The way I heard it described is someone not only cut in line but then got all picky about the way the steak was cooked further holding up the line.

No cutting in line.

Customer couldn't understand why another got his steak first.

"Why he get his steak 'fo me?

"Uh, he ordered his rare. Yours is still cooking."

"Say Whuuuut!?

Fifty people proceed to brawl and bang each other over the head with tables and chairs.

Reporter is probably on the bubble for calling one of them a 'knucklehead'.

Maybe get a two week stint in woke academy.

Spotify is removing Neil Young from the platform following his ultimatum.


Turns out, Young sold his music catalog last year, to a company in partnership with Blackrock.

Looks as though it was a planned departure.

“Do you really think it’s a coincidence that days after Neil Young’s music was pulled off of Spotify he debuts a 4-month free trial to any person who wants to sign up for Amazon music — who has struggled to gain market share and has long-standing connections with all of the big money people in the game?”

Bensalem is Philly-lite; I always thought that's just how you ate dinner in the Philly area. Dinner, mob brawl, dessert.

Also, I like my steak rare, but I'm not going to trust a Golden Corral speedy cook with that; you're pretty much leaving your fate in the hands of Tom Brady to do so.

Didn’t the Governor say that wasn’t gonna happen again if they got hit by another winter storm? What a sh**hole state!

To be fair, it didn't happen again. In a state with 29 million people, 70,000 outages in a statewide storm is probably within expectation. It's down to under 40,000 now. They were caused by ice on power lines, tree limbs down etc. No real problems with power capacity.

This storm was widespread, but it wasn't that bad for temp or precipitation. The Texas power grid still sucks, this storm just didn't stress it much. Some improvements have been made, but there was a lot of political posturing by our politicians pointing fingers and trying to make it look like they were doing something. The Governor and state legislators need to be held accountable.

Over 300,000 without power as major winter storm slogs east



... the number of power outages in Tennessee had spiked to 135,000 on Thursday night

... Outage numbers were also climbing in Ohio (76,000), West Virginia (22,000) Pennsylvania (22,000)

...In Texas, Arkansas and Kentucky, where outage numbers peaked around 70,000, 25,000 and 20,000, respectively, earlier Thursday, they were slowly declining through the evening as freezing rain transitioned more to sleet and snow and then tapered off. The outage count in Texas had dropped to below 25,000 and to under 15,000 in Arkansas and Kentucky Thursday night.

Hope you guys are all staying safe and warm.
