You can get a Tequila Kicker in any alcoholic drink at Texas Roadhouse, but only one per drink.
 
There was a sequence of events somewhere that led to this restriction.

Congrats

"This happens all the time and is perfectly safe!" - Me as a fireball engulfs the derailed tanker cars next to my house

"Less shitty than we used to be" is a meaningless metric when our rail system is incredibly unsafe compared to those of peer nations.

Probably the homeless. /s

I support bathing at least once a day while you're at a con

lol at the comic book and anime guys taking themselves so seriously.
 
You can locate ComicCon by smell alone

> The issue of freight rail being safer than ever? ;-)

Except it isn't. and US freight rail is significantly less safe than European freight.

Close enough to Tequila Cowboy.
 
The crowd up there on a Friday or Saturday night is as rowdy as anywhere else.

> If a homeless shelter goes in there that block is permanently fucked forever.
 

So what's your solution to the homeless question? Bus tickets to California?

The people posting in these non-stop threads about the homeless "threat" don't want the homeless to be helped, they just want them gone by any means necessary.

Wonder why nobody complains about the shootings or stabbings that happen around Tequila Cowboy.

This is not a shining endorsement

We're gonna do this shit every day, huh?

> Endemic means that a disease has a constant presence with a population;

 
That's not what it means.
 
It means that a disease is present at a low level in a population, i.e. R0 =< 1. Once an endemic disease starts spreading in an uncontrolled fashion, it becomes an epidemic or a pandemic.
&nbsp;

AIDS is still considered an epidemic disease, for instance. Rabies is considered endemic to certain animals in North America because it's there, it just doesn't spread out of control all the time.

&nbsp;
Covid is too contagious to ever be endemic. At best we'll get measles-like oscillating waves of infection. It's going to kill 250K+ Americans per year in perpetuity and there are plenty of people living their lives with that bit of risk calculus in mind.

&nbsp;
> these same people have to start working to start their lives and, again, are qualified to do nothing other than basic service industry jobs.

&nbsp;
This is a bizarre way of looking at the workforce when over half of all young people go to college.
&nbsp;
No one owes the restaurant industry, or the restaurant patron, their labor. Nobody. If restaurants close because they can't make money paying their workers what they want to make, fuck 'em. There's a labor shortage, and that's life.
&nbsp;
A lot of the people who asked for better restaurant wages pre-pandemic and were told "GO GET A BETTER JOB IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!" did exactly that - they went and got better jobs.
&nbsp;

> I don't know why you're so hostile to the idea, but COVID did not permanently kill late-night dining.

&nbsp;
Of course it didn't. It certainly did negatively impact it in a great way, though. Just like it impacted everything else. And it's going to keep impacting it for a long time.

The casino's purpose is making money, if they don't have a 24 hour restaurant there it's because they've already ran the numbers and figured out that they can't make money off your hypothetical.

I wouldn't really consider going there for food, the entire place is depressing.

I ate here once, four or so years ago, and it was the worst breakfast food I've ever eaten.

> we're at the endemic phase of the pandemic.

&nbsp;
You don't know what that word means and you're misusing it.

&nbsp;
Covid is the leading cause of death in America that isn't heart disease or cancer and it's going to continue to be that for the foreseeable future. Restaurants are incredibly good at spreading Covid.

&nbsp;
> what we have in the way of harm reduction is what we're going to get.

&nbsp;
And if people decided their version of harm reduction was getting out of a risky profession that paid like shit, good on them.
&nbsp;
Every restaurant in this city that's closed recently has cited staffing concerns as a major contributor. People don't want to risk their lives for shit wages. I know people who used the pandemic to get out of the hospitality industry entirely and I doubt they're the only ones.

> This subs hardon to raising everyone’s taxes is so weird.

&nbsp;
One of the big reasons people keep moving out to exurbs like Cranberry Township is to enjoy subsidized infrastructure at artificially low tax rates. So yes, when their rates go up to what they should be, it's good.
&nbsp;
Your tax dollars subsidize this hopping from development to development in search of artificially low taxes.

&nbsp;

> and people will be forced out of their homes because they can’t afford them anymore.

&nbsp;
Yeah, I'm sure some guy in a $700K Cranberry Township McMansion is going to go homeless over this.

> there are absolutely people who would be willing to work a night shift at a restaurant

&nbsp;
I'd say that there aren't, since none of these places can find any.
&nbsp;
Restaurant work fucking sucks and there's an ongoing mass death event that killed over 260K people last year, which spreads explosively in restaurants. There are reasons these places can't find labor.

The casino's late night customers are gambling addicts and they're there whether there's food or not.

I don't think the sort of people looking to go to a restaurant at 1 AM are in any shape to drive to Washington, but YMMV.

> Waffle House is a half hour drive from Lawrenceville with no traffic

So it's never a half hour drive from Lawrenceville

> There is no relevant governing body that will hold Kennywood to account other than the DA.

&nbsp;
The DA has no power to hold Kennywood to account and this is political grandstanding to appeal to suburbanites, hope this helps.
