- Sorry truman :-( -- nm - MDH Mar 28, 09:27
- That sucks, sorry man -- nm - ty97 Mar 28, 09:26
- :( -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 28, 09:26
- so sorry. that sucks. -- nm - decline Mar 28, 09:25
- damn. tough break. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:25
- man, that sucks. a friend of mine took a break from taking the CPA cause she was tired of retakes. :\ {nm} - Banzai! Mar 28, 09:25
- 2. Frickin'. Points... AUDIT BETTER!!! - Spawn Mar 28, 09:25
- geesh. sorry dude that blows -- nm - Epiphany Mar 28, 09:24
- ahhh crap. Any appeal process? -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:23 1
  - there is, but it costs as much as a retake, and the rate aat which appeals actually work - Truman Mar 28, 09:24
*sigh* - znufrii Mar 28, 09:21 4
- By now he expects/hope for it since youhav ebeen letting them down for a month, now. -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 09:24 3
  - Still not easy - znufrii Mar 28, 09:29 2
    - Should have nipped it in the bud. - Spawn Mar 28, 09:30 1
      - should have -- nm - znufrii Mar 28, 09:33
Criteria for fast food: 1) is there a drivethru. 2) do they have waiters/waitresses? 3) are there menus or is the menu behind the order counter? -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:20 20
- restaurant industry breaks most of this stuff into fast food (a la mcd's etc), casual (sitdowns like chili's) with "fast casual"... - x Mar 28, 09:32
- A menu sub-catagory: If so, are the menus *always* on the table? -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 09:30
- Most people have varying opinions. For me "fast food" means drive through b/c you don't have to wait, and you don't need to leave the car. -- nm - MDH Mar 28, 09:26 1
  - the trouble is, this means nothing in a city. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:30
- We need a Similarity Matrix with McDonalds at the center -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 09:26
- More important than menus: Is your food served with real dishes and utensils? -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:23 7
  - We serve with imagined utensils! -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 09:28
  - *makes this 4)* -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:27
  - steak and shake serves in on dishes, with utensils. -- nm - Truman Mar 28, 09:26 4
    - I know. I'm on the fence now. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:28
    - I think S&S is the only one that violates this rule for me - Strongbad Mar 28, 09:28
    - Your goal is, I think, to eat more healthy. So use your best judgement and if you go to a "borderline" place like SnS order healthy. -- nm - Amy Mar 28, 09:27
    - I know. I'm on the fence now. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:26
- What's wrong with (1) do you get your food fast? -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 09:23 6
  - which then brings up the question, is Swiss Chalet fast food? -- nm - Andie Mar 28, 09:25 5
    - I'd say yes (but I've only been brave enough to eat it once) -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 09:27 2
      - why would you be afraid of delicious rotisserie chicken? -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 09:28 1
        
        Because it's... not good. Once was enough. -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 09:29
    - In the restaurant, no. But they deliver. Is pizza fast food? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 09:26 1
      - Nope. It's not "fast" it needs to be an assembly line essentialy. Quick drive through IMO. -- nm - MDH Mar 28, 09:29
Car. *check* (4:15am pickup, ugh). International service on phone. *check*. Reservation confirmed with hotel. *check* - oblique Mar 28, 09:19 1
- Where are you going? Many international checked bags are free. - ty97 Mar 28, 09:21
The "is it or isn't it Fast Food" thread below has made me very hungry for Red Robin -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 09:18 3
- YUM! -- nm - iNubby 4 Mar 28, 09:22
- I ate there last night! - oblique Mar 28, 09:20 1
  - onion straws for the win :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 09:25
Amy, the Teaching Company and The Learning Company appear to be one and the same. - ceregon Mar 28, 09:15 2
- Most libraries have these. We're looking into going through a re-seller. -- nm - Amy Mar 28, 09:20
- TEACHING AND LEARNING DON'T EVEN LIVE ON THE SAME CONTINENT!!! -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 09:16
Pictures of me were just posted to Facebook - ty97 Mar 28, 09:12 11
- I think it's because I'm old, but I've stopped caring how awful I look in photos. I just think it's funny, now. FFS, my ballet pics are public! -- nm - Amy Mar 28, 09:23
- alright, now we know how to defeat the Kraken when he shows up if Medusa is busy -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:16
- I hate photographs of myself so much. I won't even let my mom post them and not tag them. I always wonder if I'm actually hideous or if - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 28, 09:16 2
  - I had to crop a lot of my cruise photos because daughter asked that her's not be posted. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 28, 09:22
  - I'm contemplating if I was born with a defective face/head and no one ever told me. - ty97 Mar 28, 09:18
- ack. I can't look at them - oblique Mar 28, 09:15
- the best way to deal with this is to announce it on ST. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:14 2
  - of course -- nm - Epiphany Mar 28, 09:18 1
    - this was suppose to be below -- nm - Epiphany Mar 28, 09:19
- *runs to Facebook* -- nm - all of ST, of course Mar 28, 09:14
- Evil! -- nm - Spawn si Mar 28, 09:13
Four AMC Silver Experience movie tickets for $24 (if you live in the following cities) - JaxSean Mar 28, 09:12
So apparently no one sent the IT department the memo. - Dano Mar 28, 09:07 3
- And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, - dano Mar 28, 09:14
- it takes one houer and 45 min to restore you on the system???? - Danedukenuuk Mar 28, 09:09 1
  - Torches and pitchforks! -- nm - iNubby 4 Mar 28, 09:10
Move to Colorado -- goods weighed 575lbs. Estimate to move back to MD --- 1,300lbs. - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:07 12
- Our movers always 'under-estimate.' They never quite realized how many books and records we had :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 28, 09:15
- my move PA --> MD was 3500 pounds (I was allowed 3750) and I moved most of my clothes myself. my move from NH to PA was less than 2400 and I moved - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 28, 09:14 4
  - I went barebones here (bed, chair, tv, clothes, some plates/books/dvds) - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:17 2
    - do you know what your actual weight to move there was? -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 28, 09:18 1
      - It's within 25lbs of 575. I don't know the exact off hand, but it was in that realm. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:26
  - No, only about half a ton :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 28, 09:16
- I picture Will with a couple of those rib racks from the opening credits of the Flintstones all wrapped up and ready to move -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:11
- Start eating now. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 28, 09:09
- That Colorado beef sure must have been tasty. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 09:08 1
  - For the record, when in the years ahead people ask the point I turned heel vs you and Dano; this thread is it. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:09
- How much of that is you? -- nm - Dano Mar 28, 09:07 1
  - That might account for the overage. Thanks Dano for pointing out I'm fat. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:08
MIT chemist creates "artificial leaf" that turns sunlight into electricty -- (link) - Beaker Mar 28, 09:02
is Steak and Shake fast food? - Truman Mar 28, 09:01 38
- Wikipedia says no - con_carne Mar 28, 09:18 4
  - (But S and S is on the United States list if you scroll down. *shrug*) -- nm - con_carne Mar 28, 09:24
  - Oddly, Chipotle is on both Fast Food and Casual Dining. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 28, 09:24
  - Steak n Shake clearly does not belong in the same category as Applebees, CPK, Cheesecake Factory, Chili's, Outback, etc. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 28, 09:20 1
    - That list is crap. Zaxby's is clearly fast food, even though they claim not to be. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 28, 09:22
- You have a waiter. No -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 09:11 4
  - (this could also be the Quick Test :) ) -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:13
  - see, this was my thought as well. -- nm - Truman Mar 28, 09:13 2
    - I think you have to go inside to eat though. If you get the food through the drive through it is fast food -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 09:15 1
      - *nods* -- nm - Truman Mar 28, 09:17
- Quick Test: if it has a drivethrough it is fast food. -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:10 11
  - Not every community is so automobile-bound (see NYC). Plenty of fast food restaurants do not have drive-throughs. -- nm - con_carne Mar 28, 09:25
  - [deleted]
  - but Five Guys doesn't have one. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:11 4
    - Stand aside, Venn. -- nm - DeMorgan Mar 28, 09:13
    - Did someone call my name? -- nm - Venn Diagram Man Mar 28, 09:12 1
      - Thank god you're here! -- nm - prayformojo Mar 28, 09:14
    - *paging Venn diagram man* -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 09:12
  - Panera Bread has a drive through...would you call that fast food too then? -- nm - Jim Mar 28, 09:11 3
    - I said quick test, not definitive -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:12
    - not where I live. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:11 1
      - *shrugs* Pretty much all of our Bread Cos have them. -- nm - Jim Mar 28, 09:28
- You can go through a drive-through and get it quick, so I say yes. - Kim Pine Mar 28, 09:09 4
  - I'd love to know what Steak n Shake you go to. I don't get anything quick at their drive thrus here. -- nm - Jim Mar 28, 09:11 3
    - The one in Knoxville! (And it's usually 3-5 minutes or less.) -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 28, 09:19 1
      - unheard of. - Spawn Mar 28, 09:23
    - *ding* -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 09:11
- Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 28, 09:07
- definitely. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:06
- Yes. It's in the Five Guys realm: It's cooked to order so it's not really "fast," but it's "fast food." -- nm - JaxSean Mar 28, 09:05 7
  - hmm, i guess i should have been more carefully / something when i did my lent thing - Truman Mar 28, 09:08 4
    - it's supposed to hurt, baby. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:11 2
      - i know. there isnt anything else close to this office to eat at then - Truman Mar 28, 09:16 1
        
        I brown bag every day! -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:17
    - *thumbs up* -- nm - Buddy Jesus Eating At Five Guys Mar 28, 09:10
  - according to wiki, fast food is food "that can be prepared and served very quickly." -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:06 1
    - Yeah, the quick test for me is "can you get your entire order within 10 minutes?" -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 09:15
- Pizza ain't -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 28, 09:02

  - De Valera was one of the founders of the IRA -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 28, 08:59 2

  - In my riding, Ignatieff's words about a vote for the NDP or the Greens is a vote for the Conservatives is very much true. - Beryllium Mar 28, 09:01 2
