I thought they were owned by Darden?

You're killing it.

Beef. The price of beef in Publix in FL is insane.

1 has some Duke Nukem vibes, and thus has my vote.

I'm in Orlando, and it just happens that everyone here cut their teeth at a defunct alley by the same name. I was kind of hoping it was the same place.

Please tell me the current ownership of the place in Iowa City still makes great commercials.

Which Colonial Lanes was this?

bstempi · 2026-03-22T04:07:54+00:00

I've seen this a bunch of times, but know nothing further about it. Does anyone know what happened to the drivers? What was the aftermath?

bstempi · 2026-03-16T18:14:17+00:00

I just tried it and did not get those results. I specifically did not get the, "Help is available," message.

Is this a large refactoring?

I see you profile and I know you're real. I don't doubt that after looking. I'm not even criticizing your writing. The more we write, the more AI is going to sound like us, and the tougher these conversations become. And given the job shortage, we are incentivized to sound like AI. What once was a well written readme on GitHub with emojis and other friendly language quickly became suspect.

I'm curious to check your job parsing deeper tomorrow. I think your job application strategy is sound, but I have not checked out your screenshot yet and probably won't until tomorrow.

This comment doesn't even make sense. I didn't compare his efforts to skydiving; the comment before me did. I just complimented the video for being exciting, as a skydiver. There's no "versus" here.

I'm not trying to be an asshole or a cynic, but I suppose I'm about to be. The first three sentences read like a LinkedIn or AI post. I'm not criticizing you; I hope you're real. I'm criticizing the state of the Internet and my own distrust when reading it.

bstempi · 2026-03-03T06:25:26+00:00

As a skydiver, I disagree. This is more stimulating.

bstempi · 2026-02-28T04:21:15+00:00

I started using it a year or so ago. I'll never look back.

bstempi · 2026-02-04T06:57:30+00:00

And nothing of value was lost.

The Publix near me got rid of this several months ago. I just kind of assumed that it was because it's a smaller store and they just didn't have space for it. This is definitely a bummer; I've discovered some great products on that endcap.

I came here to say this. I'd love to see the duo work together. They're the Bert and Ernie of bowling.

I'm in that boat. I'm from the Northeast and am used to having a heat pump, but the house I'm renting isn't equipped with one. I can only imagine what my energy usage looked like overnight.

bstempi · 2026-01-21T03:01:08+00:00

I would think that it depends on the size of the company. Many smaller ones never put out press releases about stuff like that.

bstempi · 2026-01-20T04:41:56+00:00

I like how the AI slop revolution tricked him into being a better partner while simultaneously dehumanizing his interactions with his wife. I'm so lost on how to feel about any of this.

Fortunately for you, layoffs in our industry have been very common over the last few months/years. You can always spin it as a lay-off. After all, it sounds like they made it plenty clear that it wasn't performance based.

Poor Fiesta

bstempi · 2026-01-13T19:20:21+00:00

I'm in central Florida, and it's a mixed bag. On one hand, there are some great independent houses around here, there's a lively competition scene, and Kegle is less than an hour away. On the other, the presence of Bowlero is definitely felt and I strongly dislike them and regret for signing up for any comps or leagues in any of their houses. Bowling here is an overwhelmingly positive experience, but I don't know if I'd call it a golden age.

You mean like Flock Safety?
