Would you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?

Sounds to me like you’re a quitter
wrote last edited by [email protected]I guess one could invent some sort of mechanical cranked device that maybe has multiple people cranking and some sort of geared system to combine their inputs and produce the same level of mixing as an electrically-driven system.

If you're at the lesser DQ, you could pay a couple extra bucks and upgrade it to the next size up. You would save from having to buy a gallon of gas if you're not electric and 20 minutes.
wrote last edited by [email protected]The current GSA mileage rate is $0.7/mi. This rate is pretty for accurate building in the cost of driving a typical car- gas, tires, oil, the car itself, etc.
That trip cost at least $7, if 10 miles of travel includes the return.
So no, I wouldn’t.

Why is everything a parody of the original lol. Flurry.. Blizzard.. Anyway what's everyone's opinion on this, are Dairy Queen's Blizzards better than Mcdonalds' Flurries?
wrote last edited by [email protected]You made me curious. In case anyone else is also curious; the Blizzard has been around since 1962 and has existed in it's current form, with all the stuff mixed in, since 1985, and the McFlurry was created by a Canadian franchisee in 1995 and started rolling out around the US in 1997.

Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.
Without a doubt yes. Why? Because I bet the customer service and wait time at the 2nd one is better.
I’m too damn grumpy for that.

that's $3-5 in fuel and maintenance, so probably not
Closer to $7 for the round-trip

I would report the DQ on the left to corporate. Fast food franchises have standards they meed to follow in order to not damage the brand. The franchise owner will absolutely get spanked for that.
You're assuming the one on the left isn't the one already doing it correctly.

It's insane to me how expensive car ownership is

I mean this as softly as possible:
It's not your job to shout at people online and be negative about things in relation to your personal past traumas.
You might be intending it as help, but you're just coming across like a raging asshole.
This sort of behavior is a sign that you have a lot of shit to work through still. I'd expect that this sort of aggressive admonishing didn't work on you, and is part of that shit you have to work through. Don't perpetuate it.
From: Someone raised by a narcisist anxiety riddled wino with emotional regulation issues, and an absentee emotionally unavailable depressive man with ADHD.
Not trying any sort of one upmanship, just highlighting that plenty of people have personal traumas. Try to not make it the world's problem to deal with.
Few things:
- Appreciate ya.
- I'm neither shouting or trolling.
- Don't eat garbage.
It seems to me that people here are getting really upset by the idea that buying a sugary treat commercial product is trashy. Growing up I had no choices other than trash. Now I'm going to call out trashy behavior when I see it. Eating junk food is trashy.

wrote last edited by [email protected]No shit. I used to live in New York, where I could take the subway everywhere. When I moved to Orlando, including the cost of a car, my cost of living tripled. Living in New York was cheaper.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Trivia: while the phrase "American as apple pie" is a thing, it's something of a misnomer. Apples aren't New World, and apple pie was a thing prior to Europeans heading over to the Americas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple
Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Eurasia before they were introduced to North America by European colonists.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_pie
Originating in the 14th century in England, apple pie recipes are now a standard part of cuisines in many countries where apples grow.
Apple pie was brought to the colonies by the English, the Dutch, and the Swedes during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Although originating in England and eaten in Europe since long before the European colonization of the Americas, apple pie as used in the phrase "as American as apple pie" describes something as being "typically American".[31][32] In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, apple pie became a symbol of American prosperity and national pride. A newspaper article published in 1902 declared that "No pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished."[33] The dish was also commemorated in the phrase "for Mom and apple pie"—supposedly the stock answer of American soldiers in World War II, whenever journalists asked why they were going to war. Jack Holden and Frances Kay sang in their patriotic 1950 song "The Fiery Bear", creating contrast between this symbol of U.S. culture and the Russian bear of the Soviet Union:
We love our baseball and apple pie
We love our county fair
We'll keep Old Glory waving high
There's no place here for a bearMaybe we should use "American as chocolate chip cookies" --- those were invented in the US.

No. For starters I'm a metric kind of guy. Secondly I'm not that into blizzards.

Leather? You want to kill a cow just so you can walk around? A few days barefoot and you'll grow your own self-replenishing leather. If you really must waste resources on your feet, I recommend cutting up an old, used tire. Same techniques as leather footwear, but re-use rather than murder.

First, forget about using steel belted tires. Just don’t try it. They are HARD to cut no matter how you do it and it is dangerous with tiny bits of steel flying around your face and eyes. Not to mention that eventually you will get a sliver of steel in your finger or foot. If you have ever gotten steel in your finger, you know how aggravating that is.
There are plenty of nylon belted tires you can use. The most common source is the little donut spare tires in newer cars. These are the ones marked ‘Temporary Use Only and Don’t drive over 45 miles per hour.’ The reason being, they are not steel belted. You can get these at the junkyard or just steal one out of your neighbor’s car when they are unloading groceries.

Nah, for the obvious gas reasons. Now, is it was a Foster Freeze... still nah, but I'd certainly consider it if I had other business in that town and could get a Boss burger alongside it.

Honestly dude, just show them the picture, and tip an extra 2 bucks when you go. They’re minimum wage workers, they don’t give a fuck and they do not get tips ever at dq. They will remember that shit forever and do that for you.

As a former DQ regular (one of my favorite treats as I drove cross-country) I can say that the one on the left is definitely very short. Like, "I want my money back" full Karen "I want to speak to the manager" short.
