I’ve come around to appreciating In-n-out fries. Not my first choice, but I enjoy most all shades of fry.

I don't really like fries in general. I almost never get them with a fast food order. I'd rather have another burger than an order of fries and I'd likely save some calories in the process. I have no idea why people give so much of a **** about fries. The best fries vs the worst fries are almost the same ****ing thing.

That said, I get fries at in and out more than any other fast food place I go. Not because they are so good but because it rounds out the meal there better than other places I go.

Also I call In and Out "In and Wait" because they are the slowest fast food place I've ever ****ing seen. They have a long *** line because they are slow as ****. Their food is 100% mediocre.

Call your shot — what will the trade end up being?

Here’s my guess:

Fournier
Grimes
Toppin
3 unprotected Knicks FRPs
3 FRPs Knicks have from other teams

Would much prefer swaps to protected (other teams’) picks, personally.

I think you’re in the ballpark, but I would shoot for:
-unprotected ‘23/‘26/‘28 picks
-swaps in ‘24/‘25/‘27 (I think it would be good to spread some of the picks out, I would generally prefer, say, two picks a year rather than three one year and one the next)
-The Mavs ‘23 pick (I am all the way down for loading up on picks from this draft)
-Toppin, and one of Quickley or Grimes (preferred). Bundle that incoming guard to LA so they give us ‘27-‘29 swap(s)/pick(s).

At least they are well-staffed. The Carl’s Jr. by my house will literally have a 20-25 minute wait if there’s four cars in drive-thru. Last time I pulled up to the speaker to order an Oreo shake, the guy asked me to hold for a moment, I said okay, but five minutes later, still hadn’t come back and I bailed out of there.

Maybe three people work there at a time max IMO.

So I might buy a share in a cow. Anyone do this? Grass fed…14 day dry aged…get 100 pounds butchered for $975. 40 pounds of ground beef and then 60 pounds of other good ****…rib eyes, porterhouses, etc. And for the reason you mentioned…stuff has gotten so expensive. Five Guys might be the worse of them. I was so. Annoyed by their price the other day, I took like 14 scoops of peanuts to go.

I got a half a cow earlier from a neighbor and split it with my SIL & BIL. Think it came out to a little over $5/lb. I haven’t bought beef at a grocery store in years, and nothing I get at restaurants compares to what I eat at home. I rarely order steak anymore, so that saves money too lol.
 
Fwiw, you’re paying more for grass fed when it typically doesn’t taste as good as a conventionally fed beef, and for their entire lives outside of finishing they are usually eating the same foods. Grass fed beef is usually leaner though, so that might be your preference. I like em fatty.

Grass fed AND grass finished is outstanding and uncommon. Still plenty fatty with big impact on flavor and tenderness.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding what a pick swap is, but don’t we essentially get nothing if our pick is better than NY’s pick, and isn’t it a virtual certainty our picks will be better than NY’s in ‘24 and ‘25? Wouldn’t pick swaps in the later ‘20s be more valuable?
