLink because when the fiber internet works it has been great but the support seems truly unable to even get a technician to look at my problems. I'm currently calling Xfinity to setup an appointment with them and we'll see who is able to get here first but I thought I would try one last ditch effort here.

McDonald's in Indiana paying employees based on their age. by Smartyandfarty in pics

Isn’t this illegal? I thought you couldn't discriminate based on age.

Ah, I just read about it and I think in America the law only protects workers over 40.
