    I'm completely lost as to why the "Submit Reply" button in this thread has suddenly started reverting to being a visual element :p

     

     

    What is it supposed to look like? It looks like an appropriate button to me.

    Bro. 

     

    Get some Dogfish Head Slightly Mighty. The Heineken alcohol free is also actually surprisingly good, try to get it in the cans instead of the bottles if possible. 


    Still need the alcohol. No decaf for me. What’s the calorie count for the Dogfish Head? Also, one of my favorite beer types is a citrus wheat, so that’s one of the reasons I’m drawn to the Blue Moon.

    So I can have one in my bedroom and one in my living room. It's the only way to live right @Emblazon

    Yup. We’ve got one in the bedroom (where I play primarily) and one in the main living room for when my wife goes to bed and I need to vacate the bedroom. :lol:

     

    The Series X is ridiculously quick to boot up and load content, so hopping from one console to another is a breeze. 
     

    I paid around $620 for each of my Series X consoles. 
     

    We have two PS5s, as well, but I was lucky enough to get @Triage’s at launch through Target, and then my digital PS5 through a friend who only wanted to sell the system at cost. And my PS5 is still in its box months later. SoT has been taking all my time.

    I think it simply speeds up what has been happening already, a move away from massive 100,000 sqft buildings that sit empty except on Friday and Saturday nights.

     

    Theaters will get smaller in overall size, with fewer screens, but more luxuries like in theater dining and recliner seats. The larger complexes will go the multipurpose entertainment facility route by adding bowling/laser tag/arcades/putt putt/go karts/etc. These companies just want you in the building every week, they don’t care for what particular activity.

     

    The short term will be difficult as consumers, exhibitors, and studios navigate this new landscape.

     

    But you are absolutely correct that people want to go out, and a movie that looks good is a great excuse to do so. Despite its availability on HBO Max, we did bananas business on WW84 at both of our drive ins as people still want to get out of the house.


    I think you mean “despite the fact that WW84 absolutely sucked, it still made money”. :)

  5. So, Nagy is horrendous at play calling. Similar to how Trubisky is horrible at accuracy past 5 yards. 6 game losing streak, hands play calling off to the OC, Bill Lazer. Bears proceed to win 3 straight, scoring over 30 each game. Albeit against shit teams. 
     

    What does Nagy do? Takes back play calling in the finale against GB and proceeds to absolutely shit the bed. 
     

    So, I’m here to watch the Bears completely tank on Sunday. And then give up everything for either Watson or Fields. 

  6. We recently ordered the Always Pan:

    Meet your new favorite essential kitchen pan. Thoughtfully designed to be the perfect size and shape to do the work of eight pieces of traditional cookware. Healthy ceramic non-stick...

     

    Unfortunately, it won’t ship until February. 

  7. I love and miss Jack in the Box. Their sourdough burgers are great. And they have, hands down, the best worst tacos you can buy. And now they have tiny tacos!

     

    I also really really miss In N Out. I love animal style on the fries, but not on the burger. 
     

    Burger King’s new fries are great—I can’t recall ever having them cooked poorly. Wendy’s new fries are horrible and an abomination to fries everywhere. What’s really odd is how far McDonald’s has fallen. Their quality control is just shit these days, and it’s rare that I get perfectly cooked fries, which are amazing when cooked fresh and salted right. It’s also odd, because every McDonald’s is independently owned and operated, and that drop in quality is something I experience across the board. I used to love McDonald’s (the Arch Deluxe), and hate Burger King, but the Impossible Whopper is really good, and about the only burgers I can stomach from McDonald’s anymore are their regular old double cheeseburgers and the QPD. 
     

    Five Guys is the epitome of bland. They’re easily my least favorite of all the chains. And their large fries is 1400+ calories. How is that even possible?

     

    But the worst burger? That goes to Hardee’s (Carl’s Jr.). Hardee’s is what would happen if Arby’s made burgers. 

  8. From Olive Garden to Maggiano’s to high end Italian in downtown SF, the only Italian I haven’t had is food that was actually made and eaten in Italy... so I can’t speak on that. 
     

    But for all the others—it’s all the same.

     

    Maybe it’s the “where” for Olive Garden more than the “what”. Like, I would never think to eat at an Olive Garden in Oklahoma. 

  9. Picard was AMAZING. Easily worth the $6 alone. Every season of Discovery has been fantastic, as well, and the production budget is of the charts for a TV show. Don’t forget the new Twilight Zone is there, too. I wouldn’t condone keeping the service all year round, but seriously, you can watch all that in a month for the price of one drink at Starbucks.

    Not an audiophile.  I can be satisfied with headphones that cost a fifth of the price.

    Congrats? The great thing is, there are options—you have the option to buy whatever headphones you want, and I have the same option. 
     

    Unrelated, as someone who thinks the 598s/650s are the most comfortable headphones ever created... FUCK the Sennheiser vice grips known as the 280s. How the same company can produce such drastically different headphones in the same product line is beyond me.
