@89th said in Slowest drive-thru?: @jon-nyc said in Slowest drive-thru?: I’ve been by a Starbucks with 30 cars in line, and almost nobody parked. You run in and out with your coffee and the line has barely moved. Me too, except for the rare time when you go in and the in-store service is SO SLOW because they are focusing 90% of their operations to support the drive through volume. Why wait for an order? They always have free samples out in full sizes, though they are derivative of Coke cans… Today I am sharing an Americano with Paul!

Nothing like a good tipsy conversation!

@George-K said in Fastest Accelerating Electric Car: @Doctor-Phibes said in Fastest Accelerating Electric Car: NASCAR isn’t really an international series. Yeah, but the WORLD SERIES, man! They don't call it the WORLD series for nuthin'! USA! USA! USA! Well, if we're going to get like that, the US equivalent of Formula 1 is IndyCar rather than NASCAR, which is more the US equivalent of International Tractor Racing, and there have been plenty of European winners of Indy races - in fact there have been a number of champions from the other side of the pond. Incidentally, there has only been 4 American winners of the Indy 500 this century, as opposed to 6 Brazilians and 5 Brits.

Wow. For that price, I am assuming it does not include any transfer of "intellect property".

I would not expect a candidate to say anything but "I am going to win". LOL It always seems that there is a candidate somewhere who has a 99.9999999...% chance of losing, but right before the election gives a speech - "I guarantee that I will surprise everyone and win tomorrow! I guarantee it!!!"

Not surprised this competition didn’t crossover to Scotland back in the day.

@George-K Ouch and ewwww

Pretty dumb article if you ask me.

I was once staying next to a rooster house. Hated it!! They would start making noise way before the sun came up!! Aaaargh!!!!

Never got into ZZ Top. Don’t know why either. They had some real good toe tappers during beer drinking binges. Preferred Hound Dog Taylor and the House Rockers. Loved the dirty slide playing on a cheap guitar.

Good Lord, I'm glad I'm married.

And, he's in AZ (Arizona for you auslanders, Arisounua for you BREXIT!! BREXIT!! BREXIT!!! ...ters). Either way, deader'n a mackerel.

That fox looks pretty unhealthy.

Yeah, I used to spend a lot of time in the city - running along the lakefront early in the morning and sometimes very late at night. My wife is on faculty at the University of Illinois in the Department of Urology - and there are crime problems every day - parking garage or just in broad daylight. I have some friends who live on the gold coast of Chicago - what was one of the safest neighborhoods in the city - up until recently, but now, there are no safe places in the city. They're planning their exit as people with means can choose to not put themselves at an unnecessary risk. It seems that the young bands of criminals will target businesses or just people at a specific location and rob and then dissolve the group to avoid detection. Much of the problem comes from our local State's Attorney who seems to have a very lenient way of looking at things. There are no consequences. As long as you don't kill someone, you're good - and if you do kill someone, chances are you won't be found.
