    The Fast Food Thread

    Did the same in high school. However, it was too much bread so I just McGuyver'ed the individual cheeseburgers into double cheeseburgers. Good times!

    Gold Rush

    Maybe Discovery wants to go that route for entertainment purposes with a character building / redemption arc, but no way that kid can be a mine boss. He's in no way shape or form qualified for it, and Todd sure as shit isn't the fount of knowledge to seek when times get tough. I highly doubt any...

    Not that re-working zones is bad... the better question is: Who signed off on the new Freeport and thought "this is great! Push it live!"?

    Gold Rush

    Not at all surprised Todd is finally packing it in. I feel bad for his crew. Loyal to their own detriment. I will say though, I have a bit of sympathy for Todd's son. Yes, he comes off as an annoying shithead.. but can you imagine the flack he gets at school / from his peers? Anyone that...

    "Dated PC" excuse for slow broadband means nothing with a NIC card made in the last decade or so. Your tech is a moron.

    From the article: He claims that when he tried a Big Mac for the first time he immediately gobbled two more - then returned twice the same day to devour another six. One of us! @McCheese identity confirmed?

    TLP pvp would be meaningless in an instanced raids server. OW targets would just be griefers attacking MTs and Clerics. What's the point?

    Investing General Discussion

    While I do agree markets are frothy right now, waiting a decade for a bubble pop is crazy. How a few poorly-timed trades can torpedo two decades of healthy returns

    The Astronomy Thread

    Ummm.. no. Elon Musk's Space Tesla Isn't Going to Mars. It's Going Somewhere More Important. The Falcon Heavy launch would place the Roadster into a heliocentric orbit, meaning that like the planets and comets and so on, it will be orbiting the sun. More specifically, the Muskmobile will go...

    We have them all over the place here on a base in the Middle East. They look fantastic and are far bigger than the old Ranger. I think it's a smart move, as the F-150 is a behemoth now. I'd be all over one, especially considering they are working on a Ranger Raptor. Spied! Ford Ranger Raptor...

    Speaking of chicken sandwiches, I tried this at Shake Shack today: Shake Shack Pretty fucking legit! 8/10 Really crispy and spicy breading, very juicy and succulent chicken on the inside. Slaw was ace. Love their buns. Only negative is the cost. I skipped the fries and ate two of these...

    Bitcoin broke below 7k today. Another massive selloff, as China has announced they are going to block crypto exchanges. Not sure if this graphics card mining mania will last much longer at this rate.

    BTC already dipped below 8k yesterday. That's a massive fall from the 19k in December. A lot of these amateur miners are going to be bankrupt.

    Max Combat Agility first, then Combat Stability. By far the two most important to any tank class.

    Employment background checks

    Since when did it become acceptable for a Poly outside of special access programs in the intelligence communities? Who the fuck puts up with that in the civilian world for a mundane job? I'd tell them to go fuck themselves. At least the gov work pays exceptionally well to deal with that crap.

    I worked at a Taco Bell in the early/mid 90s and rice was definitely in burritos as a norm nationwide. It's a huge cost saver. Costs pennies and acts as a filler in a burrito.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I actually bought a model very similar to this, but smoked it in about 5 minutes use. I live in a 220V country and had hooked it up to a transformer to step down to 110V, but transformers do not change the 50Hz frequency which will inevitably kill AC motors quickly. Hence, why I asked for a...

    I guess in a similar topic, can anyone recommend a good sharpener? Preferably non-electric. I have a Henckel set that I bought ~9 years ago and are definitely overdue for a sharpening.

    Simply not true of the last 8 or so years. I have a 2013 LR4 (Discovery 4) that will hit 5 years old in a couple weeks. The thing has been absolutely trouble free, aside from a leaky water pump which had a TSB out on it and was replaced under warranty. I am a regular member of the forums and all...

    Evoke is an underpowered 4cyl. (If power is any concern of you) It's also designed in 2011 and had a very minor update in 2013 focusing mostly on convenience features and a new transmission. The design is quite long in the tooth now and overdue for an overhaul. No idea about Volvos.

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    Tried firing this up for a nostalgia run. Created a new Enchanter and gave up fairly early. I fucked up and didn't research the class choice. The tweaks to the server don't really favor the Enchanter class whatsoever and in fact, make it a very poor choice. The server charm slot item boosts...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    SoE's response to the ability bloat was always along the lines of continue to damn the game into mediocrity in fear the current playerbase revolted. It had a hell of a lot of potential and some aspects were really exciting. They screwed the pooch bigtime by not addressing the glaring problems.

    Coffee Thread

    It's really not difficult at all to use. Just watch a YouTube video or two and you should be set. Be mindful of the fill line (not above the safety valve) and do not tamp the grounds like an espresso machine. I just lightly tap the grounds with a spoon to even it out. Do not press. That "2 cup"...

    Still happy with my Moka pot. Dirt cheap and 90% there for an actual espresso in terms of flavor. Absolute bargain, compared to a machine. https://www.amazon.com/Bialetti-06835-Brikka-Stovetop-Espresso/dp/B008G48DW4

    Desktop Computers

    Seems like a ton of $ for a low performance desktop. $1k plus you need to buy memory and SSD? That's absurd when you start pricing out desktop equivalents. My HTPC uses an Intel NUC from a few generations back. I love it. I just think they have lost their mind on the pricing of this new generation.

    The bigger picture here is Brad was slammed when the Kickstarter project launched and he was criticized for many aspects of it, one of which was the rewards tiers.
