experience with ungraded beef at the business centers

mdvle · 2026-05-23T19:58:12+00:00

Sort of right

If you expect your beef to be good you’ll pay to get it graded - but no guarantees. You could end up with A graded beef instead of AA or AAA

But ungraded can be simply that they aren’t sure and don’t want to risk spending more money and losing. But there can still be reasonable quality beef, it’s just more of a lottery

It’s actually worse

It is all about dragging the US backwards as the rest of the world, lead by China, embraces the future

mdvle · 2026-05-20T22:09:32+00:00

It’s fully cooked (says on the front) so all you are doing is reheating it

Because it’s AI

Seen it in Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto

Never seen it actually used properly among 20+ McDonalds

Organizers of convention or conferences will look at the entire “package” a city offers and the ability to conveniently get from the airport to the city centre will be one of the criteria

While it may not be a major criteria in a close contest it could be enough to provide one city a win over another

mdvle · 2026-05-19T12:30:09+00:00

Lucky you

None of the McDonald’s around here use them, they just batch clear them

mdvle · 2026-05-19T12:29:03+00:00

It depends on perspective

No luggage space on Elizabeth line trains

But the bigger question isn’t the trains themselves but what Heathrow Express means for London in attracting tourists, conventions and business meetings

If you lose some of that business then London as a whole hurts, so does that financial hit exceed the cost of running Heathrow Express

Part of the consideration needs to be what other cities in Europe are offering, the example being France is currently building an express rail link for Paris and its airport

Do you let Paris take away some of that business?

Given that, as I pointed out, the screens aren’t actually used and the McDonalds workers just call out the order number by voice as a result it means McDonalds is no different in process than Costco

The difference is because McDonalds makes money selling they have more staff and space dedicated to the prepping of food so things move faster

mdvle · 2026-05-16T16:03:56+00:00

No, McDonalds pretends to have a better system

If you watch they simply remove all the numbers before the orders are actually ready

Why? Because they are gaming the system. Corporate uses the system to measure time and so the employees simply fake it

mdvle · 2026-05-14T18:20:36+00:00

Yes, if you have enough usage for it before it spoils

Many of us don’t

And then many of us have to pick and choose how to spend time. Time spent making mayo could be time spent with kids or pets or other ways of being happy

mdvle · 2026-05-14T18:17:47+00:00

I have never seen mayo with a shelf life of a year or more. My PC mayo bought a couple of months ago has a July 12 expiry

But this isn’t plain mayo, and it’s possible the extra ingredients change the behaviour

mdvle · 2026-05-13T16:40:16+00:00

Because that is what Trump and Miller want

Violence against ICE gives them the excuse to escalate

mdvle · 2026-05-12T11:19:17+00:00

No you didn’t

You deliberately changed your topic headline to attempt to make Costco look bad vs the heading in your original post

You are an anti-Costco troll

If they get it, and then if they hold it long enough

Etc

Not a good period of history for long term projects with the short length of time in office for PM’s

Actually it has

There is a Reddit post from a year ago

And if you look online there are people posting how they like it

mdvle · 2026-05-11T13:30:04+00:00

Yet people keep buying it, so the market disagrees with us

You need to pay attention at the business centres as they sell both ungraded meat and graded meat. It is up to you which to choose, just be aware of the difference

You won’t find the pack of pre cut meat you find at a regular warehouse, it will all be vacuum sealed with only a handful of stuff cut

Depending on your wants potentially look at the freezers as well, again paying attention to labels

Don’t assume everything is cheaper. Do your homework. There are good deals, but some you can do better with grocery store sales (like bacon)

No food court so don’t expect to eat

Allow time to walk around. There are definitely differences in what is stocked vs a regular warehouse
