Former Steak n Shake employee required to pay 80K in lawsuit for claiming the restaurant had worms in its food.



Guess she found out the power of social media.

How many SnS are left? Food was decent service was awful. Currently they are trying to copy the Chick-Fil-A "operator" model but are getting few takers.

I don't know. Their model is like an old diner really. But then they were founded in 1934. I didn't even know they were changing anything.

They seem to have gotten caught in a low-price trap. Lots have closed hence the attempt to change the model. The one by me was always busy then just closed.

Whatever else Elon Musk may or may not have going for him, he sure has style.

What Elon Musk has built on the remote mudflats at the southern tip of Texas is astonishing: gantries, fuel storage tanks, an Airstream trailer village, and a silver rocket straight out of Buck Rogers—all fronted by neon letters that spell out "Starbase."

Elon Musk hosted SNL May 8th.

I only caught his opening monologue but he came off as a bit eccentric yet very genuine.

I just read an article on the DOZENS of shootings in Chicago this weekend. Apparently 3 are classified as ‘mass shootings’. Article linked to another article about rampant crime in Portland. You get what you vote for….

But they did find time to rename Lake Shore Drive! Not like they are ignoring things.

What a weak post
Lets blame Dems for all crime
Its absurd
Its the republicans against gun control
Its actually the Republican party that is the anti police party
Look how much the republican party hates the Capital Police force
Look how much the protesting Trumpers hate the Capital police force
To blame all crime on Dems is in such a short post is LAZY.
Everybody is against crime including Dems and republicans

The Biden infrastructure bill will actually increase police funding. This is one of the reasons Republicans are against the bill. Republicans are actually threatening to defund the police, not Dems.

We just had a GOP President for four years. Why didn’t the “law and order” guy lift a finger to fix this?

I know lots of people who live in Chicago. Never hear any complaints about shootings from them...

Canada 116 degrees
WTF
Its way north of me
I'm in Cheyenne. Cool temps during the day, cold at night
Loving this weather
Glad I'm not in hot baking Canada.
Have to imagine anybody living in the Canadian section of 116 degree heat wave are no longer doubting Global Warming
