Do Roku's have a "casting" ability so I can play something from my laptop to the tv? -- nm - spamlet Dec 22, 12:45 5

- yeah, that was not pretty. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 12:26
- Ah, it was that play. Again, I was listening so I didn't see it but the announcers talked about him yelling at the Lions D with his helmet off. -- nm - spamlet Dec 22, 12:26 2
  - Yeah, he ripped his helmet off and went right after the guy immediately. I think that's why nobody thought he had a concussion. - pmb Dec 22, 12:27 1

what an entire day's worth of calories looks like in one meal at your favorite chain restaurants -- (link) - znufrii Dec 22, 12:09 33
- I'm an unrepentant glutton but no way I could eat all of *any* of those offerings in a single sitting. - Mop Dec 22, 13:54

- not that people shouldn't pay attention, but there's a whole lot of silly there. -- nm - b. Dec 22, 12:14 29
  - Yeah, it's pretty silly. - Kim Pine Dec 22, 12:22
  - They are stretching to make (every time) one meal into the full calories (e.g. getting the shake with the burger and fries) - ty97 Dec 22, 12:18 27
    - Your IM says it. People do order those combos. I definitely have. -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 12:52 12
      - some of them, maybe; others I'd doubt are often, if at all, at least at the sizes shown. (and not everything made at home is healthy.) - b. Dec 22, 13:01 5
        
        The point of the article is to show just how easy it is to for a day's worth of calories in one meal. - Roger More Dec 22, 13:18 4
        
        I'm just giving suggestions on what would have made a better (imo) piece. - b. Dec 22, 13:33 2
        
        I don't see those as ETNT - more "even the places that have healthier options struggle to provide three meals with 2k of calories. - Roger More Dec 22, 13:48 1
        
        iirc, the best selling subway sandwich in the u.s. is their Italian BMT (salami, pepperoni, ham) - not one of their marketed healthier options. - b. Dec 22, 14:01
        
        the main point is really to set up the contrast with the home cooking option - znufrii Dec 22, 13:21
      - on the other hand who just orders a steak at Ruth's Chris Steak House no sides? -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Dec 22, 12:58 5
        
        why would you waste room on that when you could be eating more steak? -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 13:10 2

        Heh. I could see myself ordering exactly the example combination -- nm - JD Dec 22, 13:09
        
        yah, I thought of that, too; and that's what made me look up how big it is (see post above yours). - b. Dec 22, 13:03
    - For potbelly's they're basically getting the worst things possible (and then saying it's hard to avoid). They have the calories on the board and I - pmb Dec 22, 12:23 5
      - I could probably eat at any of the places they listed reasonably. - Kim Pine Dec 22, 12:26 4
        
        Cheesecake Factory I find difficult and i avoid it. Maggiano's and Olive Garden can be toughish, but doable. -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 12:40 1
        
        (the rest: easy peasy) -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 12:41
        
        they're not saying that you can't, if you're the type of person who puts minimal effort into making good choices. - znufrii Dec 22, 12:36 1
        
        This is why they don't want to have to post calories! -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 22, 12:38
    - However, that Maggiano's cake terrifies me. - ty97 Dec 22, 12:20 7
      - yah, but they said it's huge; so meant to share. the sonic shake looks like their biggest size, which I doubt is purchased often.. - b. Dec 22, 12:23 6
        
        Yeah, if you go to Sonic you have to ask for light ice because they are ridiculous with it. -- nm - spamlet Dec 22, 12:29 5
        
        I don't mind that. I've usually been when it's hot, and a drive is involved. they have terrific foam cups that keep drinks cold for a long time; - b. Dec 22, 12:34 4
        
        I actually like the food for what it is. The grilled cheese is by far my favorite. - spamlet Dec 22, 12:39 3
        
        oh, I've eaten something non-tot twice then, heh. I had a gc once, a chicken sandwich another time. -- nm - b. Dec 22, 12:41
        
        I like their grilled cheese best, too. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 22, 12:41 1
        
        Every once in a while I just crave a grilled cheese and small tots. - spamlet Dec 22, 12:50
