I wanna buy a good racing game. I'm thinking either Grid or Dirt. Which one is better? - FabioParme Jan 6, 13:42 4
- if you are ruling out Dirt 2 which is newer, it's a style choice I think - stewie Jan 6, 13:48
- I haven't played them but I like Forza for the 360 and Gran Turismo for the PS3 is possibly the best racing game. -- nm - Krusty Jan 6, 13:45 2

- when I was on one of those concentration camp diets following some heart issues I found the best meals for me was in the park with Food Not Bombs - zeitgeist Jan 6, 13:42
- the commercials are misleading, but their only claim is that the person lost weight while eating Taco Bell 5-8 times a week -- nm - stewie Jan 6, 13:39 3
  - doesn't the ad have the person saying something like she chose fresco items and made other sensible choices? - b. Jan 6, 13:44 2
    - yeah... I think the Jared/Subway thing was a similar fine print situation -- nm - stewie Jan 6, 13:49
    - also, they have a rep for having a LOT of unhealthy choices as well. - groiny Jan 6, 13:45
- I'd be more interested in a documentary where you actually did try to only eat Taco Bell and picked items that may really help you lose weight. - Qale Jan 6, 13:35 3
  - that's crazy talk, i don't eat there, but I doubt they have stuff like fruits and vegetables, and isn't most of their food really high in fat? -- nm - ceregon Jan 6, 13:40 2
    - they mave more healthy-ish options than any of the burger places. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 13:41 1

        what is your daily intake now??? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 13:42 13
        
        seriously, good lord. we need to hire some anorexics to come teach some of you about healthy eating. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 13:43 6
        
        It's a medically supervised diet, actually quite safe. - Subversive Jan 6, 13:45 5
        
        sure, you had to out crazy my diet! - groiny Jan 6, 13:46 1
        
        Thanks. :) -- nm - Subversive Jan 6, 13:48
        
        That's awesome. Un-supervised I would think that's a dangerous caloric target. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 13:46 1
        
        Yeah, it's important to manage it carefully. I take some supplements as well, as I mentioned below. -- nm - Subversive Jan 6, 13:47
        
        i'm sure you know what you're doing. i just... yeesh. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 13:45

        How. The. Hell? (nM) - musubi Jan 6, 13:44 1
        
        Once you get into ketosis, there's actually very little hunger. - Subversive Jan 6, 13:46
        
        well, I allow myself an extra 200, but I try to say near 1,000 if possible. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 13:44
      - No... cheese!?! - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:30 3

        we all know your eating habits.... - groiny Jan 6, 13:31
    - it's not what you eat there, it's what it does to the rest of the food in your system... -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 13:28 11
      - speaking of someone who does not know what the hell he is talking about..... - groiny Jan 6, 13:30 10
        
        oh, come on. like you've never made a food poisoning/diarrhea joke about Taco Bell before... - znufrii Jan 6, 13:34 6
        
        sure, and you manged to do it twice in the same thread. - groiny Jan 6, 13:38 1
        
        and you decided to get a stick up your ass about it...why? -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 13:47
        
        psst. - b. Jan 6, 13:36
        
        [deleted] 2

        burrito, burayto. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 13:30 5
        
        their fiesta items have some extra (caloric) sauce, iirc. no misleading, reagen! -- nm - b. Jan 6, 13:33 4
        
        the only time I go into a Taco Bell is if it's one of those KFC combo restaurants. - Reagen Jan 6, 13:35 3
        
        It wasn't allowed to open in Quebec for many years because the quality of meat they used was too low -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 13:38 2
        
        which considering they have La Belle Province, is saying something. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 13:39 1
        
        worst. chain. ever. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 13:40

  - my brother is a *consumer*. - Andie Jan 6, 13:25 6
    - There is no doubt in my mind there are things I should absolutely get rid of. I just haven't. For example: My old computer's monitor. - Qale Jan 6, 13:28 5
      - oh, yeah, you need to ditch that stuff, - Andie Jan 6, 13:29 4
        
        Yes, I agree. I also want to avoid the other side of things though too. The, OHMYGOD You put something where it doesn't belong I KILL YOU! -- nm - Qale Jan 6, 13:32 3
        
        Avoiding killing people is always a plus. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:32 2
        
        I haven't killed anyone this year. But it is only Jan 6th. -- nm - Qale Jan 6, 13:38
        
        This doesn't sound like Spawn. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 13:33
- I don't like to get rid of stuff, but when I decide to, I do. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:19 21
  - that's a lot of shirts. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 13:20 17

      - i don't think i own 53 of any one item of clothing. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 13:21 15
        
        I *easily* have 100+ shirts. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 13:33 2
        
        I can't get rid of enough T-shirts. I've tried. Dumped a ton of em. Twice. I still own way too many. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 13:34 1

        Heh. Amy knows her number at all times. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:24

        Do you not include jackets in the above number? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:26 3
        
        My number is probably higher than 53, but not by much. - Beryllium Jan 6, 13:29 2
        
        You really should invest in some underwear. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:31 1

        I think the key is to not eat normally and then stop when you hit the #. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:23 2
        
        I'd have to stop roughly two bite into lunch to keep to 1200. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 13:30
        
        last 2 days my dinner has been a bowl of life cereal. - groiny Jan 6, 13:27
