OK, you may have seen my rant in the shoutbox after saying I'd had my first McDonalds in 18 months and it tasted delicious, only for some fckr to come up with the to be expected by now 'junk food', implying they knew better than to eat it. This has been a feature my entire lifetime, with foods going in and out of fashion, dependant on the 'expert' writing the article. I can't speak for the rest of the world, but in the UK the said food is 100% beef, 100% potatoes and is encapsulated in bread (which I have to discard due to gluten intolerance), but labelled junk food by the paper experts. Now exactly the same menu, considered fairly healthy eating, supplied by my local supermarket gives 98% beef, reconstituted potatoes and a choice of so called unhealthy breads. The point being that the food snobs would tell you the first was unhealthy and the second better for you. Now I'm not saying that we don't eat too much, that is a different argument, what I'm saying is that if it tastes good in moderation it is good for you, your taste buds tell you that, food is food full stop. You can dissect the chemical breakdown all you like, and if you want to live your entire life in a self righteous miserable bubble so be it, but please don't tell me what to eat. The fact that you enjoy whatever you are eating shouldn't make you guilty it should make you happy, I list after this what the rations were in ww2 in the UK, count your blessings. This is being accentuated by the present fashion in food shows where much to my amusement we are going backwards, one example being undercooked meat (i.e. pink lamb), now previous generations discovered the hard way the problems with undercooking, so lets learn it all again eh? Enjoy food, eat what you like but try to keep a variety in it, don't turn your noses up at very healthy foods such as liver and cabbage, but above all don't listen to the press, they have their own agenda, and it is usually sponsored. Rationing began on 8th January 1940 when bacon, butter and sugar were rationed. By 1942 many other foodstuffs, including meat, milk, cheese, eggs and cooking fat were also ‘on the ration’. This is a typical weekly food ration for an adult in ww2: Bacon & Ham 4 oz Other meat value of 1 shilling and 2 pence (equivalent to 2 chops) Butter 2 oz Cheese 2 oz Margarine 4 oz Cooking fat 4 oz Milk 3 pints Sugar 8 oz Preserves 1 lb every 2 months Tea 2 oz Eggs 1 fresh egg (plus allowance of dried egg) Sweets 12 oz every 4 weeks

Just got home after a week of fishing. Salami & pepperjack on wheat sandwiches, washed down w/Founders IPA. Chili, grilled chicken, cowboy beans & pork chops on the grill. Margaritas every night over a campfire. Last night was Quesadillas & sweet potato fries @ the local Elks lodge, topped with butter pecan ice creme & cherry pie. Fish fry with bluegills & crappies this weekend, probably make Spanish rice with chicken broth & tomatoes on the side. Had a great time, good to be out w/the crew & the fish were biting. Most of the (un)Holy experts don't know what a farm is, let alone where their food comes from. Doesn't stop them from lecturing. I just yawn, & carry on. I'm the one living this life, not you. I'm not responsible for you, and you certainly aren't responsible for me.

The way I see "junk food" is that you can have whatever you want to but only in moderation alongside other healthier foods. I remember a good while ago a man did a show called "supersize me" where he had McDonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a month if I remember correctly. Eat whatever you want, and if it makes you happy, go for it. Can't wait to have my next maccies when I get paid

Not trying to be disrespectful but lol

Surprisingly strong production & casting & acting: GET OVER HERE!!!

man it would have been cool to see what people had to deal with back in 1919 .1 more thing that is going to end the world .the big covid 19.. with a 99% survival rate ..and do we really have to be told every day about it .we know whats up .. as for this idiot never took a flu shot in my 60 years and you damn sure are not putting that shit in me ..

You're 1,000,000% right here, the media, especially social media, has conditioned us all to believe that we are less than if we so much as put in a pound. The social media 'influencers' promoting dangerous diet aids such as 'detox teas' that can and will fuck your liver and kidneys up but hey at least you'll be skinny (because you're severely dehydrated and malnourished) when you die so you'll need less people to carry your coffin. You see it with men too, with male celebrities being mocked for exhibiting what's known as 'dad bod' (which in my opinion is more atteactive than washboard abs). It's not a female excusive issue.

It's a greater than zero percent chance that you can be unbanned, so keep it up @Bullet person. My Advice is to give us a larger picture of who you are and why we want you here.

Meh, what can ya do, I had already explained to this person the week before the exact reasoning behind why I am doing it, still get called a sheep and told to use my common sense after a long ramble about big pharma this and aids pills that and blah blah blah, I finally told them their opinion means shit to me because I am doing what I FEEL I need to do... a couple of friends on my list agreed and blammmo, unfriended and replies all gone from my post, c'est la vie LMAO

My youngest was the one that was able to do it. My dad had this old car from 1958 that he bought brand new. The engine blew up and he got a new car. This one sat under some pinion trees for years and us boys would go out and play in it. Then when we all left home it was moved as some of the family wanted to restore it. It was white but it is now maroon or something like that.

Some tips: 1. Sleep with your chest down. 2. Keep hydrated. Drink lots of water. 3. Eat something light like chicken soup even though you may not feel like it. Your body needs nutrients to fight. 4. One thing that had me worried was the virus getting to my lungs. So everyday when I woke up I would try to hold my breath for as long as I could to test them out. If your lungs get worse go to the hospital. 5. I lived on oranges and water for about 6 six days before I started eating again. 6. Ask the Good Lord for help.

I had the Moderna one and had no side effects. just got home from the 2nd shot.

Another big thing for me Timmah is a matter of trust. There are a lot of findings, contradictory studies and bs out there that I really have to step back and wait how this all plays out. Not to say that the article that you pointed out is false. But I can't be sure. Stories about our past president secretly banking on herd immunity while lying to the public that vaccines were being distributed has played a major role in my lack of trust. I'm not against vaccines in general but I think we rolled this one out pretty quick. With confidence I can say we don't know enough.

Some of you are silly. The only thing the vaccine does is instruct your body to produce the antigen/protein/marker that is found on the surface of the actual virus. There is no virus in the shot. It does not splice itself into your dna or anything. If you feel unwell, that is merely your immune system's B memory cells & helper T cells making note of the protein. Which shot you get doesn't determine how strongly your immune system reacts. How badly you feel isn't an indication of how robustly your immune system responds. Many people who caught a 'mild case' of COVID is because their immune system didn't mount a strong reaction, & contrary to getting over it easily, they actually carried it around for several weeks as opposed to those who felt really sickly and got over it. As a result of having what they thought was a mild case & actually carrying it around for many weeks, it resulted in most of the mutations, & worse, put them at 60% greater chance of dying within six months after contracting the virus compared to people who felt really horrible & recovered. That's because of the long-term damage that the virus did to several of their systems over the long-term infection they carried. Strokes, neurological damage, heart damage, kidney damage, etc... Ironic that the people who haven't... or didn't get a shot because they thought they wouldn't get really sick or thought they had a mild case are the ones 60% more likely to die from it. And among those that did survive their 'mild case' of the virus, a surprising number are going to be living with long-term or permanent damage to various systems of their body. The chances of contracting COVID & it fucking you up are WAAAY higher than any danger the vaccine presents. But do what makes you happy.... & remember... I told you so.

lmao Love you idiots.

When an admin asks you to stop spamming both ingame text and voice chat? please stop spamming. You received multiple warnings and then you were Kicked and then banned and unbanned once which was your last chance. And then you come back just 3 days after you were unbanned and do the same damn thing again and get banned again and you complain that we are not fair? Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm. WTF? Let me insert this little part from XI's Admin manual. XI admins will kick or ban For excessive amounts of cursing, complaining, mic spamming, and other such things that are taken to the extreme. No one likes a gaming environment where someone is constantly whining, bitching, cursing excessively, etc. Players will be warned, and if they do not stop the behavior, they will be banned. As always, if you have a question about what to consider 'excessive', take it to a head or senior admin.

It is your turn @RobMc I will stick to the 3 letter words....I spelled "cut" only because I had no cu"N"t and yes I excepted your challenge of my words Enow https://scrabble123.com/scrabble-twl-dictionary/enow Wone https://www.wordgamedictionary.com/dictionary/word/wone/ However it is from middle English meaning habit or custom and is a southern variant of "wane" from Old Norse Give yourself a big old hug from loADER

Junk food is anything that @Timmah! hasn't cooked.

Thank You Merlin

Because I have a particular viewpoint that doesn't jibe with someone else's sentiment means I'm a dick. The majority of the people in this group are over 30 & would do well to have the vaccine. So, if I disagree with you thinking I'm a dick because other people disagree with me, by that logic, you also are being a dick, since I disagree with you. And @YACCster, you should be the last person to 'heart' anyone for dickish criticality. But I like the general statement of 'I understand what Sharpe is trying to say' without any specificity. Much easier than coming with supporting facts & references explaining one's position. You do realize there's thousands of people that died because people needlessly spread the virus. I believe that people that don't want to get vaccinated should be barred from public venues, so they don't kill others with their inconsideration. Their attitude is 'fuck them.' So, fuck them. Many have blood on their hands just as surely as if they walked-up & shot someone in the head. Worse actually, because at least that'd be a quick death compared to protracted, cascading multiple organ failure or a nice, slow suffocation due to pulmonary interstitial fluid accumulation. But let's go with the 'I'm being a dick' premise, since it's more convenient.

Bye Bye

Thanks Merlin ..........

Thanks Merlin ..........

Thanks Merlin ..........

In my experience, McDonalds can't even make coffee without burning it. As for their "food", my advice is to flush it straight down the toilet and cut out the middle man.

I 100% agree with you as I tuck into a Mcmuffin the lovely fiancé bought me ? I'm also going to add a different perspective being my own experience and my personal relationship with food, strap in cause this may well be a snowflake perspective. So as you all can clearly see, I'm a big girl, pretty chunky. I'm incredibly aware of this and have had a.....complex relationship with food for the past few years. My GP has stated that a lot of my food based behaviours are thoses associated with eating disorders. I skip meals, I feel incredible guilt after eating, I even sometimes 'purge' (make myself sick after eating). I've become an incredibly picky eater. 9 times out of 10 I get 0 enjoyment from food because of the guilt and self loathing I feel afterwards. This happens regardless of the food, whether it's considered 'healthy' or 'junk food'. So if that 1 in 10 chance I actually enjoy some chicky nuggies, don't then fucking shame me for it cause I'll be feelng that all day. And I wanna bring up your point about the media because you're right, they do play a part in this, especially the whole 'diet culture' side of it and the obsession with weight loss. My point is that we shouldn't shame people for enjoying food whatever that food may be. It's a normal, healthy thing to feel and I honestly wished I felt it more. Just be thankful they're eating at all. TLDR? Don't shame me for enjoying a Maccies cause guaranteed I already hate myself for it and probably have every intention of throwing it back up anyway.

Available on HBO Max as of last night.

You can still rent theaters here in Georgia for $99 and invite the whole crew and be alone. Movie looks promising to me. Feels like it has been 87 years since I was slightly pleased with the 1st one when it came out. Bet this is better! Piglo sai...I can't...ok fine, Piglo said, "Definitely think it has the potential to be the Millennial "Gone with the Wind"..." HAHAHHAA:) Trailer is enticing anyhow.

Never been one for superstition but I presume they are deep rooted in folklore and fairytale and things like that, it's quite interesting.

This is the email I have for you [email protected] Is this correct?

I got tested a few times and it was always negative.

Thanks brother i appreciate you alot. Yesterday I wanted to literally die, begging for death. Today I have minor chills, but still have major achy bones and muscles, got pain in my chest, and it hurts when I breathe ( feels like fluid build-up), as well as a sharp pain on the right side of my stomach and the poopies. Hopefully i will be back to normal tomorrow.

Definitely think it has the potential to be the Millennial "Gone with the Wind"...

It was nearly 2 years ago you were originally banned, one of the admins at the time asked you to change your name as you were using >XI< tags at the end of your name, but you didn't. Your name back then you were using was MaVuong >Xl<. Now all of a sudden you attempt to join the servers with the new name chippy >XI<.... You cannot wear XI tags in the server if you are not a member of the clan.

That's your first problem. Taking it. ?

EastCoast50 couldn't be here tonight to accept the award due to an ongoing corrupt political administration. On his behalf, first I'd like to thank the director, producer and all of the wonderful artists that have worked along side of him on COD4. Everyone has been marvelous. Tremendous. Now, he'd like to thank Beers, RobMc, McGrim and Elvis ... and the rest of the cast ... especially Corsicaman ... for reminding him why he loves COD 4 now more than COD5. It's a win-win situation for everyone ... except if you lose. EastCoast50 wants to remind everyone to brush up on your French, especially if you play COD4. Thank you to everyone that came out to pay tribute tonight! EastCoast50 is proudly sponsored by Coors Light beer (as far as they know).

Hi guys and gals. As I sit here cold and run down from my second covid shot yesterday... If interested, here is an expanded TDM 1.47 up and running at 74.91.124.166:28960. Quite a few upgrades and alterations to make something more attuned to matches with immediate respawning. The size is much bigger, mostly due to higher quality/number of images and also added audio files. Uses vanilla cod4 not cod4x. As such map compatibility suffered a little bit but thus far only a few. Being TDM it also opened up other maps that normally would not be suitable for ftag. cod4x is very nice and deals with a lot of things such as this but atm it is preferable to avoid having people to download and install non-official patches. There is also no OSX support for it. However, in the end maybe its something people would prefer. Health is the standard 100 for now for testing. But will likely end up at around 40-50, something in between hc and sc. The minimap is 'enemies firing', for the moment, to push the action faster for a smaller number of players. Eventually it will move to the usual UAV. At the moment punkbuster is required while its undergoing testing. Version v1.828 | A1407 C2.318. Which should be the last one available. The workaround of using the old installer, that still has the older games, no longer fully works. The installer looks for the dll/htm files in a location that evenbalance no longer has. Things can be installed manually however. Since there is no dedicated admin administration or monitoring, to watch out for cheaters and such, some choices are still being worked out on what to do. As you can see my playing skills and accuracy sucks but just to give an idea on a few things. A few bugs being worked out such as missing reload sounds on a couple weapons. A couple streaks need to be tweaked. Also, there is an issue with the Sig556 extended mags and special if you empty your magazine and the last burst has less than three rounds. Internal program bug. Fixed and will be uploaded soon.

Four items. The GL attachment. The Barrett with the 'Burster' enhancement (unique item). Basically a variation of some item... I forget the name of it... that is in Ghost or some other game. Dead players explode into chunks which damage nearby enemies. A simple one to add since it doesnt have a silencer option so why not. The Hat Trick '3 weapons' perk. As an example for score streaks, the first award (for the RC) is 30 points and obtained by First Blood (10 points) and two kills (10 each). Many of the 'kill' related bonuses, Backstabber etc, give +5 points as does destroying heli's, sentries and all of those good things. As always, streak score points do not count towards streaks. The second vid is the background battle audio. The cod4 sound system has two tracks for every map. Front and rear. Most maps, including custom, use variations of one of four front/rear sets: backlot/bog, overgrown, bloc, countdown. Some use none at all. It is now a random choice among 12 new tracks (6 each) for front and rear chosen each time the map is run. Urban, general battlefield, distant artillery, etc. Also a few specialty tracks for forests/nature, bases, winter, quieter environments. The overall volume/loudness are also random each time. Custom maps with their own included ambience or battle tracks (OSG maps are a good example) are excluded. It sounds loud in the second video but player battles and in-game sound fx tends to push it into the background, as in the first video. Much better for immersive audio.

Looks great! Gonna be following this for sure, do keep the updates coming

Thx. Some of the more significant updates/differences: All 'weapon' specific perks such as bullet damage have been moved to a separate weapon enhancement section that works as a second attachment of sorts. The first is an actual attachment (acog etc) while the other improves performance. That in turn opened up 7 perk slots. Some of which are used for splitting up a few perks, to allow for a little more specialization, and adding some others. Yup includes marty. Drops a standard semtex so it flashes and beeps. Hey its not so bad. Scorestreaks. Three primaries/secondaries. The first weapon you pick up from a dead player is added and does not replace the one you are holding. Scavenger, and subsequent pickups, work normally with all three. Various weapon replacements. A third assault class special. A sniper special. GL attachment restored (M32 inventory option removed). Explosive crossbow only and impact explode (to deal with an unforseen issue). 6 rounds, however compared to the 2-round smaw/rpg its power and radius is limited. 2 mags of 3 rounds each. Reaper removed (incompatibility with cod4x and player guided missiles). However the ac130 restored, which imo is a much better streak. Needs real world testing, so to speak, to make sure it looks good or at least reasonable for weapon fire. The plane is significantly farther away with a little sleight of hand for the player/owner. It seems to be the way the designers were going to handle a potential ac130 streak in an early version of the original game. It requires SAMs to destroy it. Additional super character, for two. Duke and Ghost. Each serves a different purpose and choose the one that best fits your needs and location. Slow but heavily armed... minigun and rockets... and armored. Or fast with light weapons, good health, but no armor. Multi-mine streak. Places an item that has four bouncing betties. This is similar to the IMS but went with something different that affects everyone and everything 360, exploding cars for example, not just a pulse beam. A lot of various behind-the-scenes improvements meant to improve game play. Havent been able to test all of them but compatible with all stock games and ctf. Uses standard/original server settings.

Thanks Sammy, Im on it now, looking good!

Got to love Rally Wheels !! Any Chevy muscle car looks great with them.

no just lots of elbow grease and paints, sandpaper, wire brush and silver paint for the bad spots to hide them, final coat after silver then clear to seal metal very time consuming 2 days ordeal for drying time of washing and painting.

Looks like the latest version of Microsoft Paint. ?

I love Redline. Need more people to play though. I also love CTF. Nice change
