I would never knowingly give UAE my money.

It’s ok to be wrong, just understand that you are and accept that.

McDonald’s ranks just above Arby’s. It isn’t cheap anymore, they have doubled their prices in the last 10 years completely divorced from inflation and you pretty much have to use a self-Order kiosk if you go inside.

I do live within a somewhat unreasonable drive of their corporate headquarters, so I can get the best version of McDonald’s possible in America if I have that level of self loathing.

I absolutely 99% of the time will go to Culver’s instead and pay like $2 more for a vastly better fast food experience despite having to drive 30mins round trip instead of 10 minutes.

I would love to try golden arches in a European country or Japan to find out how good McDonald’s can actually be.

Community note: It was an emu, but Mark is working hard to be able to sub an ostrich.

Most furnace problems can be fixed by cleaning the flame sensor, which is like 5 minutes to do. It would be like $150+ to have someone come out, check for continuity, clean with a $10 tool, and check again.

I think a lot of people are too intimidated by not wanting to overcome their ignorance and possibly make things worse to even begin learning simple tasks that can save them loads of cash.

For me to call a professional means me deciding that a professional is cheaper than me buying specialized tools that I will rarely use again.
