Nixon started his career as a based anti communist in congress but his presidency was fairly statist.

HR covered up multiple sexual assaults and physical assaults in the workplace with the complicity of a senior executive. Same executive promoted an unqualified secretary to a senior leadership position, and it turned out they were having an affair. No consequences for anyone (ETA: except the whistleblowers).

I’m surprised it took this long. There are a lot of families loyal to that camp but $10 million is a lot to raise from alumni to keep it running. Just a sad deal all around.

re: NFL will not hold a Supplemental Draft for Brendan Sorsby

quote:Note that the explanation for his denial doesn't say it is because he violated NCAA rules. Many, if not most, players who have entered the supplemental draft violated NCAA rules of some type. Cris Carter signed with an agent. Terrelle Pryor sold memorabilia. That is one of the main reasons why it exists--for players deemed ineligible for college ball after the regular draft deadline because they violated NCAA rules.
Sorsby will sue
Claim will be the Terrelle Pryor was allowed onto draft after violating NCAA rules, this setting precedent.
Sorsby will win and the NFL will have to run a Supplemental Draft.
None of those other players gambled on their own team. Also, none of them had a court order saying they were still eligible, which they voluntarily dismissed themselves. We're also under a different CBA than those other players were, though the supplemental draft language may be similar.

re: Most restaurants should be counter service these days
Posted by Gravitiger on 6/22/26 at 1:02 pm to northshorebamaman
You gave an example yourself of how mistiming tickets results in cold food--server moves a dish to make room for other orders that are ready.
Not all restaurants have heat lamps in the window, if they expect get orders out ASAP and/or (to your earlier point) don't want it to wilt or whatever. Not all of them even have a window, sometimes it's just plated on a prep table for the server to grab.
Also, heat lamps are not closed systems. Heat escapes. If the food isn't all ready, the food that is will get cooler after a little while, no matter what. Heat lamps don't indefinitely keep things at the finished cooking temperature.

I explained why I believe that is still kitchen error 99% of the time, and I don't think you correctly estimate the temperature of most restaurants' holding windows.

I'm not sure why your question remains. I answered it clearly.

quote:I have never seen a server take food out of the window, set it somewhere else, and leave it for any length of time. If they did, it's likely because the kitchen didn't have the rest of the order ready and someone needed to make space for another setting.
Not sure what you mean here. If the kitchen mistimes the food it 'dies' in the window. But it's still hot. Shitty, but hot. Because the heat 'killed' it. If it's cold the server took it out of the window and set it somewhere or it wasn't fully cooked. What am I missing? How does mistiming cause cold food unless it's pulled from the window?
How hot do you think the window is, the same as the fryer oil or something? Do you think it keeps food oven hot?
Not fully cooked is also the kitchen's fault.

bullshite. We had an appetizer and meal. Half of those two hours were spent sitting there with empty glasses and finished plates sitting in front of us. Never should happen when spending nearly $300 for a meal.

quote:If your food isn't hot, most of the time it is because the kitchen timed all your party's meals poorly, not because it sat in the window waiting for someone to bring it to you.
But the original example, Bozo's restaurant where they have waters - I would much rather pick up my $20 fried shrimp plate than wait forever and have it come out less than hot.
Personally, I get far more frustrated with the wait times and chaos and wrong orders at counter pick-up places than at full-service restaurants.

quote:If you were truly at a "high end steakhouse," they expect you to be there for 2 hours, having drinks, appetizers, dessert, etc. Not just go in, pound some beef, and get out. It's a fine dining experience, not fast casual slop bowls. They presume you are also there to enjoy the company, and the meal is timed accordingly.
Went to a high end steakhouse over the weekend and were there for damn near 2 hours it was so slow.
I'm sorry your wife had to be out in public with you for that long, though. That must have been rough for her.
