    I've had american coke, sprite and Dr Pepper. The artificial sweeteners taste like shit compared to the real sugars used in UK versions. However those sugars are produced in the UK and easy for food manufacturers to get hold of, in the US it costs alot more to the point of near inviability. You tend to find the version of coke sold on tap in most pubs tastes similar to the US version (it is artificial).

    McDonalds. The beef and chicken are both free range and sourced from british farms. The burgers are literally beef with a bit of seasoning, none of that pink pastey shit they stuck into the US one.

    Don't know the difference for Dominos. But a warning to anyone who cannot eat gluten, nothing on the Dominos UK menu is gluten free, *NOTHING*, even the shit that is advertised as gluten free is not gluten free. All the gluten free menu items are prepared atop a surface prepared with cornflour - which contains gluten, therefore negating the lack of gluten in the item itself.

    Never been to Panda Express, but there's a Chinese restaurant (not real Chinese good stuff, love me some boba cha and dumplings), but it's called Golden Buddha. It is really good and like $7 for a massive meal. Chik-Fil-A is like half a mile down the road from my house. 0-60 knows where it is. Also, we have a Wendy's, McD's, BK, Zaxby's, and a lot more. I live in a good area for fast food, but my part of town is truly awful. Drug dealer, child molester (or said the FamilyWatchdog site), and a trailer park within 500 feet of my current location. Yay. :?

    I want to know where I said that they endanger people more than any other car. You simply stated that a golf cart endangers nobody but the golf cart occupants which is simply false. Pedestrians, motorcycles and anybody that swerves to avoid the golf cart (or any other vehicle for that matter) are still at risk from the golf cart (or any other vehicle for that matter) therefore proving your point false and reinforcing your reckless disregard for road safety.

    That's not real Chinese food get outta here :)

    I reckon anything moving at a reasonably good clip can be dangerous. Hell, even stationary things can be dangerous. Actually, come to think of it, everything ever is dangerous.

    Well I don't disagree. There is a local chinese place here that is absolutely fantastic. All cooked from scratch in house. Its magnificent. Panda Express is mostly garbage except for their teriyaki chicken and white rice.

    McDonalds literally makes me sick (other than their breakfast stuff, that's fine)

    dominoes is decent IMHO (they actually changed the recipes used in 2012, it's FAR better than the old ones), although round table is the best for pizza here (although pretty expensive)

    as for soda i'm personally more of a root beer or mountain dew person myself, as for me coke, pepsi and DR.pepper are kind of bland


    as for americanized chinese food, there's this one local restaurant in town that's freaking amazing, best americanized chinese food i've ever had (won't say name because it's a local business)

    McDonalds has a good breakfast, but that's it. The only fast food I will bring myself to eat is Chick-fil-A and occasionally Panda Express. As for pizza, I can't stand those "fast food" pizza places (dominos, pizza hut, papa johns, marcos, etc...). If I'm gonna eat pizza, it better be actual pizza. Like true Italian style pizza from an Italian restaurant. That or a true pizza place. There is the place downtown call Pint & Slice. Hands down best pizza in my city. Gino's East pizzeria in Chicago has the best deep dish pizza in existence. For drinks, I only do water or sweet tea. Carbonation kills my stomach.

    I thought you were saying that golf carts endanger the people around them more than any normal vehicle.
    I meant that they are only further endangering themselves any more than they would be if they were in a normal vehicle. The only elevated danger is to the people on the golf cart, not the other people around.
    All everything is a danger to all other everything. I know. :|

    And the countdown to me obtaining an infraction begins. Or I might get away with it.


    Anyway. Where the hell is my custom badge for breaking 5k posts? I know the last one ran away, but there has to be a badge which has the balls to stand up to my full time fucking legendaryness.

    After 5k posts you should be able to make your own custom title at least. I like it when forums do that.

    what do you mean "they will be"

    they already ARE worse than EA, EA has actually improved a LOT recently

    for goodness sakes they blamed AC:U's problems on AMD hardware

    yeah lets see here, TB has an i7-4790K which is made by AMD... oh wait

    well has has double SLI gtx 980's which are made by AMD... wait no

    DARNIT, the animus must be running on AMD hardware, only explamation

    even if it WAS amd specifically being the problem, if they love consoles over pc so much, WHY ISN'T IT OPTIMIZED FOR AMD, as both the next gen consoles are lets see, AMD

    LOGIC



    Why-do-Europeans-hate-American-cars

    lel, i think myth's jealous

    ROR forums had hero member at 10k. You've got a bit to go. :p

    I got my youtube channel working. Now I wait for my GPU to come in so I can record again. I deleted all my other stuff because it was over a year old. It'll also all be 720p because I've only got 720p monitor.

    I personally only watch videos at 720p on YouTube because the compression is so bad, no matter how high you set the resolution it still looks choppy.
