The other thing about the awesome #cybersecurity at Noodles & Co is that when I give them my email address that ends in paco.to, they "correct" it to paco.com. So even though that is NOT my email address, I had to login with a paco.com email address. Great work, guys. Take a bow.

I really did NOT expect to make 3 posts about trying to order noodles for dinner, but here we are.

I contacted customer support a few weeks ago and asked them to manually change my email address to paco.to. They did. I have now lost my entire order history and all my "favourites." So we get to order everything from scratch.

Amusingly enough, I did keep my loyalty points, so there's that.

God DAMN a fourth message! Looks like the going rate is anywhere from 12.5 cents to 15 cents per calorie. On vegetables.
If you want meatballs, you can pay $0.012 per calorie. You want vegetables? Can you please fill out this credit check.

5th (and hopefully final) installment in the saga “Paco gets noodles for dinner.” They are tasty. Hacking complete.

BTW for those wondering, “hacking” was disabling #IPv6 on my laptop and ordering over IPv4. Thanks #cloudflare. Nice work. Much safer.)

so, you're saying that lack of noodles has been slowing ipv6 adoption? fair enough. :)

@paco I noticed something similar when ordering from our usual asian place. Used to be that my veg and tofu was the cheapest thing on the menu. Not so much anymore. I don't mind for this place, because they're locally owned and they may be magical fairies because they can make crispy tofu that is still crispy when it gets to my house. *I* can't make crispy tofu that stays crispy until it gets to the plate. Heh.

@paco can we order instead of tooting about it? I’m hungry

@paco Oh I hate that.
My latest pet-peeve is that I have an EMail address that has a subdomain (vendors.example.com) and I get told by about 10% of sites that grumpyelf@vendors.example.com isn't a valid address.

Really? I have over 250 organizations sending mail to that address, so is *it* wrong, or is the parser you wrote junk?

@elfin Me too. It's actually filter.paco.to and they turn it into filter.paco.com. I am doing the same thing and getting the same result. 🤦‍♂️

@paco Ewwwwwww.
I get that a little with my .me and *oddly*, my .us addresses. Like, people, there are other TLDs than .com ... just lazy programming.

@elfin yeah. For aliexpress, I end up using a .world domain I own because they don’t seem to like .to at all. Weird that .to, which is ancient, is less supported than the novelty .world.

@paco Do you need your noodles that badly?

Paco Hope #resist 1d ago

@JigmeDatse clearly not. Because I’m busy posting about it instead of ordering them! 😜

Jigme Datse 1d ago

@paco Well, I more mean is there maybe some place you can get what you're looking for which is less of a pain.

@paco @JigmeDatse Noodles. Mmmmm.
