Cheap, high-calorie junk-foods are DEFINITELY a 1st-world prob.

I want to talk about McDonalds, but everyone else is tired of talking about it.

Did McD stop salting their fries or what? Shit is not the same AT ALL.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

it was a promo called McPick 2 for $2 which is being replaced by McPick 2 for $5, with the "better" sandwiches.

Had to settle for a FoF + 10piece nuggets for $5, which is not really a good value considering FoF's used to be $1 and 2x5 piece nuggets used to be $2.


My first world problem is I make a shitload of money yet here I am, debating the difference between spending $2 vs $1 at McD.

Give enough money to me to donate to charity that you feel justified comparing again!

It's a manual operation. The frymeister at your location probably undersalts.

I go to a shameful number of McD's and they're all the same.

Maybe it's a California thing. They probably use metered shakers there to only release a healthful volume of salt :^D

I would not doubt that at all.

I put a 5.1 system in my bedroom (along with a projector, because why not) & all of my RL friends (read: non-techie) think it's silly (and overkill). OTOH, I get to watch the Flash & Walking Dead on a 90" screen in glorious surround-sound before bed, so :awe:

On a tangent, my goal was to clone the somewhat expensive $2,000 Bose Cube system, but on a budget. Turns out $200 gets you a pretty good competitor. Writeup here:

I tried to read some dude's how-to on building a ghetto BOSE 5.1 setup, but he put all text and no pictures. WHAT THE FUCK, in 2016, ALL TEXT AND NO PICTURES!?

OK. But what does that have to do with McDonald's?

Wanted to be eco-friendly and buy gel pen refills, but gel pen refills cost 99% as much as the pens. So I just bought a new pack of pens.

my riding headphones broke. now i have to go back home w/o music.

 

[Sonikku]

The exhaust for my Ducati is being held up in customs in Belgium...

Oh, and the scanner for my wife's computer doesn't work with the Windows 10 laptop I bought her recently so I had to order her a new scanner.

You know where I go for pens? Pen Island. You should check them out at their online store, just add .com.

I just throw them in the recycling bin when I'm done. They probably will go into the garbage when sorted but it makes me feel good about myself...

 

[Ns1]

I would argue that the pen refills are less eco friendly because they only come 2 to a pack but I can get a 20 pack of pens.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

I have to keep walking to the office-supply-room because I lose about 3 gel pens a day.

I was actually eating a McDonalds hamburger (error 404 did not like, I'm a Whopper guy) & drinking a strawberry shake at the time, does that count?

I like their chocolate shake. Vanilla is decent. But they put chunks of what I'm assuming to be strawberries in their strawberry shakes, which I did not like at all :thumbsdown:

I had to get up at 6 am. and didn't eat breakfast

 

[NoCreativity]

Was forced to take an hour of leave because my wife is on a work trip and I have to do both pick-up and drop off duty at daycare.
