  Breakfast for dinner is also super common in the USA, sometimes called Brinner.

  Ironically Breakfast for dinner is the kind of breakfast that most people don’t have for breakfast most of the time (pancakes, french toast, fried or scrambled eggs, assorted meats, etc) so having it as dinner occasionally is actually more fitting in some ways.

  Most Americans eat the equivalent of cereal and coffee or no breakfast and just coffee most days. I myself almost never have breakfast. It’s sort of like a full English in the UK, most people aren’t eating that everyday.

  That’s a badass pic though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe this isn't proper shopping but $18.50 for four veggie burgers, buns, and danish seems like a lot⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing that seems expensive is the veggie patties in my opinion. For $4.99 I would have expected a 4 pack.

  The buns are a bit pricey, but we’re talking a dollar and some change then.

  Looks to me like you have most of 4 lunches and 4 breakfasts for $18.

  I’m familiar with similar certs (mandatory with 16-40 hrs of CEUs). My work knocks it out by attending a conference which always begins on Sunday. The compensation is that it’s always at the beach, we take company cars, we get paid per diem for meals, we get paid for our travel time, the gas and hotel are paid for, etc and most importantly… it’s only once per year.

  Some people bring their families and turn it into a mini vacation. It does eat into the weekend, but we’re more than fairly compensated and it’s still optional, you just have to attend several smaller and more boring trainings. The conference generally has a nice mixer event at least once and a really nice dinner at least once.

  If you want my weekend make it worth my time and I won’t mind it.

  What do you mean, this bad boy is probably powering a semi-critical government system somewhere, definitely not obsolete.

  They’re outraged because she was arrested, not because she was there.

  Ewww, hope that was a joke

  No, that’s not a thing

  Well yes… that’s what I have done, the problem is the other 99% of the customer base who continues to be stupid. It’s like when people say “stop preordering games” before the release of the next AAA game, but then it has record preorder sales and hundreds of complaints about it being an unfinished piece of crap. The customer base at large is too stupid to stop feeding the problem.

  I think the bigger gripe is less that there are subscriptions and more that they have gotten out of hand. Over time products that weren’t subscription based have become so to the detriment of the product and user experience.

  Some examples: Netflix used to have a wide variety of backlog material, they had a cheap subscription and replaced the video rental stores. As streaming and subscriptions became more of a thing businesses stopped allowing that content on Netflix because they wanted to do it themselves. Now you need 2-3 subscriptions for the same benefit that old Netflix had. I dropped all mine except for Amazon, I don’t want 3 streaming subscriptions.

  Ubisoft and many other game companies decided to take their content off of Steam because they felt they weren’t getting enough from Valve. They split off and made their own equivalents, but the benefit of Steam is not having multiple launchers. I’d rather not play a game than have to have their brand specific launcher & account.

  I don’t have a “right” to free content, but i still feel that the direction of the market has made the content and consumption of said content worse.

  Broski, my commute is typically 45 min by car each way. On the days I’m in the office I work 10+ days to avoid the traffic.

  Let’s be honest, Forbes has been a trashhole for a while.
