I grew up on Iliff Street, right in the middle of the ashes that up until a few nights ago, was a sunkissed neighborhood known as Pacific Palisades.

There is apparently a well-documented history of why fast food restaurants don’t serve hot dogs. This all sounds like B.S. to me. Very easy to make a decent dog, grilled or otherwise. copilot.microsoft.com/shares/BeRfF...
Why don't any fast food restaurants have hot dogs or sausages?

Man, once you get used to oat milk in coffee, any coffee without it tastes absolutely awful. Can’t tell how much of it is the oatiness vs the small amount of sugar.

Just to recap, Seahawk fans, the Rams threw a slant at the goal line and scored, and then tried to run it in later and fumbled. Perfectly reasonable calls, just as they were ten years ago.
