Good but a bit overpriced.

Then again most pasta is seriously overpriced.

If you dont get protein on your dish its not badly priced (7-9$) protein adds $4± and isnt worth imo

One of the few chains I will go out of my way for. Especially if you have people with dietary restrictions with you.

Is this a real place? I’ve never seen one before, I just have a passion for noodles.

Yeah, it’s real. It’s also in 31 states: https://locations.noodles.com/index.html

Also they have noodles.com which seems bonkers.

What do you usually order? Because the Asian inspired dishes are just so mid, but there are so many fantastic Asian restaurants in my area that Noodles had no chance on that. I’ve wanted to see if they can make the buffalo mac with the impossible chicken but they were out of it last time I went in.

Although, as a vegetarian, given the choice between Subway and Noodles and Co, I think I’d prefer the noods.

As somone who works there imo our fresca, rosa and garlic cream are prob the best dishes outside of the asian options… tho japanese pan noodles are the dish i like the most (yes obviously real asian restaurants are better ik)

U should be able to put any of the proteins on any of the dishes, sucks they were out of impossable last time u went

Also (depending on the location) our salads are pretty good too imo

T-Mobile still sucks, it takes a whole 4.3 minutes on a good day to send a text message to my family on earth.

Looks like so many sci-fi stories. Take exact same social organization as we currently have, replace car with spaceship, dollars with credits, towns with planets and done.

I understanding this, we are human living human lives from a human perspective in a human world. We know very little else so of course this shapes expectations and also imagination is left human centric.

Its been nagging me alot, even to the point where nowadays i started to cringe when the DockerDonna had their technobable for the sake of techobable. I shouldn’t cringe cause i know how uneconomically insane the alternative is.

Ive been trying to work on something where the -first principles of science are inherently non human (but still hinged on real theoretical scientific ideas in the same universe),

I limited myself to make electronics and some other common human stuff to be rare exotic tech that most species wouldn’t know off. This means, no screens, no computers, no conventional gadgets like communicators, no cars, no spaceships, It forces me to really think trough how exactly a species might have archived an advanced stage with respect to their individual cultures and past.

The problem is its a behemoth i may never Finnish, re-inventing language from the ground up is pretty hard as is, don’t even get me started on my attempt of creating alien mathematics and number systems for a species supposedly infinitely more clever then i will ever be.

Think about all that distance. If a whole separate government didn’t develop I’d be shocked.

And the head of government on Mars is the same guy as the one that is running X. And he’s responsible for the oxygen you breath. If that doesn’t fill you with confidence.

They’d need an epstein drive to gain independence though, no way mars would be rich enough by itself to win a conventional war for independence.

There wouldn’t be a conventional war because they’re on Mars. Deployment time from one planet to the other would be so long I don’t even think you could keep the people motivated enough to fight.
