Top 10 fast food chains in customer satisfaction. -- (link) - Don Homer Jan 28, 11:31 15
- #1 only has a 60% satisfaction rating? That kinda sucks. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 11:37 1
  - 60% rated it "excellent" -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 11:39
- exactly 0 of those here. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 11:37
- I'd sure agree on Giordanos, Chick-Fil-A, Panera and Qdoba. - Callisto Jan 28, 11:36
- 4 here, and they all suck. -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 11:35
- wow... the customer service at Chipotles here is terrible -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:34 2
  - *snork* They don't even know what goes on a quesadilla! -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 11:34 1
    - haha. its more of a general consensus. i still eat there, but the service is shite -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:37
- I have a Chick-Fil-A salad in the fridge for dinner. yummy. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 11:32
- [deleted] 5
  - Looks like we have 4 here, though 26 miles for Pei Wei (whatever that is) is a stretch to include. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 11:37
  - I've had In-N-Out, Chipotle. I think I saw a Qdoba around. - psilotum Jan 28, 11:37
  - Toronto has just 1. And I have tried 0. -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 11:34
  - 3. When I think about all the awesome fast food places we could have, and don't... -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 11:34
  - Just 5 here. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 11:33
TTIF: How do you type the custom number format in Excel that will display a number in millions? -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 11:31 2
- you mean in a chart? or on a worksheet? -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 11:35
- (TT is slow as balls, *S*TIF.) -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 11:32
huh....Erin Esurance is a Star Trek fan.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 28, 11:30
Qwest DSL speeds around here are 1.5, 7, 12 and 20Mbps. That's competitve with Comcast, for less. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 11:28 8
- I have the 7 which is actually 5.8 for me mostly -- nm - eag Jan 28, 11:30 1
  - If I could get 5.8 consistently, I'd be happy. Comcast can do 15-16Mbps, but it's not stable. I can never download faster than 300-400kbps. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 11:32
- How much do they charge for 20? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 11:30 5
  - Your first born. Also, $70 without phone service, $65 with phone, $60 with bundle. Lifetime price. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 11:31 4
    - "Lifetime Price" seems like marketing garbage to me, since the price of data access is steadily decreasing. -- nm - psilotum Jan 28, 11:39
    - I have Verizon fios 20 mbps (5 mbps upload) for $55 (though I think we may finally ditch our landline soon which would raise it to $60). -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 11:32 2
      - I *so* badly want Fios. Best part about it: their TV system uses cablecards. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 11:33 1
        
        I don't get their tv service; still have DirecTV which I'm mostly happy with. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 11:34
Go Gary Go! - Will Hunting Jan 28, 11:25 10
- [deleted] 8
  - it's ok. Better than the last one which was really lackluster. Look forward to Brad Thor's new one. -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 11:30
  - I read it....it's mediocre. This one suffers from Red Rabbit syndrome - Will Hunting Jan 28, 11:29 6
    - [deleted] 5
      - Quick summary to save you the grief. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 11:33 1
        
        HA! Yeah it his take....spoils... - Remlik Jan 28, 11:36
      - It's worth a check out from the library. -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 11:32 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        yeah they are fun. Loved "Map of Bones" going to get Last Oracle....and I think Brad Thor tied his novels into Rollins stuff. -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 11:35
- Yikes. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 11:27
Higher asthma rates linked to fast food...... - Walt_Disney Jan 28, 11:21 12
- nobody needs to worry about sodium except people who are genetically predisposed to high blood pressure? - the year of the ox loves mandy lane Jan 28, 11:30
- Fat ass = asthma. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 11:23 1
  - thats not true -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:28
- My only major asthma attack was related to feathers, so it might just have been a symptom of an allergy, and not actual asthma -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:22 7
  - there are different types of asthma - one triggered by allergies and the other by physical activity. (i have both) -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:27 5
    - I think I almost have both, but I never push myself hard enough to come close to triggering the 2nd one. - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:33 1
      - what do you run on? - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:36
    - I saw this thing on tv once, where people got in a big inflatable bubble and were bouncing down hills in it. Looked kind of mad. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 11:28 2
      - ? -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:30 1
        
        You know, things you could try for the laugh and you wouldn't have to worry about getting an asthma attack. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 11:33
  - Thats what mine is....only deloped a few years ago....its been very good the last few months. - Walt_Disney Jan 28, 11:26
- heh heh heh. -- nm - kelly Jan 28, 11:22
Law folks: it's usually illegal to audiorecord conversations from third parties, so if Blagojevich hasn't been convicted, how is it not illegal - Max Jan 28, 11:18 6
- [deleted] 2
  - Dude...why no hump day stuff? You're killing me, Smalls. -- nm - Jim Jan 28, 11:23 1
    - [deleted]
- since 9-11 the FBI gets to listen to anybody they want -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 28, 11:20
- from years of watching L&O, I don't think discovery starts until a grand jury delivers an indictment. - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:20
- they had a warrent -- nm - Redmond Jan 28, 11:19
MYC-Doctor called, after two and a half vials of blood the took from me they found nothing. Waiting to get results back from the "other" results. - lileve Jan 28, 11:15
Strongbad's latest work dilemma: Find the $3 million that has disappeared! - Strongbad Jan 28, 11:14 8
- *whistles innocently -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 28, 11:23
- Dont' bother, just ask for $3 million more in the stimulus bill! :) -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:15 6
  - Don't forget to turn your company into a bank, first. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 11:21 2
    - no, that was for the bailout bill. this is different. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:23 1
      - More bailout to come! Obama will fix it! -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 11:23
  - The funny part about this - Strongbad Jan 28, 11:16 2
    - [deleted]
    - brilliant. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:17
Appropriate for Hump Day: Sega gives us... The LoveTrainer. -- (link) - Mop Jan 28, 11:14
style question: If I say "prepaid cards", what kind of cards do I mean? -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 11:12 15
- phone cards -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 11:21
- Uusually I know that as pre-paid phone cards. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 28, 11:20
- phone card. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:19 1
  - I meant phone cards, but I guess it's ambiguous. thanks again, all. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 11:22
- I think "prepaid phone/calling card" that you can get at gas stations and such. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 28, 11:18
- a prepaid credit card, gift card, or phone card. It's somewhat vague. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:17
- ok, thanks all. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 11:17
- Cards that don't have a credit line associated with it. Maximum amount that you can charge to it that's been paid for in advance. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 11:15
- Those gift cards from Target and such -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 11:15
- Could be a Visa debit card, or a card for a specific business. -- nm - psilotum Jan 28, 11:14
- Phone calling cards. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 11:14
- phone cards are first to come to mind, followed by those 'debit cards' for tweens -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:13
- (in other words, I want to know how you interpret it) -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 11:12 2
  - Long distance phone service. -- nm - Admiral Vermin Jan 28, 11:14
  - gift cards -- nm - Redmond Jan 28, 11:14
nmb Kelly - Callisto Jan 28, 11:11 2
- Great, thanks! -- nm - kelly Jan 28, 11:22
- frig...caught. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 28, 11:16
Will, I'm dropping Comcast for Internet access just as soon as my promotional price ends. - Mop Jan 28, 11:06 9
- AT&T was digging up our subdivision a few weeks back. I think they're going to offer Cable and Internet. - JaxSean Jan 28, 11:11 2
  - It's on the way. My father works for their cable group in Central FL. - Strongbad Jan 28, 11:13 1
    - danke -- nm - JaxSean Jan 28, 11:17
- I just realized that they have me on the promotional service and throttled my feed down to 1mb -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 28, 11:11
- I've realized I'm quite content on my 3Mbps naked DSL from AT&T for $30/mo. No promo rates, cheap, easy and I really don't need the extra bandwidth -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 11:09 4
  - Qwest, in my neck of the woods, offers cheap ($19.99), super-fast, and "lifetime pricing". F*@& you, Comcast. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 11:15 3
    - On their website those prices seem to be only if you get phone service with them -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 11:22
    - I don't like waiting for the porn. Too slow -- nm - Redmond Jan 28, 11:19 1
      - I think the middle tier at Qwest is 12Mbps. Top tier is 16Mbps. And it's DSL, so it's dedicated, that speed, all the time. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 11:20
Hey Remlik - James Dalton Jan 28, 11:06 1
- next month I think. -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 11:25
I have seen the show, but the FotC parody of the Pet Shop Boys is hysterical. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 11:05 2
- These kind of parodies are their strongest suit. Their Bowie parody kills. -- nm - rollo Jan 28, 11:14
- haven't. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 11:06
TWuG, I wasn't saying the courts decision was horrible, as I was commenting on the schools decision to expel them in the first place. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:05
Jensen Ackles doing Eye of the Tiger is hysterical. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 11:03 1
- It is isn't it ---- I now see this in my head every time we play it on RB2 - Epiphany Jan 28, 11:19
In other legislative news, the House passed S. 181 - znufrii Jan 28, 11:03 19
- I need a NYT article to explain the significance of this. -- nm - Admiral Vermin Jan 28, 11:08 5
  - I'll just link to the bill itself. All the info you need is in the first couple paragraphs -- (link) - znufrii Jan 28, 11:10
  - [deleted] 3
    - haha... you should start a blog summarizing all SCOTUS decisions in lolspeak -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:33 1
      - *twitch* -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:35
    - [deleted]
- Good. Probably not retroactive to the case that spurred it, but at least nullifies the SC precedent that resulted -- nm - TWuG Jan 28, 11:05 11
  - [deleted]
  - [deleted] 6
    - [deleted] 4
      - Mocking you doesn't mean I care much about the law either way. - Vermin, "all pissy" Jan 28, 11:32
      - more of a repudiation than a defeat. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:26
      - Conservative SC? -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 11:26 1
        
        [deleted]
    - Usually. -- nm - TWuG Jan 28, 11:09
  - precisely. - znufrii Jan 28, 11:06 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - yup. just couldn't remember the pricipals offhand. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:24
- sounds like someone is polishing their Banhammer for discrimination hearings -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:04
[deleted] 17
- Loosi's elbows probably got him hot and bothered -- nm - Redmond Jan 28, 11:09 1
  - "I've heard her right heel is much admired by conisseuers." -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:25
- Initiate blagojevich evasive action! -- nm - Max Jan 28, 11:09 1
  - "Next week, on The View..." -- nm - Admiral Vermin Jan 28, 11:11
- Jeez. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 11:07
- they should return the guy to face charges over there -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 28, 11:07 4
  - They pick the oddest crimes to be harsh about in that area. This might not be one of them. - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:08 3
    - that's true, besides they require 4 witnesses, if not then there was no rape, she's a harlot STONE HER -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 28, 11:13
    - they will probably convict the woman -- nm - Redmond Jan 28, 11:12 1
      - Algeria isn't necessarily like Saudi Arabia, though. I'm really curious what they would od. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 11:13
- oh my. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 11:05
- its obamas fault. he didn't define torture -- nm - Redmond Jan 28, 11:05
- I hope this isn't part of loosilu's report -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 11:04
- as bad as it sounds...at least he is a convert. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 11:04 2
  - That is an interesting twist. I wonder how much analysis that factor will get. - Admiral Vermin Jan 28, 11:16 1
    - not much at all I am sure. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 11:17
- I don't what saddens me more: This news, or my lack of shock to this news. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 11:03
LYC: My CC premium membership is up. Need to decide if I'll keep it -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 11:02 10
- speaking of which: 4121446 & 4121463 & 4121469 -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:12
- My Flickr Pro ended earlier this month. Thankfully, it didn't auto-renew. - JaxSean Jan 28, 11:05 2
  - I have to re-up my FlickrPro in the next few days -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:07 1
    - Did this whole pro account business start before or after the yahoo buyout? -- nm - lileve Jan 28, 11:23
- See how long you can stand playing only 4 games at a time. - psilotum Jan 28, 11:02 5
  - i only renewed mine because i wanted to start working on maps - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 11:14 1
    - You're welcome. I'd like to make a map, too. Seems like quite a long process, though. -- nm - psilotum Jan 28, 11:34
  - Which makes me wonder why they don't offer a discount for extending your subscription before the end of your term. -- nm - psilotum Jan 28, 11:03
  - I'm only playing 2 now because I'm slacking -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 11:03 1
    - I have 36 active. I'm trying to end as many as possible before my 4-day trip this weekend. -- nm - psilotum Jan 28, 11:08
do you use a free program to edit pdfs? - prayformojo Jan 28, 11:01 8
- I just use word/excel/whatever and print to PDF using CutePDF printer. -- nm - Subversive Jan 28, 11:36
- I don't, but I do really like Nitro PDF. It's *so* much better than Adobe. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 11:15
- Leo recommends Foxit. It's not free, but it looks like there may be a free trial. -- (link) - psilotum Jan 28, 11:06 2
  - The free version doesn't let you save it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 28, 11:09
  - well, the full Acrobat probably has a free trial too ... heheh -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:07
- No, but I do use a free program to create PDFs. (OpenOffice). They're just not editable. - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:03
- I can't recall the last time I needed to edit a PDF. Usually I'm creating PDFs from other docs so I edit there and "reprint" to PDF -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 11:02
- It's a trap! - Admiral Vermin Jan 28, 11:02
Yeah, your brother's been tonguing the blarney stone there, loyola -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:00 1
- :) -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 11:04
Seriously, I get so much more work done at home because I feel guilty about being at home - oblique Jan 28, 11:00
*expells all lesbians from B2* -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 10:59 6
- Unfriends you cause you are a lesbian or so I think -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 28, 11:05
- only the ones with the stap on staps showing. Jack Dawson STRAPS STRAPS!! -- nm - Redmond Jan 28, 11:03
- Our unemployment rate just dropped. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 11:01
- [deleted]
- but who's gonna mow the lawn now? -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 11:00 1
