People here are complaining about another device to carry around, android phones not having enough storage, streaming being better etc.

There are programs and apps to stream your own. I have a nas (network attached storage) where I keep my music. It came with a music player and a mobile app out of the box that can stream and cast my collection. Plex can also do it quite easily. I’m sure there are others too.

Charcoal bbq is incredible. It gives the food so much flavour. If I wanted to cook with gas I’d just use my stove.

People seem worried that this will be applied to everyone. In reality what’s going to happen is websites will just block Utah.

This has been proven with the age requirements in quite a few places.

I didn’t say that though did I? I said all religions are cults.

They all are though tbf

I live in Australia where this has already been rolled out. I used a sample licence they said “Sam s sample” and had a picture of Mr bean. It worked first try.

Growing up in Oklahoma there were two dishes that confused me as a child.

Cranberry salad was a bowl of strawberry jello with cranberries and pecans with a layer of cool whip on top.

There was also always sweet potato casserole which was a tray of thick slices of sweet potato covered in maple syrup, sprinkled with brown sugar, and marshmallows placed on top before baking the entire thing.

And yes both were served with the savoury food, and yes there was always 10 different pies, ice cream, an assortment of cookies, and homemade caramels for dessert afterwards.

Looking back, it explains why every single male in the family was overweight.

I defaulted on a loan and my credit score dropped down to 500. Still being chased by the debt collectors a year later and it’s gone back up to 700 by itself. I have no credit cards or anything. The whole thing is a joke.

Wow a white South African in another country being racist, who could have seen that coming?

Iirc it was printed as a guide with maps and stars marking the restaurants locations and given out with the tyres for free. I guess people back then had nothing better to do than road trip to restaurants. It was popular enough restaurants wanted to be in it which caused them to up their game so the reviewers would add them to the guide and it escalated to where it is now.

I was in hospitality for 15 years until I injured my back and had to leave the industry. I never sat at people’s tables when taking orders, but do you have any idea what it’s like to stand 10 hours a day, most days with no break at all? The amount of foot pain? And you get told off if you sit down even when there’s no customers. Sometimes customers would rock up and get upset that I was sitting on a stool when it had been like 3 hours since the last customers had been through and I was doing stock take at the till. Like what the fuck. I’m not your servant, you’re not paying nearly enough for that. Get off your high horse and get over yourself.

I now have life long back pain and nerve damage after spinal surgery at 30 because of the stress hospitality put my body through and people like you were part of the reason. Don’t go out if you don’t want to talk to people.

I was a bar manager and used to get a flood of applicants every time I needed to hire people. I wasn’t particularly picky since I was always happy to train people up to my standards since I usually had to untrain bad habits anyways, so I would only schedule one interview at a time and generally just hired the first person I interviewed to save myself the work unless their vibes were off.

The one time I interviewed someone where I thought “damn he’s hot asf”, seemed nice, could answer my questions and he was experienced in the role, so I hired him on the spot. I have never had to fire someone so fast. Dude lost his shit at another bartender for bumping into him, I gave him a warning and told him it would be his only one. Shit happens, it’s a tight space.

Then a customer that was smoking in the alley after we shut asked him a question as we were leaving and he said “why the fuck are you talking to me”. Had to tell him not to bother coming in for his next shift…

Not a plastic swizzle stick, a bar spoon. They are stainless steel and have various ends. This is the teardrop, makes stirring ice easier. There’s also a coin (flat disc on the end that op was talking about), that is used for muddling and can also be used to stir ice, and the trident used to get garnishes out of jars like cherries and olives.

It was a big and very busy pub so we had both glassy and bar back. Usually that’s the same person but we needed multiple people just constantly clearing the floor and washing glassware, and a couple people restocking the bar and changing kegs.

I used to manage a pub, and I hired an 18 year old chavy kid as a glassy and this is how he talked to me. Ngl, it felt pretty cool. I liked talking to him.

Shit ad, 0/10.

I bought a Chromebook for uni (the only thing cheap enough I could afford) and it was so bad I ended up installing Linux and libre office. Years later I got a pixel 2 and it came with a free Google assistant.

Pixel 2 was a great phone until one day it just never turned back on. I looked at getting the 4 and the hardware was all direct downgrades from the 2, including outdated processors from the generation before the 2 was released??

The Google assistant was the most useless piece of shit I’ve ever used. Never bought another Google product again.

I wasn’t able to get anything Google to work with Sonos. I originally had Spotify but cancelled when I couldn’t afford a bunch of subscriptions, and switched to my local stores music - which Google also refused to cast easily.

When they removed the ability to listen to my local music library from the app I started looking for alternatives. Seemingly perfectly timed for the app to shit itself.

I found BubbleUPnP. It can cast to all of my Sonos and my Google assistant speaker with zero issues and can play from Plex, my phone’s local library, and my NAS. Highly recommend. Three free version is usable but paid is only $7 and I no longer need the Sonos app.

This checks out, mum gave me a set of splayds when I moved out of home and we’re Australian. I love them but my fiance refuses to use them.
