No, but I would, but that would mean going to the nearest city (Portland) which is, imho, a shithole filled with people I find annoying at best. A couple of those people would be the same ones promoting meetups. So for now, I'll pass. I don't live in Oregon for a reason, and I try not to visit.
Maybe you are paying more for their time? If they give you 20 minutes of value in your food, you pay them for 20 minutes of their time?
There really is no correlation between price and waiting time in the food service industry. You don't really pay more to get it faster, or pay less and expect it to be slower.
I think it's the personal connection, or the impression there could be a personal connection. You see the person taking your order as a real person, not some kid behind a counter getting minimum wage, and you believe your incentives are aligned - they want to provide the best experience, and you also want that. Also you're right there - you see the grill, the fridges, the cook(s), etc. It is food theatre on a small stage where you play your part in the intimacy.
No, that doesn't always work out, but we feel that it could, even just once, in a way we wouldn't expect to find at Taco Bell.
Gn. I quit. At least for some minutes, no telling how many.
I think you're mistaken. But such are beliefs, right? You believe in zombies, i can believe in unicorns.
Nice. I like just driving through Lassen and dodging rocks.
Onalaska. Where my travels took me this evening. #moto
Harvesting meat. From tracking, hunting, killing, to butchering and preserving.
4. Hot trash.
Interesting point, about being more productive the less you know both know. I like this concept, and it rings true. Will be thinking on this for a while.
And many would never attend a conference, or at least not as their anon identity. Meet-ups are maybe a little different, but also kind of cringey, especially for anon.
G35x is done. Failed u-joint, front driveshaft came loose from front differential, punched a hole in the bell housing. Also cracked the front differential, knocking a mounting bolt loose, and allowing gear oil to dump out.
So at minimum, need a driveshaft, u-joint, front differential, and transmission bell housing. And it means dropping the transmission, which means being on a lift, which means shop time. Several thousand dollars worth of work, again at minimum. Probably not worth it. Now the car is up for sale as a motor swap donor, because that 3.5 nissan/infiniti is solid.
Hopefully this means I stack more sats. I have other cars, don't need to replace tgis one right away.

First night of high school football (we won).
Something in my G35 blew, had to have it towed home. Doesn't seem to be too bad, shut it down before it ran dry of oil after puking some of it. So tomorrow will likely be sorting that out.
Got the tow, and still made it to watch the second half! Could have been so much worse.
I'm older than you. Fucking engage. figure out something you can get lost in, and do that, a lot. Bonus if it scores you money. Once you're actually engaged in something, then you can work out some of the details, but from a much better place. You'll be having fun, because you're engaged. You'll find others that are engaged too, and develop that sense of community. The rest of the stuff, like meaning, purpose, all just kind of falls into place if you're actively engaged. Fuck your motivation, just do. Don't worry about your identity, or what other people think about what is between your legs, because it doesn't fucking matter. You don't have an identity until you're engaged. That engagement molds you, allows you to take on your own shape that others might recognize. Until you do this, you will just be a grey blob, lost, unsure of yourself and your abilities. You aren't too disabled to work for others, that is bullshit cope. That is in your mind, because you're thinking of the others. You work for yourself. You engage for yourself, with yourself. Others come much later, and they will work for you.
Do.
