Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
All current employees of Las Vegas Strip resorts are required to get coronavirus testing last week and this week in anticipation of opening the casinos at the end of the month. (My wife has to go in today and get tested even though the spas are likely not opening for at least another month if not longer).
It's going to be interesting to see how this goes. Could be potentially devastating to the economy here if there are huge outbreaks that can get traced back to people deciding to party it up in Las Vegas. I'm sympathetic to the business owners and there's so many ancillary businesses here that are dependent on the casinos being re-opened but I still can't help thinking this is going to be a complete shitshow.

Do they even grow potatoes in Virginia? And why do they need guarding?

About that...might have been only related to stock market manipulation (my supposition). Since we don't have effective oversight of anything in this country any more, we'll probably never know.

Bulk come from states like Idaho, Washington... But, sure, VA has some potato crops.

Virginia potatoes is a distraction for Mike Pompeo right now. The ridiculous dinners and the firing of the IG investigating him.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
And this is really the true failing of journalism right now. It's across the board. They eat up whatever he puts out, without circling back and pointing out why he is (likely) saying what he is saying.
The IG was yet another Friday after the bell firing. And we've got morons talking about potatoes the next week.
Very fucking frustrating.

And I'm not trying to be a dick, but I said on this board in March that the CDC had been completely politicized and you can't fully trust what they've been saying during this shitshow.

In veins of costing cities money, Indianapolis canceled GenCon yesterday. Probably the biggest convention of the year here.

Looks like Great Britain is trying to overtake Brazil for the silver medal in the Who's Fucking This Up the Most Olympics.

I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil ends up with the gold after all is said and done.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Bolsonaro personally organized and participated in anti-social distancing rallies, at a point when every other major country was enforcing restrictions. Add his idiocy to the fact that Brazil has huge cities, with lots of urban poverty, and it's a recipe for disaster. Who know if we'll ever get an accurate count of Brazil, but even based on the reported figures Brazil is second to the U.S. in total cases, with the numbers climbing rapidly.rass wrote: ↑Mon May 25, 2020 4:01 pmAbsolutely.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I went to pick up some carry out at shake shack for lunch. It’s in a kind of outdoor mall with a lot of stores and restaurants. Outside of employees there was only one other person wearing a mask. Wtf?
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Shake Shack is a fast-foodish place that makes OK burgers and really good milkshakes and even those are not really standing in line for and not a kind of outdoor mall with a lot of stores and restaurants.

Well I actually hate shake shack and it was just for the kid who loves it. And I just raked up when the app said it was ready.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Interesting ... I’m a big fan in large part because their buns are easily the best in common fast food.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I don’t know what it is but I just don’t care for their burgers. It pressed to go and eat there I will usually get a Chicago dog but today I offered to pick up a couple of places. But your point about buns is true. They do have good buns.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Also not all of the restaurants are back open yet in that mall. My favorite place is right next doo to shank shack and may not open back again amid you listen to rumors. Who knows. It’s a bbq joint with some great smoked wings.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Smoked wings with Alabama white BBQ sauce should be the next big thing the northeast steals and act like they made matter.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Truly elite combo. I’ve never had real white sauce, just made from recipes, and the first half dozen were meh and the last one I settled on was amazing.
