re: Your theory about why so many people are willing to wait at drive-thrus for so long
Posted by tigerstripedjacket on 5/31/26 at 7:30 am to Violent Hip Swivel
McDonald’s CEO said it before - people are not addicted to the fast food, they are addicted to the lifestyle that fast food allows.
You can leave 20 minutes before a teeball game, stop at a fast food place, feed your full family on the way to the destination, and have not been required to do any real extra work.
For high wage hourly employees it is actually more economical to work a little harder for another hour than to go home early and cook.
Overall, it’s basic psychology- people prefer less work at something they don’t desire, and more time doing what they prefer.
Which is also why pre-ordering on an app fails at most places. Pre-ordering at most places (not CFA) only makes their process faster, but the end user still has to follow all the steps and wait on others who didn’t follow the expedited process. If drivers could skip the line and it was actually handed to them quickly, everyone would use the apps except for rare occasions.

Gas is always .20 cheaper, and sometimes as much as .40 less than other gas stations, so getting gas there pays the for membership without even considering any other savings.

That is really cool. It also blows my mind that there are only about 2,000 fragments of the Iliad and nobody doubts it authenticity, but there are over 25,000 Biblical fragments and people question its authenticity.

It’s $50 and 2hr 55mins by train, and there are no holiday drivers.

Nah, just like Coach Bergman said when they lost out in the CWS one year with a stable of pitching - I didn’t come here with a plan to win one game, we have a plan to win a championship and that plan requires everyone to do their job.

re: Any recommendations for tire sensor replacement in Baton Rouge?
Posted by tigerstripedjacket on 4/12/26 at 1:32 pm to KosmoCramer
quote:
Its not the cost of the sensor, it's the labor. They have to take the tires off, replace the sensor, then program them.
And the lift time. Using the lift for this job means telling someone else that if they ask for another service, it will be later getting done. They factor in the cost of the lift time/loss of potential income as part of the cost of the job so that it makes sense to offer the service instead of not offering that service and only targeting high profit jobs.
re: Do you ever worry about the apocalypse happening while you’re still alive?

I don’t think you know what Armageddon really means.
No, I’m not worried about Armageddon, because when Christ returns it’ll be the best think that could happen.

I realized the other day I have no idea the sexual or political orientation of almost any player on the team now,
This is odd that anyone would give two flying fricks what a person who isn’t in the sex industry has to say about sex.
If you are a soccer player, I tune in for your soccer skills. If you’re a teacher, I sit there to learn your area of expertise.
Talking about sex publicly and disclosing a person’s personal preferences is very weird in virtually every situation.

Roomba left the house last night. What’s my liability?
Posted by tigerstripedjacket on 12/8/25 at 6:54 pm
Weather was perfect, so last night I left the back patio door open to get a cool draft through the house, which I do all the time. Roomba also runs at night which I also do all the time. Back patio door was open this morning, I shut it on my way to work. I thought nothing of it until tonight when I went to empty the bin on the Roomba.
It’s gone out the back door and been lodged in the doormat before, but obviously never onto the patio or out the house.
I cannot find the Roomba, I can only assume it’s rolled all the way down the driveway, and I’m wondering if I’m liable for whatever might happen if a car runs over it or some little kid has an issue with it.
TLDR- Roomba trying to escape and ruin my credit
