That one in Bellevue that they’ll wrap around the block and onto 405? And no one cares that they’re just stopped on the freeway blocking lanes for fucking chicken?
Little bit of everything!

if only there was some other way to transport and have 30 people be in one place at a time
I have had good chicken tenders from restaurants, but never chains. Chains I don’t understand why people get them. For the same price and better taste you can just go to the store, get some frozen ones and pick them in the air fryer. Heck season them a bit and I’d argue they’re the same as any fast food ones
Same with donuts, my stomach kind of turns, and the rest of the day I usually have indigestion
Hey, also former drive thru worker! Unless drive thru was pretty much empty it was almost always guaranteed to be a longer wait. Exact same experience as you, people took longer getting situated in their cars slowing everyone else down
And god help me how in the living hell do you wait for over 10 minutes in a freaking drive thru only to get to the menu and say “uhmmmm what do I waaaant…”. Ffs it’s a MCDONALDS. You’re going to order the number 3 and a diet coke like you do all the time Sharon.
Oh dude, so many fuckin times I have people want to talk to me about chain fuckin restaurants. “Oh I hear we’re getting an olive garden!” “Did you see the Texas Roadhouse just opened”, oh can’t wait!
Who gives a shit that yet another chain is opening. How empty is your life where an olive garden opening is something you’re actually excited about? Go find a local Italian place that serves real Italian food. Find the local chicken place. Guaranteed it’s about the same price as chains now, and the family running it will be much happier for your business than the suits in charge of the chain.
I will never understand how someone can justify waiting in their car for over 40 minutes for fried chicken. Not to mention the parking lot is empty! How do they not just think “I’ll just park and go in”?
Seriously I don’t even wait at nicer restaurants for an hour. I’ll find something else.
Ha sorry, but I’m not surprised you had such difficulty walking. I also grew up in the Midwest where if you’re walking people assume you must just be poor and can’t afford to drive. Weird weird culture
So then it’s even less interesting.
Nope. UK already has battery powered trains in operation. Trust me, I’m a full blown train nerd. The only remotely interesting things is that it happened in the US, and even then the better option was electrification.
Electric trains actually predate diesel, noted as far back as the 30s. Subways kind of needed something that didn’t emit smoke and fumes
So I’d say still hardly “MiNDbLoWINg”
Is it something about clickbait?!
And then you are basically hiring an infra team to run the services and have the redundancy, and then with salaries you’re nearing just paying for software again
Revolt I love, but there’s no federation or anything, and I won’t be able to get anyone to switch unless they could join many servers from mine
Except not, this is what social media is supposed to do, allow people to upload things to share. They’ve done perfectly well for all these years on it, it’s not some new crazy problem. It’s existing functionality they are removing, that’s on them.
Looks a bit different on my side of the pond but I believe that’s the same thing, yes
You want to make god laugh? Show him your plans.
There’s a reason we have dozens, probably hundreds of sayings about this.
Welcome to life, OP.
Finally someone in industry is saying it. Execs are doing layoffs because they thought covid driven revenue would last forever, and that was a moronic thought. Like people would ever be at home in those numbers again, all at once, desperate for things to do. They could have used that time better, and they didn’t. Of course the market was going to dip after covid.
I always do Ezells now when I crave chicken. Zero need to go to chick fil a in this town
