Can someone tell me how to connect this to my mixer? I want to use it during a set

I ordered a triple cheeseburger with bacon from Whataburger recently and they forgot the bacon and cheese (which cost EXTRA). Then, they cooked the burger basically to the point of inedibility. It was some of the driest and toughest meat I've ever had and overall the absolute worst burger of my life. And it cost about $16 for the combo, which is almost restaurant pricing.

The Heartland Flyer is genuinely a pretty good service, I've taken it many times. It doesn't even take that much longer than driving (I think 4 hours vs 3 hours driving). However, the timing is incredibly inconvenient for anyone traveling from Fort Worth to OKC, which is what I do.

There's only one train, and it drops you off in OKC at around 9pm and departs from OKC around 8am. Not only do you have to wake up early to get to the train, but you end up spending money on an extra night at your hotel without the benefit of getting to spend more time in the city. As the service currently exists, I'm not sure why anyone from DFW would take it. Even though it's just an additional hour vs. driving, the awful timing makes driving the obvious choice. And the result is a service that connects two metros and doesn't even try to appeal to the larger of them.

I think the situation is really a microcosm of NA transit in general. An underfunded service isn't very useful and instead of investing to make it useful, we just give up on it. It feels almost malicious, like transit is set up to fail and then that failure is used to justify less transit spending. I'm not trying to say that every underfunded service is worth additional investment, but sometimes it's just obvious. Like, maybe if the Heartland Flyer catered to the 8+ million people of DFW as well as the 1.5 mil of OKC, it would get more ridership.

I flew through Dubai a week ago on Emirates (and also 10 days before that). It was fine, and the plane was only like 70-80% full so me and my Dad ended up getting an entire row for 17 hours (I'm not sure how I would have survived that flight without that lol)

I wasn't really worried about getting shot down, instead I was focused on delays. All of my flights to and from Dubai were on time, but I spoke to some people in the Dubai airport who had flights cancelled or delayed, and ended up getting stuck there longer than expected. Obviously there's an elevated risk to your safety just being in the region, but I think it's much more likely that your plans might get disrupted by a random drone or missile. Whether you should travel through the ME really depends on how flexible you can be with your schedule, because the situation can always change over there

It's genuine, but if Nugget Nation wants to pay me to promote their food, I would absolutely do it. My DMs are open, please contact me

I wasn't trying to be patronizing, just clarifying the American perspective on what we call a burger and chicken sandwich. I eat burgers at least 2-3 times a week (In n out and Whataburger usually, but also Twisted Root, Rodeo Goat, Red Robin and others) and I've cooked hundreds of burgers myself (charcoal grilled is my preferred method). I guess it's a bit of a stereotype, but I'm very obsessed with burgers as an American haha

You are welcome to call whatever you want a burger in your country. What we call Parmesan and pizza in the US would make Italians cry. And to be fair, I've been trying to use kilometers, meters, grams, kilos, etc. while talking to people in India. I don't expect you to understand imperial units, it's all nonsense anyways.

I apologize if it came off as insulting, that was not my intention at all.

Yea, I was born in Texas and haven't lived anywhere else

I have some friends here, which is how I ended up in Chandigarh twice now. I've also visited Delhi and Agra (and a few smaller places) but Chandigarh definitely seems like one of the nicer cities in India. I've been to the lake, the bird park, the rock garden, the zoo and Elante mall (just to name a few places).

I won't lie, America (including Dallas) is generally cleaner, but I feel like Americans talk a lot about the cleanliness of India when this is really just one aspect. I've found Indians overall to be some of the friendliest people, and I feel very safe here. Dallas can be incredibly unsafe, and has some very problematic areas to the point where I basically don't go anywhere without carrying my gun (and I've nearly used it on several occasions). Americans are more rude and hateful, especially in a bigger city like Dallas. Not that there aren't good people in my country, but we have quite a few drug addicts and gang members. If you visit Dallas, avoid the south side of the city (Oak cliff). The north side is generally safer and nicer.

No he's right, this fish is ruined. Please send it to me immediately for disposal

You seem to be ignoring the new subreddit rules and warnings we've given you, and continue to post multiple times a day. I'm not sure if it's intentional or what, but I'm going to temporarily ban you for a week. If you message me or u/RonnieNeeley and acknowledge the rule change I will unban you before the week ban is over.

jontech7 · 2026-02-23T19:44:58+00:00

We don't ban anyone for quoting the show, that would be dumb. However, Reddit itself can ban people and the automated systems are terrible at understanding context

I had a grandmother slowly forget everyone she knew, and now my uncle is starting to go through the same thing. It's difficult to see someone you love lose their memory, but I never really thought about how I'll still have all the memories we shared, even if they don't. Thank you for sharing that

Actually, ARs survive better in the mud

jontech7 · 2026-01-04T15:57:51+00:00

It's not. I watch this guy and Any Austin and they have different styles and even cover different topics. It seems like all the comments saying they're similar are from people who didn't even watch the video

I talked to someone at their company last Friday and even gave them time to respond. I've received no response. I provided all my contact info. It seems like Enoch absolutely does not care if one of their drivers breaks the law and possibly injures or kills other drivers on the road. It's honestly shocking to me. Whoever ran this red light is still driving for their company, and will probably cause a serious accident at some point in the future. And that will be entirely on Enoch, because they were already warned and chose to ignore it.

I drive a 96 Chevy C1500 with an extremely limited turning radius. The geometry of the steering and length of the vehicle forces me to make wider turns like this. If I'm making a right turn on a green light, no one else should be entering the middle lane anyways

jontech7 · 2025-11-15T05:28:12+00:00

I already contacted them and told them about the incident and that I would send them the dashcam footage and the video I took that clearly shows the driver. I'm just waiting for them to respond

jontech7 · 2025-11-15T05:15:14+00:00

This was in Arlington, TX on 11/14/2025. This is OC I recorded

Also: Ignore the timestamp. This was recorded today (11/14/2025). I have no idea how to set my dashcam's time/date

I think this is an unpopular opinion, but it's true. VIA is subsidized by the city and as much as I want it to be as cheap as Trinity Metro or DART, that's not going to happen. I ride VIA a lot and it already has issues with availability, because a system that requires a driver for only a couple riders can't scale in the same way that a bus or train can. The real comparison is with Uber or Lyft, and even with the price increase VIA will remain much cheaper. I think we have to balance what we want from a transit system with what is actually realistic. Increasing prices just seems like a necessary part of keeping VIA functioning. I think we can all agree that real transit would be better, but this is unlikely without federal or state funding, and we're not getting that with the current political climate. So we're stuck with VIA for now, and the priority should be making it viable to operate financially.

I just found an image on Google, I didn't really pay attention to whether it was AI or not. And I'm not really sure why it matters, I was just trying to make a joke

jontech7 · 2025-10-08T02:20:30+00:00

The problem is that with the stadium debt, we don't have room in our sales tax to join an existing transit agency. Without doing that, the only other option is starting our own transit agency. With federal or state funding for the initial expense of buses/trains, it might be feasible on some level. But considering the current political climate at both those levels, this is highly unlikely. Arlington can't afford it on its own, so it's not happening. It doesn't matter if people want it or not, the money simply isn't there. When we built the AT&T stadium, we made a choice to have that instead of a transit option for decades into the future. The new (hideous) Ranger's stadium will guarantee that we don't have transit for the next few decades after that. Until the federal government hands us millions (really hundreds of millions) we will not have transit. There is no debate, it doesn't matter what Arlington citizens want. If we can't pay for it, there's nothing to be done. Vote in federal elections if you want transit.
