Note to Southwest Airlines: $514 RT from BWI to Vegas is not a Nationwide Sale. It's $200+ more than every other airline charges. -- nm - MDH Aug 21, 14:43 1

- "Unsold fruits and vegetables in grocery stores are a large part of the problem." see??? -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 14:26 17
  - Have we discussed here why this food isn't shipped directly to homeless shelters? or food banks? or what? - Dr.Vermin Aug 21, 14:36 16
    - I go to my local Grocery store Saturday morning and everytime I am there - amoxy Aug 21, 14:53

    - we did this morning. the conclusions were quite the opposite of this. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 14:39 4
      - I think it will vary by location (obvie) we have a HUGE distribution of food that comes from restaurants/grocers/etc. that gets to the needy - but the - JenBro Aug 21, 14:45
      - Indeed, we started off with your point that matches what vermin posted (or the fear thereof), and then people researched it and found examples to the - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:41 2
        
        this is the problem, it was anecdotal. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 14:43
        
        er, znufrii, not vermin. sorry. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:41
    - damn those anti-homeless lobbyists! ;-) - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:37 8
      - but, they don't say how much they toss. did you notice? -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 14:40 2
        
        That's a good point. My stance was that the pressure to run lean would prevent a lot of waste, but ... - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:42 1
        
        I get that there is pressure, and that they have software, but this other article says produce gets wasted. - loosilu Aug 21, 14:44
      - IM: ah, good for them. Whatever that is. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 21, 14:38 4
        
        ... and in the same conversation I pointed out how Walmart has data farms dedicated to predictive demand analysis to avoid waste -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:39 3
        
        and in this article, it says Walmart has a terrible record when it comes to throwing away edible food. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 21, 14:50 2
        
        our local Walmart gives a huge amount to our local food bank -- nm - JenBro Aug 21, 14:56

- Mop - is this the Keg place you mentioned? -- (link) - JenBro Aug 21, 14:24 20
  - they really are everywhere, there's one in tacoma -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 21, 14:34
  - Yeah. I'm sure they could throw a rock and find any number of places. Every store front in Old Montreal is a restaurant. But I love the Keg. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 14:32 1
    - I'm not trying to knock it, just the authenticity ... is a bit overshadowed by what might be nearby. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:35
  - yes. Not sure what US chain it most closely compares to, though ... - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:26 16
    - It's about a step above the family chains like Outback and Chili's but a step below Ruth's Chris -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 14:32 3
      - I drove past Ruth's Chris, but the name was too stupid for me to stop -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:34 2
        
        chris refers to the grill marks, a good grill master doesn't keep messing with it, so the juices don't dissipate -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 21, 14:37 1
        
        That's not conveyed by the signage. :) - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:38
    - Morton's? -- nm - spamlet Aug 21, 14:29
    - they're looking for a nice dinner place in Old Montreal -- nm - JenBro Aug 21, 14:27 10
      - Yelp.ca probably has some good recommendations -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 14:35 8
        
        ok - L'Express that Deevs said was her fav is in Old Montreal too - so I emailed him links to both that and the Keg one - they can pick :) -- nm - JenBro Aug 21, 14:41 7
        
        L'Express isn't in old Montreal, it's on the Plateau. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 14:42 6
        
        ooops ... is it very far away? -- nm - JenBro Aug 21, 14:47 5
        
        It's about 15 minutes from his hotel, but quite a bit longer from Old Montreal. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 14:49 4
        
        15 minutes walking distance, I mean. He can get there by subway by getting out at Sherbrooke station and walking north a couple of blocks. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 14:50 3
        
        Thanks!!! -- nm - JenBro Aug 21, 14:58

        and thanks again :) -- nm - JenBro Aug 21, 14:58
      - They can definitely do better than a chain in Montreal. It has fantastic food. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 14:32
Has anyone else noticed their grocery flyers getting a lot thinner lately? - MojaveMeg Aug 21, 14:12 5

Romney calls for Akin to quit his Senate Race -- (link) - amoxy Aug 21, 13:53 27
- isn't the deadline 5pm EDT? -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 14:01 24
  - He actually has until September 25 to ask for a court order to be removed from the ballot if he agrees to pay the cost of printing new ballots. -- nm - mara Aug 21, 14:07 20
    - which is exactly what the GOP is trying to avoid, having to hash all this out again in court down the road. -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 14:09 2
      - Pretty sure Akin doesn't really care if the GOP is trying to avoid that. -- nm - mara Aug 21, 14:11 1
        
        of course not, he isn't going anywhere. -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 14:12
    - thanks. I don't see how he can avoid dropping out at this point. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 14:08 16
      - here -- (link) - spamlet Aug 21, 14:15 [Backboard] 1
        
        I keep making the mistake of thinking he's reasonable. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 14:17
      - yeah, that's the thing about conviction, though... - znufrii Aug 21, 14:10
      - Depends on the polls, maybe. We are talking about Missouri, after all. -- nm - mara Aug 21, 14:09 12
        
        Even at this point, I think he still has a 50/50 chance of winning - amoxy Aug 21, 14:14 10
        
        That's what I'm thinking, and it may easily improve as people get over this. -- nm - mara Aug 21, 14:15 9
        
        I made the comment to my wife that my Republican Missourian in-laws would still vote for him. She thinks not, but I don't buy it. They're actually - pmb Aug 21, 14:31 2
        
        You wonder where their line is. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 14:33 1
        
        This is what I keep saying. - pmb Aug 21, 14:37
        
        If that is the case, I wonder if the Republicans will go back and endorse him -- nm - amoxy Aug 21, 14:23 5
