All Purpose Coronavirus Discussion Part XVIII: Let's Get These Threads Back On The Rail(s)

Of the burger chains, five guys is definitely the best. But they should only be eaten in light of heavy hangovers or "i just spent 3 days in the woods and haven't eaten" scenarios.

A garbage man doesn’t have to approach a trash bag from the rear and pie off to a 30° angle to make sure the bag doesn’t shoot at him. Every time he picks up a bag. A cop does every single time he has to stop a car.

A garbage man has to constantly be aware of the truck moving, getting caught in its maw, oncoming traffic, etc.
Any job with a high death rate is intrinsically stressful - is there a difference being worried about a sniper v a land mine?

There are some unique stressors to police work, but not the ones you think.

Police stressors and health: a state-of-the-art review

It's hard to find reliable studies on occupational stress, the mass media articles tend to cite one site of dubious value.

Six occupations are reporting worse than average scores on each of the factors – physical health, psychological well-being and job satisfaction (ambulance workers, teachers, social services, customer services – call centres, prison officers and police).

Years ago I went to one of the first (maybe the first) 5 Guys in Alexandria VA. I think they were better then, before they went national.

I used to go to that one 20 years ago when I lived in Arlington off Route 50.

Really?

At the rate the NHL is going with their restart, I’m guessing the 2020 Cup is awarded on Halloween. The 20-21 season will then start on Presidents’ Day 2021 and, after Cthulhu is finally sent back to his home dimension, it will end the week prior to the 2024 election.

Why on earth did you watch them out of order??

Prometheus and covenant were prequels

5 Guys is great. It's the classic craving food. I never drive past a 5 Guys when I'm hungry and am like "you know what let's stop here"

You go to 5 Guys.

Yes there’s a difference between a sniper and landmine . If you step into the path of a sniper, he could miss, his gun jam or misfire. If you step into a landmine it either was wired right or wired wrong.
A cop has to worry about all that , minus the compactor. Then has to worry about people not wanting to go to jail, people that hate cops. People that want to commit suicide by cop. Mentally ill people other than suicidal.
When was the last time someone shot at a garbage man, on purpose.

Prometheus and covenant were prequels

That I would say ruin the mystique of the original moves.

That’s when you go to a Brazilian steak house. The meat sweats are real.

why not? We all did that with Star Wars.

It’s more likely he’s antifa than a cop

he could also be a white supremacist

5 guys is really good. Love the fries. Their regular fries has like 3 times more at least then BK, McDonalds, Wendys ect
They make a good shake too

 

[kudymen]

Call me ignorant but I would never guess Moscow has more monthly deaths than Jakarta
(given the size of Moscow, comparison to NYC or London is mind-blowing too)

 

[Lord Defect]

Of course he could be. But simply saying he IS a cop is factually incorrect at this time.
An ex wife doesn’t amount to jack. I’m sure their separation was not amicable.

Problem is, the places you’d expect to have a lot of deaths are also places you’d assume aren’t great with testing and finding out who has it or who died from it, so I don’t know if I’d trust their numbers.

 

[Lord Defect]

You go with the the order they were made.

I’d never trust a Russian, period, but that’s a different story..

They're good, dont get me wrong. But you can't eat that shit everyday, Fred.

I dknt even consider 5 guys in that tier. Theres fast food. Then there's burger joints like 5 guys, in n out, red Robin, etc.

 

[BernieParent]

HELLO I'M JOJO, PLAYTING MY 202143TH GAME ON CHEN. EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE ONLY HERO I PLAY I STILL SUCK AT IT. AS A COMPENSATION FOR MY LACK OF SKILL I AM GOING TO BUY ALL SUPPORT ITEMS AND GANK MID AT LVL 2 AND FAIL. THANKS FOR LISTENING.

I didn't understand a single syllable of this paragraph, and yet I still enjoyed it.

Have to agree about Tim Toolboy....

Red Robin’s is more like a TGIFridays or Applebee’s than the other two.

I’d count Chipotle and Five Guys as fast food though.

But yeah, I couldn’t eat it every day. It’s a rare treat.
