• Weather And Internet

    From Daryl Stout@VERT/TBOLT to NIGHTFOX on Sun Feb 25 12:09:00 2018
    The only reason I haven't been on Facebook...or had the BBS up for
    that matter...is due to weather. Over 8 inches of rain has fallen here

    Does rain affect your power or internet service there?

    It can. Some parts of Arkansas have received over a foot of rain since
    last Tuesday...along with severe weather yesterday (there were several
    tornado warnings issued). If I lose power, I lose internet as well. Of
    course, if lightning is in the area, then everything gets shut down.

    When we did a bus tour of San Antonio this is exactly what the bus

    In the late 90's my wife and Myself had 3 bad experiences at 3 different Denny's in a row so we have for the most part boycotted Denny's since then.
    We did break that boycott 2 times Once out of state on a trip and once visiting my Mom.
    and there is a LaQuinta Inn near the Denny's by us lol.

    I've generally enjoyed eating at Denny's when I've eaten there. It seems like Denny's are disappearing though.. There was one not too far from me that I recently noticed is gone now.

    It seems like that will depend on the location. Denny's recently opened a new location near the hospital. The Denny's I've seen here in this part of the state is still doing business.

    LaQuinta, though, not sure if I have seen any around here. I remember seeing a Denny's nearby a LaQuinta in Florida, just not in this state. ... Then again,
    a lot of people in this state seems to think and act differently than other states.

    I used to like KFC in the past, and they used to have chicken wraps that they stop making for some odd reason. After that, their quality tanked. Never went back.

    I had Popeye's once when I lived near Springfield, MO amd they were horrible. Then we moved near Columbia, SC and had the Popeye's in some small town and they were WAY better than the one in Springfield, MO.

    I agree: Popeye's is FAR better than KFC; and I would put the Popeye's near my house (~12-13 minute drive) my second favorite chicken place, just below any Chic-Fil-A. :D I LOVE Chic-Fil-A, and I missed it when I lived in Missouri (only two Chic-Fil-A's in Springfield, and I lived about 30 minutes of a drive from Springfield).

    I like Popeye's, except after a while I get a little tired that just about everything they have is spicy. The mild stuff is good but has a kick that slowly grows in intensity. Even their onion rings are spicy. Sometimes I'd prefer something from KFC. I remember when KFC used to have chicken nuggets a long time ago, which I really liked.. I wish they still had those.

    I do not know about in your area but here KFC has gotten real expensive and the portion size has gone done alot. I stay away fromt here because it is to expensive to eat there anymore. Plus I don't think the quality of the food is as good anymore. The same with Wendy's there prices have gone up and it is not as good anymore. There burgers are real dry. They use to be juicey long time ago. Pizza is about the only good value around here anymore and only from a couple of places. (Pizza Hut & Cottage Inn)

    Well Pizza Hut here is expensive so I do not order from them. I get my pizza from Cottage Inn (cottageinn.com) and I only loike pan or deep dish pizza as anything else is like eating a thin piece of cardboard. I do not drive anymore so I have to stay wiht a place that delivers so I can have pizza when I do want some.

    While I don't mind Pizza Hut and Dominos is so-so, the best pizzas always seem to come from the little independent shops, rather than the big chains. I find the same with hamburgers. I don't go for McDonalds burgers at al. Hungry Jacks (our version of Burger King) aren't bad, but by far the best is a "Hamburger with the lot" from a local fish and chip shop. Don't do KFC at all either.

    In southwest Little Rock, there have been quite a few restaurant
    changes. A former Wendy's was converted to a Hardee's...a former
    Popeye's was moved to a new location across the street (that replaced a
    former Ryan's Cafeteria), and the original Popeye's was replaced by a
    Burger King...both inside a Shell Station convenience store. There are
    at least 3 area Burger King restaurants inside a gas station (Shell or
    Valero) convenience store.

    As an aside, I *LOVE* the flavor of their chicken tenders.

    I have found that local burger places are really the best for a good burger. Sadly we do not have any of those now all we have are the chain burger places. But there are a few bars around here that have good burgers if you don't mind going to a bar for one.


    Subway is good now that they fired that asshat Jarred.

    Subway here is the worst place you can go, there bread is stale and sometimes it is so hard you can hardly chew it. I am not much for subs anyway if I want a good sandwich I go to a local meat market here and they have good sandwiches for lunch time. They only server them during the week at lunch time. They are to busy to be able to do in on Saturday and they are closed on Sunday.


    Arby's is still pretty good.

    It has been a long time since I have been to Arby's but last time I was there the food was still good.

    heh.. I'm the opposite, I tend to like thin crust pizza, because if the crust is too thick then the crust is almost all I taste.. It's hard to taste the toppings with so much crust. I also like it more crisp, and the thick crusts tend to be more doughy.

    Pizza Hut isn't my favorite either.. In fact I can't remember the last time I had a pizza from there.

    While I don't mind Pizza Hut and Dominos is so-so, the best pizzas always seem to come from the little independent shops, rather than the big chains. I find the same with hamburgers. I don't go for McDonalds burgers at al. Hungry Jacks (our version of Burger King) aren't bad, but by far the best is a "Hamburger with the lot" from a local fish and chip shop. Don't do KFC at all either.

    Yeah, the independent places seem to do a fairly good job. For fast food chains, I think McDonalds hamburgers are probably the worst, although I don't mind them if I'm really hungry. I prefer Burger King over McDonalds, though there are others I like as well. I think Carl's Jr. (or Hardee's in other parts of the US, as they're owned by the same company now) are fairly good for hamburgers too, and I also think Dairy Queen and A&W make a decent hamburger.

    In southwest Little Rock, there have been quite a few restaurant
    changes. A former Wendy's was converted to a Hardee's...a former
    Popeye's was moved to a new location across the street (that replaced a former Ryan's Cafeteria), and the original Popeye's was replaced by a Burger King...both inside a Shell Station convenience store. There are
    at least 3 area Burger King restaurants inside a gas station (Shell or Valero) convenience store.

    We've had a few changes here lately.. There was a Jack-In-The-Box not too far from me that closed for some reason, and it was replaced by a Muchas Gracias (local fast food Mexican chain, which I'm not too fond of). There was also a local seafood restaurant that I heard was fairly good that closed a few years ago, and they put in a Chick-Fil-A in its place. I heard people rave about that place, and there were long lines after it opened.. I tried them a couple times and it didn't really seem that special to me. Just another chicken place.

    Man, I remember when I was a kid, my brother, neighbor friend, and I would get $5 from our parents, ride down hill on our bikes, and go to Subway to have lunch during our Summer breaks from school. Now as an adult, I rarely go and only do it to get a quick sandwich.

    Arby's is still pretty good.

    Ick, not really. To me, most of their food is too greasy for my tas. About
    the only thing I get from Arby's is a turkey gyro.

    I like Arby's sometimes, but I find their gyros to be rather funny, as they don't seem to spice the meat the way gyro meat is typically spiced. From what I remember, they also offer their gyro with the traditional Arby's roast beef, which is not prepared the way gyro meat is typically prepared..

    Jack In The Box still has locations in my area. They've had a pretty funny string of commercials on TV, too.

    When I think of late-night fast food, usually Taco Bell is the place I think of. They're usually open late, and now a couple others are too (McDonald's and Burger King now have late drive-through hours).

    When I was in college, a Freshman, I had a night class once a week. Would always stop into the Big Boy right next to campus and have a bacon cheeseburger, onion rings, a slice of pecan pie, and a lemonade before class.
    I don't remember the lemonade being great, but thinking of the rest of it
    still makes me hungry.

    I like Papa John's when I eat it, but it is a lot more likely to give me heartburn after. I think their sauce has more sodium in it or something.
    But that does not stop me from eating it. :)

    Here locally, we used to have a place called Bella Pizza that was great.
    The owners (brothers) finally retired. Linney's, another local place, is
    also good. The owner and namesake passed away a couple of years back but,
    so far, the restaurant has stayed open.

    Pizza Inn, which may be (or may have used to have been) a chain, is also
    not bad. Only place left here in town, that I know of, that has a buffet,
    and the buffet usually has a good variety of pizza flavors, some of which
    are not so common. The Pizza Huts all went to carry-out/delivery only.

    Little Cesar's is also here and also not bad.

    I wish we had a Hometown Pizza here.

    I like pizza, in case you cannot tell. :D

    so that means there can be some bacteria inside that doesnt get the heat it needs to cook off.

    the local franchisees is in trouble with the state. In giving the
    managers menu items at wholesale instead of retail, the franchisee now
    owes $33,000 in back taxes. I've seen the state go in, and close down restaurants and other businesses, who don't pay their sales taxes.

    Food wise, the burgers at Burger King are flame broiled, with the
    grease flowing into a drip pan. They're not "swimming in grease" like
    those at Wendy's, McDonald's, etc.

    I believe it is a chain, and I thought that I saw a Pizza Inn or two in the southeastern US. I thought that I saw one years ago in the town that I grew up in. As far as buffet style pizza, we have a couple of Ci-Ci's in the area. They are decent.



    my friend's girlfriend works at a ci ci's down south.
    she told us one time a family picked up a table and put it right next to the buffet. right up against it.

    Jack in the Box?? After a night of drinking and chasing chickies on a Saturday >night, Jack in Box was the only place you could find open after 11:00pm. Unless
    you went to a restaurant and paid a fortune for a burger. The last Jack in the >Box closed down in the 80's here on Long Island. We were always drunk and broke
    so by the end of the night the drive threw at Jack in the Box was the only >place to eat after hours. Their Onion rigs were great at 3:00am!

    In the area I grew up in, you could catch a Taco Bell drive-thru open but,
    if it got too late, your only option was White Castle. Some of them were
    24 hours. One we used to go to had some guy that would come in with a
    guitar and play while the late-nighters ate.

    i'm in wisconsin and we have some great pizza here.

    What part? Drove through there for the first time late last August. My impression overall was that it is a beautiful state. Spend a couple of
    nights in Ashland, rode a boat around the Apostles, and saw a bunch of waterfalls and lighthouses before heading on up the Minnesota coast to
    Canada.

    Did not have any pizza while I was there, but I did have a pastie.

    Closest I got to SE Wisconsin was probably when I crossed the state line
    near Janesville. Went N a ways and then started heading NW.

    I guess they could sell them at gas stations. It is a cornish/welsh thing,
    I think. It is like a whole meal folded inside a crust. Some are like pot pies, I guess, except you don't make them in a tin. Filled with meat and some veggies, usually potato... when done right, they are very tasty.

    There is an italian pastry that is similar, but I cannot remember what they
    are called. They are usually full of tomato sauce and peperoni or sausage
    and, of course, cheese.

    While I don't mind Pizza Hut and Dominos is so-so, the best pizzas always seem to come from the little independent shops, rather than the big chains. I find the same with hamburgers. I don't go for McDonalds burgers at al. Hungry Jacks (our version of Burger King) aren't bad, but by far the best is a "Hamburger with the lot" from a local fish and chip shop. Don't do KFC at all either.

    I'm from New Jersey, so I'm kind of a pizza snob. Pizza Hut and Domino's are abominations. Papa John's isn't too far behind. The little mom-and-pop stores are where it's at, really, but even they're a bit questionable the further you move from the New York area.

    Subway is good now that they fired that asshat Jarred.
    Arby's is still pretty good.

    We have a ton of Pret-A-Manger's here. Expensive and healthy but MAN OH MAN it is the tastiest food and best coffee of any chain around in my opinion. They're always busy so people seem to love it!! Filter coffee is 99p and sometimes the staff just give free food and drink out too when they feel like it!

They have every filling. Lamb and mint sauce. Curried Vegetavles. Stilton/Blue cheese. Pork and cranberry. Sweet, savoury you name it haha!

    Not sure. The only one that was still in Arkansas that was in Hot

    They are rebuilding one location in west Little Rock that burned to

    and one in Bryant. But, for all practical purposes, KFC is GONE from
    central Arkansas.

    Yeah we love a good pasty here in the UK. There are maybe 10 or more takeout Pasty places in York where I live. More so than Starbucks or MacDonalds etc.

    One of my all-time favorite television programs, "Last of the Summer Wine,"
    was filmed in Yorkshire. Looks like a beautiful place.

    A calzone?

    A pasty is just like a Spanish Empanada. Except empanadas are deep frie
    d
    rather than baked like Cornish pasties.

    You're responding to an earlier question which was not being discussed in th
    e
    part of the message you quoted..

    Sorry about that, just thought the Empanada was much more like a Pasty than a Calzone. I love a good Empanada (my folks live in Spain). Apologies for misquoting.

    As if Hawaii is the only place people would want to go on vacation? ;)

    Really. From what I understand, you can NOT bring pets from the mainland when you travel. There's a travel ban, basically to avoid spreading rabies, etc.

    I didn't know that, but I'm not too surprised. I would assume people have
    e
    in Hawaii though?

    I would think so...but my question is, how do they get them there??

    I think newly brought animals are quarinteened(sp) for a period and then released to their owners in Hawaii.

    My mind says I heard or saw on TV something about that many many Years ago.

    Did a quick search of A&W, and it appears that there are a few in this state, and it's all on the north-west side, near our neighboring states. Maybe I am way off bsse on how they are doing.

    The only thing I see KFC combine with around here is Long John Silvers.

From what I remember, they also offer their gyro with the traditional Arby's roast beef, which is not prepared the way gyro meat is typically prepared..

    I like Arby's, but I suppose one negative I can think about it is that since their sandwiches are mainly just roast beef sandwiches, they're just meat and bun and don't have any vegetables on them.. With a hamburger, you at least also get some vegetables (may or may not include things like lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, etc.).

    I've had some of Sonic's shakes. They're not bad, but they taste like they're probably made from powder mixed with water rather than using real ice cream (similar to McDonald's shakes). I tend to prefer Dairy Queen shakes, as they're (probably still) made with real soft-serve ice cream.

    I always thought that you could bring pets, but hey had to be in quaranteen for six months or so. So for most vacationers, it isn't worth it because you'll be back before they're even out of quaranteen. If you're moving there, though, you just have to hand them over for six months.

    Certain things have to be done, multiple rabies vaccines have to be given, The pet has to be microchipped, has to have a blood titer test, and needs to be treated for ticks, all at least 2-weeks to 3 months ahead of time. They also need documentation and health guarantees from a licensed veterinarian.

    Even after the above is done, the pet can be quarantined for up to 5 days. If the above is not done, the pet can be quarantined for up to 120 days. Most pets are released from the quarantine center within hours, however, assuming everything is in order.

    So, basically, yes you can take your pet on vacation to hawaii.

    Fresh still may be a bit better, after you let it cool down a bit. When I worked at Dairy Queen, in order to get fried chicken foods out fast (chicken sandwich, chicken strips), we actually "pre-cooked" it. The breaded chicken stuff was raw, so the fried chicken breasts took about 4 and a half minutes to cook and the chicken strips took about 3 and a half minutes to cook. We'd cook batches of those ahead of time and refrigerate them, so when someone ordered some, to re-heat them, we'd cook them (again) for only a minute and a half. For my lunch breaks, occasionally I had a fresh-cooked (first-cook 4 and a half minute) chicken sandwich, and it was more tender than when it was re-heated later for a minute and a half.

    Mike,

    That they do. :) Which proves the saying "If they don't want us to
    have midnight snacks, why are there lights inside the
    refrigerator/freezer??". <G>

    LOL, ain't that the truth! :D

    I saw a YouTube Video of these 2 cats, Cole (black) and Marmalade
    (orange and white)...and while Cole has mellowed out, Marmalade is still
    rather rambunctious. He figures that any human food is better than
    what's in his dish!!

    Anyway, his humans were prepping a turkey for dinner, and of course, Marmalade wanted a snack. He was told "No"...and the turkey was put in
    the icebox. In the dead of night, you see as if Cole and Marmalade have
    donned night vision goggles, they open the refrigerator door, and the
    caption is "Target Sighted!!". <G>

    Loved them "Belly Bombers"!!!

    We called 'em "sliders," but I have also heard that nickname for them.

    I hadn't heard the term "sliders" until relatively recently. And then when heard that term, I always thought of the TV show..

    I hadn't heard the term sliders until the Harold and Kumar White Castle movie came out. Never knew they were even a thing.

    Chris,

    I hadn't heard the term sliders until the Harold and Kumar White Castle movie C>came out. Never knew they were even a thing.

    Besides "White Castle", I think Arby's and Chick-Fil-A has some sort
    of "sliders" on their menu.

    I remember the Palace chat where pictures were rooms and you could choose, steal or make your own avatar.
    I used to make avatars that blended in perfectly with the scenery and use a non printable character as my name then I would spoof people into thinking I was a wizard.
    I wonder if that is still around, BRB I'll go google it.
    Wow It's still around.

    That's true. But I think user validation is more for preventing abuse via N>creating multiple accounts (though I suppose a person could easily create N>multiple email addresses and use those for validation).

    Well, if I see dupe accounts, all of them will get locked out. The
    only account where I allow simultaneous logons is "Guest".

    Over 30 years ago, one Sysop had just finished creating a bulletin
    called "The Thankless Job -- The Life Of A Sysop". Basically, he
    wondered "why do I keep doing this, and getting all the abuse??". It
    finished with the rare exceptions of a few users who THANKED THEM
    PROFUSELY for what they were providing.

    Sadly, 24 hours after he wrote that, he found out that a close friend,
    with higher than normal access, had shared their logon. He lamented
    "That's forbidden...but it hurts even more, because a trusted friend who
    knew better, went ahead and did it". He then shut his system down, and I
    think got rid of his computer, and never logged on to a BBS again.

    I agree. I think part of the fun of running a BBS is creating it yourself. N>someone else does all the work, I don't think it's really your BBS that you'r N>running. Also, in a way, if you're just going to run a BBS that someone else N>has done all the work for, that's similar to just setting up a stock BBS and N>running it as-is. It's good to put in the work to make the BBS your own.

    Exactly. If someone does the work, it's THEIR setup, and NOT yours.
    Now, if someone does assist in an area of the BBS, I will gladly and
    eagerly "give credit to where credit is due"...as long as I know who to
    give it to. I have a bulletin on the BBS about the "Donations
    Policy"...which also has "A Note Of Thanks"...to many folks over the
    users, who made the BBS what it is today. Many of them are either no
    longer on BBS's, or they've passed away.

    Well I'm not sure I'm in the camp that believes that letting someone use your N>BBS is equivalent to letting them into your home. Some people don't even hos N>their BBS at home.. These days, I've heard of people hosting their BBS on N>cloud services. But aside from that, if someone uses your BBS, they still ha N>fairly limited power, especially if you're using a dedicated BBS machine.

    I've always run my BBS as a hobby...and as a labor of love. After my
    wife and Co-Sysop passed away nearly 11 years ago, I continue it in her
    memory.

    I think a BBS package like Synchronet has fairly good protections against N>someone accessing something outside the BBS on your network. For instance, N>I've seen a lot of instances where bots try to repeatedly log in as 'root', b N>since there's no user named root, they just won't be able to log into the BBS N>And if there did happen to be a user called root, they'd just be a regular BB N>user and wouldn't have any special power.

    Kudos to Digital Man and all the others who work with Synchronet, and
    taking care of the security aspects. I saw one comment from him in
    relation to that, which noted "When we are alerted to a security issue,
    we fix it quickly, and quietly". :)
