Doner kebabs > all fast food. IMO much better than burgers.

Mmmmmm, the hot wings McDonalds have a little now and then, nothing can beat them <3 They've got great chips too.

Fun fact: at least in Sweden, McDonalds doesn't even see Burger King as a concurrent anymore. They're so low quality overall and (in comparison to McDonalds) almost nobody likes them :D

WHAT! BURGER KING FRIES OWN! LIAR!
As regards Burger King fries, I think they are much nicer than McDonald's fries (i.e. I need less salt for them to taste good ).
Agree. Usually, they are already salted enough. :D

How about KFC? Is that considered fast food? KFC is good most of the time.

Harveys is called Carls Jr. on the West Coast. ;)

I don't like McDonalds, I do like "Harveys" a bunch, and Arbys is awesome. I'm not a fan of Burger King either, and like the one you went to, the one here takes foreverrrrr to get your order in. It's always slow.

Around my house though, we have about 20+ fast food places, and like 10+ restaurants. They're all within about 10 minutes of my house, max. Thats the one thing I enjoy about living here, all the nice food places so close to my house, and most of them are all down one road. :D

Burger Kings are scarce in the UK, but I always loved the Bacon Double Cheese (actually, that's the only burger I'll eat from most fast food chains, I can't do with the crap supposedly healthy stuff on top of it). And their fries are actually the best. Nor is the service too bad, but when I was in Florida the service was much slower.

I'll only eat McDonalds if I have to, their fries are like cardboard, the nuggets and chicken strips are 90% batter, and their burgers aren't too great.

KFC is the only other real fast food option (apart from Subway, but I don't often go there) around here, and it's either really good, or really bad depending on which one you go to.

I try to avoid fast food though. Home-cooked is always miles better (though my special "heart stopper" burger makes McDonalds look healthy). If I'm out I'll get a sandwich or steak pie. Steak pies rock.

Rapmaster: Must... try...


KFC: Big crunch is the best chicken burger ever.
- gravy: leaves an aftertaste for three straight days.
- chicken parts: clay smothers in grease and call it food.

Taco bell: disgusting.
Taco time: only on university's taco tuesdays, where they are 60% of the price

The reason I don't like Burger King's fries are they are almost universally undercooked in the Burger Kings around my place.

I do like home cooking, but right ingredients are scarce.

I think the fast food in the Philipines are much more edible than what you guys eat. (Even macdonalds) Also Jolibee ftw.

A&W I think is only in US and Canada, as far as the restaurant chain goes. The root beer can probably be found elsewhere.

I like pretty much all of them. It depends on my mood. :p

And I don't judge food based on service!

Like Morgan Spurlock...


I say FUCK FAST FOOD :eek:


Most of the food I eat is either home cooked by me or my mother. The last time I had fast food was at a Quinceañera invitation but it was at a restaurant, I don't know if that is "fast food". I just don't like eating food outside, it's a weird habit I know >_>

Yeah, fast food is gross. But I guess my favorite is Sonic. I don't think it is everywhere in the U.S. or in any other countries. I could be wrong though, but I didn't see any on the west coast.
Taco Bell has some good stuff.

Come to San Antonio. You'll take those words back.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
