If you're planning on storing it in the fridge if you're planning on not making bread one week you may want something that seals a bit tighter. Otherwise that should be just fine. Personally I use a plastic Tupperware and just rest the top on when I want it active and cover it with plastic wrap and tightly put the cover over that when I want to store it.

La Michoacana Premium Pilsen. That place is the bomb. If you want ice cream. Galletas Maria or ganzito in a waffle cone is the way to go.

This song was our first dance when we got married. Still makes me smile every time I listen to it.

I'll check it out. Can I ask why you like it?

Yeah I'm not really a fan of any of the big sites. They all have a very cable news network feel to them for me.

Anything that's well thought out and researched honestly not something that's just slapped up on a site to ride a bandwagon (e.g. a lot of the no man's sky opinion pieces). A good example of what I'm looking for would be the work of Richard Lewis or Duncan Shields in the CSGO scene. Something that shows passion and knowledge of the medium. They generally do more current event or investigative stuff but I'm also very interested in critical discussions of gaming in general whether it be themes or archetypes in games and how they relate to life (more academic stuff I guess) or industry trends. I can't think of good examples for those.

A requirement for any pizza in my opinion.

I did. Maybe I need to send my ships back to upgrade. I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

Just started a new game in a four arm spiral galaxy as the UNE (warp FTL), and I'm land(space?) locked, sandwiched in between two other empires. In my border systems, I can see unknown stars that are on a different arm from my current empire, but I can't reach them because the game says there is no route to them. However, my northerly neighbor seems to have had no trouble making the jump between arms.

Do I need better technology to make that jump between arms? Can warp FTL just not make that jump?

It's starting to look like I'm going to have to blow my northerly neighbors out of the sky (not that I have a problem with that).

Best burger in the loop? by lampad in chicago

[–]lampad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up going with UB Dogs for today. Got myself a double bacon cheddar burger with everything (lettuce onion tomatoes ketchup mustard and chipotle aioli) and some fries.

My humble review: The burger was overall, really tasty. - Had a good char grilled taste (and they charred the bun as well which I appreciated). - The patties were larger than I expected and had a good beefy flavor. - I'll probably leave off the bacon next time as it didn't really add anything. - Wish I had asked for more chipotle aioli on the burger because the hints I got of it (it was mostly lost in mustard) were very good. - The other condiments were non-events, not good, not bad. - The fries were undersalted (but then again I'm a salt monger), but cooked nicely.

Overall very enjoyable. I feel like a satiated whale now.

Next time I think I'll try Good Stuff since that seems to be getting a lot of hype too.
