KFC used to have regular fryers,  then they switched to pressure fryers.


This is why Popeyes is way better. Regular fryers.


But you know, this stuff, is the root source of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

stopped drinking coffee last Friday but that gave me a splitting head ache so I continued drinking only a little every day.


I have weaned myself off coffee several times, and I find that cutting the amount in half each week for a month works pretty well.

Years ago I cut down to 1-2 cups per day, anyway.


Coffee is DEADLY,

People who drink 2 cups a day noticeably have different sleep state patterns.

It looks and feels like sleep, but their brains do not enter stage 4 and 5 for the normal duration.

So it's like going to the gym all the time, yes,  but you always skip legs. (But for your brain).

Tomorrow, I will have been on them for a week. I also first stopped drinking coffee last Friday but that gave me a splitting head ache so I continued drinking only a little every day.

My esophageal sphincter had got permanently damaged after my first colon cancer because I had been on a type of a type of pain killer that increases stomach acid production.
When I had called the hospital and complained about a new type of stomach pain, they told me to continue on the pain killers, and I did what they told me ...

I noticed that I get hurtburn when I drink coffee with milk - and I've been doing that my whole life. I cant drink black coffee, so add just a small amount of milk nowadays.

I'd been on Naproxen for 5 years straight for my back pains and was told that this must have ruined my stomach. Anyway, 3 years ago I had stomach sleeve surgery, so bye bye stomach - I got rid of most of my problems, including obesity, BUT hurtburn is common side effect of gastric sleeve, so I'm back on omeprazole... ****ing hell...

Eating large quantities of calories from fat, especially saturated fat, loosens the sphincter which keeps the acid down.

 I always thought that about KFC


When I was a kid Kentucky Fried Chicken was great. It had been going downhill for decades when the logo changed to "KFC" and has gotten worse since.
For a while, when you got it immediately fresh and hot it was still good, but honestly it has probably been a decade since I have even tried it.
Luckily, in southeast US there are a lot of options for fried chicken.

McDonald's has one of the most defined delicious-to->slop timeframes


That is true. And it becomes inedible well before a half hour is up.

funny you guys mentioned it - I always thought that about KFC - you get fresh piping hot hot wings - nice. But leave it to cool down - its like eating cold crust dipped in engine oil. Seriously. Engine oil!
I learnt that once years ago, when drove down to kfc, bought a bucket of it, then drove back home. By the time we sat to eat it I was shocked how aweful it is.

Of course, Japan has almost perfect weather -- when I'm not there. :(

I'm in a period of problems with heartburn, so I wouldn't have been able to sleep in flat hotel beds without waking up sore in the throat anyway.

You need to take some proton pump inhibitors. After a week of taking, you will feel better, but it takes months/years to permanently lower stomach acids.
I had this issue for years.

Interesting insights, thanks! How hard is the learning curve for this split layout? How long did it take for your colleagues to get back to their normal typing speed? Given the high price, I wouldn't want to buy it just to end up leaving it on a shelf.
