...so linux crashed and rebooting here?

Errmm. I'm told that Linux does not crash.

at least it's linux

I'm just glad it's not Windows.

Is this Burger King?

No, this is GRUB!

Likely, but not necessarily. The grand unified bootloader boots a great many things.

Maybe there was a power outage. There's a good chance this is in the US of A. Maybe a geoguesser can confirm the location.

I started tinkering with Linux 9 years ago. I have compiled a driver into the kernel that caused kernel panics. But when using out of the box distros I don't recall having a crash that needed reboot. I've had a couple of lockups that were solved by changing to an alternate tty login and restarting the display manager, or doing a forced logout, but not in several years at least.

I was using Linux and Windows for work, they stopped offering the Linux application I used, so moved to Windows for work only. Its hella janky most days, I can't believe Microsoft thinks this is a mature operating system.

Kind of weird how GRUB is "BURG" backwards...

Is that in India?

You have been told wrong. I've been using Linux for about 20 years now, and while it doesn't crash as often as windows, I've certainly had my share of Linux crashes.

Likely a dead storage medium

Surprisingly this is not actually an inappropriate thing to display there, seeing as they do indeed sell grub.

Welcome to Gruber Gnu, have it your way

10243 Grand Ave, Sun City, AZ 85351, United States of America

You almost murdered me just now with a tuna fish sandwich.

GRand Unified Burger-joint?

I wonder how many non tech people thought it was their new slogan.

Threre used to be a fork of grub called burg. They lost a great opportunity there

gruber knig

BURG stands for Boot UR GRUB

And GRUB stands for GRand Unified BURGer

Welcome to Fight Grub!

No, that's definitely GRUBER

This made me think of Mitch Hedbergs escalator joke.

"I like the escalator, man, 'cause the escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. There would never be an 'Escalator Temporarily Out of Order' sign, only an 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs - Sorry for the Convenience.'"

GRUBUR

I was thinking that for a quarter second until I read the second line. :)

There is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your man pages.

Escalator breaking in such a way that it goes way too quickly could make it unusable.

True. Though that's much more isolated. Typically criminal negligence is involved. Though early escalators were always slightly scarry meat grinders.

Arizona actually i think it’s in el mirage maybe off northern or olive

Thanks.

I can't believe Microsoft thinks this is a mature operating system.

I'm not sure they think that. At least not all the engineers. Management maybe. But they do sell it as such.

A quarter pounder second?

You're a goofy GRUBUR! Yeah!
We're all goofy GRUBUR! Yeah!
Goofy goofy GRUBUR GRUBUR! Yeah!

Yeah I don’t fuck around with out of order escalators if I can avoid it. I’ve seen too many internet videos.

Someone else in this thread said Sun City. You guys should fight about it. I will watch.

quote that

Welcome...

To zombocom...

I wanna say it’s gotta be like two or 3 miles southwest of the US 60 and Peoria I drive for Uber and I go past that like every few days and every single time I laugh at it. Not sure if that’s technically Sun City or El Mirage but it’s gotta be like right on the edge of each. Pretty sure it’s like 3 miles east of that Quiktrip that I always take a shit at.

I guess someone stole the 1 and 3 off the sign in OPs picture, they're there on street view. That's wild you found this

The other commenter put an actual address. But it sounds like you guys are pretty much agreeing. Which means I don’t get to fan the flames of an internet fight.

It’s also kind of amazing to me, with how small lemmy is, that there’s someone who drives by this place regularly.

They have exactly two failure modes. Become stairs and become horror movie.

The Internet always delivers

Oh right it’s on grand ave I.E. us 60. I was close and it’s definitely right down the same street from my favorite toilet

You would think ...

At the station it became apparent that a few of the escalators were working again by now. However, some entrypoints remained closed off.

And a few months later:

A Royale Second (with cheese) in the civilized world

If you zoom in on the picture, you can see where they once were
