I looked at their location finder to see how close one is to me. The closest one is a combined LJS and KFC, so yes, in the same category.

No clue. Not making any claims other than that there’s no known expiration for water that’s not subject to excess heat.

Well, maybe. You said years plural, so let’s take just two years. 2 years * 365 days a year * 24 hours a day * 60 minutes an hour is 1,051,200 minutes in two years.

Let’s say that every time you use 2FA it’s an extra 2 minutes. How many times a day do you use 2FA? That’s probably the biggest variable. For some people it’s a couple times a week, for others it’s several times a day. Let’s say 5 times a day. We also need to know how long you’ve been using 2FA. That’s going to be another big variable. Does 5 years seem reasonable? If so, 5 years * 5 times a day * 365 days a year * 2 minutes each time = 18,250 minutes wasted on 2FA.

That’s a small fraction of the million minutes in two years, but it could change a lot depending on some of the variables.

But on the other side, if even one time the 2FA stopped you getting your account hacked, the calculation would change a lot.

God I miss them. He wasn’t a perfect president, but it seemed like he really tried to do the right thing.

As always, Thomas and Alito have to demonstrate what pieces of crap they are.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I’m not really enjoying 2025 so far (I’ll just mention that I’m pretty far left leaning as well, so you can understand that country/world events are stressful).

We had planned on selling our house in CA and moving to WA. Now my wife has gone to NM to live with our son, and I’m getting ready to sell the CA house so we can each buy one. I’ve decided to stay in the same area of CA (where I grew up, where all my friends are), which means my house will be a small condo since prices here are super high. So that’s adding to the stress, but compared to the marriage ending thing it feels more minor.

I know things will settle out, but it’s been hard to take.

I’m 62. I retired in January. In February, my 30-year marriage ended. I’m living alone for the first time in decades, and I never really did it very long before (a few years in my late 20s. It’s very strange. at this age.

Right, and doing that can make it go above levels even before the best buy date. But bottled water that isn’t allowed to get really hot doesn’t have a known expiration.

As OP said, lighter and flakier than a scone. Pretty easy to make from scratch. Here’s a typical recipe.

It’s a pretty low risk unless the bottles get really hot.

There are different types of dates in the US. Few things have expiration dates, which means it can be dangerous (or, for medication, ineffective) after that date. Most things have “best before” dates, which means the company has tested the product that far from its production and found it still met the quality standard.

The problem is that the FDA requires that testing and that every product have such a date. People have mentioned salt, which is inert, having a date, and that’s probably the most ridiculous example, but there are lots of things that have super long shelf lives beyond the best buy dates. Honey, soy sauce, bottled water, and vinegar being examples that come to mind.

And, even after all that, when you go to put the sheet on the bed you still find a sock.

Funny, I live in California where there’s are some LJS’s, but I’ve never been to one. There are no Captain D’s here, but I’ve eaten in one a few times because I used to travel to Alabama for work. It was honestly fine. It was basically just what I expected from the phrase “fast food fish and chips.”

A&W is the best of the top few major brand root beers, but there are some in most grocery stores that are much better. Virgil’s and Henry Weinhart’s probably the best of the easily found ones.

Maybe it depends on climate, but bread left out where I am gets moldy way before it gets stale. The best solution is to keep it in the freezer (in a bag, and any of those methods but CE would probably be fine). Weeks later, the bread is still soft and send fresh. Bread thaws unbelievably fast. If I’m making a sandwich, I take two slices out and put them on a plate separated. Usually by the time I’ve got the other ingredients ready to go, the bread is thawed. If you’re toasting the bread, it can go straight from freezer to toaster. If you’re making sandwiches to take to work or school, you can just make them on the frozen bread.

The fridge is the worst place. Try the freezer.

Could be, but then they should strike because of the set of things, not the straw.

If that’s true it’s not mentioned in the article. It just says they have to wear a black shirt and blue, black, khaki, or denim pants.

Yeah, my thought too. There are enough things wrong with that company - this one policy change doesn’t seem that bad to me. I mean, I’d certainly prefer more leeway than less, but there are a million other chains with more restrictive dress codes. For many, it’s a single specific color pants and a uniform shirt. The updated dress code isn’t horrific.

“We demand the right to wear plaid.”

Unless restaurants are serving nitrous now, I think this is at a dentist’s office.
