    Don't know the origin of this, but agree with McDonald's near the top and In-N-Out at the bottom. Carl's Jr. way overrated.

    The Eating on a Budget Thread

    Costco's Kirkland brand is pretty good, but not always in stock. Muir Glen also good but a bit pricier than the el cheapo brands. Can't recommend a cheap brand because I think they universally add a bunch of sugar and use soybean instead of olive oil.

    The Eating on a Budget Thread

    Nah, it's fine. It's basically how my Italian American family makes it. We add black pepper, sautéed onions and olive oil, and skip the basil. Bring to boil and simmer for an hour. If you like, brown some cheap, tough cuts of beef, add and simmer for another two hours. Tenderest, tastiest...

    I use Edge and I've never installed an ad-blocker. Never seen an in-stream ad on Twitch. When Asmongold runs ads at the end of his stream, I never see them. /shrug

    In 8.1 they also stealth buffed the health of Legion dungeon bosses, and I think the trash as well, for reasons unknown. I was able to solo Nightbane in Karazhan easily before the patch but can't do it now.

    Are you using Windows 10 and selecting High Performance under Game Mode|Graphics settings? I had bad FPS issues with WoW and other games until I turned High Performance on.

    And any power gain you feel will be lost with the new patch because they will toughen up the new max level mobs. But that's been true for a long time.

    Yeah, I do the misting thing with most of my houseplants - except my corn plant, which seems to thrive on neglect.

    It was probably overwatering then. I was too zealous to keep it from wilting due to dryness.

    Since you're posting again @Mr_Bungle I have a question about another houseplant I "murdered". I bought a Fittonia about a year ago that was doing fine except for a few occasions where it started wilting because I didn't keep the soil wet enough - found out through trial and error that it...

    It's near a patio door that is usually open during the day, so it will get an occasional outdoor breeze. I live in SoCal near the ocean so it is usually above 50% humidity except during Santa Ana wind conditions. And I don't fertilize my plants when they're not growing. At the same time I...

    Mine is actually Calathea ornata: When the condition first started, I went to the nursery where I bought it for advice, and they said the same thing as you. So I tried bottled water for awhile and it didn't help the next set of leaves. Perhaps I didn't try it long enough, so I will attempt...

    Not being a raider, I don't have to stand out of the fire a lot, so killing Ysondre for a Timewalking quest was quite an adventure for me yesterday. I think I spent 75% of the time trying to dodge the ground stun or be stunned rather than dpsing. Need to figure that out better. Anyway, I was...

    Really nice. The green one is a calathea. I have one of those and it behaves just like the gif. They are bitch to maintain though. After I bought mine it was fine for about six months but then the leaf edges started turning brown and crispy. Supposedly it is due to low humidity and even...

    The best gold per time spent is probably Firelands. You'll get about 1700 gold total. Next I would try LFR Thrones of Thunder.

    It's not possible for game developers and coders to keep up with those who devour the content you like so quickly. So what do you propose in place of WQs, pet battles and other time wasters between expansion updates? They could purposefully slow down your dungeon/raiding experience but I doubt...

    If they're like me, they're doing the Legion WQs for the gold. I dusted off my Legion bodyguard that has 3 gold buffs, and daily I do all the quick and easy Legion WQs for 25 gold each. There are usually several each day that are worth 100 or more gold on Broken Shore and Argus combined and...

    I'm finding in general that the fast food places around me (McD, BK, Carls, Jack-in-the-Box, KFC, Popeyes, Taco Bell etc) have all declined a bit in service and quality recently. I'm wondering if it's due to the low unemployment rate forcing them to hire anyone who comes looking for a job.

    I have one of these - Miracle Gro Aerogarden. It's normally used starting with seeds but you could just put the pots on the stand. The light can be adjusted to be much higher than shown and can be programmed to turn on and off automatically at any times you wish. There are probably much more...

    I just got Honored with Champions of Azeroth but I did not get the quest The Heart's Power to increment my Heart of Azeroth's ilvl by 15. Am I missing a prerequisite? Edit: Never mind. Have to go to Silithus to get and complete quest.
