I like the philosophy of the burger thread on something offal: all burgers are good.

I've been craving a burger hard because of this thread. I think I know what I'm getting for lunch today.

Danish AI goons, could you recommend me a self-service car wash in or around Copenhagen - preferably touchless? I can't seem to find a single one.

It's also super hard to find 98 fuel here, the only place that seems to have it is the occasional Shell; Circle K and the others seemingly never do.

There is truth in this.

Back when Hardees first came out with the six dollar burger in like 2003 it was pretty amazing. I've tried them a couple times in the last few years and it's not the same at all. ...The smoked sausage egg and cheese is pretty great every once in awhile.

For DFW goons looking for a slapped together, 50s style burger...

Here's one option. Their burgers are ugly, but really good.

Keller's is drat good, but after papa Keller died, the sons banned motorcycles, and really, they've extended that to all the muscle cars that would do their weekly gatherings. No hot rods, no motorcycles, no muscle cars anymore. Going to the main NW Highway location on weekends was like going to an awesome car and bike show. Get out of your car, have a beer or two (you can actually order a beer to your car there too tho), look at a bunch of awesome rides, bullshit with people about their rides, and have . Now it's a "family friendly" place. :argh: Still, they have a carhop that's been there since the place opened in the 1960s.

I remember going to Kellers *for* the car show back when I moved to Arlington for school, like '89. Sad that they're jerks about it now.

quote:

They still give you the exact same modem/router combo, they just turn off the wifi remotely. And if it's anything like the 3 TWC/Spectrum gateways I've experienced, they're really locked down in terms of what you can configure (even on the router side).

Of course now, every time I call in for an issue, except for the last time, they say they've "determined [my] modem is defective" and they'll be sending a tech out to replace it (with a charge for a service call, of course, since I own my modem). Every time, the modem is showing absolutely nothing for a signal on the diagnostics page, and every time, it's back up within an hour or so, showing the same signal and SNR levels I'm used to seeing.

At least the last time I called, I actually got someone in the US, and they didn't pull the bullshit "your modem is bad, we're sending someone out at your cost to replace it with our FREE* GATEWAY". And they actually understood what I was talking about when I mentioned "signal levels" and "SnR", instead of going "mm hmm, I see, well sir I'm going to need you to power cycle your modem" (when I've already outlined all the poo poo I've done.... this is when I go into rear end in a top hat mode and ask the overseas CSR if they heard anything I said and point out I used to be level 2 for them..).

Yeah, I'm going to pull the trigger on that. I've got no real complaints about AT&Ts service per se, but cost versus speed, plus the Net Neutrality bullshit is pushing me away.
The $45 install fee is annoying, but understandable.

edit: if nothing else, Spectrum actually discloses the full price of service. Time Warner was always "after 1 year it goes up to normal full price", yet would literally never tell you what the full price was, even the *current* full price. That kind of garbage kept me away from them - they were too much old-school cable company (because, of course, they *were* and old-school cable company, and all the sick and twisted consumer adverse culture that comes with it.)

Hold off on that for a moment - I think if you have an account manager, they can waive the install fee. They did for me, also for my parents.

I'll email my leasing office and see who they use now. I just tried emailing my old Spectrum account manager, but his autoreply says he's on vacation from 11/28 to 12/2 of 2016 (gonna guess his "vacation" was more "gently caress y'all, I got a new job"). If I don't hear back by tomorrow then go ahead with the retail side.

People forget to update the dates on their out of office all of the time. Under normal circumstances, most companies would remove an inactive email account after that long.

Add to that that outlook has separate internal and external auto replies by default, can easily forget to change the external message as it defaults to showing you only the internal message unless you click through the tabs.

Sausage mcmuffins are the only thing I will eat from there, and they are loving amazing. My stepdad drinks their coffee all the time. Not because he thinks it tastes good, but just because it doesn't matter where he is, he can always go to a McDonalds and get a cup of coffee that always tastes the same.

Ramen, burgers, all this food chat just reminds me how disappointing the food selection us around campus. You go up to Gainesville and there's choices galore; Japanese food of all stripes, legit Mexican places, solid pizza joints, anything you can think of, all at fairly reasonable prices. Around here it's all chains and hipster spots that, while it might be worth the price, is just too expensive to eat there regularly.

As long as they're not using like, shredded or cubed cheese in its construction you're good. One must use cheese curds when crafting poutine. Gravy needs to be of a medium thickness; not watery, but not so thick that it can't spread between the fries and melt the curds just enough that they string when you pick up the fries.

e: Oh yeah judging by that Yelp that looks like some well-crafted poutine.
