Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

No. Fuck that. My imagination is conjuring up a nightmare. If I see it real, even if it doesn't look as scary, then suddenly it becomes actually real. I'll pass.

I have a friend who lived there years ago and the heat was the only thing he really remembers. I wouldn't be able to deal with that at all dude. I'd fucking melt!

We have heat and sushi. Lots and lots of sushi and japanese establishments here. And increasingly Indian restaurants too. Actually if you're a foodie, it's not a bad place, but Los Angeles beats it. As does Toronto.

Huh, never would have expected all the Japanese places. That's pretty interesting. Toronto does have an insane variety of food but I can't afford a single fuckin bit of it. Shit is way too expensive here. Delivery for like McDonalds is $30+ now.

PHX has a big asian and south asian diaspora population, so you find japanese/chinese/indian/pakistani (I actually found Afghani burger wraps here in PHX, try them out if you ever find a place with them!) restaurants everywhere here. Almost as much as Mexican. But Its not as good as LA, where you can find every cuisine ever conceived by humans. And inflation is just as bad down here, I mean I don't order out much anymore as its always 30 bucks + here too!

Huh, well today I learned! I know a lot about America overall but specifics of cities get lost sometimes.

Also yeah fuck food prices. I'm exhausted.
