    The Fast Food Thread

    Normally I'd agree it's not - I think in the case of the BK burgers the flame-broil factor making them less greasy is the reason why 2x American is too much. With roughly the same amount of meat in a Double Quarter from McD's, I don't balk at the amount of American at all. American is really...

    The Fast Food Thread

    It's really weird to hear stuff like that being so commonplace. For me, my mother's motto was to always make enough for the family + enough for a surprise visitor (or leftovers if no visitor). I forget the Catholic version, but I know there's a similar principle in Judaism as well. (Elijah with...

    Penn & Teller: Fool Us

    My guess would be that the hammer itself had a little storage compartment that smashed with the note within it. Would be the easiest method and who really looks closely at a hammerhead? (Not to mention could just show the frontside visibly, then flip it to use the rear to smash)

    XCOM 2

    It's a tad unstable right now, and mods would only make it less stable... it's pretty much a given for a bit.

    I just got a crash that hardlocked my machine to the point I had to reboot to even do anything.

    Relocating to Orlando Florida

    Gotcha. I thought it sounded like you were saying LA traffic made Orlando look shitty, which as major cities go, it's not bad. Besides mid hurricane weirdness it's never really congested (and even that was tolerable) in my experience.

    Relocating to Orlando Florida

    Merritt Island over in Brevard. Definitely commute friendly for some people, but I know myself. Working there will make me want to do the social stuff out there more which will start the whole snowball of inevitability. Laura doesn't drive so it's not like I could just meet her after work...

    Almost bullseyed. 5'2" 130#. Usually I can put a decent amount away though over like an hour meal if I want to though. I'm more of a marathon eater than a sprint eater - give me 15 min and a buffet, I'll barely make a dent - 5 hrs and I'll recreate the loot train scene from GoT on it. I was...

    Relocating to Orlando Florida

    And officially got it, filling out my new I9s and everything Saturday. So I'm probably doomed to relocate to Orlando myself in the moderately near future. I'll really miss living on the water...

    Moviepass: pay $10/mo, see one movie a day in theaters

    We'll have to see if we even end up using ours, the job change I'm making will be far less conducive to using it that often. Job I'll be leaving shortly was insanely flexible and near zero commute so I was going to be able to fit in a movie basically any day the whim struck.

    I forget if I've ever done a Bacon King - but I can definitely say the cheese would be my one complaint for the Rodeo King if I was to be super critical - the cheese overwhelmed even the BBQ sauce for some bites. If I get another I'll probably ask for them to do half the cheese on it.

    Relocating to LA from Orlando

    I'd definitely make sure it's on the bucket list - for me I'm a huge fan of waterscapes and such, but it's one of the few 100% dry spots that is ingrained in my mind even 20+ years later. Simply gorgeous. Almost like a natural cathedral with all the stained glass creating a panoply - but only by...

    XCOM 2

    With the woman playing next to me, and one restart because I spent my first XCOM pts stupidly not realizing how slow they came, I can tell you the orders are randomized - I did get that one first time, but my game #2 and woman's game #1 neither of us have it. I'm quite fond of the Training...

    Rodeo King is up to snuff - jesus fuck it's a big sandwich though. Neither the woman nor I could finish ours in one go. (Of course I expect McCheese to down like 4 in one sitting, we're not competitors to him) Fundamentally just a Rodeo Burger upped to double whopper w/ cheese size (+I think...

    Indeed - my woman saw me playing and wants to.... dumbass installed XCOM: EU last night not XCOM2 to prep for it, she's nearly done, but was like 8 hrs of DLing at an almost constant 6-7 MB/s.

    Relocating to LA from Orlando

    Ah is it? I just remember it from a trip like.... 25 yrs ago when we did all of that stuff in one trip centered in Salt Lake. Grand Canyon, some dinosaur dig stuff, and those two. Basically completely forgotten all but Bryce and Zion though.

    Nope, just calling myself one absolutely. In my cases it was 100% dumbassness - for your case not knowing your microwave and such, it could be one that needs adjustment to the numbers to not burn stuff. It's possible you were, but I don't know enough data to say anyone but myself was. I can say...

    That is basically the Mtn Dew "Game Fuel" red variant that they do every year. The other Game Fuel flavor seems to rotate, but that one is consistent.

    Does it for Pro?

    I'd never heard of it, but holy fuck, reading up on it briefly, I'll be asking around about it some myself.

    Moviepass: pay $10/mo, see one movie a day in theaters

    I think it's just some theaters not being entered or checked manually yet that you can do that ATM. For my theaters around me, all the major chains have special movies removed - it's only our small chain and local theaters that still have ones that show.

    Fortunately Bethesda also produces, so there may be hope it's another studio with their name on it. (Course it wouldn't be open world then most likely either)
