Can’t make a comment like that without saying where has better bbq!

While you're correct that cross contamination is a huge issue, it's the lack of proper plastic recycling infrastructure that keeps most localities in the US from recycling types 3-7. Once China stopped importing our trash, it meant that it didn't matter how you sent in your plastic recycling- it was getting sent to the landfill by the recycling center anyway.

Attempting to shame individuals into having to separate and haul their own recycling is also an extremely inefficient and ineffective way to go about improving recycling rates. If you want people to recycle en masse, make it free, convenient, and accessible. If poor people who don't have cars, work multiple jobs, and barely have time to take care of their kids can't do it, then your solution has elements of classism, racism, and sexism, that will render it moot.

Instead, demand that producers, not consumers, take responsibility for their own waste. Producer take back laws effectively place the time, energy, and financial externalities of dealing with waste back onto the producer, as opposed to the time strapped, survival focused, resource limited consumer who should be presented with better choices anyway.

They use Craig’s ice cream which is a vegan ice cream that’s actually pretty good. I think they’ve got chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and a Maui-banana flavor shake but I’ve only tried chocolate

Article says it’s still being investigated.

Oh ok yea that makes more sense then for sure

We didn't get vegan food. I understand that you would expect to pay more for that. I certainly won't be going back to Fatburger, though. I could feed the whole family for $30 (after tip) just down the road at Sergio's and it would have been a lot higher quality. I just can't pay $50 for what we got there. If it was all really good, then maybe. Other than the burgers, though, it all tasted like buffet quality food.

I will say that we didn't try their shakes, though, so I can't speak to those.

How do they make vegan shakes with ice cream and milk?

I can't tell if this is a bit or not...

They are nice! Good luck to you two!

I do. ;-D Actually, there's a good allrecipes.com one for slow cooker borscht, just cut the vinegar to 3tbsp, 6 tbsp is excessive.

Genuinely funny, BUT..

Sadly, many people actually think this, and many more support policies that are in line with this.

If Richmond is a popular and attractive place to live, we should... Build much more housing, attract more business, upgrade infrastructure, blow tons of money on public transportation.

The best thing for the city to do is capitalize on the boom of people, and not resist it.

>" Tons of people's commutes run straight through campus" there is your problem, -VCU didn't think it through when they started building up the campus, all they saw were dollar signs.

Just so we may all understand more fully the perspective this hot take has come from… what in your opinion is “great” bbq?

Most of my days are unlucky

I hope you never have an unlucky day.

Went to Maryland briefly and decided randomly to stop at Total Wine....

​

and damn does it make the ABC store look like its run by the government. Honestly, i haven't really shopped for etoh outside of VA and NC, and what I felt was what I imagine what it was like for Nikolai Krushchev when he visited a grocery store.

​

Like holy shit the selection.... I even found baijiu, which the ABC doesn't even list on their website, and was able to pick up some serious cognacs and scotch's that ABC never has. of which Total Wine had like 5 of each available. And there was this lady letting me taste test like 4 different bourbons. Nevermind the aesthetic was just like shopping at a normal place, not the soulless mental institution vibe the ABC is going for.

Driving back home, in the rain, to our controlled state was depressing. But my alcohol shelf is looking might more prestigious right now.

We're looking at The Village at Miller's Lane. They're townhouses, which is exactly what the two of us have wanted for years. It's in Henrico, just outside of the city, near 64, so it's almost exactly perfect. We got so lucky to find it.

Where are the violence interrupters mayor stonebrain is hiring ?

So meals for 3 people plus an order of wings—I think $50’for that is pretty normal esp for vegan food today. Not saying I’m a fan of paying that much but I gotta say that I’ve paid that same type of price in other places. But the plus side of this place is that their shakes are actually thick shakes made with ice cream. Lots of vegan shakes I’ve had here are just made with milk and ice or are just super thin. It’s awesome and rare to get legit vegan burgers and shakes in one spot. Hopefully vegan prices will continue to even out over time cause we need more vegan options in general out here

>... just wait until the New Yorkers hear about it.

Is this part of the satire? I swear almost everyone I meet is from New York anymore.

You wouldn’t see that effect of it for another 10-15 years, not 6-8 months.

Why are people so afraid to use it?! I'm always in and out bypassing 10 people in line. It's great
