I'm glad that our state politics discussion has been 10 pages about burritos and freeways instead of "our governor has lined us all up by income to be euthanized so he doesn't have to raise taxes" e: cat tax

You may use the numbers 101, 134, and 170. Make sure to call out which specific directions cannot be followed at this juncture. Do not use phrases such as non-euclidean, or wrong-way concurrence.

That it’s not necessary makes using “the” all the time the shibboleth. It serves no purpose but to indicate whether you’re from northern or Southern California.

Well, mostly if your from southern California ... vs the rest of the states. From what I've seen around the US, we're the only ones with this verbal tick.

Like every city or neighborhood has a "gently caress you got mine" mentality that happens on a state level for the rest of the country (There should be a San Gabriel Valley leading body, not this bullshit every city for themselves). Combine that with this weird powerlessness that comes from feeling so far away from your elected officials. (how many of your family members know your congress person? There was a period for 6 months I didn't know because it changed on me. And the constant shifting of population since world war II (hi transplants, no we don't loving want your worthless pro-death-penalty opinions; you're just killing off locals to get their homes), that there has to be some sort of loving baseline conversation for us to build on: Food and Traffic. mazzi Chart Czar fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Apr 26, 2020 |

It's because of sigalerts and helicopters. "Take 5 to 134 to 101" sounds fine. "Heavy traffic on 101" sounds wrong. "Heavy traffic on the 101" sounds right.

And then going to the other one. I like Bravo Farms there. because it’s a fenced off place for my kids to run around and burn off energy from having been in the car for hours. They have little old west themed houses they can explore.

Prices at In n out can vary greatly by location, so depending on where you live it might not be that much cheaper than habit. My closest in n out here has their double double only a dollar less than habits double char.

Habit makes an unusually good caesar salad, especially with tri-tip. Mmmm. The sandwiches are well above average, too. We'll see how quickly the quality craters when they switch to Taco Bell's supply chain.

If we want to talk about Burgs I can safety say that In-n-out is way better than Shake Shack will ever be and anybody who says otherwise has never had a double double animal style.

For some actual politics chat, has anyone here or anyone they know been trying to get unemployment? My partner went to look today to certify and it said that due to the high demand, they’re waving certifications from April to May 5th. You’ll still have to certify afterwards to prevent fraud I guess, but this seems like a huge deal that will make it way easier to ensure people get money. Kinda like what Canada was doing. But I haven’t seen any announcements or anything discussing this, which is a shame since it’s good policy.

I lived in Indiana for two years; after a few months I could understand why someone would prefer Five Guys to In N Out. It's a good burger. I live in New York for three years; Shake Shack is repulsive.

They made me fill out the justification sheet (job search) the first few times but once the requirement was waived they have not asked nor required it. Just visit every two weeks and verify that I wasn’t sick or unwilling to work.

It's solid fresh fast food but it doesn't have any unique amazing thing beyond that to justify charging the equivalent of fries with flakes of gold sprinkled on them.
