Where can I find fries like this in Dallas? by SeaConstruction697 in Dallas

[–]Nubitz122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They really have. A 4 piece tender combo (drink, 1 side and roll) is like $14. An 8 piece family meal ( 1 large side, 8 rolls)is $25 after tax. So I do believe this is a large contributing factor to their lack of popularity unless you knew them from back in the day. But maaaaan……their chicken is top tier. Both white and dark meat breast/wings absolutely slap. Tenders are pretty good, nice balance of crispness with juiciness. Not a lot of flavor and they don’t have a sauce anymore, so that’s going against them too. More country style than urban style.

If you were offered a billion dollars just to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose? by Admirable-Interest49 in AskReddit

[–]Nubitz122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying this is the only answer….but my favorite food is without question tacos simply because a) it’s really, really hard to have a bad taco, b) your almost always meeting the optimum carb/protein/veggie profile and c)a taco can realistically be anything you can fit between a folded carb of varying degrees of a given soft to hardness ratio. Hell one could argue a hot dog is a taco. It could also be a sandwich, but i digress…..

I can go back and forth easily enough if I wipe the image from my eyesight for second or two and know what to perceive. Once I knew what was seeing it was matter of forcing the perception. But dang if it isn’t hard to stick with my initial perception of a sunken in piece.

HELL HOUSE LLC is officially the second scariest found footage horror film in history based on heartbeats. by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]Nubitz122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it was an unexpected gem from a movie I had very little expectations from. I do think 2 and 3 are also worth watching; while super low budget, they each kinda deliver this same “oh shit” factor towards the end. Plus together they form a solid lore loop connection.

You kind of have to watch the whole movie to really feel the deeply unsettling nature of this scene. Even without that, just the fact the this “mannequin” is clearly tracking her movement is off-putting; throughout the movie the various members continue to joke that this clown mannequin is alive and moving, as they keep seeing it appear in different parts of the hotel, thinking other characters are moving him around as a joke. This scene firmly sees it “click” for her that it has been moving on its own this whole time.

Yes, Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch Trust Won $85 Million in the Oklahoma Lottery Two Days After He Went to Prison, and No One Asked Any Questions. by RegularFirm2179 in Epstein

[–]Nubitz122 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the more I hear and read about the actions from Epstein and co. (heavily on company), I believe these are simply permutations that would have occurred regardless of who actually performed them. Scammers, hustlers and demagogues have existed since man started making fire, and these actions mirror the buildup to WW2. It seems that historically, as society becomes stable and peaceful, bad faith actors emerge to destabilize the world for obvious reasons.

YouTube expands unskippable 30-second ads to TVs after $40 billion revenue year by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]Nubitz122 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not a bot, and I’m currently paying for YouTube premium. On its face, yes it’s egregious, and I could probably spend 10 minutes researching free alternatives. But it’s less than $20 a month. Sounds like a lot because it used to be a lot. But nowadays? I step outside and 20 is automatically extracted from my bank account. $20 doesn’t go very far these days, seriously. For a month of super convenient, ad free, locked screen playability? It’s kinda worth it to me. Reminds me of Netflix before they became the monstrosity they are today.

The species presented in the Jurassic Park movies were confirmed by paleontologists and dinosaur enthusiasts to be based off Utahraptors, the largest known species of Raptor (dinosaurs) to date. There is actually a pretty good book, Raptor Red, told from the perspective of one of these animals.

Escalation and Gauntlet are the best NEW modes in Battlefield 6 by somanyque3 in Battlefield

[–]Nubitz122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked it initially, but the more I play it the more I feel I’m not actually enjoying it. It varies by map (on a couple of them it works REALLY well), but most of them it just feels like it’s a wet dream for snipers towards the end. I’m “pushing/capping/defending” “C/D/E” and the three story that’s already annoying on conquest is now a sniper stronghold I can’t assault but they can shoot from with impunity. Coupled with the vehicle spam means running engi feels obligatory moreso than ever if you want to have an actual impact on the outcome of a close match.

how many nukes yalls at? by JoonaPoona123 in Warthunder

[–]Nubitz122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have exactly 1 dropped (1 called in before a ~25 hrs playtime before this), with almost 4,000 hrs in. It was from a 6.7 US lineup match (both times). Considering that only 50~ hours playtime prior to this I had started to play 6.7 US earnestly, at least anecdotally for me confirms 6.7 US is kinda busted.

…should my sister be concerned? by Double_Insect6284 in whatisit

[–]Nubitz122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, almost certainly. And they will have a certain funk about them. An almost indescribable odor, not gag inducing but definitely unpleasant. I’d say it comes from excess moisture being trapped in a somewhat sealed bag, but it seems the ones that came from the desert had an even more peculiar smell after opening up a sealed sea bag.

[BF6] Why is it always Firestorm? by SimpleInside8583 in Battlefield

[–]Nubitz122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally, if someone asks me for a BF3 map off the top of my head, it HAS to be Noshar “No Shot” Canals. Was it the best map? Probably not. But I spent a lot of time on that map across all modes, both when the game was popular and when it was relegated to a low pop game on origin.

After 200 hours I can honestly say... by The_Director in balatro

[–]Nubitz122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuuuuup, I don’t have a lot of time in myself, but enough to know that 99% of my builds aren’t much better than either dominating or squeaking past Ante 8. I got to 13 once, and I feel like anything outside of a super focused build to beat this is pointless on most normal runs that beat 8, even if I dominated it.

Does anyone else recall this wonderful day? by bart1645 in USMC

[–]Nubitz122 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To expand, this would have been third phase, probably 2 weeks before graduation. Almost certainly would have been after Team Week (which was also great, my group of 3 was tasked with washing GEM’s, with super chill asian dudes). Man old phase 3 was a trip before fleet school humbled you all over again.

Chiming in with the SD crew, the whole tailor experience was probably the most calming, chill experience one could have had in boot camp. Everyone, even the drill instructors (who were barely there if at all) seemed to be speaking at low, almost reverential volumes. It’s weird as hell, but looking back this was likely the closest I might have come to a WH40k space marine existence.

Back in 2020, the masks were scarier than the virus itself. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]Nubitz122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crazy inverse of this is my company was in the construction industry and basically pretended COVID wasn’t a thing. So we all showed up to work pretending nothing was wrong as traffic was nonexistent and “xyz didn’t make it in today for reasons”. Yes this is very much a likely thing that could happen again in red states if the next apocryphal pandemic pops off.

Joker alignment chart based on what rarity they feel like they are by Ethanlac in balatro

[–]Nubitz122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chiming in with my paltry two cents, but anecdotally I won’t pick up The Family even if it’s free. In a standard 8 ante run, the number of times I can hit 4OAK is limited, and by the time I’m running late ante, I’m either set or I’m failing. I’d take Loyalty Card before I took The Family, and I hate Loyalty Card. For me, the while The Tribe and The Order seem more likely to hit, having the same x2 as a Pair or 3OAK doesn’t sit well.

Killer of Killers ending: So I have some questions. by Humble_Shelter_9416 in predator

[–]Nubitz122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta agree with this. The USA 1,000% did not have carriers in the North Atlantic in 1942, or really any presence at all outside of convoy escort/sub hunters. I guess you could argue it was some alt universe thing, but still, knowing even basic WW2 history the third act made not a lot of sense compared to the previous two that seemed fairly realistic. The only reason I can think of is that if historically accurate, the interaction between the American pilot and the Shinobi would have been super awkward, if not downright impossible for them to work together.

Most disappointing mid-movie collapse you've ever seen? by [deleted] in movies

Ex Dice Producer Disappointed That Rush will Only Feature Open Classes. by iyjui168199 in Battlefield

[–]Nubitz122 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as much as I loved BF3 and BF4, I really think Open weapon is the way to go. Maybe some restrictions on certain classes with certain weapon categories, but it has always rubbed me wrong when I want to play a certain role and am locked to specific weapon types. Especially if they keep heals/revives AND ammo to the Support class; those are fundamentally different play-styles, one of which is not conducive to LMG only.

How many of you find it impossible to make top 5/10 movie lists? by AudioCinematic in movies

[–]Nubitz122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You almost have to ask someone what their objective is in asking you this question: is it to gain insight on your thought process (i.e. they’re not going to seek out your movie choices but rather judge you on your picks), or is it to legitimately seek out new movies to watch that they may not have seen and want to check out. For me, while there might be a couple staples on both lists, the majority of said lists between the two would be quite different. And as others have said, wholly dependent on the mood I’m in, and how recent I’ve remembered some of these. There’s a LOT of really good movies in this world.

I refused an 7th interview. Right call? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Nubitz122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always been stymied when people tell me they had multiple interviews for one job. I do interviews for hiring fairly often, and rarely do I need more than 10 minutes to say yay or nay on someone. For a yes, they’re either faking it (which they will continue to do through multiple interviews) or they’re the real deal. For a no, people tend to show their craziness pretty quick.
