Do yourselves a favor and watch the Battlestar Galactica reboot from the 2000s. It'll scratch that itch quite a bit, I promise.

You all don't seem to understand, this is just the cost of progress!

A loaded baked potato (butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, salt/pepper) is usually a side dish when we have "special" meals like holidays or anniversaries or whatever and I think that's what OP was goin for?

On my Sony Bravia running Android you can just disable the Samba app from running same as you'd disable any app in Android.

Yeah that makes sense. Like I said if they're that busy I'll just go somewhere else.

Idk every time I've gone inside when a line is like this there won't be many people inside but the order will still take forever for some reason.

If there's a line like this in the drive through I just move on. The inside is gonna be even slower than just waiting for drive through.

Ignoring trains for a minute, there are even examples of towns in America being against new highways for the same reason. Breezewood, Pennsylvania is the town you see in that one meme image of "america". The state did some weird tax/federal funding loop shenanigans by routing a highway through some little pit stop town and, now that the laws have been relaxed, the county and the businesses don't care to fix it.

Although laws have been relaxed since then, local businesses, including many traveler services like fast food restaurants, gas stations and motels, have lobbied to keep the gap and not directly connect I-70 to the Turnpike, fearing a loss of business. In order for a bypass to be considered, Breezewood's own Bedford County must propose it, which is "just not an issue that really appears on the radar for us," Donald Schwartz, the Bedford County planning director, said in 2017.[1]

I've read articles in the past about high speed trains and/or just new train lines in general would get held up by little towns who didn't want to lose the commuter traffic since it was the only thing keeping them afloat. There are too many towns that exist literally just to serve motorists and now nobody wants to get rid of them.

Sorry lol it's a quote from a cartoon called Archer.

Seriously. I hate when people assume default settings are the only option. You don't even need a Plex account to set up Plex. It will just be less seamless and user friendly. Never adopt the server, configure these via localhost (ssh tunnel works) and then set up your networking. Don't even need to update it, it will run for as long as the database stays stable. Which should be years or more.
