1) Sweep the tail, Daniel-san. 2) Go for the balls. If a shot to the balls is so painful to us,i'm guessing it's painful to all mammals. Those roos are definitely going for the nards. The rules of engagement have been established. Go for the balls. |

@pistol23 You sound like a small minded loser. The NBA is rigging team total propositions? How much collective money do you think is wagered on team totals? |

In recent years he has been critical of the state of San Francisco, as if he isn't the key reason for said state, and as if he hasn't done a horrible job in Sacramento. I mean, i'm no London Breed fan, and things have definitely gotten worse on her watch, but a lot of that has to do with covid, and fentanyl. The current state of San Francisco traces directly back to Gavin. It's comical that he is trying to separate himself from SF, in preparation for an eventual Presidential run. |

And Wendy's is better than McDonald's but they're trash too. I have a short list of fast food I will eat. I will eat Wendy's but only for their chicken Sandwiches. Their burgers, like McDonald's, don't taste like beef to me. |

We're a country that routinely pays 4.50 for shitty Starbuck's coffee. Paying $11.50 for shitty McDonald's is not alarming. Another fast food story. I don't eat a ton of it so this was a few months ago, and in Oregon, not Cali. The wife and I are out shopping. We stop at Shake Shack for lunch. She gets a single, no fries, but a cola. I get a double, with fries, but I drink water. It was over 30 bucks. I didn't blink an eye. Two burgers, one fry, one drink. So when I see a guy complaining about the price of McDonald's, for one, if it was $60, you're eating too much food, but if it was $50, that's kind of the expected price point. |

And McDonald's is legit horrible. The only good part of my meal was the orange Hi-C. Even the fries were a bad batch. Make your own burgers. I literally grind my own beef and experiment with different blends. These days i'm all about smashed on the griddle. You don't have to go that far though. You can make burgers and fries for your family of better quality for half the price. Fast food was meant for road trips. You're paying for convenience. |

I thought about this thread a few days ago. I was back in California. I have been helping my best friend with a carpentry project. Some decking, some outdoor stairs. By helping, I mean doing it mostly on my own. I'm in town often enough on business, and have been working on it a couple hours here, couple there, when I have the free time on trips. Totally free, as it's my best friend, and I am not hurting for money. So there I am with a few hours to work on the project in the early afternoon when my boy hits me to say he's been called in to work so i'm on my own. He didn't get a chance to pick up materials but his truck keys are at the house if I don't mind going. And his wife is out with the boys. She usually makes lunch when I visit. So now my boy is going to not only get free labor out of me, get supplies bought for him because i'm not about to ask him for the money back, but no lunch to boot. Get to his house, grab the truck, head to Home Depot. I'm like, "Shite, well I guess I gotta eat lunch on my own before I get started." There's a McD right there. I say f*ck it. I almost never eat McD. And on the rare occasions that I do, it's breakfast. I order a meal. It's like 10 bucks. And the it hit me. 10 bucks is about what I remembered a meal at McD costing. Even in California, with their $20 fast food minimum wage, fast food prices had yet to skyrocket. McD value meals were like 4 bucks when the debuted. That was over three decades ago. How much would you have them cost now? So I leave you all with this. 1) McDonald's is horrible. Worst fastfood burger. In&Out and Shake Shack is worlds better. In&Out is moderately priced but Shake Shack is like twice the price of McD. 2) If you can't afford McDonald's, don't eat McDonald's. You won't be missing anything. And if it cost your family of four $50-$60 to eat at McDonald's, then you need to check your caloric intake. Don't get it supersized. Don't get a Mac-damn-flurry. My $10 meal was like an entire day's worth of calories. 3) Fastfood workers "making to much money" is not issue. They definitely don't. The entire economy is unbalanced and things like this are simply corrections. If a business can't pay their employees decently and still turn a profit, then I would argue they are operating under a poor business model, and maybe they should fold. I mean, when did fastfood restaurants, convenience stores, etc. start asking for tips at the credit card reader? What is really the problem? Franchise costs too high? Is it the oversaturation of the big 4 fastfood restaurants? The ridiculous advertising costs? I've never seen a Shake Shack commercial. The chicken nuggets are coming home to roost. If you're going to build a successful business in today's world, it's probably not going to be on the backs of underpaid labor. |

You just started noticing cuts being made to school districts? No, I don't. It should be though, instead of being used to fund proxy wars solely to pump said money into the pockets of defense contractors. |

The Nuggets have been one of the top teams for several years straight, defending champs led by a 2-time MVP. The Lakers were in the play-in. |
