If you want a combo meal and since idk like $7 at minimum? I usually get a large unsweetened tea so that adds a dollar or two to it.

Last time I went to BK the combos were probably reaching $8-9 which is how much Chipotle is for healthier, actual food

You're really dumb if you think Chipotle is that much healthier.

People keep saying amd is dying but I'm not so sure, if you do any googling on building a budget gaming tower literally everyone will recommend you go for the amd 6300 + the gtx 950 right now, together they're about 250 and pass better benchmarks than current gen gaming consoles. I think intel firmly has higher end processors in their pocket but if you're the kind of person who builds a cheapish pc every half a dozen years to keep up with modern games amd is always going to be best bang for your buck in the 100 dollar range processors.

First of all: Don't let people buy AMD. Seriously they are not competetive, maybe in sponsored content articles but not in the real world where performance per clock remotely matters.

Second even if their garbage processors were competetive (which they are not) they aren't making any money with them. They lost $660 million on $4 billion in revenue in 2015.
They already split of their fabs a number of years ago, last year they also placed their assembly and testing division in a joint venture where they have a minority stake and they have had multiple rounds of layoffs the last few years, just a few months ago they had to let 5% of their workforce go. They also liquidated their microserver business seamicro in 2015.

Their current products are not that competetive (either GPU or CPU), they have nothing left to sell and a fraction of the R&D budget of their competitors.

the 6300 is basically best performance for the cost, I'm not saying intel doesn't make stronger chips i'm just saying that if you're building an intel rig you're going to be spending more money. You can google it yourself I was just recently looking at parts and literally everyone from tech sites to private forums recommends you go with the 6300 950 combo right now for a 500 buck pc. People start recommending intel based builds when you hit 700 or so but that's 200 more dollars than you need to spend to run pretty much anything at max specs right now, about all you get is more future proofing. There is no mass online conspiracy to get you to buy bad parts it's just amd typically has better budget processors while intel typically has better high end ones.

There's strategic space in nearly every industry for "cheaper and worse", but it's still a bad idea to buy AMD stuff because compared to a cheap Pentium, they aren't much cheaper but are a lot worse.

It can compete with a similar priced i3 in multithreaded workloads. Once you hit something that can not use all modules you are much better off with a i3. It also uses 50% more power (more cooling, noise) than that i3. I'd have a i3 6100 any day of the week over a AMD FX-6300. It beats a i3 by very slim margins in some workloads and losses massively in single threaded workloads.

Pretty sure that annual losses equivalent to 35% of your market cap (half of which is the cash and equivalents you have in the bank) counts as circling the drain.

Chipoltle would be a healthy lunch at maybe 1/3rd of the portion size or less, a lot like every other fast food restaurant, "health oriented" or not.

People really don't "get" the concept of moderation, it always blows my mind.

Also lol at goons ITT that apparently don't know that sugar occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables. :wtc:

On the few occasions ive been to chipotle i ate about half the burrito then and half later so two 400 calorie meals actually sounds pretty reasonable to me. More salt than you should be having but thats true of pretty much any food you don't cook fresh at home so whatever.

I think the idea is that beans and rice is as far as fast foods go healthier and more filling per calorie than alternatives. I can only get about halfway through a chipotle burrito but i could easily eat 1k calories of jack in the box.

Honestly though if you are eating fast food enough where you need to be conscious about the less unhealthy options you're already failing at life. Fast food should be a rare enough treat that it shouldn't matter what you're binging on. One drunken evening of bad food should not make or break your diet.

for the quantity of food that's legitimately not unhealthy compared to other restaurant food

EDIT: it's about the same amount of food as half a dozen taco bell tacos and contains 200 less calories, less than half the calories from fat, half the fat, and less cholesterol keeping in mind that the crunchy taco is one of the healthiest menu items at taco bell because it's nothing but a little bit of beef and shredded cheese and tons of lettuce on a corn tortilla, whereas everything else is slathered in mayo-based sauces, sour cream, and nacho cheese

perhaps you have never heard of the concept of market saturation that has started to apply to computers since they aren't obsolete after 2 years anymore, and you probably like to extrapolate exponential growth into the far future

you're well suited to become the new ceo of a company that is doing moderately well. you'll have no problems turning it around and quickly bringing it to the point of circling the drain.

if you build a cheapish PC every five years or so, buy a cheap haswell i3 and a gtx 950 for higher gaming performance and lower electricity bills
