Generally, the staff and vibes are cool. I met some great people working there. They like to put up that front that they're trying to be cool and edgy. I was a cook for a long time at that point and flipping eggs isn't exactly hard or special, but they made it this big ordeal, which is fine but you can't look me in the face and tell me that what we're doing here is a culinary feat.

With me, I worked at their GCM location in L.A. and they were opening up a new spot in Glendale. They asked me to help open up the store under the stupilation that if I worked for so long and did 'X' things, I would get a promotion. When it came time for the raise and I had completed what they asked of me, I was constantly told it would happen, but they would give me the run around. Until finally someone else in the store was eligible as well, so instead of just giving us both the position they made us do a 'cook off' and when me and the other persons food came back exactly alike and they couldn't discriminate the begrudgingly gave me a portion of what they promised.

I cooked for them well, did what they asked of me, and came in on time so they couldn't fire me unless they wanted to pay me unemployment or maybe have me file a fucking lawsuit for unlawful termination. I just didn't play ball with their bullshit and didn't let them walk over me because they left such a bad taste in my mouth with my inital (verbal) offer being essentially reneged upon and they didn't like that at all. So they just made my job hell until I left. L.A. was hands down the worst place to cook. I'm sure there are a lot of opportunities there for people, but man if you aren't taken advantage of at every turn...

Oh, also. When L.A. raised their minimum wage, the store in Glendale didn't get the raise because it wasn't in L.A. and the whole store went on strike because of it. Don't know what happened with it. I just heard it second hand from an old coworker.

These fuckers are opening places all over THE WORLD and they nickle and dime their employees and generally treat them like shit. Fuck Jaime, and all of the owners (they were nice in person but they pulled the strings to make our lives hell).

Edit: forgot to say, glad you enjoyed your pancakes ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Kinda irrelevant, but get fucked Eggslut. Worst place to work for, owners are a bunch of liars and have terrible management practices. This is absolutely killing them and I love that for them.

Just a step in the direction towards that, though. They'll pass it, and people will still pirate. Then, they'll claim the legislation wasn't enough and pass another bill further encroaching on our freedom on the internet.

Blow out Hitlers ball in Sniper Elite. Can't get better than that really. Or can you?

Question about the pistol here, is the mount reliable enough to keep it zero'd and accurate? That's a huge pistol and the kickback on the slide would be nuts, lots of energy moving around there to knock something loose, or at least a little off center, I feel like.

I loved it as well. Honestly, all of the DLC well fitting except the last one which wasn't bad but I wouldn't play with it on every campaign like all of the others.

Plus being able to host and let everyone else without the DLC play with those factions was awesome. I honestly might download it and play a campaign or two.

I'm going to get the same card when I build my new rig here in the next few months. Solid choice, have fun!

That might be good for browsing the internet but that seems like hell for gaming

So we're literally just living this book out.

All good! Brothers in (couch) gaming!

My man, if you read what I said on this thread, you'd understand that I've recently moved from mainly gaming on a traditional desktop setup to gaming on a couch. I was only voicing my new feelings I've developed about gaming on my desk instead of couch. For a long time I didn't mind it but the past year or so I've had a different opinion. I was talking about making a little setup for using keyboard and mouse on my couch on a different comment. Sorry if I didn't clarify this well enough.

True, but I would like to prevent anything I can from happening in the name of longevity and preservation. Simple steps now could prevent bigger issues later when it comes to what I'm trying to accomplish here.

 

This kit for being HG is pretty awesome. Bandai has really stepped up their game with this line, the kit has a pesduo-skeleton more like what you would see in a MG but not completely similar. The poseability and range of motion with the joints are also awesome.

The amount of seamline removal for this kit is very minimal as most of the panels for the armor are designed to kind of piece in for the look. But man... the masking tape involved for this kit is going to be crazy. Tons of small details that need attention. I'll be sure to post updates for this kit as I work on it, and others that I do soon. I also stream on Twitch when I build, if you're interested in watching the process feel free to ask for my handle.

What I find about this series most interesting is that I (a zaku enjoyer) really like the new gundam design over the new zaku design and have found that people that usually like gundams over zakus like the Zaku design better.

 

Just looking for people who might play to friend and possibly join my clan. No commitment, no pressure to spend money, just something to do periodically.

 

And a happy new years too.

 

It happens to me fairly often. Usually, it's with food I find less than appetizing, but it's not bad by any means. I think the problem stems from the fact that I cooked for about 8 years for my job. There was a lot of standing and eating, tasting dishes as I went, cooking food that I was never going to eat while I was hungry, etc..

Does anyone else share this problem?

 

Over the years, I've heard many people sample this one sound. There is no way I can describe it other than a rhythmic pulse of an alarm. I've linked two songs that use the sample for the main part of the beat, so you'll be able to compare and figure out what it is. I've heard it on many other songs, but these two keep it around for the longest time. Where the hell did this thing come from, and why does everyone use it (besides it sounding cool)?
