    The Fast Food Thread

    I always thought "mission burrito" referred to the comically oversized "two full meals rolled into a single tortilla" style typical of California burritos.

    Marvel Hierarchy

    Did the inscription stutter or something? The *only* question is whether his Cap abilities stack in any way with the Power of Thor. I don't see how they would, since they're almost entirely physical abilities that Thor has at a higher level. The only exception I can think of is that Cap...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    I assume youre objecting to the foolishly large size sometimes associated with trade paperbacks? Every book should be a 4x6 paperback, other formats are impractical and gay. But the absolute worst, hands down, is the hard cover with that fucking ridiculous dust jacket.

    True Detective

    I was optimistic, but they only get 6 episodes? No way they resolve the supernatural plotline in a satisfying way. They're either gonna scooby doo it or - much worse - ""leave it up to the audience to decide what was real"", the laziest hack ever invented by Hollywood.

    This was actually a well made and interesting video. Just straight up "heres how it works" with no BS. It could have been 10 minutes instead of 60 with proper editing but still better than most cooking videos these days.

    True Detective

    S2 and S3 were both terrible. S2 just benefited from following S1, we all gave it a chance for far longer than we otherwise would have. If he did S2 and S3 its probably safe to just take the inverse of his opinions.

    I didnt quote you or argue with your point, just following on from the earlier comment Not every post is made to dispute the post that came before it. This one is, but not every post.

    Her reaction is pretty hilariously un self aware, though. Imagine if a politician failed to deliver their campaign promises, and were criticized for it, and they came back with that same ridiculous "omg you guys are so mean!" schtick. Or a pro athlete lost a game, and were criticized for it...

    Skip seasons 2 and 3, I'm telling you. I watched like half of each one before I realized my mistake. S4 is great so far though.

    I dislike both of those versions compared to the original, but they're both obviously superior to the cave man style "move my whole goddam arm to move the cursor a few pixels" style that most mongoloids kept using.

    Dont be ridiculous. When new technology comes out and its actually better than the old version, I'm quick to adopt it.

    Decided there was no reason to continue season 3. Booooring. 1 episode into season 4. This is a completely different show than seasons 2 or 3. A much, much better show.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    What? Guess I didnt notice that season existed. WTF Daredevil was pretty watchable but WTF, they really never explained how he's still alive? It'd be like having Iron Man just randomly show up and start chillin with the Avengers. Dude was dead.

    What in the actual fuck are you talking about? I eat tons of bacon, my comment had nothing to do with fat phobia. Raw egg whites are gross.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    He showed up already in She Hulk, right? Did they explain how the fuck he's not dead? I thought he was crushed under a falling building or something at the end of his series / the defenders. I dont see how the superpower of "seeing without your eyes" gets him out of that one.

    Partially raw eggs like in Sydney's omelet or that video shown above, are fucking disgusting. I know its the official fancyass French way to do it. But its gross and nobody wants that shit. Serve that shit in a restaurant and its getting sent back 9 times out of ten. I don't care that its...

    Yes, really. This forum has an excellent track record on TV and movie recommendations. I have a hard time thinking of a case where the consensus got it wrong. The only exceptions I can come up with are really debatable, like the board consensus was right about the show overall but gave it too...

    Its not a bad strategy at all. If theres one thing the FoH consensus consistently gets right, its TV/movies.

    I sincerely appreciate the attempt to help. But that car is 20 years newer than any car Ive ever driven, and the wrong model. Chrysler town and country. The day I get in a car with something called a "Uconnect infotainment system" I'm gonna get right the fuck back out. I hate this gay earth...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    The rest of the book was flawed but readable. Itd have been tolerable as the not-very-good 2nd book in a trilogy. The fairy sex is what keeps me from wanting to reread it and absolutely makes me never recommend it to anyone.

    Ancient Civilizations

    AFAIK the biggest real concern for magnetic field reversals is the whole biosphere gets hit with much higher levels of cosmic radiation. Along with changes to weather patterns and in some cases increased volcanism. Again I am not making the claim that it leads to mass extinction or anything...

    To be fair, proponents of the catastrophic magnetic field shift stuff are usually talking about a complete reversal of the magnetic field (N to S), which has happened repeatedly throughout the earth's history. The best studied recent example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laschamp_event...

    All of this makes S4 sound more appealing, if they're gonna get rid of the "omg did it really happen or not? we'll let YOU decide" aspects and just decide what kind of story they want to tell instead. Plus it sounds like a great excuse to rewatch S1. Tried S2 and fuck I don't think I can make...

    I'm not arguing its not tasty. We make green bean casserole the traditional bullshit way every thanksgiving, using canned soup, pre-packaged french fried onions, etc. I'm just saying it doesnt count as a recipe, or cooking, any more than following the instructions on the back of the chef...

    I'm confused by this. I think we did it differently. I'm not saying you did it wrong of course, I dont know shit about rice. But definitely differently. I don't understand why, but its not ready until about 40+ minutes after the timer says its ready. I guess it needs to steam for a while...
