I don't miss diners living in the Bay Area. Mostly because we have tons of them. I can walk to one without breaking a sweat.
What I miss are the American-Chinese buffets. You know, the kind that looks like it would fit in as a lobby of a Vegas Casino? The garish ostentatious ones with LANES of buffet food, all sorts of seafood that you can imagine, and inexplicably, an aisle devoted to hot dogs, pizzas, and burgers. They were a big thing in the Midwest (I can easily find one within a 10 minute drive), but out here, the closest one to where I live is about a 30 minute drive away.
Next to two casinos, of course. :P
They could be obliterated by simultaneous drone strike overnight and nothing of value would be lost.
West Coast owns weird ass fusion restaurants doesn't it?
I went to a thai-calmex place in silicon valley and it was like I was living inside a joke about the west coast but nobody was laughing.
Edit: It was fine, the food was ok, but it had absolutely no synergy at all. Everything was exactly the sum of its parts. It clearly only existed because of some weird cultural phenomenon.

Given that I can't find any that are near me, they probably already were.
I only miss it because I can't have it. Like, White Castle and Steak N Shake. Neither one of those places have franchises out here in California. They're terrible, and yet I miss them.

My favorite is when I see places that are like "Chinese fusion".
Chinese fused with what? Is "fusion" a shibboleth now?
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

I've been a proponent of kimchi on brats for years.

In all the places I've seen the term used here in the Bay Area, all it meant was "in a burrito". Korean fusion is bibimbap in a burrito, for example. :P
When I went to an interview in silicon valley I wore a suit and one of the other interviewees laughed at me because I was overdressed.
suits are for funerals

God damnit Fallout New Vegas why are you so crashy?
Because of Bethesda. That is the actual answer.

ARNOLDS PARK, IA—Appearing at a campaign event in the early primary state, real estate mogul and presidential candidate Donald Trump told an assembled group of dairy farmers Monday that his cows were 500 times bigger than theirs. “Your cows are small and scrawny, and you should be embarrassed to milk them,” said Trump, adding that each of his cows was the size of “at least” a dozen Cadillacs and had “udders that’ll make your head spin.” “No one raises dairy cows as gigantic or successful as I do; everyone knows that. My cattle are winners, and you people would be lucky to have them graze here.” Chatting with patrons at a diner later in the day, Trump reportedly said the apple pie was a disgrace and that his pies were a mile wide, with a perfect crust that made all the losers jealous.
God damnit Fallout New Vegas why are you so crashy?
Turn off Auto-save on Fast Travel/Area Transitions. Also, make sure you are only using one or two save files. The more save files you have, the crash-ier the game potentially is.
EDIT: From an old OP that I wrote up for the Fallout thread:
Performance/Crashing issues
Q: Brah! My Fallout: New Vegas installation keeps crashing! What can I do?
A: If you are playing the Steam version of the game, right click the game in your Steam Library, go to Properties, and try "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE" in the Local Files tab. This often fixes crashing problems.
A: If you are crashing after extended sessions and you have 4 GB or more of RAM, try using the 4 GB Extender.
A: Sometimes a cell does not properly unload itself from memory, causing you to crash when you approach a certain area from a certain direction. Often, this can be fixed, oddly enough, by approaching the crashing area from a different direction. This may not be possible in some areas (like crashing as soon as you get to the Strip or crashing when you enter Fort McCarran).
A: Auto-save on Travel is a big culprit when it comes to crashes that occur on Transition screens.
A: Don't use EVE. Seriously. It conflicts with SO many mods out there.
A: Project Nevada is neat! But it also is a common cause of constant crashing. Try removing it.
A: Reduce the number of saves in your save game directory. Oddly enough, sometimes this works. Just move or delete your archived saves to somewhere else.

I wonder how fast driverless cars and associated services are going to be adopted nationwide. The thought that my current vehicle could be the last one I ever own is pretty delightful.

I forget who was it (someone here? my wife?) that observed that farmers only is probably just code for whites only
no clue if that's true but I chuckled. cuz a profession centered dating website seems bizarre
Farmer's hours can be pretty insane, so maybe that factors into it?
Being a farmer is more of a commitment to living a certain way. Let's say you're running the family farm, the same farm that your great great grandfather started when he emigrated from Europe. You want to find someone who is just as committed to farm life, not a city person who will resent being dragged out to the country and make your life miserable for it.

i really enjoy all the niche/cultural/ethnic group focused dating websites
farmers only
jdate
christian mingle
etc.

Uniform dating is the big one here, and it makes plenty of sense. For lots of people it's an integral part of their identity, and it avoids the drama when the person you're dating finds out you mean it when you say you're not on a regular schedule, and can't always promise being off certain times or dates.

yeah but almost no farmers in the US are actually like this anymore. sure they represent a stereotype the republicans just cannot get enough of fellating but in terms of numbers they are a rounding error.
Farming in the US means working for one of the very few giant agribusinesses. Usually in the capacity of managing all the slaves undocumented laborers who do the actual work.

It works because there are 2 in LI.
Yes.
And also for many other occasions.
Blocked out time for this conference call. Have yet to receive meeting invite.
N-naptime..?
Why do you hate LI so much? It's just NJ but without trashy south NJ and with old money people in estates on the north shore.
it all makes so much sense now...
To give other games a fighting chance.

Actual answer: they stretched the very limits of the engine designed for the xbox 360's ram with the base game
using the 4gb thing for it can help
definitely cute
super nerdy, awesome
into gaming, great.
