Got some cheap motorola thing, i don't see the point of spending more than 150/200€ on a phone, when at that price point they already have every single feature.
Especially since i basically use it to call/browse and a couple of other basic things.

I don't even know wtf something that costs 1k can offer on top of that.

My ideal would be something with like a 4.5 or 5" screen, all these mf with 7" are ridiculous.
I don't want to watch Lawrence Of Arabia in surround sound on it, ffs.

What about Spartacus on a 5.8 inch screen. It's about 150/200€ too!

I see it starting at around 355?

One advantage of big phones, i guess, is that they have big ass batteries.
My old Samsun (that granted, was years old) had to be charged constantly.

Why do smartphones need to be this fucking big? My old phone died after years of service and i had to get a new one, and every single option was massive fucking flat screen TV disguised as a phone.
I don't want to have a massive piece of shit in my pocket at all time.

A perfect example of what I like to call backwards progress. Mobile phones started as huge, there was simply no option because of tech limitations, became smaller which was good, and now they're massive again. For no fucking reason.

I'm assuming it's because a lot of people straight up watch Netflix and such on them, but i thought tablets were invented for that reason? I guess tablets aren't really a popular thing anymore, though.
Still, get a laptop and let me have something i can put in my pocket without feeling like i'm carrying around the Ark of the Covenant.

People who buy the 'larger screen' phone models like the S20+ and Ultra are addicted to porn.
My S10 is just about the maximum size I want a phone to be.

Short answer: weight applied by humans and animals to the surface of the arch forces the arch to expand outward at either end, but since the two ends are pressed against solid surfaces it actually causes the bridge to be more stable overall.

But what about the ones that are right at the top center that are basically vertical? I don't get why they don't just drop down and then the whole thing collapses.

Just because you build a bridge, doesn't mean you understand how they work.

Enjoyed that Fury vs Wilder fight. Wish Wilder wasn't such a sore loser, since it's one of the best performances he has put on. Clipped Fury good in that fourth round cause Fury got complacent. Actually boxed in the first few rounds instead of just windmilling for that knockout blow.

Good fight, just wish they'd share the ring together at the end.

In the U.S. a meal is about twice as much as a McDonalds combo but they’re known for their huge portions. A single normal order of fries could be split with 2 or 3 people and a burger could be split with another person if cut in half.

As a former fat fuck I cut out 99% of fast food around six years ago but I thought Five Guys was great aside from the cost and being incredibly unhealthy.

The other gimmick is they have stacks of burlap sacks filled with uncracked peanuts that you can eat while you wait for your order.

Don Rumata · « **Reply #35209 on:** October 10, 2021, 06:58:01 PM »

I'm gonna try it once, if i pass from there one of these days.

The three popular ones i know of are that, shake shack and in'n'out (which is unlikely to open anywhere in Europe anyway).

We don't have Shake Shack here in Italy, but there's a "good enough copy" (at least i'm told so, from people who had it in London) called "Burgez" that i tried, and that was pretty good i thought.
So i'm curious about Five Guys now, since it was one of the other burger joints i saw mentioned a lot.

Quaker · « **Reply #35210 on:** October 10, 2021, 07:18:23 PM »

I love In n Out. They're everywhere in California but they opened up some locations in Texas a few years back. Simple menu and good, unpretentious burgers at a reasonable price. The downside is their fries are kind of awful(which is weird because they're made with fresh potatoes right in front of you), but their burgers are so good that it's easy to overlook that.

Keep in mind that the reason they're hyped is because of their "no bullshit" approach and because they don't try and price gouge you on everything. (Basically the exact opposite of Shake Shack) So don't expect it to be the best burger you've ever tasted, but more like "what if McDonalds was good?"

chronovore · « **Reply #35211 on:** October 10, 2021, 10:31:28 PM »

In-N-Out is my Mecca.

The fries are better if you order them "well done" or "extra well done." But it is WEIRD how the normal fries are crap, despite being the real deal.
