Only some wealthy countries.

And not even all the wealthy ones. Japan and Australia have atrocious vaccinaton rates.

The Japan one confuses me. Ganted I don't know everything about Japan, but aren't they pretty considerate about health and not spreading germs? Wearing a mask when sick is a thing they've done for a long time. You'd think the vaccine would be something they would take as a Civil or personal duty.

They are, but I've heard they can be a real handful and kind of annoying.

Either is nice, though I do have a fondness for the party cut(squares). It's mainly based on nostalgia because some of the best Pizza places where I grew up used a Party cut.

Got my first one(Moderna) a week ago, I go back for the 2nd one at the end if the month.

didn't the dream team lose to college kids

Yes, in their first practice game. There are caveats though. The story Coach K gives is that Jordan barely played and Daly didn't make any adjustments at all. He essentially threw the game to prove a point and make them take it seriously.

Arthritis?

4 was too dark and depressing and it just felt hopeless. The addons I felt were better, Gay Tony and Lost and the Damned. Also the controls and car physics were trash.

5 was definitely way over the top and missions defaulted to mass murder spree too often. The controls weren't great but were less appalling than 4.

4 and 5 each had high spots and low spots that are pains in the ass. I do like 5 much better than 4 because the story doesn't depress me, the setting is better and the controls aren't so weebly wobbly.

1-4 and Judgement. Have not got around to Gears 5 yet.

M*a*s*h

All my others were mentioned already. So one that hasn't:
Prime Undertaker vs Sting (Crow version)

This.

Theres probably a dozen ways to account for it. The problem becomes then that the turkey becomes soggy. An oven is preferable for things that arent supposed to get mushy. Honestly, Im hesitant to ever use the microwave. The way things melt when you leave them in too long doesnt sit right with me.

Same with using fire to cook. Charred black? Isnt that full of carcinogens?

Another thing I like is a cool one. I have a little microwave steamer thing that came from an instant meal. It's got a small dish with a smaller basket that fits in it. You can put some water or broth in the bottom and the basket holds the food over it so it steams instead of stews. It's a nice quick way to heat things up without soaking it. I will point out my taste on food is pretty basic and I'm fairly easy to please. lol.

I feel like if I reheat it it'll dry out

I usually put it in a bowl and put in a little chicken broth to keep it from drying out when I nuke it.

The end of the main story of Red Dead Redemption 2, and the end of Spiderman PS4.

Is that a Stomper? I remember those. Had a handful of them.

Blues Brothers is getting there

So is Blazing Saddles. Only ones left are Mel Brooks, Burton Gilliam(Lyle) and Robyn Hilton (Miss Stein, the Governor's Secretary). The rest of the main and supporting cast who had any lines have passed I believe.

Ground beef, Bacon, mushrooms and Extra cheese.

I do like Pepperoni, Sausage and Canadian Bacon too, but my go Pizza joint has Pepperoni that's a bit too spicy for me anymore. It just doesn't agree with me nowadays.

I always believed that when the character ran its course they should have had him get clocked with a chair and knocked out. Then when he comes to he would be a well spoken, snotty sadistic heel. I still can't figure out how they didn't try that. It seemed so obvious.

The Oscars are all stuff and nonsense and pretentious films championed by arty farty jackasses. Fuck the Oscars.

Yep, it's super pretentious bullshit that for the most part is liked only by a small portion of the movie going audience. Plus, it's all fucking rigged and snobbishly exclusionary.

I have fond memories of SA too but it's honestly pretty bad by modern standards

This.

In a vacuum GTA: San Andreas is the most fun and the best IMO. Compared to more modern installments like 4 and 5 it's so ugly and ancient.

If they would do a modern remake taking advantage of new technology with a larger scale I would be thrilled beyond belief.

Red Dead Redemption 2, they're totally F'd

has any proof ever come out of the accusations? Did any former staff ever reveal anything about him?

It's the old story of power and connections. He can ruin careers, so until a bunch of people are ready to unite and come forward all at once it will stay a rumor.

The Peppermint bark ones for Christmas are awesome.

This is mine

I like Jack's

cheap, easy to bake, and not too filling if you eat the whole thing
Mexican Style 4 lyfe

+1.

I love Jack's, I get the Sausage and Pepperoni, add some Mushrooms or Canadian Bacon and a bit of extra cheese. That's my jam.

I used to swear by Digiorno until I had one that refused to be cooked. I've never legit had a defective frozen pizza till that day. I baked this thing by the instructions and it was done on the outside and frozen on the inside still. I tried baking a little bit longer, same thing. Eventually I gave up on eating it but I just kept going to see if it ever got done on the inside. 2 hours and it never did, the outside was obviously burnt to hell.

I was shocked the other day while driving home I passed about 10 Trump supporters at a busy corner who had signs and flags out trying to get people to honk. I was pleased that nobody honked while I was there. Still have no clue what the fuck they were out there for though.

PrettyBoyFloyd posted...

Trump couldn't just order armed Military guards to wonder the streets and keep people home.

Nice try. He could've have been a responsible leader and not downplayed masks, social distancing and other common sense approaches. Instead he was a cheerleading his chud army to be as irresponsible and selfishly destructive as possible. Now there's a large segment of the population that believes it's a hoax, masks are evil oppression and won't get the vaccine.

There are other countries that have this under far better control. Had dipshit been half the leader he thinks he is we'd be in a much better place.

Every now and then I like one. Sometimes I'll break off the pieces and scoop them in peanut butter.

I actually prefer the Fried chicken from Publix grocery stores(I live in Florida) to KFC.

The Popeye's here is too far away from the house, and they had a major roach problem a few years back so I get a little squeamish about that place.

We had a Church's open up, but it was overpriced garbage. 3 out of 4 people in the house either got sick or had an allergic reaction. Needless to say I never went back, and not many of the initial rush did either. It's a ghost town now after just a year of being open.

The next thing opening up here is a Del Taco, which should be interesting.

I've been to a Riverboat Casino once. Just played some slots because I didn't have much money to play with. We were really just killing some time before a baseball game.

I've never been to one, how does it compare to Five Guys

gonna be deplatformed quickly because or hate and terroristic threats being allowed on it they better moderate it good

What do you think happens first, deplatforming the whole thing or a massive data breach due to half assed security?

I'm sure it will be built with the same care and eye for details the way his businesses and administration were famous for. lol

I thought texas got rid of the mask mandate totally? What is the point of getting rid of such a mandate if businesses in the state can still tell you that you need to wear a mask in their building. For such a mandate to be removed would mean people can freely go anywhere without a mask, not for a business to just pick and choose when its the right time. What an epic fail

You know those signs businesses used to have that said "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone", and the cake makers who won the right to refuse service to a gay couple? That's why Abbott's order means fuck all to responsible businesses.

3 times, voted 2 in error. Launch model.

First time Microsoft fixed it. The second time I found instructions to fix it online and Macgyver'd it myself till it finally died in third one. At that point I just got the Elite version and never had a problem with it.

Coffee. The smell used to make me borderline gag, which made going down the coffee aisle in the grocery store a pain. I've gotten over that but still will not ever drink it.

Any kind of shell fish or crustacean.

Crunchy vegetables. Soft is cool, but I have issues with crunchy ones for some reason

Pumpkin anything

Sweet Potatoes

Any recipe that mixes fruit(aside from tomatoes) and meat

Chinese food, I don't like the flavors. The people that keep trying to get me to have it keep telling me I just went to bad places the few times I've tried. The problem is they were the ones who took me so why should I trust them? lol

Never read the book, and literally just saw the trailer 5 minutes before I opened this thread. It actually looks good.

I will say I understand the trepidation. I'm waiting to see if/how Hollywood screws up one of my favorite books with the Gray Man series.

YES! I've wanted a Batman Beyond game from the Arkham team for a long tine.

Ive lived right outside of Chicago my entire life, about 15-20 minutes from OHare, so I know what you mean. During my second behind-the-wheel drivers ed lesson, my instructor took me onto a highway and told me to keep up with the speed of traffic. So I was driving 80+ mph on just my second time on the road.

Still dont think that was a smart way of teaching someone... <_<;

That's insane. For me it was a shock because I came from a small town of 15,000. I had been to Chicago multiple times but driving there my first time was terrifying. I will say the benefit is I was never scared about driving to new places anymore after that. I may not like it, but I'm not scared of it as long as it's not some infamous death road or something.

Florida in general takes forever. I-10, I-75, and I-95 are just hours of driving without getting out of the state, and I-4 is just hell on Earth

It's deceptive coming in the first time. I came down my first time driving and misjudged how long it would take and ended up nodding off somewhere on 95. Don't know if it was 5 second or 5 minutes. It scared the hell out of me though and I vowed to never try that again.

Kansas and Iowa are the two worst Ive driven through. Ive never been through Nebraska, but I figure its on par with those two.

I'd imagine most Mid West states are. I grew up in Illinois and drove through Wisconsin and Iowa quite a bit. Outside of the urban areas it's just boring. The one nice thing was making good time outside of those urban areas. More often than not I had empty road and just set the cruise control at 90 mph and blasted where I needed to get without having to adjust.

I will add, driving to Chicago, near O'Hare within a week of getting my license was a butt clenching experience.

$35 on Xbox store but Id be using a $10 rewards voucher, sorry shouldve specified

God damn it. I just bought it like a week and half ago.

Anyway I just started it and I'm liking it, but I'm really super early into it and I like the series. I am just getting to England though. If you do get it I might recommend choosing the male character, he's a better voice actor than the female, if that matters to you.

The biggest thing I remember about 4 (and it was probably coming from this board back in the day) was that people were complaining about the graphics being too realistic. They were hoping that the graphic style would remain "cartoony" like the GTA III games (which was more of a product of Rockstar not having the budget of a AAA studio when III came out more than anything).

Oh, that and getting the "Cousin! Let's go bowling!" phone call every 5 minutes.

Fuck! I had mentally blocked that. I forgot about the annoying way you would get calls to do activities right while you were trying to do other things. Then you would get a ding to the relationship score for declining the offer too.

On the surface it could have helped make it feel more like a living world, but the execution just made it an irritant.

For all of it's cool little touches 4 is not one I'm very fond of. The physics had nice touches like the way people reacted to being shot or hit, but other than that it was wobbly and clunky.

The driving was shit, the cars all felt like heavy, lurching shit boxes.

The story was promising but ended up just being very depressing. It really affected the fun for me.

I did like some things though. I liked being able to go to random clubs and shows which made it feel more like a living world.

I also loved being able to call up to have guns (and cars in the expansions) delivered to you.

Also that they opted for seedy underground places to get weapons instead of Ammunation, which fits much better with the criminal element the franchise is built on IMO.

To the TC, if you are not liking 4 I would recommend 5. While it's not like San Andreas or 3 it's closer than 4 is. The driving is more fun, the physics aren't as clunky and the gameplay is more fun IMO. 5 was kind of a correction from 4 the way I look at it. They went too far in one direction with 4, and 5 was them moving a bit back the other way.

Didn't they recently do a wedding, shooting, murder mystery with Tommy Dreamer doing a Sherlock Holmes bit?

Yes, because these are Americans and a US state. I would however get an ironclad commitment that they will undo the disastrous policies that allowed this to happen and force them back onto the national grid. Clearly their thinking that they can take care of themselves was just overly proud bravado.
