McDonald's mcdouble and mcchicken combined into a single sandwich called a mcgangbang costs about 2.70 and is bigger than a big mac. Fries are expensive as hell in comparison though, which is odd.

if you use the app, you can get free fries with a purchase. i didn't read the article, but someone shared something about it.

lol forreal though i asked that question cause i just ate some 2.00 wendys chili and got full... so im wondering what other food out there is cheap as fuck. You guys pretty much listed all the stuff i eat, so it feels like we're kindred broke spirits or something lol

Find the most economical store around you, buy in bulk on sale, and be your own chef.

Around here we have Fareway, and of course Aldi's if you like them too.

I just bought 5 lbs of this yesterday.

rice, beans, frozen broccoli, oats, eggs, potatoes, carrots, pork butt, bananas



That's...not possible. (getting sufficient nutrients from potatoes)

It's nothing but potatoes for 2 weeks and then you phase in other vegetables. I dunno! I'm just parroting what I heard.

The Rockets are all about taking the most efficient shots and playing offense at a rapid, high level. Why in the fuck would they want Carmelo?

In fact, unless he comes off the bench, why would any team take him at this point in his career?

I think they’re just desperate for anything. And Carmelo still has name appeal. Even though his play has dipped. Last season was the first season where he scored below 21 pts a game avg for a season. The thing is though, like you said, his style doesn’t really fit the Rockets rapid speed offense. So on paper it doesn’t look very promising.

I don’t know. I’m kind of in the boat of expecting GSW to win again so I guess why not throw shit in a blender and see what happens anyways. And Carmelo is that shit in the blender. Kind of like expecting a trainwreck but being okay with it since the outcome is just GSW winning anyways

Penn Jillette did something similar if I remember correctly. He wrote about it some in a book called "Presto!: How I Made Over 100 Pounds Disappear and Other Magical Tales"

You have to make a purchase of a buck to get it along with the app.

I've eaten there twice in five years. I just can't. And there's an app for everything now. Find singles in your area, free fries, switch candies, sell your thing, buy that thing, eh.

The thing that's weird to me is that every team that gets Carmelo expects a player that's basically not him. How many times have coaches thought he'd take better shots, pass more to make the offense flow and not demand so many touches?

And every time he plays the way he's always played. It'd be like someone recruiting me to another forum on the condition that I don't shitpost.

At some point people are who they are and you can't change them.

I feel like I'd get sick of potatoes awfully fast if they were the only thing I could eat

 

[GTR]

Carmelo should come off the bench and probably get maybe 12 min a game, so maybe not enough to damage or mess up any team chemistry

Wasn't there a poster here who always talked about how much potatoes they ate?

Like their diet was 90% potatoes.
