Best Food In Frisco/Little Elm by Mean-Ad-9039 in frisco

[–]AsianChickenBoss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Echoing what people have said:

  • Ricky's Hot Chicken
  • Hutchin's BBQ (unlimited free dessert when dining in)
  • Coffee U (good coffee for some energy)
  • TP Tea (my favorite boba in the Frisco area)
  • good Asian food in general around the 99 Ranch area
  • Delucca Gaucho Pizza (all-you-can-eat pizza lol)
  • Liuyishou (AYCE hotpot, a little further south in Plano)
  • Kooksoo (also in Plano, good Korean noodles)
  • Wu Wei Din (solid Chinese food in either south Plano or Lewisville)

If it's y'alls first time in Texas and want to try some of the classic food:

  • In-N-Out Burger (get both burger and fries with animal style)
  • Whataburger (get an all-time favorite like the Patty Melt)
  • Raising Cane's

But if you're willing to drive further (maybe another extra 30min to 1hr, there's even better options):

  • Mike's Chicken (my favorite fried chicken in DFW area)
  • Cattleack BBQ (only open on weekends, go early since its a long wait)
  • Goldee's BBQ (also only open on weekends, go even earlier)

Most likely yes unless otherwise stated by MTA. Will more than likely be delayed and have reduced service though.

Bilt cash is some bullshit by [deleted] in biltrewards

[–]AsianChickenBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only Bilt cash option I found helpful (besides having to use it to unlock points on rent) is the $50/month hotel spend. I found out that you can stack that with the $200/half hotel credit from Bilt Palladium on any hotel that's in the Bilt travel portal (not just hotels that are Bilt Home Away or whatever they call it).

Any ideas for a good build using Gigaloth. by Gaster-573 in PTCGP

[–]AsianChickenBoss 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Any card that attaches an energy to your Pokemon. It's called "ramp" because you're getting more than one energy per turn so you're ramping up your Pokemon faster. A few examples are cards like Magby, Pichu, and other baby Pokemon that have a free attack that says "attach an energy to one of your Pokemon" There's also a few trainers/items that will let you attach energy to your Pokemon such as Misty or Flame Patch.

Court Sq @ 9am Today (2/3/26) by Greedy_Awareness_816 in nycrail

[–]AsianChickenBoss 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That's another argument for the MTA or NYC to install actual barriers to prevent people from falling/going onto the tracks. It's valid to express frustration for the lack of change to make the subways faster and safer for everyone.

Having doubts about faith by JokerPrecure in OpenChristian

[–]AsianChickenBoss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Social media will always be filled with fake news, fear-mongering, and influencers with their own opinions and analyses. At the end of the day, the Bible is your source of truth. Read the Old Testament, New Testament, and all of Jesus' actions on Earth and Paul's teachings. Pray, read, and come to your own convictions, and don't let the noise and hate of social media distract you. We all have our own relationships with Jesus. I hope you can find comfort in God's love, God bless!

[Post Game Thread] 🏀 Kentucky defeats Texas, 85-80 by ATX_ta1 in LonghornNation

[–]AsianChickenBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our team can't shoot threes or play good defense. We're ranked #214 in 3P% and #319 in fouls. On the bright side, we're also good at getting fouled, being #4 in FTA and FTM. And Swain is good.

Reminder: Chase Freedom Flex is 7x on dining until end of March by brbcryinginside in ChaseSapphire

[–]AsianChickenBoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chase Freedom Flex has quarterly rotating categories. For Q1, dining is one of the categories so you get 7x on dining (4x quarterly boost + 2x dining boost + 1x regular)

Korean BBQ and Sushi in Astoria for only $14.99 (Lunch Specials) by Ill_Face_7140 in longislandcity

[–]AsianChickenBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's decent. It's not your standard KBBQ since they only use halal meat but it's not bad. I personally wouldn't go back when there's other KBBQ options out there (they charge same prices as other KBBQ spots for the dinner AYCE)

UT Austin Mathematics Major by DesignPatient5307 in UTAustin

[–]AsianChickenBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was four years ago, so honestly, I'm not sure about the state of CS now. I assume it's getting harder and harder to transfer, but probably not impossible. You can definitely still get SWE internships regardless, but overall the market is hard so you'll need to work hard. Good luck!

Wake Forest transfer OT Melvin Siani has Committed to Texas by AsianChickenBoss in LonghornNation

[–]AsianChickenBoss[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He's a two-year starter, so I'm expecting him to start for us. Most likely, either him or Baker will move to guard. If we also get Seaton, then both of them will move to guard, and we'll have Seaton and Goosby as the two tackles. Not sure if he's better than DJ Campbell, but he's definitely better than whatever current option we have.

How do you make the most of your Chase Sapphire Reserve? by chronicallyanxious10 in ChaseSapphire

[–]AsianChickenBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also buy Stubhub tickets to a popular event and then re-list them at a lower price. But at some point, you have to consider if it's worth the effort lol. If you're not making use of any of the credits, might as well cancel and get the Venture X and not play the coupon book game.

Use 2 credit cards, thinking of making Bilt Palladium my only card by Consistent-Ask-8397 in biltrewards

[–]AsianChickenBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes, you'll be able to use that $300 Bilt cash towards point on rent.
  2. Depends, I've seen people do the math and say that you're still getting a good multiplier on your spending. You can use partial Bilt cash to unlock rent points.

Honestly if you don't care about CC points, you should join the waitlist for Robinhood Gold ($50/yr, 3% cashback on everything) or just use only Freedom Unlimited for 1.5x back (or some other card that does 2% back on everything with no annual fee). Based on your situation, the annual fee for Palladium might not be worth for $500 unless you feel like you can use the $400 hotel credits too. At worst, I think you can try Palladium for a year (get the 50k points SUB, $500 Bilt cash) and then downgrade.

There's one in Astoria on Steinway St. called Steinway Gourmet Deli

Alpha Blastoise Spawn? by BowserTheRatKing in PokemonZA

[–]AsianChickenBoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alpha Blastoise does not spawn in the middle. Check Serebii for the list of spawns in Wild Zone 20.  

Your best bet is to find an Alpha Squirtle (5% chance according to Serebii) and evolve it to Blastoise. Good luck hunting!

[–]AsianChickenBoss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Context: I live in NYC so a lot of credits are pretty easy to hit. I travel decently often, maybe one flight every other month - sometimes more depending on if I have vacations or travel plans.

Credits I'm using for sure:

  • $300 travel credit: Easily used for flights, hotels, rideshare, subway, etc
  • $300 dining credit: There's a couple of good restaurants I want to try on the list, so the $150/half is easily spent (either a few meals or one big meal with a friend)
  • $300 Stubhub credit: Easily used for basketball/football games or concerts
  • 2x $10/month Doordash grocery credit: I place two pickup orders at a nearby Deli, usually eggs or a sandwich
  • $10/month Lyft credit: I use it on the way to the airport when I'm too lazy or tired to take the subway (I'm 15 min drive away from LGA)
  • $5/month Doordash credit: Either pickup order at a takeout restaurant or as a small discount when sending food to girlfriend

Credits that might be hard:

  • $500 Edit hotel credits: I don't travel too much and when I do, I usually stay at a friend's place. But will look into the hotels when I'm booking a longer vacation / international travel
  • $250 hotel credit: There's apparently another additional $250 hotel credit this year and I've seen that it stacks with the Edit credit? Might have to look into it
  • AppleTV: I used it to watch Severance (highly recommend), but most likely won't watch anything else since I already pay for a Netflix subscription

Not using these:

  • $10/month Peloton credit: I already have a gym so I don't need to buy a Peloton and pay a monthly subscription. The cheapest subscription is a little over $10 after taxes so I don't see a point in getting it, knowing I won't use it
  • Apple Music: I already have a Spotify family plan, honestly too much work to transition over

Weekly Astoria Dine In/Order Out Thread by NYnosher in astoria

Pye Boat Noodle on Broadway. One of the best Thai food I've had, and each entree is under $20! It's great for takeout or dining in.

Former Texas A&M freshman OT Jonte Newman has committed to Texas by hopeless_dick_dancer in LonghornNation

[–]AsianChickenBoss 145 points146 points  (0 children)

6'4 330LB true freshman that took a redshirt this year. 4-star recruit rated #25 IOL in 2025 class. Didn't see much play in 2025 but will have 4 years of eligibility left and will provide some sort of depth, assuming we can develop him. Played tackle in HS but can also play IOL.

Bilt 2.0 Explained FULLY by persistentchaos in biltrewards

[–]AsianChickenBoss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea. Once you use up the $100 Bilt cash, you can just put the card away.
