They've got an interesting menu that's found a way to "reinvent" the taco, which is my main qualm with people citing Torchy's and the like as examples of what a taco is. I'm just a purist in this matter. Shouldn't take anyone more than two seconds to walk up to a taco menu and decide, nor should a taco ever be more than $2. Taco Bell for the win |

Taco Bell for the win Man, that menu takes me a solid five minutes to navigate these days. What happened to those guys? |

They now have a breakfast taco where the shell is a fried egg. And a quesadilla with fried chicken in it. |

As I was packing my cable boxes, I thought I'd do a little head-to-head and comparing A/V quality on Fios broadcast "Game of Thrones" and Amazon's HBO streaming channel pissed me off a bit. Amazon is so much better, I can't believe I waited this long to lose cable. For those on the fence: Just do it. |

*youll get great streaming quality if your ISP isn't throttling you. My HD content on Netflix looks awesome sometimes. |

Cable quality is dogshit. Streaming absolutely trounces it. |

I was just about to cancel my Comcast and switch my internet to CenturyLink. Like, I was within 1 minute of completing the order. Then I discovered I'm on a 2-year contact with Comcast, not a 1-year, so I can't cancel without paying an early termination fee until this summer. |

Has the service been less that what was advertised, regular issues, etc.? There could be an out of the contract. |

I just hate paying for it, and I hate dealing with Comcast; I called them today and it was the same nightmare it always is. I almost never watch anything on cable at this point. |

At what point (if ever) does the carrying cost of the contrast outpace the cancellation fee? |

Well, it sounds like in three months it'll be a net even if you do decide to quit. Emancipation is just around the corner. |
