@pluralistic Ruby's was my go-to for chopped beef sandwich, perfect after sweating on a hot day. It was always spicy and never dry. That place was the real one.

NOT ME at 1:30am Sunday morning looking up how to install Linux on my antiquated Samsung C303 Chromebook because it's still perfectly usable except where Google stopped supporting it. I would never do such a thing.
