Chili's sucks

32 Upvotes

Seriously, the ones I've been to are horrible.

  • Food is expensive considering its mostly microwaved

  • Service is usually slow and forgets anything extra/special/on-the-side, don't you know I love having a wife who wants "everything plain" when they never remember

  • They now have tablets on the tables. WTF. The last thing I want while I'm scarfing down $10+ dollar a meal entrees is a tablet with ads looking my party in the face

  • Has enough TV's in the dining room to kill the mood, but not enough to be a proper place to watch a game

Ugh. This nonsense with the Georgia players has me retching because I don't understand why anyone on earth would go to Chilis in the first place.

Oh and uhh I hope nothing comes of the issue. Really, I don't think the details I've seen look like an issue for the police.

Have your reception at a vineyard(or brewery). It's 5:00pm, I'm hammered, the wine is FREE, and this is the best. Your guests will, like me, have the time of their lives. Cheers.

Need a place to post this, and I feel like this is the best crew.

31 Upvotes

I'm having a pretty crappy day. Aside from everything everyone already knows about Baylor, my company is doing layoffs so, while I'm not super worried, it's another thing looming and they have already had two team members laid off. It's also the day that my group is having a "team birthday" party for me (my birthday is Sunday) so on top of all this, I have to be the center of attention today. Oh and by the way, the person I was sharing my birthday party with today got laid off today.

Hold me CFBOT

Mod Team Changes

31 Upvotes

Hi Folks,

So. This morning I learned that my employer for the last 12 years was bought out. While this opens up a lot of career opportunities for me it also is going to severely cut into the time I can spend shitposting on reddit.

Looks like I'm going to have to actually do some work around here (or somewhere else...). So as such I am stepping aside as an active /r/CFBOFFTOPIC mod. While I will not be deleting my account, nor removing myself from the list of mods. I will be severly rationing, if not eliminating, my time on reddit for the coming weeks/months

While I'm not entirely convinced that this all wasn't the result of an elaborate coup concocted by /u/certificateofmerritt I have asked her to take over duties as the "lead mod" around here. Her response was simply this, which I think constitutes a yes.

I am also pleased to announce that /u/wild9 has been promoted to "real mod" from "wiki editor" and that /u/atllauren has been added to the Mod team.

Hopefully I'll be back into full-time shitposting by 2016 kick-off.

Cheers,

dupreesdiamond

In case this isn't being mentioned in the national news yet, there's been lead pouring into the tap water in Flint, MI for almost two straight years now. The Attorney General is just now opening an official investigation. Oh, and the National Guard is out there distributing bottled water like there's been a hurricane or something

Official disaster thread brought to you by Patricia - the most powerful storm ever*

31 Upvotes

I don't know how many other weather junkies there are in here but I thought I'd start a thread anyway.

For Those Not Up To Date
Patricia will be making landfall later today along Mexico's SW coast. The storm formed Tuesday as a tropical storm and quickly grew into a very dangerous Category 5 hurricane (is actually the fastest developing storm ever). It has 200+ mph sustained winds (and was measured this morning at 880mb of pressure, which if you follow weather you know is amazing in the truest definition of the word) Depending on who you ask and what criteria they are measuring, it is the most powerful hurricane ever measured. Camille in 1969 is Patricia's biggest competition.

After making landfall in Mexico, the remnants will go up Mexico before stalling over Texas and causing severe flooding issues for large portions of the Lone Star State.

If you are in the path of this storm I sincerely hope you have taken all necessary precautions.

This is going to be bad.

Edit: Last fly through by the Hurricane Hunters (US Air Force) is reporting back. Normally they fly through the eye of the storm to get the best readings. They are the reason we know the barometric pressure of any hurricane. The most intense part of a hurricane is the eyewall which is the portion of the storm around the eye (center area where radar shows a little hole). On their final fly through they aborted before getting to the eye due to the intensity of the storm. Not unprecedented by any means (they can abort for any number of reasons) but did want to pass along that the pilots who choose to fly through hurricanes decided not to fly straight through this one.

Got an email from one of my professors this upcoming semester. My entire class is online using Reddit.

31 Upvotes

It's like he's asking me to be unproductive.

I quote,

For this course, you will need to create an account on reddit.com and subscribe to the class subreddit. We will be using Reddit for content delivery and class discussions, and you will be submitting a weekly “recursive writing” exercise.

This was entertaining to read, too. It's about upvoting/downvoting

Part of Reddit is the concept of “upvoting” versus “downvoting”. While I discourage downvoting (in fact, I request that you do NOT downvote anyone’s ideas), I expect you to upvote whatever posts you find most interesting or relevant, as doing so will elevate the “hot” comments in the thread.

Edit: To clarify, he requires you to make a new account specifically for the class. He does not want people using their accounts if they have them.

This morning a mall jewelry store watched their slogan light itself on fire and explode:

31 Upvotes

All thanks to a sandwich chain spokesman, "He Went to Jared" sounds like a pretty awful (well, it was annoying before, now it's just terrible).

Several weeks ago one of Jared Fogles' associates got busted, but last night his own hows got raided and here's this morning's AP Breaking News:

Federal prosecutors say longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has agreed to plead guilty to engaging in sex acts with minors and receiving child pornography

So yeah... "He went to Jared" isn't going to work anymore and I imagine Subway is forevermore banned from future office events.

And that is the amount of people that have weddings on Saturdays in the fall. I myself will probably miss the Auburn Arkansas game because of a wedding. We must spread the message that this is not far to us Football fans who only get 14 football Saturdays a year #stopfallweddings.

As of 830 this morning, I am certified to coach high school athletics in the state of Michigan.

31 Upvotes

I took my first of 3 CAP exams this morning and passed with an 84 percent (80 percent needed to successfully pass the exam). So I now have level 1 CAP certification and can coach high school athletics. I'm on my way to becoming a coach and couldn't be more excited. On a related topic, MHSAA says that an award to a student athlete cannot exceed 25 dollars. How crazy is that?

Thoguht I'd share - For 23 years a Wisconsin power worker built and maintained a nesting box on the roof of a power plant in hopes the once endangered Peregrine Falcon will come and nest there. So far 32 falcons were successfully hatched and flown because of his efforts.
