The train-ticket isn't part of the final price or cost of the food; it part of the cost of a night out. Where we eat doesn't change the fact that we need to pay for the train to see the movie.

The Dutch wikipedia on fries is a bit longer than the English version, guess four times the size; so yes, a "local" obsession. That local is my complete country and our neighbors, but on the other side of the ocean they'd still call it local. And potatoes may not be as plentiful and cheap there as I imagined.

Missing my point again: If a restaurant owns and has to pay for a parking lot, that cost becomes part of the price you pay for what they sell you. Whether you drove there yourself in a car or not. This whole thread (or rather, the part I've specifically been discussing since the start) is all about the cost of a meal sold to you as a restaurant patron.

And getting there is your own problem, and not part of the price. Whining about parking. With your reasoning, you'd add the price of your clothing to going there.

I wasn't talking about you paying for parking, I was talking about the restaurant owning a parking lot, and them paying for it is reflected in their operating cost, and thus the price they charge you for the meal they're going to sell you. You pay the same for the meal whether you got there by car (and used their "free" parking lot) or got there by walking.

Clearly. It's called trolling.

Also,
He must be feeling lazy today. He also copy/pasted it from the source. Don't bother asking how I know this but that's the first time he has ever put a space before an ellipsis on anything he's posted on this website.

That's ... pretty observant of you to notice that I always use a space before an ellipsis.
And that it's a "genuine" ellipsis character rather than my usual three dots (I store future TotDs in a Word document and it auto converts quotes, double quotes, and ellipses which is a PITA most of the time ...

What do you guys use for your git extension(s) in VSCode. There's a veritable crap-load to pic from, and I'd like to avoid installing crap extensions.

The native integration is enough for basic Git related tasks, but when you involve teams and more advanced use cases for the Git (branch-history, file-history, reviews) I think it is not clean enough.
I have been using GitLens extension, and it has worked perfectly for me. It provides in-file support for version overview; Git blame stuff.
