People hating on this but honestly you want to know if your sandwich is past expiration; this restaurant is doing you a favor

Why are you asking where I work? All I'm saying is this almost isn't a mistake. Did they not look at the burger as they were making it? But hey I'm not a culinary artist so what do I know?
Edit: Words are tough.

Yup, I use this all the time. Interestingly I use the back of my hand though. Same concept, just back of hand.

I get paying high prices for excellent cuts. This a bit too high admittedly, but I throughly dislike the fact they charge you for a side. That’s getting not just getting fucked, it’s getting DP’ed. I mean, how much does a potato cost?

Reply to This road has dots and recommends you keep a two dot distance between vehicles by Planejet42
Yep this should be standard. Here in the UK, it was traditional to pick a marker, like a sign for example and you would say a phrase. You'd start it as the vehicle in front passed the sign and if you got to it before finishing the phrase, you were too close.... judging attitudes to raid safety nowadays, I think this is largely forgotten.
The phrase was "only a fool breaks the two second rule".... Simple and effective.

Damn. Dude's the rain man of keyrings. Anyway. It's that keyring's world, everyone else is just living in it.

I forgot all about those for cold brew. I really appreciate the reminder.

It doesn't belong on the burger. It's not edible. What are you talking about not a foreign object?

It’s a produce sticker. Not exactly “foreign object”.

Well, they do, have you seen those little powder bags that you add to water? It's probably not as marketable as something that's ready to go.

That’s a very valid point. Companies have to make things easy on people or else they face backlash because of the consumers error.

As well as every other keyring I've ever used, which is a lot. Honestly, it really fucked with my muscle memory and I found it particularly difficult to open it lol.

And how tight they feel. You can use your own hand and fingers as a guide. My (chef) father taught me this as a kid.

Or you do it like the rest of the world and keep track of something the car in front passes by, start counting and stop counting when you pass that spot. If it's less than two seconds, you're too close. Bonus, it adapts for speed, you're literally counting down potential reaction time.
Do people not learn that in driving school in the US?
In Switzerland we still have markers sometimes, but they act as reminders. Counting is still safer.
Have a good one. Stay safe.

Reply to Dad's "loser pile" of lottery tickets by doctoreyeballs
My father had the same pile. Not scratch offs, though. He plays the state lottery where he lives. $5 two times a week, same five sets of numbers for probably 30 years. About 7 years ago he calls me late night. I thought he was dying when I saw his name come up because he never calls. I live several states away, and we mostly communicated via email. Long story short, he finally won the big one. I thought how big could a state lottery be with mega millions and powerball dominating most of the ticket purchases. I thought he maybe hit $100k. Boy was I way off. Multiple millions. Most surreal moment of our lives. He still plays twice a week.
