Hustle culture isn't about hustling while you work, hustle culture is about making your whole life about your work and slaving for your job.

It's been a while since I've been up to that end of town, but from the early '00s when I moved here to the last time I was there, just pre-COVID, they were the best around.

Yeah, same here. I hardly ever get north of Chestnut or I'd be eating there way more often.

Their menu is a bit hit or miss, but what they do well they do really well.

Funny, when I've been there they were great.

People hate on it because it's not "authentic."

What they don't get is that it is authentic, it's just not authentic MEXICAN. It's authentic, old-school diner style texmex.

Try Barker's. They're out at W.Bypass & Chestnut, and they've done well by me.

Fair enough. They're not available in my neck of the woods so I'm basically guessing.

It's likely because SpringNet is a special project by CU, who simply contracts the running of the network out, and so is handled differently than regular servicing.

The point is that your spiel about "leeching off society" for wanting to find a public grill sounds like something a MAGAt would say.

Yeah, but can heelys do offroading?

You voted Trump, didn't you?

I'm just about that level, and things would be a bit tight if I was living solo but it'd be okay. If you have a housemate or spouse to split expenses with, you're golden.

Yeah, the problem with the weather yesterday was mostly the heavy wind and related windchill. Now it's still hella cold, but the actual snow is just a couple inches with no ice involved.

I feel you there. Got a '40s house, myself.

Did you at least have your faucets dripping? It won't always stop a freeze when it gets this cold, but it should keep the pressure from cracking anything.

Oh fuck off with that self-righteous bullshit.

It's statistically proven you're a bigger danger to others driving slower than the pace of traffic than faster. If you can't keep up with the flow, you shouldn't be in it.

It's a good thing you don't drive, because you're the asshole making traffic worse and more dangerous for everyone else.

> it just seems like everywhere I go there are people who don't understand just how understaffed and stressed everybody is.

They understand, but it's not their problem your bosses can't hire enough people.

It's not your fault, either, but pressure from the public to fix service levels by hiring more people and paying them enough to keep a full staff on hand is a good thing.

>Entitled people demanding things the place is out of, threatening wait staff over the lettuce shortage, throwing a fit because their Wendy's took an extra 2 minutes to get to their car.

Yeah... that's just throwing a tantrum because their life sucks and they're taking it out on everyone around them. Fuck that noise.

>nice boots

I think you mean "good boots," not "nice boots."

Nice boots are the fancy boots you wear when you want to look attractive. Good boots are the ones that'll keep you dry and warm during a slog through ankle-deep water.

Well, it's a handicapped plate so I'm not going to rule out them being too infirm to actually be safe driving but nobody wanted to be the one to tell them "no."

ExtraMostBestest is Little Caesar's.

They have their "Classic" pizzas, which used to be the dirt cheap "Hot-n-Ready" stuff, and the ExtraMostBestest. The former are dirt cheap but skimp on everything, while the latter are a few dollars more but much more loaded.

Spend a couple bucks more and get an ExtraMostBestest. The extra cheese and toppings really improve the quality.

Oh yeah.

Their regular burritos are pretty good, too.

I felt physical pain from that pun. Kindly take this upvote and go fuck in an offward direction.

I have a newer car with adaptive cruise control. I set mine to a 3-second follow distance, which is the recommended standard for safety, and just chill.

It won't be available in my area until March... which is at least more than Quantum (aka CenturyLink) would ever tell me.

Brightspeed is apparently a brand new company, like formed in '21 new, and still going through some teething troubles. They bought out a lot of Quantum's infrastructure in the wake of the company shitting the bed on developing the networks in places where they had contracts.
