I think as long as it's just shit talking it's no reason to get stressed out over. Now if they're damaging your property or poisoning your pet...

Unless it's 🥓. In that case, poison away.

So I really hate the dual drive thrus some fast food places have. Really hate them. To a certain point I get it and two lanes side by side should in theory save cars from blocking traffic but in the end it just has me skipping the place entirely. I won't even go to CFA after breakfast because of that bullshit. People rave about how fast they supposedly are, but considering there's only like 3 items on the menu they really aren't.

Been craving McDonalds breakfast for weeks now. Last Saturday I tried to go during a drying session at work and nope. In fact I've been avoiding McDonalds a lot since the pandemic due to those awful lines. More people are using fast food for convenience these days and reports are saying they struggle to fill vacancies (probably because shit wages even if they're paying 13) so it takes forever to get thru.

I hear the key is to go in the outside lane, but for the life of me I always go the inside. And like clockwork despite ordering first I can never merge into the main lane ahead of the other side. It stresses me the fuck out especially since even if I edge enough to claim a spot I'm not convinced the next lane ain't gonna hit me. So yeah I skip them almost entirely these days.

Today I went before my grocery and I guess it paid off because I got free food. I think it's because the dude that snuck in front of me said it wasn't his to my order and they must've cancelled it and since I was behind him they just gave it for free rather than reinput everything. Okay sure, lucky. See ya in 6 months.

And yeah CFA can be decent, but I'm not waiting in that monster line. People overrate the SHIT out of it just because they recite "my pleasure". Like I can honestly say in all my life of eating fast food I really haven't experienced broken/fucked up orders more than a handful of times so the "perks" of CFA really don't separate them apart from everyone else. In fact the last time I had something fucked up happened at CFA when they didn't give me hashbrowns.

Anyone else wanna chat fast food?

Can't you just skip the drive thru, park up, and go in the restaurant?

Pre-pandemic I ALWAYS did that. Obviously very few fast food places are doing that these days, which only makes the drive thrus longer.

Some places do have "check in" parking spots if you use the app. If I do go to CFA I use that. It may take 10 minutes to get my food, but at least there's no stress and anxiety of waiting in line.

Oh yeah, I forgot the pandemic was a thing. Restaurants aren't open here either, only takeout and drive thru. Silly me :lol:

Casual dining is open for the most part, so I either see fast food slowly opening up again or they might just say fuck it this is the new normal. No stress over cleaning up the tables and everyone just drives away so no people. And if you wanna speak to the manager you gotta get back in the line!

Speaking fast food I debating McDonalds, Wendy’s , Burger King, Jack In The Box today

Wendy’s junior bacon cheeseburger (no tomato) is the perfect fast food burger. Nothing is close.

Wendys needs to update those fries. Should probably just replace them with the morning wedges.

I liked their old fries much more than the current iteration. Burger King’s fries are underrated.

Well, first way of testing is done for me. My sleep apnea since it was not properly dealt with in NC, is no longer mild, but severe. At the level we are seeing, it is likely for the last three years or so when my fatigue got severe I been suffering from my gray and white brain matter not getting enough oxygen. While much of this can be repaired over time, some of the cell death will be irreversible as the cells are already dead.

Being giving a new machine as soon as possible and will continue weekly appointments to get it working to stop further degeneration.

If it works, it MAY, and it is a big MAY, end the symptoms that make me disabled entirely, or at least reduce them.

Either I got a stomach bug or food poisoning, but since about 9 last night I’ve been vomiting almost hourly. The gaps are getting further apart, first time was 45 minutes, this last time was almost 3 hours. But there’s nothing left, just the water or sprite I take in small doses.

If it was food poisoning my guess is an undercooked bratwurst, which has made me very sad about how I’ll never eat those fuckers ever again. I let go of vodka and chocolate covered Oreos for way less vomiting.

If you can get Gatorade or Pedialyte in you. Will recover you faster.

Sounds like food poisoning. Could have just been something in one of the brats that triggered it as well and be a rare one off thing. But once you get this sick you get taste aversion which is a hardwired biological system of fast mapping a do not ever eat again learning into your brain. Something with mayo triggered this in me as a kid and I could never eat it again even decades later.

My last bought of food poisoning was with shrimp. It was only a few months ago but man am I sad about that. I freaking love shrimp.

A few years ago I got food poisoning from leftover chili that had been left over for too long. This was during the last six months of my PhD where I spent day and night in the office, leaving after midnight. Fortunately on that evening nobody else in my office was burning the midnight oil, so I had the room to myself to throw up repeatedly into the small trashcan and clean it up as best as I could with the limited cleaning resources available to me. Needless to say I didn't get much work done after 7pm.

Consequently I stopped being able to eat minced meat ("ground meat" to Americans, right?) of any kind, but I actually got over it and now I can eat it just fine. I'd say the taste aversion lasted 1-2 years.

5 hours vomit free so I’m thinking I might be past that part. Now just onto the “did you know how many muscles get used when you get sick?” Portion because crap my body hurts.

Still thinking I might never eat again. Best way out of this.

That is the worst part of it, being sore everywhere for days afterwards.

c is right you need some electrolytes.

This is best drunk after your stomach settles to combat the dehydration.

Homemade pedialyte:

Ingredients
1 ½-2 cups water
Juice of ½ lemon
1/8 to 1/4 tsp sea salt
2 tsp raw honey

I drink this after a night of lushing and all the next day or whenever I have a headache or I’m just feeling down a quart.




Feel better.

Been there done that a couple of times.
My worst was coming home from India and dry reaching the whole way from Singapore to Melbourne for 9hrs. I remember coming in to land and the whole plane had cleared around me and I was strapped in with my stomach spasming into the most horrific shapes 😂

In India I lost 15kg in 4 weeks
I feel your pain mikec

Was unaware I could create my own electrolyte drink. I got my old faithful some grape Gatorade.

It's what plants crave.

Don't let one day of vomiting and wanting to die make you forsake bratwursts. Then the terrorists win.

Foos, I'll trade you for shrimp. First and last time I got food poisoning was a few months back from my own homemade banana bread. Now I can never make/eat that shit again!

How do you get food poisoning from banana bread? Did you eat raw batter with eggs?

I had to start making my own after I was told no more Gatorade.  They believe it contributed greatly to my kidney stones.

Honestly, my best guess is it had something to do with the lard.

So I ordered 30 merch shirts and asked the guy if I could do pre-orders that way I knew which sizes to order, as in the past I was off on what sizes I thought would be good sellers and what wouldn’t.

He said yes I put in ALL CAPS that the shirts were PRE-ORDERS.
And told me he’d start on them last week. Sell most of my stock, people ask where the shirts are at as if I didn’t explain they were pre-orders.

Now almost a week later he hasn’t even seen my message (and it was about potentially ordering a second batch), WTF? I had an Ebay store and I would ship most things out with in the hour and that was a side gig not my actual job. Fair enough if he has a lot of other orders but just respond and tell me that.

My original supplier (who doesn’t do shirts anymore) had my shirts designed,printed and shipped to me from Melbourne in 4 days.

Are musicians just dumb or out of touch with regular normies that listen to their stuff.

Beastie Boys said Fight for Your Right is a parody, but nobody got it and it essentially became their big radio hit. So it was either an amazing parody or the worst.

Nirvana's Rape Me is supposedly an anti-rape song that was written so blatant that it couldn't be argued about the meaning. But nobody really got that one either.

Just pretentious.
