    I don't believe this. I have never had a store brand pizza roll that was nearly as good as Totino's. I don't have a Kroger or HEB near me to try, but I just can't believe they can even come close to a real pizza roll.

    What do you do?

    It was the job that I hated (government contracting stuff), I didn't mind working from home. Although, now that I'm back in an office, I do enjoy the interaction and socialization and I realize how much I was missing it sitting alone in my apartment all day every day. Some days I wouldn't...

    Congrats on the job, that's a pretty sweet offer. On the flip side, it's officially been a month and a half since I quit my 90% work-from-home, 85k/year job to take a 50k job that I have to drive to every day. I could not be happier. I don't have nearly as much spending cash, but damn if I'm...

    For good? I know my local Chipotle runs out of certain types of meat now and then due to supply issues. They push the whole "antibiotics free" meat thing, so (at least according to what they say) they don't have as large a supply chain and suffer meat shortages now and then. My Chipotle went...

    Too much time at work, suggestions?

    Self improvement. Study a foreign language, do an EdX course, learn a programming language, etc. It's not often you get paid to improve yourself.

    Learning a second language for career purposes.

    Russian grammar is hard, for sure. However, it sounds like you're letting it overwhelm you. Just take it one case at a time and use whatever you know to start communicating. Chances are if you make a mistake with the cases you'll still be understood pretty easily. Likewise for verbs of motion...

    Learning a second language for career purposes.

    I self-taught Russian to a basic conversational level, and then fine-tuned it to an advanced level in college and living overseas. What is your exact problem that makes Russian painful? My general rule for learning ANY language is to actively use it in meaningful interactions. I think the...

    Wii U

    I was excited to get Mario Maker, but it's 60 dollars? That's insane, I was expecting a 20 - 30 dollar purchase. Seems like an exorbitant price for what amounts to a really, really old game with good replayability.

    I'd rather wait tables for slightly less (or possibly more? depending on location) money than deal with a shit job like that.

    We talk about pumpkin flavored fast food items in this thread every year in the fall. Pumpkin pie blizzards are especially popular, and you can find posts about them dating back to 2013.

    In actual fast food news, I had some pumpkin cheesecake square donuts the other day from Dunkin' Donuts. Heavenly! A++ do recommend. I plan on getting more on Saturday morning.

    That's a good point. While some people genuinely don't like the taste of black coffee, I think for a lot of people it's simply that they've never had a really high-quality, tasty black coffee. Similar to beer, there is a huge variety of flavors when it comes to black coffee, and sometimes it...

    Damn, I really want to try 100 chicken nuggets. I admit that is impressive. I never knew I could make a Youtube career out of binge eating. Then again, I'm a fat, hairy white guy so that might make a difference.

    Could? No problem. Would? Hell no, that is gross. Mixing Mexican and Italian in something that is not a taco pizza is a horrible idea.

    Well, I did something I'm not sure I've ever done before: I threw away fast food. I ordered the buttermilk crispy chicken sandwich at McD's and only lasted two bites before tossing it. The flavor of the sandwich was alright, but holy shit I have never seen a lower-quality, more gristly, nasty...

    Speaking of food and prices, I went to this fancy shmancy restaurant in Washington D.C. (seasonal small plates | Lincoln Restaurantdon't even get me started on the small plates bullshit) recently that was serving deviled eggs for 4 dollars. I thought you'd get like 6 or 8 eggs for that price...

    If you don't eat carbs you might as well just kill yourself or start posting in the depression thread, because carbs are the source of the majority of life's food-related joy.

    The most I've ever spent on myself at Burger King was around $20. This was back when you could do King Size (I.e., super size) for an extra charge. I think I got two King size meals and assorted desserts.

    This happens to me and my girlfriend now and then. Just recently I got a text like an hour before we were supposed to meet somewhere that she wouldn't be able to make it. I was obviously irked at the short notice, but it turned out she had sent that text like a week before in relation to other...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    They don't have to change existing zones. They can just make the new content accessible via the existing content (i.e., adding a new high level expansion zone connected to a vanilla low/mid level zone) instead of making an entirely new continent, with a new central hub, and migrating the entire...

    One of my favorite snacks is polly-o cheese sticks dipped in burger king onion ring sauce. It's a delightful flavor combination. I always make sure to grab some extra packets of the sauce when I eat at bk to store at home.

    Most people don't know what a healthy weight/body fat percentage looks like nowadays. I've gotten the same thing from family members. Don't let them pressure you into putting weight back on.

    1) Because there aren't always better options for fast subs available. Subway is the only sub shop close enough I can get to on my lunch break and get back to work in time. 2) I have gone over this before, but from a calorie-to-satisfaction standpoint, Subway is hard to beat. My foot long ham...

    What do you do?

    I think it's because somewhere, sometime long ago, someone wrote a policy/procedure that says they have to ask specific questions. In my experience, you tend to run into those generic, stereotypical kinds of interview questions in government, academia, and huge corporations. I've interviewed and...

    So when I go to Subway I always get either a turkey on Italian or a ham on Italian, and I load it up with 10 veggies: lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, olives, pickles, banana peppers, jalapenos. I always run into the problem of the sandwich artist trying to close and...

    What do you do?

    These kinds of generic questions are so stupid. I hate answering them in interviews. They're so stereotypical that you can basically rehearse answers for them so the interviewers aren't even going to learn much about you from the questions.

    He mentioned he's eating a lot of veggies in addition to the plan calories, and you can really fill your stomach up with tons of veggies without adding more than a few hundred calories onto your daily total.

    The Art of Conversation

    It's great to be able to talk to anyone about anything, but it's also important to be able to turn it off and know when to not talk. I used to car pool with my boss once a week to an office about 2 - 3 hours away, and she is one of those people who cannot stand even the tiniest moment of...

    Learning a second language for career purposes.

    I agree with him. Unless you're in a job where foreign languages are a vital part (such as working directly with immigrants), it probably won't make much of a difference if you're bilingual. In such jobs, however, being bilingual is awesome. I know for a fact that my ability to speak a foreign...
