Funny you say that because there IS one Chick-Fil-A location I know of that seems to be taking that exact route.

A few weeks ago they started doing indoor and outdoor repairs to this specific location and it turns out all they did was make the inside pick-up section smaller with a more open kitchen while making a THIRD drive-thru lane. I went inside there once to do an Uber Eats pickup and apparently the two women behind the counter told me that Uber Eats now has their own drive-thru lane for pickups. Keep in mind that in every other fast food place it's verboten to even use the drive-thru for that sort of thing, so idk why they decided to do it for this Chick-Fil-A in particular. All I know is that the way the two women were describing it to me was like they were pissed off I even came inside in the first place, specifically the tone they used when one of them said "we'll give you the order here inside THIS time, but now you can use the drive-thru". Like bitch why the fuck does it matter? I'm already here, just give me the fucking order.
I got a restaurant in my area, (not gonna say the name for op-sec. It’s regional) that switched to machines for ordering inside. So you go in, click on the food you want, wait for it to come out, and then sit down all lonely in a booth. That little interaction with a cashier may not seem like a lot but it adds a little to the experience. So fucking soulless.
Hire children to clean them as they will be able to fit. The children yearn for the mines.
Unironically I could see kids enjoying this as it’s like extra playtime.
 
It really is just they have good food, their employees seem disciplined, and they actually manage to do the FAST part of fast food, which almost seems impossible in the current day with the quality of hires in other companies like Mcdonalds and KFC.
I'd chalk that up to them being the only big chain that isn't publicly traded and not needing to debt max to expand. Means you don't have to obey both main sources of quality cutting in shareholders and the demands of the investment and banking firms.
 
Insurance is the one demanding everybody take the playscapes out, with policies doubling or even tripling for a restaurant if they want to keep it.
Not even just fast food places; nowadays if your kid wants to go in the Chuck E Cheese play place in my area, you have to pay extra on top of admission/tokens/food for grippy socks. And not just any socks with grips will do - you have to shell out $10 for special CEC socks. I assume this is all insurance-based as well. Kids slip in their socks in those things, bangs head, parents clean the place out. I hate current day sue-happy culture. Its nerfed everything for children.
 
IT HAS TO BE COMPROMISED AVIONICS, its the only logical option
No. The most logical option is that it's a very difficult aircraft to fly. The majority of the F35s that have crashed with any regularity are F35-Bs, the V/STOL variant. The B is a massively more complex machine compared to the -A and -C variants, with a great many more things that can go wrong. The Hawker Harrier, which it was designed to replace, had similar issues throughout its lifetime. A pilot has to be at the very top of his game to fly such a jet, even with the advances in automation present in the F35, because it is an inherently unforgiving aircraft to fly at the best of times. Place one in the hands of a rookie or someone who isn't up to scratch and things will go terribly wrong.

The reason they "lost" that one plane is because the F35, qnce it's in vertical flight mode, can maintain altitude and attitude autonomously. This is intended to give the pilot more mental space to operate the craft. If the pilot checks out for whatever reason (say he's an incompetent DEI hire who panics when betty bitches at him) then the plane will maintain a level wing hover, but won't necessarily maintain position, so a strong wind will eventually move it around like an escaped balloon.
 
nah its way deeper than that

do you realize if just 2 of chinas 5th gen fighter crash in similar ways we would have late night comedians doing 5 min bits about how those dumb chinks cant glue 2 pieces of wood together

we have lost nearly a DOZEN f35s in almost identical failures that cant be explained, that isent just some dumb pilots, (top gun pilots always have been the highest quality no gender program made them stick anyone unqualified in their 100 million dollar jet)

IT HAS TO BE COMPROMISED AVIONICS, its the only logical option
In the early 2010s there was a massive scandal where a supplier was buying parts from China but certifying them as American made. These aircraft electronics ended up in everything from commercial airlines to fighter jets.

Not mentioned at the time was that the compromised electronics would have allowed these aircraft to be controlled remotely.
 
City of Worchester, Massachusetts voted 9 - 2 to become a sanctuary for troons. Daily caller article too, yeah, tabloid, but does show this just happened. (A)

Not sure if I could come up with worse timing for these tards to do this. I guess they don't need federal funding.

Edit: From Boston.com and CBS too to confirm this. Just occurred TODAY. (A2, A3)
 
I like the cope of saying "he didn't get majority vote because some people didn't vote," as if that somehow contradicts the definition of a majority vote.

The fact they downvoted this guy just tells me they don't even understand him, they just got mad he pointed to an empirical fact. Sometimes it's hard to believe these people are real human beings.
My favorite image of all time is during 2016 when someone genuinely claimed that trump only had a 24% approval rating because they were adding everyone who didnt vote with the people who voted for hillary.

I dident put all that together for you to just not read it, how do you explain the other 14 then?

go read og post, had to take some images out to make reply work

It hadn't been posted when I wrote that.

The explanation is simple: The F35 is a compromised design from the outset. It has had numerous build quality issues, as well as structural issues caused by the need to maintain commonality between variants with wildly different mission profiles and internal designs. It has a distracting cockpit. The -B variant, as I said, is even more complicated and suffers the same stability problems as the predecessor Harrier. You don't need some magical compromised avionics to explain the high failure rate of an over-engineered aircraft with poor quality control in its manufacture. Add in overworked, under-trained pilots learning an entirely new platform and the only surprise is that there haven't been more crashes.

Worst bit is at 4:55 where someone walks their poor kid out in front of the freaks to spout nonsense they printed out.
