    Wayward Pines

    Yep, meanwhile the missing FBI woman thought she had been there for 12 years, when in fact it had only been 5 weeks. I also haven't read the source material, but I was happy to see that SorrowsEnd post that everything is eventually explained. I was surprised at how quickly the first episode...

    This Max guy, whoever the fuck he is, is atrocious. There are a couple commercials with him now, and they don't really make any sense. It's starting to feel like McD's is just pulling random ideas out of a hat for food items, marketing, and company decisions.

    I'm a big fan of stretching. I usually start each workout with 10 - 15 minutes of simple stretching. I didn't use to stretch, but I really hurt my lower back in winter 2014 shoveling snow, and stretching REALLY helped ease (and eventually get rid of) the pain. I've continued stretching and...

    I thought this was interesting. I'm doing an EdX course about super heroes, and in the first week they asked everyone in the course (thousands of people by the looks of it) who their favorite super hero and super villain is, and then put the responses into a word cloud. They were free-form...

    Asking for a Raise

    I've dealt with this twice now, and I think you should be fairly certain that either: a) you'll get the new job you interview for, or b) your current job won't be super pissed at you interviewing elsewhere. Both times I've interviewed at direct competitors of my current gig I was lucky enough to...

    It was a rhetorical question. Anyway, baking is fine but I like to coat them in oil and seasoning first. I'm not some fatty who deep fries fries at home. Went to mcds for breakfast and ordered a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, but got a sausage and egg biscuit. Not even any fucking cheese. I...

    My advice is to stop running because it is awful and boring and there are much more enjoyable ways to get exercise.

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    Me, Myself, and Irene. I've never walked out in the middle of a movie, but this was the closest I've come to that. I've never actually sat down and rewatched it in its entirety since, but I've seen bits and pieces on TV here and there and it doesn't seem as bad as I remember it. I might have...

    HAES is quite possibly the most infuriating movement I've ever heard of. Sometimes I browse /r/fatlogic and /r/fatpeoplehate and just let my anger boil up and seethe at the sheer stupidity and insanity of the people who actually believe they're healthy at obese weights. It takes a lot to rustle...

    Comic Books

    I wonder, are there any stats on how much interest the movies have garnered for the comic books? I can see a lot of people watching the movies and getting interested in picking up some comics for the same characters. In that case, it would probably benefit Marvel to have as much similarity...

    As a Certified Doritos Expert, the vast majority of Doritos flavor are terrible. Nacho Cheese and Spicy Nacho are the only two that are really great, with Cool Ranch being tolerable if you're one of those weirdos that likes that shit. All the other dozens of flavors you see in the grocery aisles...

    Bicycling

    That's the sort of thing I would do on my own as a training ride or recreational ride. We like the whole event aspect of doing official centuries: large groups of people, roads/paths we otherwise wouldn't ride, rest stops with food/drink, official start/finish line, and of course the t-shirt...

    Summer TV

    America's Got Talent is my go-to summer show. I'm also looking forward to Wayward Pines. Texas Rising looks pretty cool, too. In general, though, I use summer to catch up on TV I haven't watched during the fall and spring. This is especially true for those shows that I never watched but ended up...

    The Flash

    Exactly, and that is the confusing part. The next episode of Arrow should start with Ollie and company solving the problem of the entire team apparently dying to the Alpha-Omega virus (even though obviously they aren't going to die). However, in the next episode of the Flash, Ollie is going to...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I hear ya. As much as I hate going to Walmart, K-Mart is still my all-time most hated store for shitty layouts, cluttered aisles, and the world's worst customers. People of K-Mart would make people of Walmart look like classy one-percenters.

    What's with all the hype behind Splatoon? I wasn't able to play the demo, but from the videos and screenshots I've seen it doesn't appear to be all that fun. Am I missing something that makes it so "omgwtf amazeballs"?

    I just redeemed one of those little 5-sticker-cards at McD's for a free coffee and it confused the hell out of the entire cashier/front staff. They had to find the manager and ask him how to do it. Took like 3 - 4 minutes, but fuck it, I saved 99 cents! I guess not many people are actually...

    Jimmies rustled by Denny's recently. Why the fuck does Denny's not leave syrup on the table like IHOP? They give you this shitty little ramekin of syrup, which isn't nearly enough to properly drown your pancakes and waffles. Hell, even asking for extra syrup (which to them automatically means...

    Arrow

    This is small, but it's something I noticed during this last episode. Throughout the big fight scene, Katana's sword gets bloodier and bloodier. At the end it's all red. In most network shows swords/knives never get bloody despite slicing and dicing bad guys, so I thought that was a nice touch.

    The Flash

    So if we want to keep proper continuity for next week, should we watch Arrow first and then the Flash? I usually watch them both a day or two after airing, so it's no big deal to me, but I'd like to watch them in an order that makes sense story-wise.

    I never thought about eating it like a dip; that's a pretty good idea. However, I mainly go to Chipotle because it's a pretty healthy/low calorie fast food option. Eating it with chips ruins that.

    No, just a cheap-ass dude and his scraggly wife. On the topic of Chipotle, I had a burrito bowl today and it was amazeballs. I prefer the bowls over the burritos, because you can mix it all around in a bowl, whereas burritos tend to result in you only getting one or two ingredients per bite.

    Being a VP doesn't automatically mean you're classy/fancy/whatever. I once saw the founder, President and CEO of a 150+ million dollar company come to a friend's backyard BBQ/crab party and take ALL the leftover crabs home at the end. He and his wife were picking through the pile of leftover...

    I just watched The Babadook the other day, and while I enjoyed it, holy shit was that kid annoying. I kept thinking back to this thread and how I had read the movie was 90 minutes of a kid screaming. It wasn't quite that bad, but it was close.

    He's a spineless mama's boy. He could barely stand up to her when he demanded she free Loras, and that was only because he was faced with the threat of no more Margaery ass. If she tells him she's handling shit, he doesn't seem like he'd be willing to argue.

    I love me some Long John Silvers, but sadly there aren't any in my area. Nor are there any Culver's. I think that's a case for a lot of places across the country. In most areas, if you want a fast food fish sandwich you're probably stuck with McD's, Wendy's, or BK.

With no bartending experience you'd...
