Ozarks pilot episode is insane and the first season is pretty good.

If the show stuck the landing it would probably have a better reputation. That ending..

silver mountain water by Creed

I have a small amount of Green Irish Tweed that a friend gifted me. Should I get a Creed sample/gift pack? I like it, but I really want to try Silver Mountain Water and Aventus. I see people selling Creed cologne on FB Marketplace but I'm scared they are trying to scam people with reproduction scents.

As someone who watches only English dubbed anime, I can't imagine watching a dubbed live action movie.

I'm the same way, actually. It's jarring to watch dubbed live action but I don't judge or complain if people do. With big budget anime like studio Ghibli they put a lot of effort in the dubs and it shows.

Looks like a bunch of sides. What's the main component of the meal?

The four chicken strips. I put 3 of them in the toast to make a sandwich with the sauce.

I see them all the time in Texas, but never been to one. Every single time I mention about the place, all my cousins go "Chick Fila is better".

I mean, for a simple sandwich maybe. One area Zaxby's clearly beats Chick-fil-A is their salads. Salads at Zaxby's are much closer to something you would get a sit down restaurant. Oh, and Zaxby's has real wings in addition to fingers.

Chick-fil-A has breakfast and that's one of the few reasons I go there.

For 12.49 (in my store) you get...

4 chicken strips
A generous portion of crinkle fries
Small order of cheese curds
Two pieces of toast
A Mr Beast chocolate bar (saving it for later)
A coke freestyle drink

I couldn't finish it all. I feel like I got twice the food I would of got at McDonald's or Taco Bell for a similar price.

I saw it a few days ago. It's unbelievable that movie only cost $15M to make.

So does Unicorn Overlord suck? It just came out but no one talks about it.

I did that at work once. I wedged something in the door to make a little crack, then used some bailing wire with a little hook on the end to fish out my keys.

Now both my cars have proximity keys so I can't do it anymore.

I think I saw a gif of this years ago with no source. I could never even remember enough of what I saw to search for it. You have ended a quest for me.

I was going to post it from YT but it was age restricted so I couldn't embed it. There is a glorious fight where a 10ft tall Ninja takes on a monk and blows up into 5 regular sized ninjas. You can easily find it if you search for Duel to the Death clips, there aren't many on YouTube.

This was the coolest thing Ive seen in almost ever. I always enjoy random no-reason explosions. Like, random talking head? Lets blow that up, too! You got it, boss!

The saw the whole movie back when I had a DVD sub from Netflix. A friend who likes obscure Hong Kong action movies recommended it. It's 80s cheese but it's very watchable. There are tons of crazy fights like that. The hero has to fight against a lot of Ninja magic, including the Japanese stereotype of "Kamakazi" ninjas showing up on kites and blowing people up.

This movie is a treat to watch. So many crazy fights like this.

Given all that we know now about how obscenely dangerous the original show was and how badly people got injured, I can't see this modern-day reboot being anything close to as entertaining as the original.

I saw the documentary as well. Wasn't it pretty much just the "Human Cannonball" event that caused so much injury? They could scrap that one event I guess. Leave the Joust, the Wall, and of course Assault. Oh, and Powerball. Some of those games are classic.

Baseball has definitely got more nerdy in the past decade with statcast. Launch angle, wRC+, BABIP, etc...

Now this year they are measuring bat swing dynamics for the individual players. When does it stop?

I love Reacher too. I remember someone here on CE calling it the ultimate "male power fantasy" show.

I hope they keep the series going for at least 5+ seasons. I also hope they stray from the books at some point. I agree that season 2 wasn't as good, but I did like the story arc from the past where Reacher's MP investigator unit defied orders. They could seriously do a whole season about Reacher's past with the military but I don't know if that's ever in the books.

My 9 year old son loves him. Mr. Beast and his friends have this inside joke about how "69" is a funny number or whatever, and they bring it up on a lot of videos. My two young kids joke about it but they don't even know what it is. I haven't had that "Dad" talk yet.

They made a really cool game I played on DOS back in the day, "Fantasy Empires".

It was like a D&D game mixed with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". BUT the battles were real-time action based where you controled the hero and your army was controlled by the computer.

Yeah there is a hotel we go to that has like 15 floors. The building is a giant cylinder and you can walk out of your hotel room and look straight down to the bottom. It makes me nervous leaning over just a little bit. Even looking up and seeing people at the top is slightly concerning for me.

Edit: Found a picture of it.

This thread is making me nastalgic of the time me and my younger cousin played Dark Alliance 2 together over summer vacation 20ish years ago at my Grandparent's house RIP :(

I kinda sorta want drop $30 on it and see if my daughter will play it with me co-op on the Switch. The gameplay still holds up, I'm sure. 2 Player makes it so much more fun though.

She's been married to the same guy forever too. IIRC he's a regular guy from her home town and they are never seen together in public.

Birria Tacos at my local spot, I ate there last weekend. Right now this is my favorite taco style. Shredded, tender roast beef and cheese stuffed in a tortilla and pan fried then sprinkled with onions, cilantro, and lime juice. Dip it in the broth kind of like a Mexican "French Dip" sandwich but in taco form. Soooo good.

I remember having a blast with my cousin playing DA2 co-op over a summer.

Dragon Quest (Warrior) 1 is one of the four RPGs in my stupid kid phase where I ran/avoided enemy battles, and wondered why I wasn't doing so well/unable to progress. I would like to revisit it and play properly this time.

I replayed it not long ago on original hardware after almost 30 years! I beat it of course, but I forgot how grindy the game is. It's kinda relaxing to play if you are watching something else like baseball or a documentary on another TV (that worked great for me).

Dragon Ques 2 is an order of magnitude better and way more fun since you have a party of 3 instead of 1 charcacter, but some people hate it because it assumes you read the instruction manual and it's really hard to know where to go without any help.

My last dealer experience wasn't too bad, We got a brand new, loaded Durango R/T in 2020 for right at $50K I think. But they beat us up in the financing office, I thought I was waving most of the "bloat" they try to tack on but he snuck in a few things. When I look back at how everything played out he was definitely shifty about how he was selling things.

However, I ended up doing well in the end by buying the 10 oil change package. Right after the pandemic everything shot up in price and I definitely made my money back on that.

Peanut butter and honey sandwiches are great too.

Also, sometimes I'll take crackers to work and eat peanut butter crackers. Super cheap and filling snack/lunch that way. Probably a lot of salt though.

Oh, and crunchy is the BEST! Too bad all my kids only like creamy. I have to keep a crunchy jar all for myself in the pantry.

One of my buddies is doing that, except it's with scotch. His daughter is 5 I think and he already has 5 years of Macallan 18 stashed away. The thought is that when she's ready to move out or go to college they'll give her the whole series and it will be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Newer cars are so fucking ridiculously over engineered that I'm really not surprised

Thank God my newish Durango still has a physical shifter and a regular, foot mounted e-brake.

Electronic buttons for everything is so stupid. Even worse is Tesla where you put the car in gear through the center touch screen.

So I can read or post in China/Taiwan/Russia topics without Fenris popping up immediately and flooding the thread with endless "whataboutisms" involving the USA?

Thank God

Yeah, even when I was a kid in the 90s. However, these days I have trouble finding one with all the pegs in it. I keep wanting to show my kids I'm not an "Eg-no-ra-moose" but I'm having tough luck.

Fuck Bayou Billy. jfc

I made it to the final boss, once. He had a sliver of health left when I got a game over after weeks of practice and I just couldn't take it anymore. I used the NES advantage and it makes he beat'm'up sections much more tolerable. I have a light gun for the shooting stages but then I realized the game penalizes you for using it and I died less often using the controller so I just gave up on using the light gun, even if it's more fun.

The driving stages still suck, though. It takes a lot of memorization and reflexes, similar to battle toads I guess. This game is on my bucket list to complete but It's going to be awhile before I get the motivation to try again.

I love the wall jumping, you guys are crazy. They didn't want it to be as easy as Batman or Ninja Gaiden. It takes a little skill so you can't just easily sequence break-the game unless you practice it.

....I feel like this was best possible outcome

I picked 1. I think this was the best option. My immune system would be stronger than anyone else in the planet within a few weeks.

Watched the first season, but found it meh. Most of the secondary characters are so bland and not very good actors.

Yep, one of the actors completely jumped ship and left the show in the middle of filming. They had to re-write the whole script on the fly and editeded out a major character from the books. I just gave up after the first season. You can't make Wheel of Time the next "game of thrones" cash cow series. It's more of a niche series and has too many books to adapt.

I got one but 5 years ago and my doctor wouldn't have performed the procedure if I didn't already have 3 kids. They interview you before the vasectormy, they even made me watch a video that looked like it was made in the 1970s and it was almost identical to those sex ed videos you saw in 8th or 9th grade.

The doctors that are only in it for the money don't give a shit and will just do it. I guess it depends on the insurance provider.

The pain wasn't that bad but the recovery was annoying, it took several weeks before I could orgasm without pain. I did it as an "in office" procedure so it only cost me a $35 co-pay.

Damn thats a REALLY good deal for any type of cruise lol, especially if its all inclusive.

That's about what I paid for me and the Wifey two weeks ago on our LA to Ensenada cruise. 4 Nights, but with port fees and taxes it was around $1K on the Navigator of the Seas (Royal Caribbean ship). Book early and in May (not spring break, and not summer break) and you can get a good deal.

Oh, and I would totally go on this trip! If I was single, that is. It has all the recipes for a good plot for a book or romantic comedy movie. An old flame from 3 years ago mixed with crazy, cruise ship hijinx! Steamy sex, romantic walks down the beaches on shore excursions, high rolling casino gambling, gratuitous alcohol binges, unexpected swingers, awkward encouners wih crew members, maybe a high seas crime mystery gets thrown in there. Who knows what could happen?

I'd teleport off wolrd, maybe to an Alien planet where they have advanced powers in medicine to extend my lifespan. I could be like Rick Sanchez.

I like the episode with Johnny Cash as the killer. I kind of felt sorry for his character, just a little bit.

I like some of the techical innovations of the Cybertruck and love that Elon had the balls to put something that looks like that in production.

However, and this is mostly a "Tesla" thing, but any car where you have to fiddle with a touchscreen to put the car in drive or reverse is something I'd never buy. Controlling everything through a central screen is purely a cost saving measure so they don't have to manufacture control stalks and buttons. And what happens if the screen goes out?

Have you never seen these before?

the idea is you scan your card when you enter, then the convenience store tracks what you take off the shelf and automatically charges you when you leave so you dont have to do a checkout

it doesnt work as well as they initially claimed, though

EDIT: it says right there in the picture just walk out

Nope. It might be a regional thing because I've never seen one anywhere near Atlanta where I live, even at the airport. I was at LAX yesterday and I thought it was strange. But with the minimum wage I can see more things like this happening in some markets. Similar to the New York restaurants experimenting with having their cashier's "Face timing" you from Indonesia or the Philippines.

Well, maybe not stop, but slow it down a little. I just saw this yesterday at the airport. I wonder if this is the future of retail?

Are you being sarcastic because yes they have literally broken a case fires

I thought it was extremely obvious and didn't need a /s.

Obviously, I think the Israeli government deserves it's fair share of criticism, but I get triggered when people give Hamas a level of legitimacy that they are anything but a group of thugs and killers. The only reason they want a cease fire is so they can plan their next attack and propaganda campaign.

Breaking news: Israel breaks ceasefire.

Right, Israel has a history of breaking ceasefires and lobbing rockets without any notice into peaceful settlements. Also, how dare they launch a surprise attack into Gaza, breaking the peace they started when they withdrew troops and removed settlements during the Bush administration.

I'm about to get in a Boeing plane in like 5 hours. Wish me luck.

Oh no the Jewish fee fees

We can't have big booty threads anymore but blatant antisemitism is a-ok. What a wonderful place this site has become.

There is a Christmas short that is also good in the "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas" anthology movie where Max thinks his dad is an idiot for believing in Santa Claus. Kelsey Grammer does the narration, maybe you guys have all seen it? For a direct to video Christmas special it's really good.

I think it's cheaper to manufacture if the vehicle has more glass. So they come up with a "feature" that actually cuts corners and upcharge you at the same time.

I think it's probably OK as general small talk but I wouldn't bring it up. Now, of the girl is getting super personal with questions pertaining to how many kids you want to have and when you want to get married that might be a red flag for me.

dq didnt get great until dq3 imo. 1/2 arent worth playing today

Nah, I got both those games last year at my local used game swap shop. I played them back to back, DQ1 is just a grind fest but maybe worth playing for the history. DQ2 is amazing for how improved it is. Once you get the ship it basically turns into an open world RPG. It's properly hard, too, unlike the 1st game where you can just grind yourself up in levels and keep making progress.

The NES game is where it's at, you actually get encounters like this...You'll never see this in any of the remakes.
