ultrabindu posted:A couple of the McD's I went to had an 'express lane' with one person with an iPad taking peoples orders and another person on a till that you pay and then another person brings up your order after about another minute or so, how common is this? The one near me does this for the lunch rush, especially with the drive-thru line that can sometimes get long enough to spill out of the parking lot and block a lane of the road (because gently caress you, other cars, I need a lovely burger!). The idea is to only stop the line for a second at each window to pay or grab food, and it seems to work...often the ipad person is walking with cars as they continually move.

Solice Kirsk posted:The problem with the Patriots is that every call goes their way, their quarterback is some sort of handsome football demigod, their coach can turn any rag tag group of players into champions, and their fans all talk like idiots. Funny how confirmation bias works. If I didn't have a life I'd edit together a compilation of all of the non-calls and bogus flags that went the other way; no one remembers guys climbing Gronk like a tree (to be fair, the only way to stop him) and the refs twiddling their thumbs. The refs have just been awful in general this year and have hosed every single team over multiple times.....but also helped every team by loving their opponent. Pats fans only remember the calls that hosed the team over, non-Pats-fans only remember the ones that hurt the other team, plus some legit calls on both sides that they refuse to see reason about simply because they don't like the result, and everyone hates everyone else. It's easier to say there's a conspiracy in the whole NFL to prop up the Patriots than to be rational. Phanatic posted:Also their fans. This site is old and defunct but the article sums it up perfectly: I just love how worked up people get over it, poo poo that is not socially acceptable at all but football gives them a pass....guys trying to start poo poo with me in a Publix because I'm wearing a Patriots hoodie the one day of the year it's cold in FL. gently caress me for growing up 20 miles from Foxboro I guess?  Football fans in general just suck, and I appear to be in the minority that can just watch my own team each season and not yell at people in supermarkets because they like a team that beat the team I like  Actual content in this thread that's supposed to be full of funny pictures:

Ultimate Shrek Fan posted:Free vacation, man! Nashville wouldn't be my first choice, but, free vacation, man! Doesn't count as a vacation if I have to get up at 7am every day. At home working remote I can just roll out of bed at 11, so this is some serious bullshit. It's not even like there's an event I need to be here for, like a big product release or something. They just want all remote employees to pop in every few months because reasons. My old excuse of "they don't pay me enough to care" doesn't apply anymore, though; this is actually a pretty sweet gig, so I put up with it. I just don't get why they WANT to pay several grand to have me be less productive for a week, since I'm uncomfortable (have to wear actual pants, crappy office chair, etc.) and forced to use this lovely mac because they won't let me connect my other laptop to the wifi (not that I have my multi-monitor setup or any other resources I have at home anyway). Overall I'd estimate I get maybe 1 day's productivity out of the week. That said, Wicked opened in the theater across the street from my hotel last night, and it's super easy to find a last minute ticket for just one person, so that was a nice distraction. I loving loathe country music, so otherwise this city is pretty awful for me.

Swat Kats was one of the greatest cartoons of my childhood  . Probably one of the last 80s style premises where you can just hear the middle-aged network executive say, "What if these two guys were fighter pilots who built their own kick-rear end jet in a garbage dump.....but they're also in a world where EVERYONE IS A CAT!" , the TV show.

Enola Gay-For-Pay posted:Wow, I didn't know any of this. That sucks, I kinda liked him. Probably because it's based entirely on the raging of people on twitter, and everyone loves piling on even if they never actually see any of this poo poo the person in question supposedly did. Entirely related: Gay Horney posted:Imagine breathlessly rushing to block some one on Twitter because you read a post on a forum I read what he wrote about the whole incident, and ignoring anything about who did what to who when (I don't have the energy to defend a guy I don't even know to other people I don't know)....dude's spot on about how utterly toxic these sites are now. How many people in just this thread are nodding along to "gently caress Wil Wheaton" who didn't even know about any of this poo poo. I've been banned from so many sphynx cat groups on facebook for "being mean" by doing things like responding to "Omg something is wrong with my cat what should I do" with "stop asking for medical advice on facebook and take her to the vet". I'm pretty sure it's impossible to interact with anyone on social media at this point and not kick off a lynch mob that wants to drive you off of it, no matter how minor (or imaginary) your crimes. It's a lot easier to believe the horrible poo poo you read about someone and write them off as a terrible person than it is to give them the benefit of the doubt. All that said, burn it all to the ground and start over. Or don't, I'm totally fine with twitter just not existing anymore.

zoux posted:His crimes as I read them are: Pretty much. I love how this "article" (someone's rant) even describes exactly what happened, which is incredibly clear was due to the idiotic "prank" and not because the user was trans in any way.....and then acknowledges the obvious problem here with, "Why does this user being trans matter?" Because he made a mistake ages ago, which he apologized for and rectified as far as he was able to, if he does ANYTHING and the other party happens to be trans he's a monster? You read anything else he writes, and it's incredibly clear he's on the right side of poo poo. But that requires effort and thought.

biracial bear for uncut posted:Most of the complaints boil down to the whole "Silence is complicity" thing. If you aren't regularly saying "gently caress those awful people that do those awful things" as a person with (even as small as Wheaton's) sphere of influence, you're probably supporting them. Which gets down to the heart of the biggest problem with social media in general as a court of public opinion: The only emotion allowed is outrage. You're either yelling about the correct things, or you're the enemy.

I'm a paid shill for both big pharma AND big pet food, it seems.

Just lol at the idea that most people get past algebra, let alone touch multivariable calculus. I taught HS math in Florida, specifically Algebra 2; I assumed I would be teaching freshmen, based on when I remember taking classes in my day, but 99% of my students were seniors, most of whom failed the course multiple times (and the administration pulled strings to graduate them anyway so the school didn't look bad). A more appropriate graph for the top end of that curve:

Aleph Null posted:I had Algebra, Geometry, Trig, and Basic Calc in high school; I tested out of Calc 1, did pretty good in Calc 2 and Differential Equations (my favorite) in college before flunking out of Topology because I was the only undergrad in the class. Oh gently caress I'm having a PTSD flashback to "Boundary Value Problems" in undergrad....loving 12 pages to solve a single problem because your single differential equation gets broken into separate equations of a single variable and each of those has a whole class of possible solutions based on assumptions about the sign of a constant and  Speaking of topology, currently teaching myself tensors properly for the first time, we always just hand-wave those away in a lot of physics courses. I was trying to finally tackle some general relativity and it turns out properly understanding tensors is no longer optional. It sounds a lot scarier than it is, though, I have no idea why they couldn't include this in the graduate classical mechanics course....would have made electrodynamics and quantum mechanics a hell of a lot simpler.

To get away from weird lesbian chat, it does weird me out when anyone list interests like that and everything is a variation on a single theme. You're an astronaut, you're probably a nerd on some level....surely you're into sci-fi or art or anything else you could toss in to mix it up a little. Then again, I have never met a single person who is into crossfit whose interest list would be anything but 41 variants of "working out"......but Anne McClain is still pretty awesome
