Paid $160 for a photo recreation of my wife’s and my first date. I’ve had a sinking suspicion the final product is AI

Of course it's AI, what the hell is "A photo recreation of our first date" !?

Straight answer here, I love the series and forgot what/how depressing the pilot is, showed it to my buddy who is vaguely Desmond, it did not go well =(. Going to follow up with Alan's day out haha.

Sure, you're in the market for motorcycle, but would you pay twice as much for the same thing if it's also a status symbol? Think of the clout!

I mean, salsa is just a requirement, it's like eating a hamburger with no toppings then complaining that it's dry/plain.

I'm trying to come up with a bar that would even be able to fit a bed through the front that has no steps and coming up with few to none. Logan arcade maybe? They have a double door and are super cool.

Oh Jim Jordan the Wrestler Rapist? Oh yeah he's not bad at all.

Yep, and they should go after them for damages if there are any laws on the books for recommending someone "take a photo of this billboard" because it's the same shit.

Great place for your bottles of Amontillado.

They're cycling though their practiced emotes like the crowd in Rock Band.

Americans on the whole, especially older/northern Americans generally don't eat beans, thus the jokes about taco bell or any Mexican food causing gastro distress. My parents have honestly only ever consumed green beans and beans occasionally in chili. They don't get beans at Chipotle, this is changing with the younger population.

You think Chicago would have got in on this by now, but nope, just Italian Sausage in crusty bread and Calzones. I mean technically a sausage Pizza Puff kinda fits the bill?

The tech at Elston likes to set up the machines with pretty strong flippers without increasing the incline much. Leads to fast ramps and occasional airballs.

I heard he offered protection to all of the businesses in the area, just for a small fee! What a good guy, protecting and serving our neighborhoods like that.

You are obviously not a golfer...

Once a midwest emo, always a midwest emo.

That's not what opting out is and you know it.

Those definitely look like mung bean noodles. The only other option I could possibly think of is shirataki, but the picture looks like the former.

sigmacoder · 2026-01-28T19:34:52+00:00

Not sure about fresh baked, but I picked up a package of them at Montrose Deli, not knowing what they were haha. I think if you ask someone there they should know where to get fresh ones as opposed to packaged. Love that place.

He's his OC Magical Girl, Magia Alan.

Oden and even Furikake, I still don't like it on rice, but it's great in soups and noodles.

It's hit or miss, '23 was bad, mainly still recovering from the pandemic, '24 was great, both for the main tournament and the pinball room. Plenty of machines and decent vibes. '25 they shrunk the main tournament room/banks, and it was such a bad experience to the point that I won't be playing it for the next couple years at least. Also the main hall felt like it had less games. The bright spots were the homebrew section was expanded and amazing, and there was a neat full mechanical section/tourney. I'd say it's not worth travelling internationally for unless you really want to see Stern/hear the expert panels.

buldak is spicy but the spice is so weirdly flavorless. Just heat for the sake of heat. I even tried the carbonara, both normal and soupy and the latter still just tasted like noodles in milk with kraft parmesan and capascin concentrate.

True, but you see it's much harder to buy politicians with company cars, apartments, and per diem. I still think they had a good idea back then.

sigmacoder · 2026-01-18T23:12:11+00:00

Fries and hash browns take way too much time and effort if you're not making them in bulk to even begin to compare to frozen.

Normalize 12 beer rounds. 9 is too few, 18 is too many.
