The T30 is one of the rarer US vehicles in War Thunder. It is a bona fide heavy tank with an artillery sized cannon slapped into the turret. It is quite fun, though limited by the insanely long reload.

As a Chipotle employee, hard agree on chipotle going downhill over time. Additionally, the unmelted cheese/uncooked quesadilla thing is an issue with the quesadilla ovens we use. They're very ineffective at cooking and almost never melt anything. The one at my specific store broke after less than a year and bricked itself. We want to give yall a decent quesadilla, but we arent allowed to double cook quesadillas, so we literally have to give you unmelted quesadillas. So never order quesadillas from chiipotle - chipotle worker

@Katask0p0 25 күн бұрын

The fact that the tortilla and the contents can be so cold it's such an affront to my very being and people, quesadillas can be so much more

@dan_loeb 25 күн бұрын

damn. my local Chipotle still has great quesadillas but they undercook rice on other things half the time. It's the only menu item they are still consistent on. everytime i get a burrito or bowl with crunchy/tacky chewy rice i just go for the quesadilla again for the next few months then forget eventually and take the risk again.

@EpicFace83 25 күн бұрын

@dan_loeb that sounds like an issue with the rice cooker. It operates on a timer that we don't have to set, it just cooks for the set amount of time. Either there isn't enough water, or the rice cooker isn't getting hot enough. I'd take bad quesadillas over bad rice myself

@rach71923 25 күн бұрын

it’s so sad, i used to love chipotle so much. peak chipotle where i was at was getting out of school and grabbing a bowl with friends or just on the way home. 10-13 bucks for a huge bowl of food that would last at least 2 meals edit to add that it’s even more sad it’s not just chipotle, it feels like every food place has really gone downhill in recent years, especially having worked at taco bell for a bit, quality is through the floor and prices through the roof

@EpicFace83 25 күн бұрын

@rach71923 big facts. The only reasons I get chipotle are because I get a discount, and the one I work at is mad consistent with quality (except quesadillas). All the other chipotles within ~45 minutes are bad based off google, except like one or two others. Shit is sad.

T30 is my favorite tank, I play it more than anything. It's like gambling every time you fire. You either hit a tree or obstacle because of how large the shell is, do 0 damage because you hit their barrel, or hit the side of a king tigers turret and it doesn't overpressure the side hull roof.. or you 1 shot someone lol. It's like CBT but honestly, the commanders hatch snipes make it all worth it.

Chipotle employee here, it sounds like maybe their quesadilla machine is broken and they had to use the tortilla press. Also I too think it’s ridiculous that we can’t make quesadillas on the main line. The reason I’ve been given is that they “take up too much time” but we still make kids quesadillas and those arguably take even longer.
