    Our AC partially flooded the basement last summer, causing us to pull up all the shitty laminate tile the previous owners had down there. I only just got around to installing new flooring over the basement concrete slab. I used that click-lock luxury vinyl plank flooring. Holy shit it's amazing...

    Absolutely. I bought the Definitive Edition (base game + all DLC) for $30 less than a month ago. I've already put nearly 50 hours into it and showing no signs of stopping. Best ARPG since Diablo II, imo.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I worked at Olive Garden to put myself through college. I'd go in during the Never Ending Pasta Bowl on my day off and since I knew everyone, I would get bowls of pasta at the appropriate speed. They'd bring me two or three refills at a time, or plates of just meatballs and sausages. That's the...

    Scam. It'll be 20 minutes between tiny servings. It should be illegal to have all-you-can-eat without a buffet.

    What are you playing?

    I've been heavily addicted to Ultimate General: Civil War. I picked it up at a steep discount a while ago but never really got into it deeply until now. I've been reading a book about the Civil War and it got me itching to play. I've always hated the overwhelming complexity of war games, but I...

    These "best of" food lists always have some shithole in Baltimore listed as the best in Maryland, immediately invalidating the legitimacy of the whole list. The only good thing in Baltimore is Mr. Trash Wheel.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it were done by hand, although your guess also sounds like a feasible method. Living in Maryland, crabs are our big thing. My whole life I assumed the crab processing plants were filled with fancy machines that they could feed crabs into and have the meat separated...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I don't know much about the comic character, but I enjoyed the version of him in the Arrowverse. I think that's mainly down to the actor being really charismatic. So far, all the Arrowverse casting has been leagues better than movie casting for DC properties.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    I went to the Giants-Dolphins game in London back in 2007. I distinctly remember seeing tons of Germans with their Rhein Fire jerseys there. If they were that big on a game in London, I can imagine they'd be crazy about getting a game at home.

    Is that literally all you're eating all day every day? Two pounds of unseasoned chicken breast? Any beverages? Sauces? Seasonings? Vegetables? Anything different on weekends?

    If you're 220 and truly eating 1500 calories a day while exercising, the weight would be melting off. You're eating more calories than you think. Track them as accurately as you can for a couple days to see where the extra ones are coming from.

    A Christmas Story Christmas (2022)

    What I'm hoping for: A movie where Ralphie comes to grips with not appreciating his dad enough as a kid. By going through Christmas as a dad himself, he realizes how much effort his dad put into making Christmas so magical. Lighter on jokes, heavier on heart. The big appeal of the first one was...

    For the last couple months I've been buying my local grocery store out of this Nashville Hot Chicken Dip every time I see it. It's so good. It's got noticeable heat, which is rare for a storebought dip. I often just eat it cold with a spoon for breakfast on my way to work, but it's also tasty...

    I did some spot watering last night to find it, and it seems like I did. Looks like there was one tile that was slightly popping out, leaving a tiny gap for water to get through. This was at the opposite end of the shower from where the water was coming through the ceiling. Seems like it was...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I like him, but he's already 80 years old. He'll be at least a couple years older before he is actually in a movie. Doesn't seem like a wise choice for a potentially long-term role. Although maybe Disney will just get his image rights and CGI him when he dies after the first movie.

    I've noticed a tiny drip of water coming through the ceiling of the basement after using the master bath shower, which is above it. However, I don't think there are any pipes directly above it where it would be coming from. The basement ceiling is unfinished, so I can see the water pipes and...

    Instead of taking the highway directly from DC, head up along Route 1 (or hop over to Route 1 from I-95. They're parallel and super close). There is an awesome pupuseria along the way. Little Deli and Cafe Absolutely authentic. It's just a little family place. I have friends who live near the...

    I got into Mexican stouts last winter. I had never heard of them before that, but last year they seemed trendy because every local brewery had one. I'm looking forward to them this year.

Any restaurant in Northwest DC our just over the line in Maryland will be fantastic and authentic. Silver Spring is an especially big hub with probably a dozen or more. For...

    Few things worse than opening a new bag of Doritos and pulling out pale, yellowish chips. On the flip side, it's so exciting when you pull out that first chip and it's dark orange. You know you're in for a good time. Fuck. Yes.

    I don't get these Lays flavor swaps they're doing. If I want Funyuns, I'll get Funyuns. They're already (basically) in chip form. Same with the Cheetos chips. If I want Cheetos, I'll get Cheetos, not Cheetos flavored chips.

    I wish "eat as much as you want" worked for me. My sister is like that. She eats a couple slices of pizza and stops because she genuinely doesn't want any more. Meanwhile I'm over here eating two entire pizzas because I want more pizza.
