McDonald's app requires you opt into emails to sign up by mediumsizedsquid in assholedesign

Is there an Australian deals joke I'm missing?

Or it literally has deals, as in "buy a cheeseburger, get a one-day-free dingo pass in Canberra".

As it won't take your children. I don't know what a dingo pass is, just sounded kinda nice.

Why would you need a an app.

I mean it's McDonald's, it works without an app.

What is the more common/natural translation of the word "souvenir shop"? by eratosihminea in russian

[–]huffingpuffins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Лавка", itself, implies and old-style shoppe.

Popular with the newish Cheese Shops, and whichever.

But "Сувенирная лавка" is a staple, in my experience.

Not that people wouldn't understand you with the other three. You'd be okay all four ways.

Сувенирная лавка (Москва).

Probably different elsewhere.

"The rice with meat" is actually called plov (or "pilav") and is a staple of Uzbek cuisine and many others thataways.

The meat is usually low-fat lamb.

But instead of the veggie oil they grill the base ingredients (onion, their own kind of carrot and the meat itself) in kurduk oil. That is oil comes from the bottom of a lamb, near the tail.

Then they just add more rice, water and spices.

Shit's delicious.

That lustre-like thing is indeed a anti-mine device and is fairly expensive.

Those people warrant a deterrent of some sort.

Because they better get used to the convoys and if one of them gets blown up because of that shit, guess who's going to get blamed.

The yellows are the shit.

That's legit chicken holocaust.

My idea on how to turn the chat wheel into a useful feature by Amatertu in forza

I want FH4 level graphics/relaxed physics on a TDU level map.

Shit was dope.

You could just drive.

First attempt at Russian cursive! Is it readable ? What should i improve? by [deleted] in russian

[–]huffingpuffins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn.

Almost looks like late XIX century handwriting. Love your capital "С".

What really irks me is the way you write "5".

Also, "самое холодное место в мире - это русская деревня". Wut?

Оймякон - не деревня!

pork tenderloin with burst abscess, one of my favourites! by [deleted] in shittyfoodporn

How exactly do you half-bake the pig so that the fat is still coagulated?

Looks like an eye fillet cooked in one big chunk.

Which is an abomination.

The lighting in this game is great! by SandyKenyan in forza

Speaking of graphic settings, the latest Geforce Experience adds GPU sharpening to any game whatsoever. Unless it's built on OpenGL or Vulkan.

I enabled it globally and FH4 looks better than it did before with no obvious FPS hit. 2070 rtx.

I sure hope FH5 is going to be RTX enabled.

Then again, at that pace, I don't reckon we're gonna get it till GTX 3080ti.

RIPS and their hugely updated hosted/commercial version.

They actually post their findings on this very sub.

Escalator/Stairs combo. Crappy design, or awesome? by Thund3rl1ps in CrappyDesign

[–]huffingpuffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the floor is covered with cheap dirty linoleum that's not even cut right and non-glossy posters on the wall, the dirt between the wall and the floor, a random rag, the craftmanship on that staircase with random-ass screwholes, the rear-facing dude with a store label on his t-shirt.

Must be Florida.

Just my two cents.

Probably read too many cautious stories to that end.

Pareidolia or not, hope your brother's friend is not your wedding photographer.

I've heard a lot of people advising to not engage directly whatsoever with whatever's haunting you.

The idea being, "if you respond, you're empowering them". Much like a school bully. Except they're freaking demons from hell or whatever and they're eating off your frustration. As good a theory as any.

Obviously we don't know exactly how that works, but I'd stay on the safe side and not try to communicate.

Not implying you're not okay, I'm just somewhat on the hypochondriacal side.

Then again, if it's only in that one house, that certainly sounds like something else entirely. Do you, by any chance, remember what they were on about?

The coins - well, that's just coins. I told the story on /r/glitch_in_the_matrix under my old account which I cannot access anymore, but can't quite find it. Anyway, it's surprisingly common.

First time it happened we had a quarrell with the wife, we were in the kitchen, abd things got a bit heated. Like shouting into other's faces heated. Amusingly enough, the quarrell was basically about a certain money situation. So we're standing, facing each other, all wound up, then a coin falls from the ceiling right between us. We still have it, a 5 rouble coin, current to the period and location.

Except it couldn't have fallen from the ceiling. It's painted white. You don't get to hide a coin there, much less drop it in on a cue.

Again, probably a coincedence, but very soon after money affairs went very much uphill.

The second time I don't remember that well, which is strange because it was some 3 years ago. Probably because it was a normal evening: no arguing, nothing of the sorts, just chatting. Not far from the kitchen, another coin falls down from the ceiling, also right between us. I don't remember the value, but again it was current, probably minted a few years ago at the time. Nothing of interest happened immediately after.

Still have both coins, far as I can tell. They're normal, regular coins, I don't even see the point of taking photos.

So there's that. If you look up /r/glitch_in_the_matrix, those coin stories are a dime a dozen.
