Youre saying there is not a SINGLE ingredient out there that you could substitute it with? Really?

Not if your making certain dishes. Flambe requires alcohol, and the french onion soup I make requires alcohol. You can't replicate the flavor. I've tried. I got to have that little bit of cooking wine or brandy.

It used to be Brontosaurus until I found out that it never actually existed, so now its the Brachiosaurus, which in of itself is essentially the same thing. I'm also a massive fan of Megalodons, the ancient Crocs which were 30-40 feet long (whose name escapes me), and obviously Raptors.

Impossible Burgers (or other Impossible plant-based alternatives) are delicious and taste just like the real thing. Beyond meats? Not so much.

I wouldn't say they taste like the real thing. They aren't bad, I've had them myself, but I know the difference between the two, even if I was blindfolded.

i still don't understand this guys appeal at all.

its more or less that he doesn't shelter what he feels about something. He is very unbias when it comes to his reviews and tells it as it is. Plus he's fairly well spoken. I believe, and I might be wrong about this, but he's one of the top, if not the top food review channel on Youtube.

You'll forgive me if I don't go to a 17 year old wearing a tie for fast food opinions. What does Joey's World Tour think about it?

...the guy is in his 24, not 17, and has been doing that style of reviewing for 10 years.

Black Cat. Catwoman is just like Batman. She's a regular woman. Black Cat, Felicia Hardy, was injected with something similar to Captain Americas super soldier serum (hell it might have been caps super soldier serum). She's literally better than Catwoman in every single way.

The only downside is that she isn't promoted like Catwoman is in DC.

Morgan Webb I can agree, she wasn't super beautiful but she understood the material and was well respected in the industry, but I've long since noted that Olivia Munn was a bitch. I don't use that term lightly. I was impartial to her right up until the David Jaffe incident. It was clear that she took things too far at that point. But even looking before that, she specifically used her sex appeal to get the position she had. She had no idea about anything game related, nor did she understand anything tech related; and was clearly using her body as a way to keep herself on the air. This is strictly based on the G4 era, not her work afterwards.

There were women on the original Attack of the Show who understood more about tech than Munn did, but she was placed on screen ahead of them, and now that new women are replacing her, morons expect that they should act the same as she did, without giving those women a chance to prove that they belong on that set and know the business they are working in.

The reason some people start and continue to act the way that they do was because of a handful of people paint a deplorable picture of themselves and that gets spread to the masses.

Either way, I actually enjoy listening to the new female AOTS/X-Play hosts and wish them luck with what they are doing.

weird... its literally SNLs youtube channel. Its called In Memoriam - SNL 40th Anniversary Special

Had to post this, in case anyone has never seen it. 3:50 mins in

Shadow Hearts 1 for turn-based
Terranigma for Action based
Eternal Sonata for Action-instanced

All of them, but I'm Canadian so that isn't much of a stretch. Spelling Saskatchewan is a bit of a pain in the ass, and I almost always forget which one comes first, that or Manitoba.

As I'm Atlantic Canadian and all we have is KFC and I absolutely refuse to vote that as its disgusting, I'm voting Mary Browns, which if you've had it.... you know....

I know that my cousins husband has been put under a lot of stress lately with trucking. They switched from a manual log to an automated log, which sounds good in theory, until you realize that you are forced to stop when the log tells you to stop, even if your not tired. So 9 times out of 10 he could be driving down the road absolutely exhausted, but have no choice as he was forced to be on the road otherwise he'd get penalized.

He would much rather have his own hours. When to pick stuff up, when to drop it off, as he could make it on time and sleep when he felt tired, and go through cities when there were barely any vehicles or construction on the road.

Wasn't universal soldier jcvd

yes, yes he was. It also featured Dolph Lundgren, and to a lesser extend Michael Jai White.

Personally, and I'm going to get flak for this, I never got into the Terminator franchise. I've seen some of them, but I like Arnolds other work. I grew up watching Universal Soldier, though with my memory, I can't for the life of me remember the progression of the films lol.

League of Legends. Not that I want to play it atm anyways.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Special mention to Office Space and The One.

I would assume the first thing that would need to be done is to try out authentic street food, most notably real Pad Thai.

Can't you play it for free if a friend is the one who bought it? Or at least that seems to be the case on Steam.

It's literally half off right now, and whoever you play it with gets to play it with you for free. Or you can buy 1 month of game pass which has it on it, which costs less than 15 dollars, and you get 50+ other great games at the same time, and again, your friend can play for free.

I've spoken on this before, but I played It Takes Two with my Brother in Law, first time we ever spoke, on New Years Eve. We finished the game in about 15 hours and we never laughed harder.

4-5 hundred dollars. If your just using it to browse the web and take notes with no desire to play games on it, I'd personally remove the Windows OS and put on a Linux OS like Mint or Ubuntu, as Windows can be a resource hog.

Slayer_22 posted...

Why would I pay 40 dollars to be forced to play garbage with someone else?

so.... your admitting that you never played it, yet feel the need to shit all over it because your too inconvenienced to get someone to play it with you.

Play the game first before talking bad about it.

Worst fast food fries are Burger King

they don't taste bad or anything, but I mysteriously get a headache soon after eating them

KFC fries for me. Literally bland, tasteless and never seasoned.

Not my particular cup of tea, but its not bad looking. I got a pup last year, here's a picture of him:
He's a bit older now, and his colors have brightened to a light brown/tan color now.

While I like Deathwing... the entire expansion really didn't do him justice. If I'm forced to pick from that list alone then I'll probably go with Spyro or Shenron.

If I'm allowed to add my own Dragon, then Bahamut from Final Fantasy; or Galakrond from Warcraft lore, though WoW has never actually used him outside of I believe his skeleton in Icecrown.

No. I use alcohol for cleaning electronics, and I like to have a shot of something every now and then to calm my nerves.

...Bro, what the fuck

Trust me... she wasn't the first nutjob. There was about 4 women that turned me off from dating for a good 6-7 years. I'm an introvert by nature, so having to deal with clashing personalities just isn't good for me.

I went on a date with a girl where she brought her friend. I didn't think much of it. And it went fine the first date, though there was a bit of a warning that I didn't pay much attention to, which was that she smoked when her messages to me said she didn't. We went to see a movie. Didn't talk to her until a couple days later when she messaged me asking to drop by my place as she was at a party and things got out of hand, and she didn't feel comfortable going home. So she dropped over and stayed the night (I didn't sleep with her, lord knows I wanted to). In the middle of making out, she literally went into a full on seizure, which passed after half a minute, but I gave her a blanket/pillow and she fell asleep on my living room floor.

So I went to bed, woke up and she was passed out on my couch. Later that day she apologized, and she hung out with me until the next night it happened again. This time it didn't pass, and the ambulance was called. I find out from the EMT that she was having a full on Alcohol induced seizure. Do you have any idea how much booze you have to drink to have one of those? That wasn't even the most fucked up part. At some point during the day when I wasn't watching her, she downed half a 40 of Vodka that I had in my cupboard (which I use for mix). Didn't ask me if she could have my liquor. EMTs went through her purse for ID, only to find 4 different IDs with 4 different names/addresses on them.

They bring her to the hospital (we live in Canada, its free), and she has the nerve the next morning to check herself out by telling the nurse that I was going to be picking her up. I literally told her that wasn't happening and that was the last I saw of her, outside of getting my shirt back from her, which she slept in.

Too bad too.... she was easily a 9/10. 5'6, Goth and a very nice body.

Thank you. When you put it that way, maybe I should find a therapist to talk to.

yw. I didn't mean any harm by my previous message.

Before I stopped drinking Soda, my go-to was 1 of 2: Crush Birch Beer or Crush Lime. Both of which are Atlantic Canada specialty sodas. If I couldn't find either of them, then it was Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Coke Zero, or Jones Strawberry Lime.

No offense, but not reading the topic and replying with some generic BS that Ive heard many times over doesnt do anything for me.

One of my aunts was a full on schizophrenic who during the same day threatened my entire family and also questioned why no one wanted to be around her. My other aunt, was a psychopath who tried to sue my entire family because we put flowers on my grandfathers grave.

The first 3 woman I'd ever gone on dates with were complete nutjobs that turned me off from dating for a good few years. The first one during our 3rd date proceeded to flip out at me when I gave her a rose, threatened to make me disappear if I ever cheated on her, and when I told her to get out of my car, asked me to come back to her place to get her pregnant. All in the same conversation.

Meanwhile my best friends wife took him to therapy convincing him that he was depressed and that same therapist prescribed him medication for depression, all the while she was having sex with a co-worker that was selling her weed. This same woman after he found out and divorced her attempted to sue him for half the stuff he owned, not realizing that she signed a prenup. She then asked him over the phone to pay for 50 percent of the lawyers bills, which obviously he laughed at. He's doing much better now.

This doesn't even touch what happened with his mother, which is by far more messed up.

Are any of these as bad as what you listed? absolutely not. But we all have our demons. Talk to a therapist. They are paid as an impartial medium to listen to you and give you their thoughts on the matter and believe you me, if you find a good one, they are extremely effective at providing you advice that can and will change your life. I've had to use one in the past and it helped me out a ton during a very depressing time in my life, the same one told me to cut the negative influences out of my life that were affecting me personally.

I didn't read all that, but family are people who support you throughout your life, not necessarily the ones your directly blood-linked to. I consider my best friend to be like a brother to me, as he's helped me out with a ton of things in my life, meanwhile my aunt who isn't blood-related but related through marriage, accused my adoptive father of some pretty nasty things. We don't talk to her side of the family anymore.

I have a desk very similar to that one, just a basic L-shaped desk. Its great.

I guarantee you, if you do that to someone at work and they complain, you'd be given a stern talking to. If you did it again, then you'd be fired.

And that would be a fair way to approach it, but it shouldn't be a direct firing, and at the same time, it shouldn't be classified as assault.

A slap to the back of the head isn't an insult, its a wake up call.
Games released before the N64 should be free for everyone to play.
You shouldn't need a college degree to apply for most base level jobs above retail.

Any form of copyright should be restricted to 15-20 years, after that you have 6 months to renew the claim while it is put in "limbo". After that, it is put on to the free market, where people have access to its schematics if any, or the item itself for free use. Anyone can use said item, but cannot use the item 1 to 1 for their own product. If they want to sell the product there must be some major modifications that a team must approve of. So, for example, if Capcom bought out the rights to Legend of Zelda, they would be able to use Link, but they couldn't just up and sell Zelda 1 as their own. It must be a brand new product using that character.

I think I typed that properly.... lol

Also, a random song playing in the background of a live vlog shouldn't be grounds for a copyright strike, if it was unavoidable. For example, if I were walking past a shop playing.... I don't know.... Despacito, while vlogging, my entire video shouldn't get taken down. They have gotten better at this within YouTube, but its not still at the point it should be. Also to go along with that, random people shouldn't be able to just copyright strike a video. Proof should be shown that they own the rights to something.

I haven't since the first day. I've actually gone a week without one.

well hopefully its nothing serious. Hope you feel better soon.

FortuneCookie posted...

Ugh. That sounds awful.

I drink a lot of carbonated beverages on the regular. I haven't had any sugar since getting sick.

If your still drinking carbonated drinks stop it for now, see if that helps. I used to drink 1-2 cans every couple days.

3PiesAndAFork posted...

Either you grew up in the 20's or you're a full of shit child trying to be edgy.

I'm 36. I grew up in the 90s, graduating in 03'. So no, I'm not either. I'm also Atlantic Canadian, and our laws on this kind of thing are a bit more lax than other places.

There is no edge to it. You fire someone because they don't know how to do their job, or constantly are at odds with other staff, not because of a love tap on the back of the head because someone isn't thinking straight, or is spacing out which can cause a bigger issue especially if they are handling equipment. Again, as I said before, you don't do it all the time, but to call it "Assault" is ridiculous. It can be viewed as wrong, and management should talk to them about it, but they aren't "Assaulting" you.

3PiesAndAFork posted...

Yes, but it's also workplace assault. Gibbs would have been fired three episodes in.

"Assault". People need to stop claiming nonsense like this is "Assault". It's a tap on the back of the head. Obviously don't do it all the time, but now and then its fine to make sure people are paying attention. Next your going to tell me that tapping someone on the forehead telling them to use their brain is assault.

Christ... back when I was growing up, stuff like this was normal and we weren't arresting or firing people for stuff like this. There are way too many snowflakes these days.

let me ask you this, do you consume any sugar? I know its a bit weird to ask that, but I had a chronic cold for nearly 2 years that would pop in and out, and it turns out sugar was my issue. I stopped using granulated sugar with my tea/coffee and it just went away after a couple days.

If not its just a common cold. I've had colds that lasted weeks.

his head slapping pisses me the fuck off. I would not tolerate that from anyone personally. That being said, DiNozzo deserves it most of the time.

as its pointed out multiple times in the show: A slap to the face is an insult, a slap to the back of the head is a wake up call.

XI was long but Vll was quite a bit longer. Took me about 150 hours to finish.

and that's if you can deal with the difficulty curve. Not ashamed to admit that game kicked my ass. I got about halfway through before I hard quit. I'm at the point right now where it supposedly gets a lot easier, but in order to get to that point I have to grind to beat a certain boss.

nfearurspecimn posted...

I don't remember this at all

Final 2 episodes of season 3.

Baten Kaitos. The main story is extremely long, to 100 percent you have to spend at least 125 hours. Also have to mention Binding of Isaac. While the initial game isn't long, to 100 percent.... well I have a very very long time put into it and I still haven't cleared it. I'm having a lot of issues with my logitech keyboard as there are times when it will lag or just not let my character move.
