I need coffee the moment I get out of bed. I usually a coffee man, but nowadays I drink an herbal tea at night or a black tea if I need a kick, used to drink coffee all day and night and I can't anymore it keeps me up too late.

Yeah, I love Alien but Prometheus sucked. It had great visuals that still stick with me vividly after all these years, as I only saw it once when it was in theaters. But damn the movie was a mess, it was very clearly a direct prequel to Alien that they then changed and expanded out to become a launch pad for it's own mini franchise, and the movie is a jumbled mess because of it.

Get finasteride and rogaine. They work, and Ive never had any problems or side effects

Carne asada or skirt steak? they're thin cuts of meat... that look like rags?

Rib-eye at home. Porterhouse at a steakhouse of course

McDonald's
Burger King
Wendy's
Taco Bell

This is hella fuckin spoilers

This. TC knows what he's doing

I think Odyssey is the best Mario since 64. I did love galaxy 1/2 as well.

I love it, but only on specific things. Nachos and chili are my usuals for it. I don't put it on tacos or burritos, but if it comes already in I don't mind. I also don't mind if it's an ingredient in a dish or dip.

I DONT like them on my baked potatoes tho. Too much for me.

Full disclosure, I enjoy most of the ST, hate the PT, and am an OT purest so make of that what you will with my opinion.

I despise Solo. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I found the movie to be completely unnecessary both in terms of story, but also because of how ridiculous it is to attempt a Solo movie. Harrison Ford IS Han Solo, I understand characters can have multiple actors, they did it with Obi-Wan. But Harrison Ford was already young when we first meet Han, we get a... slightly younger Han? Okay..

The fact is Harrison Ford made the role, just as much as the role made him. And I'm not even his biggest fan as an actor overall, but damn no one else can play that part. Also, it truly feels irrelevant in the SW zeitgeist, which is the biggest sin of all. TPM and AotC might truly suck, but at least people care to discuss them, have opinions of them etc. Solo is truly just a movie that's "there" and no SW film should ever be that

I do salt, pepper, garlic powder as my go to. I've recently starting added some lemon juice on top on both sides as well (bottled is fine) and grilling.

The acidity of the lemon juice helps break down the meat on thicker cuts and makes it nice and tender and enhances the flavor without really having any strong lemon taste. It's very subtle on steak and you wouldnt know it's there if you don't know it was used. Really nice.

Where the hell have you been comrade

@Blue_Inigo good guy, GREAT guy!!

*audience cheers*

I stopped posting on here mostly cause I felt it was bringing me down, and I wanted to get back out in the world, be more actively socially etc. Also, my work as taken off so I don't really have the drive to post much any more. I do lurk all the time, and right now with the quarantines I drop in from time to time

Theres a solid book called what you want is in the limo. It's about a year in which Alice Cooper, The Who, and Led Zeppelin were all touring and how they intersect and what the music scene was like at that time.

Idk about TX but I know in NY, they've discussed graduating all seniors. Which makes sense considering even regular decision college applications would have already been sent in before the stay at home orders. Finishing up the school year for seniors wouldn't really be necessary. No one cares what your grades are on your finals after college acceptance.

Junior mints say fuck your opinion

Now this is a good guy, GREAT guy for reason!!

Depends on what it is, but I generally love chocolate and mint. Chilled Junior Mints are my go-to at the movies.

There's a lot of different methods, types etc. Ultimately, the prepping of coffee is a chemical process, so a lot of factors can affect the taste. But like anything food related, don't worry too much. There is truth to differences in high-quality beans, cultivars, where they're grown etc. But a lot of people who talk about coffee are just full of bs.

At the end of the day like any beverage find a brand you like, prepare it how it tastes good to you, and that's it :)

I found FFXV to be a total breeze and broken combat wise. I'm currently playing through FF7R on normal, I'm about 2/3rds through and while it's not hard, it definitely can require you to think tactically and use all the mechanics. Things are somewhat easier if you played the original FF7, understand how to use materia etc. I do find it to be more challenging than FFXV though. Make of that what you will.

I hate "beat game on hard mode" trophies, or other difficulty based trophies. Pure grind. I don't mind replaying but just having to replay at a different diffculty is dumb. Also, don't get started on games that have it for "beat game on easy" and it doesn't pop for playing normal or higher :/

I remember them from high school, my go to buttrock band of the time was breaking benjamin tho

Yup. It was my gateway into anime. I watched it for the first time at a friends house in the 90s, it was somewhere in the namek saga and was just instantly captivated. I then watched the whole thing from the beginning up through Namek (at the time DBZ was only dubbed up through the appearance of the Ginyu force).

Then I became friends with some older kids who turned me on to fansub tapes, watched all of DB, DBZ, GT on fansubs and from there got into anime. Watching Neon Genesis Evangelion as a 12 year old was probably the most wild mindfuck of my young years.

Hmm interesting. I assume it was intended for fighting games

Now, its personal

Loooool, well played

Also, there is no scenario where this doesn't ultimately lead to some people on teams getting it. Not from playing but no matter how well sequestered they are, they're gonna need to use gym facilities, cooks and catering, trainers and coaches, ball boys and equipment guys, security etc etc. They're gonna come into contact with the virus and it will spread. Not wishing it at all, but even with the best of intentions and top precautions starting next month is too soon

It's really good, and I so enjoyed watching all these legends both in front and behind the camera be at the top of their game. Truly amazing to see dudes who are almost 80 be so effortlessly good.

I'm a Scorsese fanatic and to me it's not his best work. Doesn't touch Goodfellas, Casino, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver or Departed for me, but damn top to bottom Irishman is a really well made, meticulously crafted film.

I do if amazon or best buy offer discounts. Back when GCU was around from Best Guy, with the $10 certificates for preorder, 20% off new games, and trading them back in when I beat em I could play new games for no money out of pocket. Was amazing... also probably bad for business hence why they got rid of GCU lol

Mickey's has forties?

Yessir. At least here in Los Angeles

The only thing I can get near me is Mickey's in glass. I loved Colt when I was a kid, and drank OE all the time too. Drinking out of plastic just isn't the same. I did love me a brass monkey in college though

How do you disinfect it?

A disinfecting wipe, soap and water, etc

I actually haven't been disinfecting my groceries. Its the one thing I don't really want to do as I dont love the idea of putting chemicals near my food packaging. Non perishable stuff I've also been putting it off to the side and leaving it for a few days till the virus dies out. For the pershible stuff I put it in the fridge but I wash my hands every time I touch stuff, during cooking I'll wash multiple times if I touch multiple packages throughout making the food.

I also try to take produce out of the packages etc and wash them and throw away the containers if I can

post dat recipe, will try!

I'm a former smoker. The only thing that worked for me was truly wanting to quit, cliche but true.

My advice is don't use any substitutes (patches, gum, vape etc), because you have to train yourself on the mental side of the addiction not just the physical. What I did was I forced myself whenever I had a craving was to hold out as long as possible, sit down, white knuckle it etc, till I truly couldn't take it anymore. Then i'd go out and have a smoke.

At first I could only go a short time, but over days and weeks the time I would go in between cravings slowly got longer and longer and the amount and the intensity got less and less too. I slowly cut down to just a few a day, then I was able to go every other day.

Finally I forced myself to go two days straight without a smoke and then forced myself to go "cold turkey". Obviously it wasn't truly cold turkey since I was training myself, more a like a slow weening off.

Been smoke free for 6-7 years now. The toughest part was the 6 months/a year out when I'd get a random craving, knowing your triggers (I loved a late night smoke outside for example). Having to force myself to stick with it, and tell myself I'd undo all the progress if I had even one. Now the idea of smoking is repulsive to me, the smell makes me sick etc. Crazy how much smoking rewires your brain, cause when I was a smoker nothing smelled better than cig.

Sorry btw if this isn't the kind of advice your looking for, but I always like sharing it cause it worked for me and I want to see others have the same success!

the actual cake looked nice, frosting is ugly but if it tastes okay then sure

probably cause it would extend the time for each turn in so many ways, (more commands, more enemies on the other side to make the game challenging in any form etc) and thus extend the time of every random battle and thus making grinding even more annoying than it is.

millions of people in a densely populated city who all live in massive apartment buildings and all use tightly packed public transportation systems.

As someone who is a born and raised NYer its very hard to stop the initial spread just from a logistical standpoint

Curtains313 posted...

wow. makes me think we probably had thousands of covid cases before most areas started keeping count.

For sure. I live in LA, so its a major city with tons of tourism etc. Millions of people coming in and out every day. I have a hard time believing it just stayed contained in one spot on the planet when we have thousands of flights a day all over the world. Especially with the fact that we know now people can spread the virus while being asymptomatic, it definitely was here for a while. On top for the fact we've only truly begun testing in earnest now.

Also, just because it was first identified late last year doesn't mean thats when the virus first began infecting people. It could have and most likely had been around for some time before the medical community was able to identify it as a new virus

@MabusIncarnate

I did!

I had a bad fever Feb 1. Aches, chills, extreme fatigue where I was too weak to get out of bed, could barely walk. I had diarrhea as well which is uncommon with the flu, but in 50% of COVID cases. Runny nose, some coughing. All the signs of COVID. I was really scared at the time as I've never felt so sick in my life, I actually cried at one point as I thought something was seriously wrong.

I went to the doctor and got tested for every infectious disease and got a chest X-Ray and everything came back negative. All my dr said was he thought it was viral, and he asked if I had been to China which I hadn't. It didn't cross my mind that it could be COVID-19 but now I'm almost certain it was. My family member who took me to the doctor got sick the next day with the same symptoms and had a dry cough for weeks. We both think it was COVID-19.

Group B is too stacked, Mario 3, Odyssey, Sunshine and Galaxy 2?

Soda Lake

i'm long and lean, 5'10" most ive ever weighed was 130. I'm probably around 125 right now. Haven't been working out due to the virus so ive lost muscle for sure

the story is nonsensical and unfinished, but nonsensical is standard for MGS after 1.

The gameplay is amazing. its so satisfying playing through a tough missions then you git gud and go back and realize a different path/options and complete it in minutes

it's a great zelda game. it's problem is Nintendo tried to be TOO epic with it, there's a lot of fat and padding that could be cut from it. Also the motion controls are up for debate. But i found it more enjoyable overall than TP

Also TC is correct about the life span on the virus. Even if a tiny amount is still living after a day or two, the amount of remaining virus thats viable to cause infection is so small. Even with the best of cleaning youre liking to come into contact with it somehow at some point the key is avoiding contact with people who are shedding virus and reducing your amount of exposures

i do the same thing tbh tc. I live in an apartment building with one of those lockers where they put in your package and you get emailed a code to unlock it. I've been leaving my shit in there for a few days, then once i bring it up i leave it off to the side for a day or two.

I dont want to waste my cleaning products on it, and i do want to avoid unnecessary usage as well. I'm disinfecting the hell out of my place but any time i dont have to use toxic chemicals im avoiding it.
