    Big Mac used to be 3.19 back in 2012, now it’s 6.09 but I don’t make double of what I did back then

      When I worked there in the late 90s, a Big Mac MEAL was 3.14 after tax.

      I worked in Drivethrough checkout a lot and a lot of those prices are burned into my mind, half the time I was not near the register when taking orders and giving totals when it was slow.

        But no matter how much ketchup I use, I can’t cover up the bitter taste of the TVs lcd panel.

        That spy on you and sell your data and then get so slow with updates after a few years you need a new one. And have advertisements baked in

          Golly gee, if only there were a way to prevent that by, say, just choosing not to connect your TV to the wifi.

          I’ve never seen so many complaints about a self-inflicted problem.

            This isn’t going to be an option in the near future. With Amazon sidewalk and other projects setting up open networks, your TV is going to automatically connect to a network whether you like it or not.

            I never said I had that problem, I have never connected my TV to the internet. But those are issues with modern day TVs, you can’t argue against that
