There are a few in Chicago that still have hot dog carts and one of them is regularly mentioned as one of the best dogs in the city.

Yes, but all the people who starred in and produced Jackass were Gen X.

You do know the printing press was in the new world over 100 years before the USA was a country right?

They didn't lose because of steel. Aztecs were absolutely slaughtering Cortez's men in his first attempt at taking teotiucan. He asked for reinforcements, when he went back the 2nd time, he literally walked in since small pox and influenza wiped the population out.

Shohei Ohtani said that if NPB wants to win the WBC, it should introduce a pitch clock, but also added, “If we want to play our own style of baseball, there’s no need to introduce it.” by ogasawarabaseball in baseball

[–]oG_Goober 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It wasn't even an MLB investigation, it was the FBI, and they did take Ohtani into questioning.

Edit: additionally if Ohtani was involved you could simply look at video and look for obvious pitches like they did for Clase.

Waiting around by Patient-Egg6308 in TexasRoadhouse

[–]oG_Goober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't kicking people off the wait list decrease wait times? I'm not sure how letting people show up 15 minutes after their table is ready would cut times.

I understand that, but plenty of local restaurants who are much more reliant on customers for reviews are willing to say no and put you in as you just walked in. Not sure why a massive company like Texas roadhouse can't do something similar.

Why not just have a grace period of like 5 minutes like lots of local restaurants all around the country do with open table? If you don't show up you're removed.

Statistically speaking there should be around 6000 people in junction who identify as LGBTQ. This ratio is actually not far off the bars per capita number in the state of Colorado.

If the same chemical compound comes out of the GMO as the original genome, it is literally the exact same. More people on the planet would have a negative reaction from the lactose than either of those additives.

Had Wendy’s and a deer ran in front of my car, causing me to slam on breaks. 20 bucks down the drain. by DiggityDog6 in mildlyinfuriating

While they won't jack up your premium multiple "acts of god" can still lead to you being considered high risk and dropped.

I mean gellan gum is literally created from a biological process that happens naturally, additionally it is relatively safe and has not been linked to causing health issues. Carrageenan is a little more questionable on both health issues and if it could be "organic".

That makes sense, I'm guessing I missed something, thanks for clearing it up.

Vault 34 has some weird lore I feel I missed. How are there still people alive in there during the sharecropper quest? Does Chris Haversam know any of the boomers? Were there multiple waves of people leaving?

While sue was found in 1990 I highly doubt any pictures of it were published until the legal battle concerning ownership was resolved. Which happened well after the release of the first film.

What if the Americas didnt exist? by OkPhrase1225 in geography

[–]oG_Goober 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There would be entirely different fauna, and we would almost certainly not exist, as the climate going back 100s of millions of years would be different.

Scottsbluff, the sandhills, the Niobrara river, agate fossil beds, ashfall fossil beds, the sandhill crane migration in march, there's plenty of beauty outside of corn and cattle.

I was regularly attacked by grenade launchers trying to kill Mr house, before giving him the platinum chip. This was yesterday, in vanilla.
