    The Fast Food Thread

    Krispy Kreme has branched out quite a bit, they offer a ton of different kinds of donuts. Now, they're all still basically small, round donuts (no longjohns or cinnamon rolls or anything) but they have filled donuts, offer both cake & yeast donuts, etc. Tons of different flavors nowadays...

    I don't see anything wrong with it, but I'm also not the type of online gamer that has to have a <1ms response time monitor or it'll screw with my aiming or whatever. I'm not that good that a microsecond of lag is going to make any difference to me.

    Odd. With my luck, the chips used in SSDs will probably undergo some sort of "shortage" and prices will spike and never recover, like RAM a couple years ago.

    Lets talk donut chains. For some reason, I can't ever find a Dunkin Donut that I really like(although I do like their coffee). Krispy Kreme shits all over Dunkin Donuts, IMHO. Of course, most cities have local places that are way better than either, but 99% of us won't have access to those...

    How dirty are college sports and the NCAA?

    If the NCAA wants to ever be taken seriously, they're going to have to start imposing post-season bans for ANY probation. 4 years probation? 4 years with no postseason. Otherwise, it's never going to stop. Why would you? Unfortunately they will never do that, because the blue-blood...

    Yeah, wait until you want to upgrade in capacity. SSDs just keep dropping in price like crazy, the longer you wait the more you'll get for your money, if you have enough space for what you need to do now. Hell, wait a year and you might be able to get a 1TB drive for $200 or something, the way...

    Theres a diner in the town where I went to college that is open all night long(caters to drunk college kids) and they serve an item they call the "Stretch" It's a bed of hash browns, with 3 fried eggs on top of that(you can actually get fried or scrambled, I always go fried), with chili on...

    I wouldn't bother switching over to a 850 if you already have an 840, unless you're also going up in capacity. Don't waste the money going from a 250gb 840 to a 250gb 850, you won't notice the speed difference in any practical use.

    It's rare that a group of companies could be so greedy, and so customer unfriendly that I would choose the US government regulating something over a private company. But that's the case here. That's just how bad it was getting.

    I just meant "higher quality meat" as in it tastes better. Its seasoned better, and it seems to always be more fresh, and more tender. Probably has a lot to do with just how busy any Chipotle always is, they're having to cook fresh meat constantly. I think the stuff at Qdoba sits around a bit...

    I know we've had this discussion here, probably several times, but Chipotle has higher-quality meat Qdoba offers about 10x as many items as Chipotle to make up for it, so it has it's own strengths.

    Pour a jar of salsa over the chicken, then crock-pot it. Its enough moisture to keep it tender, but adds some nice extra flavor for mexican meals.

    Is it just me, or does it seems like teams can't win a Super Bowl while paying a QB $20mil a year? That just eats up too much money that you need to spend elsewhere to build a great team. Flacco gets a big contract, and they haven't been the same since. Brees gets a huge contract a couple...

    Solid finale. Wasn't the funniest episode ever, but it tied up everything really well and was highly entertaining. The Gergich clan at his 100th birthday cracked me up, hot blondes for days, with his wife not aging a day, lol.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    This is correct, no penalty goes over 15 yards, ever, in college. Now, if something is totally egregious they could choose to throw 2 flags, a PI and tack on a personal foul on top of that for another 15 yards or something. That pretty much never happens though, you'd have to basically spear a...

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    The 15 yard limit is basically a non factor in college. If a DB is close enough to tackle a wr before the ball gets there to prevent the catch, he's close enough to try and defend it legitimately. About the only time you see a blatant mauling is still close to the line of scrimmage as the DB...

    Yeah, compared to an original S, a G2 would be a huge upgrade. Compared to my wife's S3 it was a sidegrade at best and then moving to the S5 was significantly better. The G2 is probably on par with an S3 or so from my experience.

    Are you gaming? 4K is going to perform pretty poorly on a 970. 4k is going to perform pretty poorly on any single card at the moment. Honestly, I'd just get a Korean 1440p and call it good for a few years, we're still a ways off from decent 4K gaming(4k at a consistent 60+ fps, much less 120/144)

    Probably a dumb question, but when you drop in the egg, do you let the thing boil whole, or do you stir it up so that it ends up more the consistency of eggdrop soup, with little ribbons of egg everywhere? I have zero experience with cooking asian cuisine

    My wife had a G2 for about 6 months in-between hher Samsung S3 and now S5. She didn't like it at all. Battery life was mediocre and the camera was terrible. That's pretty much her two biggest priorities for a phone, and both were lacking compared to Samsung phones, so we switched her back.

    My wife has that case for her S5, she loves it. It actually adds wireless Qi charging as well(it replaces the whole backplate of the phone). Another added perk is that it turns the phone on and off instantly when the cover is opened or closed, no need to hit the power button. The only thing...

    My only gripe about the Note Edge is that you aren't getting extra screen real estate, as far as I can tell. The entire screen is 2560x1600, with the "side" screen 2560x160(10%) and the regular screen 2560x1440(90%). The normal Note 4 is a full 2560x1600 on the main screen. Supposedly the...
