They are specialty ice cubes tho. I would buy these if I was doing a cocktail party or something. Making super clear large ice cubes isn't as easy as is sounds.

Wife walks in during the TWENTY SECOND CUTSCENE, whistles appreciatively and leaves to give me privacy at the obviously-porn game I'm playing.
150+ hours of playtime. No other nudity, tasteful fade-to-black on the only other intimate scene. She didn't care, but I NEEDED her to understand the perfect embarrassing timing.

I went like a week with some severe sleep deprivation, until I finally hallucinated at work. Weird experience. Saw the Hat Man. But that itself was super weird, because it wasn't a scary thing at all.
Basically, have you ever gone into an employee only area someplace, and accidentally ran into an actual employee there? That weird instance of, "um...you're not supposed to be here"
That was me with the Hat Man. Dude looked confused and unsure of why the hell I was looking at him suddenly.

This right here, those commenters don’t know what raw meat looks like.
When I make brisket, I cheat like a motherfucker: Sous vide for 36-48 hours at 155 degrees, refrigerate overnight, then smoke/bake for three hours at 300 to give it a nice bark. I had a friend who was livid with me for doing it the easy way. Didn’t stop him from eating it though

#2 US McDonald's has an exclusive contract with the machine manufacturer. The manufacturer pays McDonald's to ensure that their franchise owners *only* use their service for repairs, which the franchise owners have to call and pay for because McDonald's mandates a working ice cream machine. The purpose of the machine is not to make ice cream, its purpose is to require repairs

"Capitalism breeds innovation" - this is an example of that innovation.

ADMNtek
I also read somewhere that many times when they say the machine is broken, it actually isn't. It's just an easy excuse. One of my local gas stations bought a soft serve machine, and one of the employees says dealing with it is a nightmare. It needs to be fully cleaned every day, and it takes quite a while. And you need to sell a lot of it to make it worth it to even turn on for the day.

It's also barely ice cream. So much oil and thickeners, tastes like absolute shit. You don't notice as much if you're acclimated, I guess
mrthewhitee
There was a guy who made a small USB type device that would read the error codes and tell the user what it meant and the manufacturer sued them to stop stores from using it.
It didn't fix anything it just told people what was wrong but they couldn't allow that cause then the stores might figure out how to fix it themselves or work around the error codes.

They maker of the device eventually won the suit, as I understand it, but I dunno what came of it.
rbudrick
Half the time they are also working fine, but the required frequent cleaning process is huge pain in the dick and most locations are chronically understaffed.
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
The cleaning cycle is four hours. The machine self-cleans. Its usually set to self clean overnight. The code is set yo make the machine 'break' at the end of the cycle.
rbudrick
I have never heard of it being automatic, not saying yer wrong tho. Most descriptions, esp in articles concerning the lawsuit for the add-on device that popped up described it as labor-intensive.
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
If its something that you can leave running overnight its not labor intensive.
Taylor C602 uses an overnight self-cleaning heat treatment cycle.
AnxiousCuttlefish
Came here to say just this. Add on the possibility of looser food safety regulations from a region still caught using lead based paint on kids' toys from time to time, and I suspect they just aren't bothering to clean the machines. 🤢
Dracology
isnt that how most companies work? Like doesn't every store with a pepsi machine only get repairs done by Pepsi? But the machines still work all the same.
WellAckchually
No, most soda dispensers are generic and can be serviced by different maintenance companies. The syrup just comes in bags you swap out. The biggest exception is Coke at McDonald's. They have an entire different machine for just regular and diet Coke that gets regularly tuned by someone from Coca-Cola. The one at my store was locked and my manager said not even the owner had a key.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Probably because Pepsi *wants* you to get your Pepsi. But the ice cream machine company doesn't sell the ice cream, so they don't give a shit.
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
And McDonald's isn't an ice-cream company either, they sell burgers. McDonald's earns money by bring paid to install the machines, and the manufacturer earns money from the 'repair' fees.
mohavewolfpup
Which is amusing because iirc the history of the founder, he sold ice cream machines and blenders?
Userlivewire
What advantage is this to McDonalds? It simply hurts their brand name.
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
McDonald's earns more from the arrangement than they make selling ice-cream, and nobody goes to McDonald's for ice-cream. Its money. Its always the money.

It could also be a lever to use against franchise owners for that reason: "Pay the repairman, you're making corpodaddy look bad!". A way of juicing franchise owners for cash, shrinking their share of the profits, etc.

ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
The same company (Taylor) provides the machines to Dairy Queen and a load of other companies, and to McDonald's outside the US.
The other companies/countries do not have the same kickback+exclusive_repair arrangement going on, therefore there is no incentive for the company to rig the machines to need repairs. Its not even the machine itself, its the software.
Which is why only McDonald's has this 'problem' with their machines.
Its corruption all the way down.
Lutki
Yea i remember reading that there was a community out there that figured out workarounds and custom software for franchises to fix their machine and McDonald's came back and explicitly banned it as part of their franchise agreement.
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
Yep. Which im turn led to court cases.
The issue is that the machine is rigged to 'break' at the completion of its cleaning cycle. The staff then have to either initiate a new 4 hour cleaning cycle which might 'break' the machine again or call Taylor which will send out a tech (costing the franchise owner $$$$) and the tech then plugs in a small device to reset the machine and 'fix' it.
If custom software is found on the machine then Taylor deems the machine to have been tampered with.

#40 for those that don’t know: diabetes can lead to dead nerves. This means you might not notice wounds on your feet, which can become necrotic.

When I stub my toe I call it a spontaneous peripheral neuropathy check.
FoamingToad
Was on Oxaliplatin (chemo) for a few months. It gives you peripheral neuropathy, particularly when it's cold. Still here though so chalking it up as a win.
GuapoGuayaba
Is this why foot amputation is so common in common in folks that require dialysis?
cheezmuncha
Yep. Peripheral nerves get damaged, but so do the blood vessels. So not only do you not notice the initial wound, but the healing is very poor and slow due to the damaged blood vessels. Then, chronic ulcers develop as the skin can’t regrow and heal properly. Infections develop as bacteria love sugar (higher in poorly controlled diabetes), and can become chronic, and often bury deeper than the skin and into the underlying bone (osteomyelitis). When it reaches the point of no return = amputation.

Because if you have dead nerves, such that you won't notice wounds on your feet, you might not go to a podiatrist in the first place. So this dentist wants to check while you're there anyway.
iusedtodream
This, AND my dentist does a moderate, non-invasive cancer screening on my nose, mouth, throat, and neck once a year. Let them help you!
MadamPuddifoot
That's different, if would be within their scope of practice. There's laws about scope, and I'm pretty sure feet don't fall under a dentist's.
MadamPuddifoot
That's gotta be outside their scope of practice, though. Which opens them up to liability.
QotU
Hun, you are allowed to say no.
cadesama
They aren't going to diagnose or treat diabetes, just offer referrals. Dentists are also now screening for DV, since they have opportunity to notice who is maybe getting hit in the face a lot and offer additional resources for help.
