In-n-Out fries are basically those potato sticks you can get in a can. Absolute trash. Probably the worst fries I've ever had at a fast food place.
I’m not here to defend those fries, they’re straight garbage. Our SOP in college was pick up the double doubles first and then McDonalds on the way home for fries.
Don't In and Out make their own fries from scratch ? They have the massive potato presses there.
Yep, press and straight into fryer to be overcooked and then removed to be under salted. Once in a while you find one that is perfectly fried and salted and it is fantastic, but mostly it’s crunchy, dry, cardboard.
I've never minded them. They're obviously a distant sideshow to the burgers.
It’s really just the story I tell myself to justify “trading in the fries for a second double double” as an equal caloric trade.
They apparently only fry them once, which is the issue. For restaurant quality fries, you always cook them twice (blanche them or fry once at a lower temp and once at a higher temp). They could even freeze the parcooked fries and finish them in the fryer at the high temp, but I guess they want the "fresh" potato fries.
Incredible reporting…
I doubt whether they would have done it with a US-style democracy so it does raise questions at least.

Patagonia: Billionaire boss of fashion retailer gives company away
last few weeks, a lot of stories about building sympathy for the killer over the govt's ties with that shady cult church. this poll reinforces those stories.
very interesting reaction to an assassination of a multiple-term PM. can't imagine it would be like this elsewhere - big rally around the flag moment...
this is worse than minority report or any of those police dystopias
like really bad.
like really bad.
What could go wrong here?
Feck, that's horrible. Just random from what authorities are suspecting. Who targets a sleeping family in a vehicle? There's got to be more to this. No one was killed.

I went through something similar as an adjunct professor at a culinary school...
"are injured piglets killed?" "objection" sustained"
"you say animals have value. do piglets in a dumpster have value?" "objection" "sustained"
meat-eaters must be the biggest fecking snowflakes on the planet because they cannot even be told, let alone shown, what happens with their food.
again, insane level of objections from the prosecutor (all sustained)

Bill Maher brought this up on last night's show, and both he and the panel (Chris Christie, Katty Kay) mentioned it's the parents forcing these things because of the cost of education and the everyone gets a participation trophy society. The professor defended himself saying that after these kids returned to post-COVID campus they're study skills had gone to shit and they refused to adapt.

Hope that few minutes rage was worth spending a few years in prison. The kids survived.

Unfortunately they bonded out.
These dudes must have been engaging and/or dealing with the wrong types. Getting Ozark vibes from this though not necessarily drugs.

Dismembered bodies pulled from Oklahoma river identified as 4 missing men, police chief says
The investigation into four men who vanished after leaving an Okmulgee, Oklahoma, home on bicycles last week is now a murder investigation, the local police chief said, after four dismembered bodies pulled from a river were positively identified as the missing men.
“Although the official cause and manner of death is still pending, each victim suffered gunshot wounds,” Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice said in a news conference Monday. “All four bodies were dismembered before being placed in the river and that is what caused difficulty in determining identities and that’s why it took so long.”
Investigators now believe the four men planned to “commit some type of criminal act,” Prentice said in Monday’s news conference, citing a witness who told investigators they had been invited to join and to “hit a lick big enough for all of them.”
“That is common terminology for engaging in some type of criminal behavior, but we do not know what they were planning or where they planned to do it,” Prentice said.

As someone who survived a suicide attempt, I am appalled at the school’s stance regarding suicidal students. So much wrong is being done there…
Dunno about this, seems a likely disaster at some point.
A 60,000 person city is under consideration to be opened in the middle of the sea
The future is here, and it looks like a multi-billion pound turtle.
Italian design studio Lazzarini has proposed plans for a floating, turtle-shaped city that could accommodate up to 60,000 guests and will feature shopping centres, hotels, parks and a plane runway - all of which will be run on solar power.
The floating city, which is named Pangeos and dubbed a ‘terayacht’, would take eight years to build and cost an eye-watering £6.8 billion.

Turkey launched deadly airstrikes over northern regions of Syria and Iraq, the Turkish defence ministry said on Sunday, targeting Kurdish groups that Ankara holds responsible for last week’s bomb attack in Istanbul.
Warplanes attacked bases belonging to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ party (PKK), and the Syrian People’s Protection Units, or YPG, the ministry said in a statement, which was accompanied by images of F-16 jets taking off and footage of a strike from an aerial drone.
