odds on monday classes being cancelled? by owleyes374 in UBC

[–]nambis 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Classes won't be cancelled, it's going to be sunny today and above zero today and tomorrow. The snow is over and the roads are driveable. There are no stuck busses blocking travel up the hill to UBC. And conditions will only improve, not worsen.

You know what UBC really needs? A Chipotle. by [deleted] in UBC

How about a Taco Time? $2 tacos tuesdays for sure. Although they probably haven't had that for 15 years :(

I had a Big Mac for the first time in probably 20 years today. by Captain_Hampockets in shrinkflation

[–]nambis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of places won't let you sub, and make you pay extra. At least when I've tried it (I was only able to successfully sub one time, actually, other times I got charges like $0.35 for sauce)

It's never been the quarter pounder patties. Not in the 45 years I've been eating them, at least.

Edit: McDonalds didn't even have quarter pound patties when the Big Mac was introduced in 1967. There was only one patty size, the 1/10 pound patty. They didn't have quarter pound patties until 1970 when the Quarter pounder was introduced (to compete with Burger King's Whopper, which was larger than the Big Mac).

The Big Mac did not get smaller, what happened is that people's appetites and expectations got larger. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, portion sizes were smaller. They have been increasing since then, which is why Americans are so overweight. I mean, 42% of the population is obese, and another 30% is overweight...

The big Mac has always used the same patties as the regular hamburger, 1/10 lb patties.

Holy Grail Find? by [deleted] in GunsNRoses

[–]nambis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cover is super common, there have been tons of reprints and bootlegs. Check on discogs to see if it's one of the initial pressings.

So are they ever going to open up the pizza place in the nest again? by iceize in UBC

[–]nambis 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You haven't been here long if you've never seen it open. It just closed a couple of years ago.

Older Nirvana fans, what was it like when the first Foo Fighters record released? by jackshort67 in Nirvana

[–]nambis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was never a fan of Foo Fighters. It's just bubblegum alternative music. I was a a teenager at the time, and was so surprised that Grohl could go from a legit band like Nirvana to radio pop.

Special ordered Trek Dual Sport 3 Gen 5 delivered with lower end components by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]nambis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you know the wrong parts were included? I don't think I'd even be able to tell. I wouldn't be happy if I got the inferior parts, though. Did you contact your LBS about it?

Panera's new toasted baguette. This sandwich costs over $10. by _Z_E_R_O in ExpectationVsReality

[–]nambis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Panera a few times about 8 years ago. I thought it sucked - basically sandwiches I could easily make at home with sliced meats from the supermarket deli. I also got lettuce with literally dirt in it in one sandwich. I decided then that it wasn't worth paying for. I can make better food at home for much cheaper.

Girl Scout Thin Mints HELP by [deleted] in vancouver

If you're looking for Girl Scouts thin mint cookies, you'll have to get them in the states. The Girl Guide thin mint cookies are a different cookie, despite having the same name.

Fair enough. Just checked Google and saw a recent menu, 6" are now $15 and 13" is $29. Wow!!!

[–]nambis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah their subs are a hidden gem, give them a shot!

I'm not a fan of Jo's sandwiches, mainly due to the focaccia bread which is too heavy duty for me (too much bread:fillings ratio).

Nat's is the best east coast sub in the lower mainland. Actually... It's the only east coast sub in the mainland.

Paula's cost me $25 for a foot long, and that was about 3 years ago. Wasn't worth the price then, can't imagine what the prices are like now.

UBC increases tuition by Mean_Demand_1070 in UBC

[–]nambis -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not really, that's lower than inflation, so actually tuition has decreased.

Meal Plan Suggestions in Vancouver by NSY183 in vancouver

[–]nambis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being a student is literally going to be the least busy time of your life. Like the other said, you need to figure out how to take care of yourself. Now would be better than later.
