They've only covered 10% of the area's population so far. I'm super loving lucky. drat, that's good. What are Comcast and Centurylink's arguments in court? I mean I understand they can be as frivolous as they want, but do they have legitimate complaints or are they just being cum stains? Obviously, deep down in my heart, I already know the answer.

In Sweden the market is more less divided between McDonald's, Burger king and the local chain Max with BK being third. Haven't noticed any drop in quality, but on the other hand I think most Burger Kings in Sweden are franchised by the same few companies that also are franchisees of other fast-food chains so I guess that means some sort of leverage against corporate or whatever. Also they're fairly clever when it comes to advertising, like when that Irish chain was sued by McDonald's in the EU for using the Mc-trademark but lost so BK renamed everything on the menu to variants of "Not a Big Mac". https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/jan/31/like-a-big-mac-but-juicier-burger-king-renames-sandwiches-to-troll-mcdonalds They, or their agency rather, also did a tie-in with RDR2 where if you collected a cheese wedge, a bread roll, beef and pork in-game and scanned your inventory from an app you were given a voucher for a free whopper. I tried scanning my face which apparently resembles a cheese wedge enough to scan properly, I then tried it with my penis, turns out it looks like a bread roll  Site's still up if anyone's curious https://craftawhopper.com/

Comstar posted:What happened? Well the earnings report showed dismal numbers and the stock tanked like 11% after hours. Then the earnings call began and: Musk announced that the CTO since 2004 and basically only talented and experienced guy at the executive level still at tesla would "transition" to an advisory role. He has also been selling of his stocks the past year, a very reassuring sign that everything is fine at the company. On being asked about either demand or profitability on the models S+X (can't remember which) Musk chose to joke that they're good because otherwise the line-up wouldn't spell out SEXY. I'm fairly sure he didn't really answer the question. When asked about how Tesla were to improve service Musk told the call how now commonly needed parts would be stored at the service centers for immediate use rather than in central warehouses to be ordered when needed. If your new to Tesla, loving up by refusing to use practices and solutions to problems solved by the auto industry for at least decades is very much their MO. That's just from the top of my head, there was lots more and I can't wait for this train wreck of a company to die and let me stop obsessing about it.

They even had BEER in six-packs. Still very much a thing, at least in Canada https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Name_(brand)
