  - The first burger is free. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 08:41 2

- Your old friend should have hooked you up. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 08:32

STRONGBAD IS WRONG - The new TacoBell egg taco is one of the most important 'sandwiches' in the history of mankind. - crash davis Oct 17, 08:25 4
- I never quite saw what the problem with the Double Down was outside of the normal problems with eating fried chicken. -- nm - Reagen Oct 17, 08:28 1
  - The major problem with the Double Down was my local KFC didn't serve them. -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 08:40
- Well, you could have just left it at the first 3 words. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 08:26
- Taco Bell's entire R&D department is just one guy going "put those hands together" -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 17, 08:26

Headed to Austin Thursday through the weekend (F1 race!) any food/other suggestions while in town? -- nm - MDH Oct 17, 08:05 38
- Chipotle -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 17, 08:25 2
  - In Austin, for this purpose, you eat at Freebirds -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 08:32 1
    - (which is also a chain mind you) -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 08:32
- (where are you staying?) -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 08:07 6
  - Renaissance Downtown I believe. Mostly at the track Saturday/Sunday. Have dinner set Friday night. Nothing for lunches or Thursday. -- nm - MDH Oct 17, 08:09 5
    - Downtown has grown and changed so much since I've lived there, this is super outdated -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 17, 08:17 4
      - Thank you! -- nm - MDH Oct 17, 08:20 3
        
        So just looked at Tex-Mex in/around SoCo and South Austin on the interwebs and some things don't change - ty97 Oct 17, 08:31 2
        
        Mind you, there is Chuy's now in the DC burbs, so you can get it around you. Might be good to try some other local Tex-Mex in Austin. -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 08:49 1
        
        So I give you this - ty97 Oct 17, 08:51
- BREAKFAST TACOS -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 08:07 27
  - *puts a metaphorical gun to ty's head* TX Breakfast Taco or NYC Bodega Egg Sammich - choose one. -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 08:15 1
    - Pull the trigger -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 08:19
  - [deleted] 24
    - I see below where you mention size. Any other differences like ingredients? -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 08:14 9

        I keep wanting to find a place that will offer me chicharrons (I've seen it on a bunch of TV shows about Mexico) but alas I have not yet. - crash davis Oct 17, 08:23 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Most places I go to in Texas have non-egg versions on offer in addition to egg. - ty97 Oct 17, 08:21 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        LYC: This is one of the places we frequent in my brother's town -- (link) - ty97 Oct 17, 08:22
    - You didn't ask: That new Taco Bell fried egg taco shell is SO GROSS. I gag every time the commercial is on. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 08:10 11
      - I must try it. Must. -- nm - patryk Oct 17, 08:48 4
        
        I did want to try the Double Down at KFC but this? NO -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 08:52
        
        ::high five:: - Spawn Oct 17, 08:48 2
        
        Agreed - I want to try it as well -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 08:51
        
        "It can't be *that* bad... Right?" -- nm - patryk Oct 17, 08:50
      - I saw commercials for it (where was I that I had cable? Don't recall) and was revolted at the thought and the look -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 08:20

        I think the NSFW label wiped it clean. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 08:29
    - TBH, I just assumed breakfast tacos didn't even exist in Mexico. I was certain our version was a Tex-Mex creation -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 08:09 1

97: but then you'd have to fly United! - spamlet Oct 17, 07:59 1

It really is amazing that only 17 months ago, Leiceister City was winning the Premiership. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 07:55
oh, also, I had errand to run last night. Dad postponed will, estate, cremation, etc talk to tonight. - ty97 Oct 17, 07:55 1
- make sure they tell you where the gold is buried -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:56
Senate confirms Callista Gingrich as US Ambassador to Vatican City, 70-23 -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 07:54 13
- Is this some sort of calculated insult? -- nm* - Roger More Oct 17, 08:00
- I laughed a lot at the location. The 3rd wife to a man she had a 6yr adulterous relationship with, is our governmental envoy to the Vatican. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 07:59
- I'm sure I'll start an international incident here, but couldn't' we just have the Italian ambassador cover Vatican City too? -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 07:58 7
  - Ambassadorships to smaller countries are ceremonial posts so it really doesn't matter. - spamlet Oct 17, 08:01 5
    - Vatican would be an exception though - there would be a lot of sensitive diplomacy through that post. - Roger More Oct 17, 08:03 4
      - Ah, good point. -- nm - spamlet Oct 17, 08:07 3
        
        Plus, if you want to demonstrate to US Catholics that you understand their values and concerns, and therefore deserve their votes... -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 08:10 2
        
        Hardcore Catholics that care about such things won't move because of the abortion issue. - spamlet Oct 17, 08:12 1
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 08:20
  - seriously, and why not have the same Ambassador for France and Spain too? Save us some $$ -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:59
- Sarah Palin next Ambassador to Russia -- nm - budice Oct 17, 07:56 1
  - Well, she will have a short commute -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:57
- Those 70 were all just hoping Newt would go with her -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:55
I *really* thought it was Wednesday when I woke up today -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 07:54
Fall update for Xbox is out if it hasn't update you can update manually much cleaner home screen -- nm - eag Oct 17, 07:48
*sigh* Ladies and gentlemen, a candidate for GA Governor in 2018 -- (link) - Strongbad Oct 17, 07:45 8
- "I didn't have sexual relations with that bump stock." -- nm* - budice Oct 17, 07:55
- Compromise: you can have assault rifles, but they all have to have those gyroscope balls in them that are really hard to keep in one spot - Reagen Oct 17, 07:50 1
  - "Only blind people are allowed to own assault rifles" -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 08:06
- Meanwhile, the NRA supports outlawing bump stocks if it is done administratively, through the U.S. ATF -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 07:46 4
  - *prohibits the ATF from banning bump stocks* -- nm - Congress Oct 17, 07:48 3
    - Could they legally do that? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 07:51 2
      - I expect so. The ATF's mandate has been changed by legislation several times. (Of course, it would need both legislative and executive approval... - Roger More Oct 17, 07:56
      - Sure. Statute trumps regulation. -- nm - spamlet Oct 17, 07:56
I sort of imagine John Kelly giving himself the Mark Wahlberg mirror speech from Boogie Nights each morning. -- nm - Reagen Oct 17, 07:43 1
- Maybe Stuart Smalley. -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 07:48
Trump's nominee for Drug Czar,Tom Marino, who recently pushed a law making it harder for the DEA to fight the war on drugs, has withdrawn -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:43 2
- On one hand, the proverbial 'war on drugs' as we have fought it has been a total failure. On the other hand, 60 Minutes dig that nomination in. -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 07:44
- which was supposedly lies all lies. -- nm - Reagen Oct 17, 07:44
Opened 6 Iron Banner engrams last night, got ONE armor piece. A duplicate leg armor. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 07:42 41
- What level? I opened two yesterday and got the sidearm and a second armor. I played early on David's lie of 305 (they were not) and decided "enough". -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 07:53 35
  - You have to be 305 for it to work, genius. -- nm - David Oct 17, 08:25
  - oh, I opened them all on my Titan, who is 294, so I got 288 stuff. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 07:58
  - David was all kinds of wrong all day yesterday! -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 07:57 2
    - Yesterday? -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 07:59 1
      - well, true, but also more than usual yesterday! -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:00
  - He was dropping 300 engrams if your character was 305. - Shaun Oct 17, 07:55 29
    - I was at 302 and the two he dropped were 293. - Spawn Oct 17, 07:59 28
      - 293 is your base power level then, which all non-powerful/exotic engrams will drop at. -- (edited) - Shaun Oct 17, 08:00 7
        
        right, you do not factor in the purple mod bonuses. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:01 6
        
        Destiny 2 FYI -- David (aka David) Oct 16 '17, 17:01 Saladin is dropping 305 gear right now. - Spawn Oct 17, 08:03 5
        
        Figure out how the game works and get back to me. -- nm - David Oct 17, 08:26 3
        
        Your post made it sound like it was *news*, not the normal workings of the game. - Spawn Oct 17, 08:32 2
        
        It was only the second time last week that he had. - David Oct 17, 08:34 1
        
        So, the rest of the week he was dropping stuff below your true level? They need to fix that crap. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 08:36
        
        well, to be fair, if you slap a purple mod on it, it would be 298! -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:07
      - it is about enjoying the game, jeez. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:00 19
        
        Yeah, that was why I stopped. I would not have enjoyed continuing at that rate. I watched the 2nd and 3rd episodes of The Gifted, instead. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 08:01 18
        
        It was damn lonely in Destiny last night, ST is not representing well in IB -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:02 17
        
        Do you use a random number generator to decide which way you’re going next? - David Oct 17, 08:27 6
        
        yeah, because you need to have 4 people standing near one zone..... - groiny Oct 17, 08:30 5
        
        The game on the Raid map, I just started following you to watch because I was so confused by your “strategy”. - David Oct 17, 08:33 4
        
        like, you know the point of the game is to cap and KEEP zones capped, right? - groiny Oct 17, 08:39 2
        
        Hence my sword strategy. Number of kills are not important, just holding those zones. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 08:43 1
        
        we shall refer to David's control strategy henceforth as "Duck Duck Goose" -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:45
        
        Yes, run to the teammate while the whole other team capture our held zone. Sounds like a great plan. - groiny Oct 17, 08:35
        
        I have decided that I really do like using the sword in PvP. I was having fun with that yesterday. I wish I could flip the controls, though. Trigger - Spawn Oct 17, 08:04 9
        
        I used it on the Nightstalker Hunter with the invis roll equipped, it is a fun style of play, but frustrating at times. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:05 8
        
        I love Foetracer so much. That extra bit of damage makes a wonderful difference in 1v1 battles. -- (edited) - Shaun Oct 17, 08:16 2
        
        yeah, it is super useful for that, I just try to get one shot on people so I can track them, it is almost not fair -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:21 1
        
        It's a really really good exotic for pvp. -- nm - Shaun Oct 17, 08:43
        
        It works well in capture games. I duck at B and wait for the lambs to come to the slaughter. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 08:11 4
        
        so pretty much like your camp with shotgun playstyle. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:15 3
        
        But with hella-style points. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 08:22 2
        
        Quickfang? -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:25 1
        
        Think only Hunters can get it, so no. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 08:34
- I opened 4. 1 piece of armour and it was a dupe cloak. - Shaun Oct 17, 07:51 1
  - number 5 was probably your lucky one -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:55
- Number 7 was probably the lucky one - decline Oct 17, 07:43 2
  - it already was 1am, I could not possibly stay awake for another one! -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 07:45 1
    - I got kicked to the main title screen after I dropped and kept getting "cannot connect to Destiny servers" errors, so figured that was a sign to call - JaxSean Oct 17, 07:50
