    I use MSG in pretty much all dishes these days. IDK why it was so vilified by the west. But , shit, its even popular in European seasonings as well. It just makes savory shit taste better. When you taste it, it tastes like salt.

    I would think a "cream of anything" soup would just overpower a delicate soup such as clam chowder. You dont want clam chowder to taste like celery soup, but a clam chowder.

    Honestly I think the movie thing has never recovered since COVID or like 2020. I have a huge ass AMC 20 by my house, 2 IMAX screens, 3 restaurants in the huge ass parking lot built in the2000s? 2010s?. And I can say I pass this thing all the time and Barely like 20-30 cars in the parking lot...

    Any soup recipe that relies on canned soup is an auto fail.

    Not really difficult. Just need to get all the parts and lines to set it all up. First thing is the C02 tank. I got mine online brand new sale 5lb for $50, and the regulator was $50 more. But those are one time purchases. Next was filling the thing with co2, which I have an airgas place 3 miles...

    Here is one I brewed up last weekend. Supposed to be a bud light clone for my wife. The trick in getting it to be a "light" beer with like 75% less carbs is to add 1/4 tsp of Amylase enzyme formula into the fermentor. Which supposedly breaks down all the left over starches into fermentable...

    So turned out really nice. Can taste and smell the cascade hops with a little honey flavor of the grains. It’s only been in keg for 5 days so it still needs to clarify some more. But that’s noob shit, I don’t mind some yeast in my beer. Not bad for my first brew in like 25 yrs. By my calcs it...

    I still dont see the whole "competition" thing youre claiming there would be. Games are not like TV, in that youre only playing one at a time, so you would sub to the game you want to play. And maybe check out some others while youre there. Not all of them at once. Content would still drive...

    Who? xbox live? or PS whatever the fuck? Its the only ones that comes to mind. If you want to play from games, you pay, either for box price or the fucking sub. Simple as that. And there is plenty of people that jack off to anything from software, so they would have plenty of subbers. The...

    Do you blame them though? Risky shit is well... risky.

    I know its a bit more work but there is always the wood burning stove. I have one in one of my 2 pole barns up in northern mi and it does quite well in heating the whole 30x40 area. They are quite efficient too. if you dial them in. Of course there is a bit of ramp up time, but thats with all...

    For me its more of a support and thumbs up to them for making these types of CRPG still with an early purchase so they keep making them.

    I would take a fucking robo voice with no emotion or acting at all over no voice so I dont have to sit there and read reams and reams of dialogue and other writing in some RPG games. On that note, some streamers have some AI voice shit in their streams, one that comes to mind is Gladd, wich has...

    Im in Michigan and it gets pretty chilly here but I know from paying my bills for decades now is that my power consumption in winter is like literally 1/2 if not 1/3 of what it is in the summer. So if they are having power issues in Alberta in the dead of winter, guess they are fucked in summer...

    You guys in Canada basically live in a communist state, or really close to one. Were not too far away here in US either, just a matter of time. BTW who the fuck heats their house with electricity anyway, isnt it all or mostly gas out there?

    The shit changed so much from back when I used to brew hardcore in the 90s. They have programs that scale your recipes to whatever size you want to brew. But I suggest getting a few used corny kegs, they can be had for like $50 ea and make home brewing so much easier. Plus now its all the rage...

    Yeah scatter signal has that new over under perk which is the only 500 fusion with that perk and is the only one which can go through 100 resil and any over shield including woven mail if you land 8 of the 9 bolts. 6 bolt warlocks in healing rift. Its also good for pve with shielded enemies.

    Owlcat games are riddled with reams and reams of lore and story. The first one, kingmaker, was not as bad as wrath, but still. I quit wrath because I just could not take the dialogue and story BS anymore.
