They’ve cut corners somewhere this century and the meat turned to cardboard. Their burgers were tastier when I was a smoker.

My wife fries them in a cast iron pan with a little oil.
Wife doesn’t like burgers, had never been to Steak n Shake. (Must be a Filipino thing because she cant’ cook 'em either.)
First bite, “This is the burger I have been looking for!” She loved the seasoning so much she bought 2 bottles, $5 each.
Forget what we paid, but it was on par with McDonalds, including the $5 tip. The restaurant itself and waitress kinda sucked, “Do you have coffee?” “We’re out.” So make some? This is a restaurant. Something else basic was out, I forget. But the point stands, a proper sit-down meal was the same cost as McDonalds, except delicious.
And don’t start me on local Mexican dives and trucks. I can get 3 deluxe street tacos for $10, less than some of the gross combos at McDonalds. And that place is a little high!

3·1 month agoYou get to keep anything mailed to you, in America at least. A century ago, scammers would mail goods and then invoice the target. Congress said fuck all that noise, if a business ships you a thing, it’s yours, no questions asked.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Whatever happened to the days when shit just...worked?English
232·1 month agoIn the 90s and early 2000s I had to reboot my PC multiple times a day and reinstall the OS at least once a month. I remember freaking out when Windows 2000 went 30 days without a reboot. Computer’s been a bit slow and wonky lately. Realized I had no idea how long it’s been up, rebooted, fixed. No idea when I last rebooted my network stack.
Dead and dying hard drives were a constant hassle. My SSD has been through three PCs, without even reinstalling Windows. I just moved it, and it just worked. No idea how long I’ve been on this install, 8 years at least. I’ve got external USB drives in a faux-RAID array that have been cooking for 5 years, no problem. Everything burned electricity, got stupid hot, burned everything else out.
I was one of the original installers of cable internet. Couple of years later found me doing tech support. People were mystified at the concept of a website being down, yet their internet worked. Sites went down daily, even major ones.
We were constantly bombarded with viruses and malware. It was a nonstop fight to keep your machine clean. Now, I’ve only installed AV on company computers as a CYA thing since Windows Defender works great. (Also, as another security layer.)
I can pick up my phone and call anywhere in the US, free. Ever heard the words interlec or intralec? You needed a math degree to calculate long distance charges, so you’d just dial and pray it wasn’t too bad. And pray the call went through. “We got a bad line! Call me back!”
A car with 100,000 miles was considered garbage. Power train warranties were 36K and that was astounding. Now they’re 100K and more. My wife’s car is a 2014 and my truck is a 2004. No one had 10-20 year old vehicles unless they were collectors or gear heads.
Shall I go on? :)

1·2 months agoSame! I also reuse bread bags and the like. Plastic grocery bags work for most things.
No idea when I last bought kitchen bags, but it’s been at least a decade.

2·2 months agoVerizon was always the best for me. Moved to T-Mobile because Verizon wouldn’t activate my funky new phone. Promptly lost the phone and wish I had never changed. T-Mobile isn’t awful, but they are compared to Verizon.
This is basically Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Oog.

Yeah, weird in-between dining model. Still beats McDonald’s inside where they have purposefully run off dining customers in favor of drive thru.
Still, way better food, brought to you and cleaned up, same price.
