Good points, but McDonald's gave humanity the BigMac. I think they deserve a break today.

I prefer the Big Mick; it’s also got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have no sesame seeds.

mcdonalds serve tasty, cheap fast food which is actually not that bad for you if you go for the right options,

old people have driven up house prices and ruined the economy by hiding £1000 stacks under their bed because they hate banks

Counterpoint: the appropriate water temperature for brewing coffee is 205 degrees, so it's always going to be pretty drat hot when you buy it. Anyone who's ever encountered coffee before should be well aware that putting a cup of coffee between your legs in a moving vehicle is a stupid thing to do whether it's served at 190 degrees or 175 degrees.

Paying for cold coffee to own literally the entire rest of the world :911:

e: America's litigiousness has had a non-negligible negative effect on the world in that in some cases the size of packaging for products sold internationally has had to have been increased just so that English-language warning text will fit. I think the first example I saw was socks.

I often wonder why every gas station on earth still chooses to serve their coffee nuclear hot 25 years after the McDonalds lawsuit. Honestly I don't get why it needs to stay at that temp once it's brewed it's loving horrid sitting there trying to test if it's gonna burn your lips off or not.

I think the logic is that people buy the coffee, put it in the cup holder and drive to work, and then drink it at work. So it needs to be as hot as molten steel in the gas station so it's still hot by the time they get to work.

That is insane. You've got two options: Sell your ready-to-drink beverage in a ready-to-drink state and let anyone who wants to buy it to drink later deal with the consequences of their decision (ie. microwave it); or sell it in an undrinkable state, catering specifically to that second group of people while risking the safety of anyone who assumed that a thing they bought as ready-to-drink would be safe to drink.

Save the earth by abolishing takeout cups. A cheapo travel mug will hold it at a good non-scalding hot for ages.

Putting scalding gas station coffee in before going to the gym at 4:30am there were days it’d still be barely drinkable by 8:30 classes.

If you put coffee grounds in water and leave it in the fridge overnight, you'll have lovely cold-brewed coffee in the morning. Filter it out with something like a French press. Use the spent grounds to reenact the christening scene from the Lion King opening.

Mozart and early Beethoven should only be played in fortepiano for that crystal clear and direct sound. Modern piano just lends itself to be used for showing off and virtuosismo.

I was just reading a post somewhere (I think Tumblr) where, apparently, you can short circuit any Poe conversation with serious Poe scholars by mentioning the Orangutan in one of his stories.

I'm assuming fortepianos are those really old pianos with tinny sound. gently caress those. Modern grand pianos 4 lyfe.

My favorite piano are those little upright honky-tonk style ones. They have a great sound and you can really bang on them.

I didn't even know who Gary Jules was ( I did see Donny Darko but didn't remember the song) or that people love that cover until that Gears of War ad started running ,and I assumed it was some Nu Metal band like Staind doing one of those lovely "unplugged" covers they always do. Every slo poke melodramatic cover of that song is awful. There's another with a woman singing that I hear in trailers and it's even worse than the Gary Jules one. The original Tears for Fears version is pretty dope though.

I like the Gary Jules cover. :(

I mean, the original is better, but the cover is pretty ok. I don’t know about the Gears of War element though, so maybe that’s the deciding factor.

It was used in a ridiculously overwrought commercial for a game where you just shotgun dudes in the face.

And then in the game itself when one of the main characters dies.

At least someone put the original version of the song over the trailer, because it's hilarious.

The local Target has a Starbucks, groceries, electronics, and household items. I guess it's like a mini wal mart. It only opened a year ago so we'll see if it lasts.

They've been like that for years where I grew up. You pay a little more for basically the same stuff at walmart but with the privilege of not having to deal with the people who are in walmart.
