Slashdot Mirror

    Shit. I should have put in a buy order for Subway stock last night, so it would have been fulfilled this morning. I could have put my sell order in tonight to be fulfilled tomorrow morning, and made some quick cash. :)

    Well, it doesn't matter anyways, they're not a public company.

    Hmmmmm.. Slashdot for pump & dump. Geeknet could make some serious bank, and if they included subscribers in on it, we'd all do well. :)

The first subway I tried was in Berlin, Germany and it was somewhat daunting experience for someone who hadn't got used to the system. Previously I've only used systems where you pick what you want and get it.

But now there was tons of choices and moving around to get the whole trip finished. The lady over the counter would ask me tons of questions - like do I want white italian, parmesan & oregano, wheat or sesame bread. Southwest sauce, sweet onion, barbecue sauce or light mayo. Cheddar cheese, onions, lettuce, pickles, green peppers, jalapenos, with a choice of meat. Like pepperoni, salami, tuna, chicken, roast beef, meatballs, steak and cheese... ham or spicy italian... do I want extras like double cheese or bacon? Did someone say double bacon? Footlong or 6-inch...

The system greatly confused me. But being a warrior of food, I survived. I got my delicious subway. And you know what? Ever since I've loved subways. It is absolutely delicious. Chipotle southwest with ranch or light mayo is the ultimate sauce. What I cannot, however, understand is why would anyone put MUSTARD on a subway?

Oh dear god, American subway has PIZZA SUB? Why don't we have that here?? Aah, spicy pepperoni, cheese and marinara sauce. Do want.

Interesting story regarding pizzas, sandwiches and subways by the way. My old girlfriend used to LOVE tuna subways, while I only ate ham & cheese. She always laughed about it and told me to try something new. Too bad I didn't. But a few years later, I hit the wall. I could not eat anymore ham on pizzas or subways. It just started to taste like shit. I don't know why. But then I discovered the magical taste of tuna subways and pizzas along with salami and pepperoni and bacon. So for all of you who only eat one kind of ingredient all the time - do try something new. You only have one life to enjoy!

Last reply; this is getting painful. The overly simplistic viewpoint was for your benefit. The whole point was that your "sugar" weight gain was temporary...so who cares? I'd have been more interested if you'd debunked my own weight loss. Take a look at the twinkie diet; it's obviously not for peope to follow, but it further proves the point: http://articles.latimes.com/2010/dec/06/health/la-he-fitness-twinkie-diet-20101206 Regarding sodium, is subway a neutral enough nutrition source for you? I can pick out other sandwiches which have literally double the sodium content for the same size serving of bread, but I don't need to. Tell me again that bacon is higher sodium than bread (I can only assume you meant for similar serving sizes...even if you up the mass of bacon by 50%, the bread still comes out higher). Hint - you can't always taste the sodium in food. http://www.subway.com/nutrition/NutritionList.aspx?id=breadtop&Countrycode=USA Also bear in mind that people tend to include other things when they eat bread; it's not a direct swap out. There are many confounding factors.

No. The BMT doesn't have bacon. (BMT==Biggest, Meatiest, Tastiest)

Yeah, it sure is.

For those of you who don't like long commutes and take the time to throw a pity party every time you encounter someone who doesn't have one, may I recommend a few career alternatives:

See something for everyone.

If only I had thought of that 20 years ago when disco was 'in' and I was a uni (college if you live in the US).

Wow, thats some seroious weight loss. Jared? Is that you?

he gained his C-level fame for winning at a difficult quiz show.
Unlike others who got their fame from losing 500lbs eating mediocre hoagies, singing so horribly everybody couldn't help but laugh, or crashing at the guest house of a murderous football player

How hard would it be for some company to open a fast-food restarant that has healthy food? It's not like it takes longer to fix healthy food than it takes to make a Big Mac. I don't mind paying more for better ingredients. Instead of trying to blame people who eat at McDonalds, why don't you blame the "healthy" restaurants who won't meet consumer demand for drive throughs and quick "to-go" meals?


Here's one. These guys aren't bad either (in fact, they were run by McDonald's, last time I checked).

I'm not sure what your hangup on drive-thrus is. Last time I used a drive through for lunch it took way longer than walking into the store and getting lunch to go.

Lunch is a social occasion and a chance to get away from the office. I go to lunch with coworkers and friends who come to the office to unwind. I can't show up at a restaurant with a bagged lunch in hand. Nor do I want to become one of those pathetic type-A people who eats lunch while working, responding to e-mails, and answering the phone.


Well, yes you can show up at a restaurant with a bagged lunch -- what's stopping you? The staff at McD's surely won't care.

It is your choice to go along with the rest of your coworkers and eat out all the time. I'll be honest -- I do it too (although not at McD's). You could choose to use a break room or bench somewhere away from your desk to enjoy a brought-from-home lunch. You could even encourage your coworkers to do the same so they could join you.

What would Jared do?

From the perspective of a DNS server or client, what's the difference between a subdomain and a domain? Isn't "slashdot.org" a subdomain of "org"?

These are subdomains: sub 1 sub 2 sub 3

[Hear that, Jared? :P]

What's Subway got to do with that? :-)

for 100 million dollars, i'd sell out :(

I wouldn't sell out, even if you tempted me with the tastiest sub in the world and wash it down with the best damn beer in the world then handed me the keys to the nice car you delivered it all in.

on second thought...

Head on over to Subway and get the Troll Tuesday special. Don't forget to ask for your free side of goatse!
