NitroSpazzz posted:Bad spoilers You reached out to me a couple months ago offering support, letting you know the offer goes both ways. I sincerely hope you hear good news tomorrow. I also know this waiting and not knowing part sucks pretty hard, I about died from a combination of anxiety/heart failure/aneurysm during the three days from tests to sitting down with the doctor to hear the results. E: Also, fancy food stuffs: I think last week it was, Capital One suits bought lunch for finance and sales managers, and offered to buy for us in the office too. They were buying from some ritzy-rear end steak/bbq-house downtown, and we waited 2 hours from the time they said they were there picking it up. I ordered a $19 (!!!!!) NY strip steak sandwich, because it was really the only good looking thing on the menu. Turns out, NY strip steak sandwich was extremely literal, because I got a whole rear end NY strip (as in, not thinly sliced, or sliced in any way whatsoever) plopped between two halves of a big croissant. It tasted like trash too. T-Square fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Oct 3, 2019 |

There are few things worse than a hunk of steak on two pieces of bread being sold as a steak sandwich. On the up side, a 12" turkey Subway across from my office costs $13 so you got a pretty good price IMHO.

Wait what if it's in a bun its a burger. And big fuckoff steaks need need big fuckoff bread slices. With beetroot. And bacon. And real cheese. With chips covered in chicken salt

Yeah around here a steak sandwich is just a very cheap smallish steak, usually like half a striploin, served on a bit of garlic toast whose sole purpose is to soak up the blood and juices, turning into a bready gravy-ish substance instead of them flooding your plate and wrecking the fries and/or whatever sides it's been served with.

I love steaks. But a slab of steak on two pieces of bread is always a 'What? oh hell' reaction when I expected a cheese-steak style steak sandwich and instead I'm presented with two mouth-destroying pieces of sharply crusty bread surrounding a chunk of cooked meat that I now am expected to gnaw through while the bread turns to a blood & grease mush as I attempt to eat a sufficient amount of this stupid culinary creation to be allowed to quit and do something else. Like look for a toothpick for the rest of the day.

Bit of a long shot but: Does anyone know a good Holden Commodore mechanic in Melbourne (Aus but duh)? or should i just sack up and deal with the dealership rates? I had a really good local ultratune (which is a chain) but it shut and i havent been able to find out where the employees went (carpark was always full of old euro stuff, like one who daily drives a renault 16)

Have i told you about my new tire guy? Let me tell you about my new tire guy. I had a screw in one of my winter wheels, which was no biggie, as it was summer, but suddenly I got a screw in my old man's car (which I had borrowed and was mission critical, as it has a tow hook). I had briefly seen a sign not too far from our new house, so I looked up the guy, gave him a call. He told me to bring both wheels over right away. After navigating a narrow driveway to the back-back alley, I was greeted with this:   Guy came out, quickly assessed the situation, and had two tires patched (properly, from the inside) in less than fifteen minutes. Got a real, proper invoice etc.which was very reasonable. I recently went back to have tires put on wheels, told him it was in no way a rush job, and he was still done in three hours even though he had other stuff going on. Really hope he sticks around as it's less than half a mile from my house.

Take the fuckin' bread off and give me a fork and knife and some kind of taters. I suppose it's my fault though. Skirt, flank, or hanger steak is what should be utilized for sammiches. Marinate overnight, cooked rare, sliced as thin as you can get it, throw some charred onion and a sprig of cilantro on top, mmm.

If I went and had labs done and they said "maybe less of a chance than we thought, but still maybe, come back in two months" I would be a God drat wreck for two months. Feel you on the kid thing too. I don't ever plan on having any myself, but my best friend since 3rd grade and his wife have been trying all year with no luck. In the mean time, our other friend knocked up his girlfriend of six months and they won't stop blabbing about the happy family they're going to have, and another friend that always loudly whines about never getting laid by his wife just got her pregnant too. We've all been friends for a number of years, and only now that they're trying and failing to conceive does everyone else start getting pregnant. I feel for my boy and his sweetheart wife  Also get that dawg into an AA program, geeze!

In the continuing saga of "rhyno cant have peace" My wife's best friend called her yesterday day. That friends brother died of an overdose. He was an alcoholic which apparently doesnt mix well with meth. Dude had two boys. The girls are all over at his apartment cleaning up the mess he left before he left and there's bloody puke all over the bathroom so now it's a hazmat thing. Addiction fuckin sucks.
