Fuck, I don’t even like changing tires on my bicycles.

Yeah, I really want to buy one of these things, but there’s no place around that could do any kind of work on them. I also wouldn’t mind a gas-powered scooter, but the nearest shops that sell them are over 25 miles away and they don’t work on any scooters that they didn’t sell you – and their cheapest scooters cost even more than the Aventura-X.

individual consumer packages may not bear this labeling, as retail stores may have applied their own stickers with pricing and safe handling instructions

The recalled meat could still have ended up in packages for consumers. What they’re saying is that you can’t know since retail stores would have cut up this meat and repackaged it.

I think his strategy was to tell his bosses he had run out of fuel and wouldn’t be able to make the rest of his deliveries. But I dunno, the articles about this never said what his thought process was. I drive past this station twice a day and the stink from it was horrible. 8000 gallons is a lot of fucking gas.

This reminds me that years ago I was friends with a bunch of Red Bull girls. Their job was to pick up the Red Bull mini-cooper, fill it with cases of Red Bull and then drive around handing out free samples wherever people were while being attractive. They were very good at the being attractive part, but most days they would just drive to the river, dump the cases of Red Bull in it, and then go home and get high. Their bosses suspected something like this was going on and gave them all Windows Mobile PDAs that tracked their location by GPS. I checked out the tracking app (I was a Windows Mobile developer at the time) and it turned out it just logged their GPS coordinates once an hour into a plain text file. I showed them how to edit the file to make it look like they were driving around – just doing my part saving at least some people from trying fucking Red Bull.

Eh, if the public has all been replaced by AI, they won’t have money to go anywhere.

Just a couple of years ago in my neighborhood a truck driver was arrested because he offloaded 4000 gallons of gasoline at a gas station, then ran the hose down an embankment next to the station and pumped the remaining 8000 gallons into a creek. He did this because he wanted to go home and didn’t feel like making the rest of his stops. He apparently thought nobody would notice; for bonus points this was right next to a charter school which had to be evacuated while they cleaned up the mess.

He was arrested and sentenced to 20+ years in prison. This is the intelligence level that can get hired as a fuel truck driver (TBF I’m sure they’re not all that stupid).

Edit: just for funsies, the gas station where this happened recently rebranded as a “Freedom Fuel” station lol.

The point is moot. With diesel skyrocketing they won’t be able to drive at all.

Over the last year I lived with my parents to take care of them and occasionally I had to entertain myself with their cable TV. I used to spend hours channel surfing and there was almost always lots of stuff to choose from. Now I just end up watching Beat Bobby Flay because there’s absolutely nothing else to watch. And I don’t really want to watch Beat Bobby Flay either.

I felt like this watching Black Panther. The “bad” guy wanted to give Wakanda’s weapons to the oppressed and downtrodden people of the world, and I was like “yeah, sounds good.”

I would probably get botox for my chin first and then think about it.

At least with a food truck there’s a chance the food is good!

Yeah, that was the price range of the trucks and equipment I was seeing. I’m just surprised there are any food trucks operating anywhere at all in this country.

Less than 1500USD, you can get a food stall and materials to start a food cart.

I bought a used school bus a few years ago, and as part of the search process I started running into food trucks for sale (here in the US). Oh my fucking god are those things expensive, even when they’re already well-used. It’s no wonder food truck food is so absurdly expensive, and it must still take them forever to pay off their initial costs. Additionally, a lot of places here won’t even let you operate a food truck at all unless it’s associated with a brick-and-mortar restaurant.

Popeyes spicy is the goat for fast food.

This is local to the Philly/NYC area, but Asad’s Hot Chicken is really fucking good. I expect them to expand considerably in the next few years … and then turn to complete shit a few years after that.

I would pay the kind of money that people pay to go to Disney to not have to go to Disney.

I laughed my ass off when Popeye’s adopted their “Louisiana Fast” slogan. I used to live in Louisiana and there is absolutely no such fucking thing. Their fried chicken is decent, though.

A weird thing I’ve noticed about Freddy’s is that whenever a new store opens (they’ve done a lot of expansion recently in my area) the staff is all white teenagers, mostly girls. And then within a few months it’s entirely staffed by black people. I wonder if they have a roving crew of white people to open new stores with and get the mostly-white locals accustomed to eating there.

And it’s a triangle now. I seem to remember that it used to be a real piece of chicken, but not any more.

$10

Lol I got lunch at Five Guys for myself and my mother the day before yesterday. Two burgers, one order of fries, and two fountain drinks, for $44. For bonus points, I couldn’t figure out how to use the fucking drink dispenser – I apparently aged 40 years in two minutes. For even more bonus points, the bottom of the bag ripped open because of all the grease from the fries.
