    So... what's special about SF trash receptacles?

    Here we just have a gigantic blue trash bin with wheels that it all goes into together.

    Except pizza boxes. PIZZA BOXES ARE NOT RECYCLABLE!

    idk why

    How else would they know which bin is for what though?

    Also, I assume people just throw everything in every bin regardless.

    I heard about this Vice article. Several folks in local bands were on facebook asking people to stop sharing it because it's just generating revenue for them.

    Instead of Trash/Recycling, we have Trash/Recycling/Compost. Some places don't even have trash, they just have recycling and compost.

    I feel like I've finally joined the 21st century.

    I'm sitting in a Jimmy Johns, leeching the wireless from the coffeehouse on the other side of a wall, using my new Surface to browse pictures of dogs and cats while relaxing from work / working on my budget.

    I heard about this Vice article. Several folks in local bands were on facebook asking people to stop sharing it because it's just generating revenue for them.

    Someone started a blog here, called "roanoke sucks". Roanoke does suck, let me tell you. But it got a bunch of young people together to form a commitee called "roanoke doesn't suck" which has been forming events and theres sometimes kinda stuff to do every so often maybe now.

    edit: God, this article sounds like it was written by a 20 year old angry at the world, who refuses to do anything and then gets angrier that the world is shitty. I was like this in college, I believed there was nothing to do and the area was shitty and boring. Took me a long time to realize I was the one probably depressed and at fault for not going and doing things that were available and around.

    Well having seen a cigarette ash bin broken open so people could shovel non cigarette waste into it, after jamming the receptacles with the wrong rubbish and n having los scattered around the base, I now think think bins need clear signage

    It's more that I really don't feel chained to my desk anymore.

    Though as this is a Surface, I a chained to "A" desk. I just get to choose which one!

    wrong answer

    jimmy johns is like the fastest food you can get

    but their sandwiches are like sub-subway quality

    What?

    Have you ever even been to Subway?

    I don't know what Jimmy Johns are like wherever you live, but Jimmy Johns is by far the highest quality national chain for sandwiches I know of short of Panera. I mean, it's still shit next to a real deli, but it's not the mush wrapped in cardboard you get at Subway.

  • japanjapan Registered User regular
    I have no opinion on jimmy johns

  • AthenorAthenor Battle Hardened Optimist The Skies of HiigaraRegistered User regular
    My biggest issue with Jimmy Johns is that some of their sandwiches don't come with cheese, and getting cheese added is like 1-2 bucks on top of the price.

    VICE's article on how San Francisco is the worst place ever was uncannily spot-on accurate, so I can only assume their article on Austin is, too.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    indeed. It has a very impressive goodness / price ratio. There are better sandwiches but they generally cost at least 2x as much.

    edit: JJ is especially good compared to subway. Which is terrible and more expensive.

    Jimmy John's bread is tougher than I like for sandwiches.

    Other than that, they're pretty good.
