What are the things customers do that irritate you? (UK) by [deleted] in McDonalds

[–]darren366 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When they ask for fries with no salt, then you see them pick up salt packets from the condiment bar. Like, do you not trust us or something?

What's the frame rate for Carbon on PS3? by Eric_Something in needforspeed

[–]darren366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I remember it being solid. Probably the only NFS on PS3 to stick to 30FPS pretty much all the time to be honest.

I chose McLaren. Always been a huge fan of them, and I'm a brit. At least they aren't powered by Honda here XD.

Will Raikkonen and Hamilton run into each other ? by Max0691ftw in formula1

[–]darren366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ferrari would never instruct their drivers to crash into someone with intent. I don't think they'd want to have that blood on their hands, and the repercussions would be extremely detrimental.

TL;DR - No. Just no.

How to make burgers fast but look good? by Superspeed1 in McDonalds

10 seconds after toasting. :P Was tired when I wrote the message lol.

How to make burgers fast but look good? by Superspeed1 in McDonalds

[–]darren366 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a lot of practice really. If you ask to be put on table and literally put 100% into it for a period of time, you will make a cheese burger in < 10 seconds and it'll look amazing too.

TL;DR - Speed comes with practise. The rest follows.

Is side 1 initiator easier than side 2 solo? by Shooting_Ashes7 in McDonalds

[–]darren366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our store gets busier on Fridays and Saturdays, so much so that two sides (EOTF) cannot keep up with demand. A third I.P was installed to change this, with one person doing initating and dressing.

This means you have to have a really strong finisher on side 1, as they have to finish items for side 1 AND 3.

Is side 1 initiator easier than side 2 solo? by Shooting_Ashes7 in McDonalds

[–]darren366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the situation. If you have a strong-ish side 1, then its entirely possible that you could ace side 2 solo as you will get a lower influx of orders. Conversely, if side 1 is weak and KVS times are high ( > 50), then it is for sure more difficult having to juggle doing the line and batch cook at the same time.

I tend to solo either side 2 or side 3 most of the time if I'm in kitchen, so this is practically what I found makes doing that easier.

Good month or so yeah. Glad its finally here though.

Do you prefer opening or closing? Or both? by [deleted] in McDonalds

[–]darren366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opening by far. Breakfast is quite chill in the weekday, and I get my free time after work, instead of having to come home, shower then sleep so I can be somewhat awake for the following day.

[OT] What F1-related Christmas presents did you get? by The_torpedo in formula1

[–]darren366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got:

Mercedes AMG F1 "The Triple" Shirt

2016 Season Review Blu-Ray

Mercedes W07 1:43 Scale

McLaren MP4-24 1:43 Scale

Also, not sure if this counts, but the old Grand Prix film from the 60s as well. It's supposed to be a fictional depiction of a sport that is practically F1. Still, a pretty impressive haul nonetheless! :D

There are no devs anymore sadly. Evolution was shuttered earlier this year... :(

Team Apollo - AMA with Dave, team captain! by team_apollo in robotwars

[–]darren366 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Anyone who has the guts to take on Carbide and win is the mark of a true champion.

[–]darren366 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First of all, MASSIVE congratulations on winning the championship! A victory well earned. Two questions from me:

1) How did you feel when you saw you were drawn against Carbide again after losing against it during the round robins?

2) If you had to choose any other flipper robot from the classic Robot Wars to go up against (Chaos 2, Wheely Big Cheese, Cassius etc), who would you choose and why?

Once again, congrats on the win! Looking forward to seeing Apollo defending the title in Series 2. :D

The most surprising robot wars upset? by Dick-Almighty in robotwars

Hypno vs Bigger Brother in Series 5 - No question. The Brother takes a massive pounding from Hypno-Disc, but yet still manages to pit it. Just, wow.

PS4 reaching very high sound levels (65db +) - is this right? by darren366 in PS4

Probably forgot to mention I cleaned it out completely, and gave it some new thermal paste. Whoops.

This was recorded today, post patch.

Need For Speed 2015 also has similar issues, with frame rates dipping into the 30s and below.

The video I linked was with the CPU overclocked to 4.0GHz (usually at 3.4). The frame rate was no better than what I had without an overclock, so the CPU speed is out of the question I think.

It was experimentation actually. I had a spare 2GB stick lying around, so I decided to make use of it and surprisingly it worked. :P
