This right here:

That stuff is gross. That's why I didn't ever bother trying pistachios for years, but the nuts themselves aren't too bad. Maybe homemade pistachio pudding would be better.

If I end up getting a bag of Roasted Cashews at Walgreens or another store, I can go through the whole bag in one day .

Re: Off Topic 2015

I love cashews, and they grow a lot in my island. Seriously the best cashews I ever had but I had no idea it was dangerous to process it. Part of the fruit is super acidic and causes crazy burns. You can tell who are cashew pickers here with they're ****ed up arms.

Unrelated, I'm friends with a twin who anytime she wanted to piss off the younger one would say "You know when I was your age" and proceed to tell her what she did 10 minutes ago.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Alright this has been going around and I feel the need to ask here. Is the hot dog a sandwich?

IMO, not a sandwich it's a hot dog.

Technically, yeah. It's a piece of meat "sandwiched" between two pieces of bread with optional toppings. But it's its own subgenre of sandwich, as in nothing else is a hot dog but a hot dog. Same for hamburgers.

Like all squares are quadrilaterals but not all quadrilaterals are squares.

If I told someone to make me a sandwich and they came back with a hot dog or hamburger, I'd make sure to slap them.

I can't hang with almonds anymore, wish I could as they are pretty good for you.

The way they stick in your teeth is unbearable to me.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Anyone play LEGO Dimensions yet?

I have LEGO Harry Potter and LEGO Star Wars, and though mindlessly easy (to the point that it's hard because it's so simple... I overthink), they're fun to be able to play with the wife or anyone who isn't a gamer.

I really wanna experience the crossover of different franchises all LEGO'ed out, but the $99 price tag is a bit daunting. I know it's jacked up because of the physical interactivity, but I want to make sure it'll get play time to justify it. Seen almost all positive reviews but figured I'd ask around here too.

Re: Off Topic 2015

OK, I have no idea what's going on here. I had excel open as as I went to close it a little message popped up saying my display driver has stopped and was restarted (been happening intermittently since upgrade to Windows 10. Then I closed excel and was greeted by this.

I restarted and saw that Windows had installed updates and when it finally restarted it was still like that. I dunno if if it was caused by the display driver completely breaking (device manager says my graphics card is working properly though) or the updates or what. I've restarted several times, did a deep scan with my iolo system mechanic, and installed a bunch of driver updates system mechanic said were available, but nothing has worked.

EDIT: Bah, figured it out. Apparently my desktop somehow accidentally got switched to tablet mode

I so far have passed on it based on the cost even though I've completed nearly every Lego game. I really want to play through the Back to the Future and Simpsons levels, but isn't it like $25 for a 20 minute level? I have yet to replay a Lego game other than Lego Star Wars, so I doubt I would here either. But I really like how you have little mini Lego builds with all the pieces, that's fun.

Still, my love for Lego probably would have pushed me to get the game had my love of Star Wars not been greater. So I spent the money on Disney Infinity 3.0 and lots of the Star Wars figures. Given how much fun I've had with that game, I think Lego Dimensions would have been fun too if I just discard the cost which I would have inevitably done.

Gosh.

I bought NBA 2K16 and I already regret it. There's going to be way too many nights I go to bed later than I should've playing this game.

It's so beautifully constructed...even down to my annoyance at seeing Shaq at the halftime and end of game shows.
