Mega Potato to go back on sale at McDonald's Japan ‹ Japan Today: Japan News and Discussion - http://www.japantoday.com/categor...
Jennifer Dittrich, Amir and Ross Miller liked this
"McDonald’s Japan’s returning limited-edition Mega Potato side is so frighteningly large it ought to come with graphic warning photos of what happens to people who make a habit of eating it, like cigarette packs in the West. The reintroduced Mega Potato is equivalent to two orders of large fries and comes in a container so comically huge you could just stick your face directly into it like a pig at a trough, if that’s your thing. Or you could share it with “friends” or something, like anyone actually has that in mind when ordering one of these."

Seems like they missed a prime opportunity to ad a Mc in the product name... surely the McMega Potato would be more at home with their other offerings...

"'I have never in my life seen such a swollen pelvic bone. It hid the whole package [and] the scrotum was enlarged. Right now it feels heavy and unreal.'" o_O — maybe I'm grossly misinterpreting this, but it sounds like the dude quoted found his neighbor dead after he tried to f- a hornet's nest, and the first thing he did was grab his penis and scrotum to feel how "heavy and unreal" they were?

- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Maybe he was holding the Hornets nest ?
- Eric
I mean, he may just mean that finding his neighbor dead with a massively swollen penis and scrotum after he tried to f- a hornet's nest is "heavy and unreal" and he wasn't actually handling anything, but it is still a very weird juxtaposition.

WTF? How badly does one need to get off that fucking a hornet's nest seems the logical thing to do? Was there no bread loaf in his house that he could hollow out and lube up with mayo? How about a gourd or melon of some sort? Shit, even a big mushy pile of boiled noodles would be preferable to banging a LIVING HIVE OF ANGRY STINGING THINGS.

I watched the Kitchen Nightmares on these two. Elena looked them up and one thing they didn't mention on the show was that she called 911 and hung up. The police came to find out what was going on while they were berating a customer. This was before Ramsey even showed up. You could see a producer plead with them to not get into a physical altercation.

Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine!
- Micah
Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments)..
- Chris Myles
1.78 (8529/4782)
- Micah
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.
- Micah
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.
- Micah

'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :)

wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff)

- Micah
that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.

I should be upset about this, but, honestly, I haven't watched more than one or two new episodes since it moved to Comedy Central (a lot of that, I think, had to do with the Viacom/DirecTV pissing match a while back).

- Jimminy
I faded away once they were on Comedy Central at least partially because the timeslot I could record/watch was the one after 10pm, and it was chock full o' porn advertisements. There was also lingering irritation with how poorly they were treating the re-run older episodes (chopping bits out of the opening/ending) that Cartoon Network had done so much better with.

Would it even be possible to build a good gaming machine that will last for at least two years for under $1k?

All the console makers do it. Or are they more expensive now?
- Eivind
Most brand new consoles are sold at a loss, aren't they?
- Victor Ganata
I've no idea. I don't play video games and I've never owned a console. I just had a vague feeling they were considerably cheaper than $1k.
- Eivind
They are, but not that high of one. I can't find the article now, but the current XBox 360 was predicted to cost about $10 more to make than it did to purchase (which given that you'd expect to make a much higher margin of profit, is still a lot, but not $1K.)
- Jennifer Dittrich
Yeah, usually they get the manufacturing cost down after a few years, but I still imagine the PS4 and the XBox 720 are probably going to dig a big hole in Sony's and Microsoft's profits on release, just like when the PS3 and the XBox 360 first came out.
- Victor Ganata
My gaming machine is 3 years old and still runs everything I want it to run. It cost $1700 mostly because I spent a LOT on a fancypants case ($200) and SSD ($400); it You might start with a system guide like http://www.anandtech.com/show... or http://arstechnica.com/gadgets... . Getting a console is easier though.
- Amit Patel
Heh, well, I can't play WoW or SC2: HotS on a console, and the console versions of The Sims 3 are massively crippled, so my PS3 has almost been entirely used for streaming Netflix :D
- Victor Ganata
It will last, but will it play the newer games that come out in two years? Not likely.
- Me
Pretty sure MMO champion has monthly builds that range from ~$500 to ~$2k that could be worth checking out. In regards to the two years bit, I went the same route as Amit 4 years ago and my tower hasn't had any trouble with current games. The video card is getting pretty close to needing a replacement, though and I did have the ssd fail about a year ago.
- Ross Miller
Also, are you including the monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers/etc. in your budget or just the tower?
- Ross Miller
Many friends swear by New Egg. Back when I was into building my rigs, I found they were still a little more expensive than some other places. Still, good place to window shop and maybe they're cheaper now. You should look at your current machine. If you don' t have to upgrade your CPU, just start with memory and video card, I'd say. Budget conscious: never buy the top tier video card. Go a generation or two lower.
- Arlan K.
Heh, I've been playing on a 2009 MacBook Pro. I've already maxed out the RAM and I'm not adventurous enough to go digging through its innards to replace the hard drive with an SSD. I've been able to play WoW and D3 and SC2: WoL well enough, but I can't imagine it handling Sim City 5 very well (when they finally release a version that runs on Mac OS X.) I do have a Windows 7 on a Bootcamp partition, but I'm starting to think it may be better to have a dedicated Windows machine built from parts.
- Victor Ganata
Yeah, when I built my current desktop I shopped between Newegg, Amazon and Mwave, although I ended up getting most of it at Amazon because their prices were competitive and I'm a Prime member with an Amazon rewards card.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
If you already have a good case and PSU, I think you can build a good machine for under $1k...if not, it will be difficult since a good case and PSU can set you back $300 or more, in total.

According to one month price trend-line for unleaded gas, price change is positive by 3.06 percent.

- Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
It's not like Yahoo was knocking it out of the park with their previous policies. I'm sure Ms. Mayer and the board felt they needed to make some drastic changes in order to reinvent themselves and increase their relevance. This falls into the "drastic change" category -- maybe it'll make sense and end up being a good move.

I think when people are jumping on this policy they are projecting what happens within a healthy focussed culture. In that environment a lot of things work that don't work when you are in trouble. She is trying to fall back to a rallying point and reorganize for another attack or a better defense. In that scenario she is making a good decision, though she should also make the same child care available that she has.
- Todd Hoff
I thought the point well made in this particular snippet is that this might hurt some of their working parents particularly hard, especially those who are single -- in a way that she won't feel herself because she's wealthy enough to build her own child care center at work. I think the idea is sound, but if they're not making moves to mitigate some of that, they're going to lose some of the people they're trying to reincorporate.

"Watching these clothes in action, you realize the lie told by those stills of Barnes. They were staged with a good photographer, and have some panache. They looked viable on him. But we didn't see viability on Friday night. We saw indifference. We saw mess. The uniform didn't hug the body. They hung from it the way the some tank-top jerseys do. But pitted opposite the league's sleeveless standard, they conferred upon the Warriors a degree of amateurishness, of warm-up, of "our regular joints got ruined in the wash." The Spurs looked confident. The Warriors looked like a gangly high school soccer team."
