It’s a scene from the movie The Killer. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1136617/?ref_=nm_flmg_c_3_act

IIRC he even states a specific reason why he’s going with McDonald’s that has to do with known price and consistency.

It was pointed out to me once that the engine room scenes were filmed in a brewery and now I can’t unsee it.

Corrections falls under the sheriff’s department.

Cauliflower is great. It has a very mild flavor which compliments cheeses wonderfully.

I worked at a grocery store in 2003 in California for a short time. I joined just after a major strike had ended. As always, the company was pushing for lower wages and benefits, the union wanted higher. They came to an agreement with a two tiered system, tenured employees got to stick with a pay scale and benefits slightly better than what they’d had before.

New employees got fucked.

A couple months in I was promoted to cashier from bagger and got to see the two tiers. I was starting at $18 per hour, the original tier started at more than double that and went up pretty high.

Not really related to your comment, but I’m a little drunk after a rough day and seeing those amounts just really fucking pisses me off. My numbers are not adjusted for inflation and wages have gone down for the job I did in the last 20 years. It’s fucking maddening.

First time I’ve seen something from my home area pop up on Lemmy. CCB is a solid brewery.

There was a Thai place I used to go to a lot. Hours were inconsistent and they would close for months at a time when the brothers who owned it would go back to Thailand from time to time. Best Thai food I’ve ever had. More impressive though was their customer service. Super friendly and they remembered everyone’s names.

You could go there for the first time, not go again for months, and the next time you showed up they’d greet you by name and remember what it was you had ordered last time.

This nearly gave me an aneurysm.

Comrades.

Even some not so old. JAG is a show I loved as a kid. I tried to watch it again a couple of years ago and was shocked at how much misogyny was portrayed in it.

The first trillionaire ain’t gonna make themself.

Ah shit, serves me right for posting off the cuff…

Though that is also a thing.

I had a math teacher in college who, on the first day of class, told an anecdote about her first boss. This boss told her on her first day that “sick of work” was a perfectly valid reason for calling in sick. That’s something that has stuck with me and I share that sentiment with new reports.

IIRC that was on the set of one of the Hobbit movies.

The Lord of the Rings was shot mostly using practical effects.

I started off really enjoying the series, but eventually had to abandon it as he kept adding increasingly over the strawmen who’s sole purpose was to be blown away by the might of Randian Objectivism.

Absolutely. Anansi boys is my personal favorite of his, but I think highly of all his books.

GameStop bought them a couple of years ago. That was the deathknell.
