Is Smashburger any good? We moved down to AZ and everyone talked about In 'n Out and we tried it and were pretty underwhelmed by the quality of burger and Smash looks like it would be the same, but never been there. I am a huge fan of Five Guys and Red Robin burgers (Jack in the Box too). Please advise if I should try Smashburger.

I think Five Guys and Red Robin are both kind of bad to be honest, so you're probably not going to benefit from my opinion either way. :v:

I liked In & Out, but that was like 1 time 10+ years ago so my memory is super vague.

Smashburger is pretty different from any of the above, I didn't hate it but I don't feel bad that I can't go to one anymore.

For a fast food type burger, Fat Mo's. Little Mo (1/4lb) with cheese, mushrooms & jalapenos.

For a real treat Gabby's Burgers & Fries, but they're nowhere near where I work so I rarely go there. :(

Ideally you find a form of exercise that you actually enjoy so it isn't this depressing chore. That's when a lot of people turn a corner in trying to improve their health. It's hard though, some things aren't very accessible unless you're lucky or can afford to spend money up front. Running and weights are the generic suggestions because they are usually affordable if you're smart about it and can work well, but the truth is a lot if people just find them miserable or tedious.

Who has Nashville recommendations for food

Edit I want to try hot chicken

Gabby's Burgers and Fries
Desano pizza
For hot chicken Prince's is the original but is also a total zoo, Boltons and Hattie B's are popular too. I do Hatte Bs just because it's closest. Expect to wait in line at any of them, really, unless it's a completely random time of day.

With hot chicken the heat ratings are often hilarious lies where medium is death heat and everything above that is a sadistic joke. Except for Hattie Bs which are pretty honest, e.g. their "hot" is what a casual fan of spicy food would consider hot. Hattie B's also has excellent sides, except for their fries which are completely generic crinkle cut from a freezer bag so skip those.

Edits galore:

When it comes to Nashville BBQ it's the definition of :effort: by Southern standards. You can find OK ribs and pulled pork, but they have no concept of what to do with brisket yet insist on selling it anyway. Chicken/turkey/sausage are all meh for the most part around here too.

Baja Burrito sells a brisket burrito that's actually pretty drat solid though. "Baja Burrito" totally sounds like the name of a chain but it's actually not.

My go-to if I want to spend :20bux: on steak & fries is J. Alexanders.

Don't spend poo poo on the wedding, eloping owns, money in the bank owns. If you both want a big party then fine, but a big wedding for its own sake is some dumb loving poo poo if you aren't rich.

Marriage is for when you know you're going to be with the person forever anyway. If that isn't a given don't do it.

Also if you don't agree on money and kids (or lack thereof) lol kill yourself. Because if you don't agree on these things for real everything is hosed forever.

Anxiety about big life decisions is natural, but you have to be honest with yourself about what you're worried about. If you can articulate real problems then that should give you pause. If the person actively keeps you from the things in life that make you happy, or makes you feel like poo poo for even wanting them in the first place, that's some toxic poo poo to worry about.

Stuff like "what of they spontaneously decide they hate me and go gently caress everyone else and steal all my poo poo?!?" is just irrational anxiety or whatever. You know, probably . :v:

That's because college kids come in with the bare minimum of knowledge and have only demonstrated an ability to "learn." Eat, digest, pass, poo poo it out, and move on to the next subject. There's no retention. I'm miles ahead of the kids I see graduating here because a lot of the technical classes that involve things that you would need to know on a daily basis in the industry, are fairly easy classes. So they do the bare minimum there, and walk out with a B and no knowledge. Experience trumps that every day of the week. And I already have a decade of experience in my field, and will be remaining in it for the rest of my life with or without a degree. So generalized education really grinds my gears. I might have to look into a different school that fits my needs better, because working full time and then coming home to do a book report is just not going to be worth my time. I'm not optimistic I'll find something though.

You're kind of mixing up two kinds of value here, I think.

1) There's the practical value of what you learn in the classes you have to take to get the degree. This will vary from "somewhat" to "lolwut" no matter what degree/career combination you're looking at. That's just life.

2) Then there's the value that possessing the degree has in terms of job opportunities, prestige/respect within your chosen profession, making more money, whatever.

If 2) is important to you accomplishing your life goals, then put up with the dumb poo poo and just do what is necessary to get the degree. Life is full of dumb unfair poo poo, just suck it up in the short term for the long-term benefit.

On the other hand, it's 100% possible that the payoff you get from 2) is NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. Depending on what you do in life, having that degree might not have much dollar value or whatever. In which case just quit and do something else instead of pissing yourself off for the sake of doing it.

Volkerball posted:

I'm 100% focused on the practical value. I dropped the degree program and put together my own curriculum with an associate's worth of credits specialized for me. By dumping all the irrelevant classes, I was able to add in principles of management and supervision, industrial psychology, supply chain and warehousing logistics, and a ton of other things relevant to running a machine shop. Kids coming out of college aren't going to have anywhere near the skillset I do. If a company would take one of them over me, I wouldn't want to work for them anyways, because that indicates to me a refusal to think outside the box and be innovative. Instead of making their own trail, they're following the same beaten path everyone else is. And in American manufacturing, that trail ends in a ditch with a bag on your head. That piece of paper isn't bringing in anything you don't already have. And if every company values a piece of paper that much, I'll use the skills I have to start up my own shop in my garage and show all them dumb mother fuckers.

This is a common mindset and it overlooks an important practical problem: your resume will probably have to get past a screening process before a hiring manager ever sees it and decides if it's good enough to merit an interview. So, depending on the kind of job we're talking about, there is an excellent chance that some HR dope or whatever will throw your resume away for not having an "expected" degree on it before it ever reaches a hiring manger. The guy who wants to hire the position you're trying to get might be cool with people without degrees, but if they never see your resume in the first place it's irrelevant.

That's a huge part of the value of possessing a degree: getting past the moron gatekeepers so you can get a real chance at talking your way into the job.

(This obviously varies a lot depending on the kind of job/industry/etc.)

Neurologists saved me from death/brain damage OR DID THEY :haw: and ENTs fixed my comically hosed up deviated septum so overall my attitude towards doctors is pretty positive. Breathing through the nose is cool and good, also not being dead I guess but whatever.

You want to talk about bad luck though, my experience with orthopedic doctors is just lol. 3 different chuckle-fucks mis-diagnosed my shoulder joint problems repeatedly over 5 loving years before figuring out I had partial tears in my rotator cuff and labrum.

The suggested remedy was an operation they said would take a year to fully recover from and completely incapacitate me for 8 weeks. LOLWUT

So I just started trying different things and now I have minimal pain and can loving rock climb without really aggravating it. But by all means, sure, let's disassemble my upper torso in the hopes it ends up better 12 months down the line, you absolute rear end in a top hat.

Promethus gets bashed for having dumb characters, but it's clear that the crew was just thrown together and that the science mission is just a cover story. Their only purpose is a) get Weyland's wrinkled rear end to the planet, and b) act as pawns for David's mad science fuckery. Weyland did not give a single gently caress about hiring the best geologist or botanist whatever the poo poo, he hired the kind of dope who smokes weed with his space suit respirator while on the job. I think in the mission briefing one of them even says words to the effect of, "I'm just here for the paycheck, also I'm a giant dickhead."

That said, Alien Covenant is quite a bit worse than that, mostly because anyone not played by Michael Fassbender is a cardboard cutout to the point where it makes the Prometheus crew look like the ensemble from a 1970s Robert Altman film. Like, they don't even rise up to the level of cliches, because you can at least recognize a cliche, while the Covenant crew are just a wall of :effort:. Except maybe the one loudly religious guy who thinks he's a martyr to his faith, but is really just someone nobody likes because he's a huge pissbaby who screws up all the time. He dies the most obvious idiot's death ever, and I think it was kind of funny in the meanest way possible.

Went to the Patriots Hall of Fame recently, it has a super-widescreen panoramic propaganda movie about the team that would've done Leni Riefenstahl proud.

[On 9 June 2017]
[31 years after the Bears crushed them 46-10]
[27 years after suffering Rod Rust and going 0-15]
[17 years after the beginning of the Patriots rebirth]
[Bill Belichick flies again to Foxborough to review the columns of his faithful followers]

Hilariously, it includes a lot of their awful pre-Bilichick history and ancient fans talking about how pathetic they were, but not a single mention of the New York GIants.

The Pro Shop is tragically tame though. I basically wanted 5 Ring Shrimp in t-shirt form and they just had generic NFL approved team stuff.
