Re: The Worst Chain Restaurant in America

perhaps, but there isn't a non-chain that serves thousands of people per day.  for me, that is the mind-boggling aspect of huge, shitty chains - they are not just shitty, but they entice enormous quantities of people to eat there.  this is far more interesting to me than independent local restauran...

Equally puzzling are the non-chain restaurants that everyone purports to love but that actually aren't anything special.

Re: Flooding on the Missouri

The thing that is making me nervous is the Ft. Peck Dam. From what the report states, it isn't a matter of 'if' but 'when'.

I'm not sure what to think, either. I'm not interested in iOS features on my PC. Lion looks like Snow Leopard in the sense that it's a big "meh."

What exactly is the damage that keeps it out of production for that long? The debris brought in by the floodwaters? Something else?

Supposedly Gingerbread is more power efficient. I hope so because the EVO's battery life blows when it's on CDMA or WiMAX.

It is very true that parts of NE JoCo are underwhelming.  The 75th St and Antioch corridors as well as Merriam & east Shawnee are perfect examples.  (side note: An old-timer in the handyman industry once told me that they called the 75th Street corridor “Poverty Ridge” because that is where fol...
