Hasta La Gadget!

A McDonald’s employee recently hosted an IAmA questionaire on Reddit (basically an “ask me anything”) about his experience working for the chain. If you’re expecting him to rip apart the company, think again — user GamesMisconduct63 actually likes his job a lot, crediting the great employees that he works with. But he was still able to share a lot of interesting tidbits about the biggest restaurant chain in the country.

At the job, GameMisconduct63 has gotten ice cream thrown at him, cursed at and been told that someone would kill him. Someone has also attempted to pay in board game money.

While he can only speak for his location in Ohio, he sets the record straight about tampering with food. “Contrary to popular belief, NOBODY (at our location, at least) would ever, ever mess with the food that is going to a customer.That’t like the biggest dick move ever.” If burgers are already made, this particular franchise lets burgers sit in the steamer for 10 minutes maximum. He claims it takes about an hour before the burgers lose their “structural integrity.” His McDonald’s (one of the top 500 in America) also has someone clean the tables in the lobby every 10 minutes as well as the floors if needed.

Who would have thought that hackers would need a special pair of glasses to help them get their nefarious objectives achieved? Well, here we are with JINS making an announcement that come July 2nd, they will put up for sale a limited release of 1,500 pairs of the “JINS PC for Hackers” glasses. I wonder whether your regular programming jock would find this pair useful, never mind that whatever he does are just all spreadsheets and word processors, instead of busy circumventing whatever security measures that have been put in place by the government.

It is a good thing however, that JINS drew the line clearly right from the get go, where the term “hackers” here refers to someone with a whole lot of experience and skill when it comes to using computers and navigating through networks, compared to the glory hunters that border on the criminal which are portrayed on media channels. The glasses will feature a single lens that stretches far out over your eyes, making sure you have optimal field of vision, and the arms of the glasses will also connect around your temple. Lightly tinted, the lens intend to limit the amount of blue light that are often emitted by computer monitors. They cost $125 a pop if you are interested.

It was a mother’s ultimate sacrifice.

A tornado spawned by Tropical Storm Debby ripped through the oak trees and barbed-wire fence near Heather Town’s mobile home in Venus, Fla. In what must have been a moment of instinct, she grabbed her 3-year-old daughter and clutched the child in her arms, Bay News 9 reports.

Moments later, Town’s home was thrown 200 feet into the woods by the powerful storm, according to Fox 13.
