    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    This. A ladle/cup + stirring works wonders. It still becomes difficult if you're trying to make many at once, but this method seems to produce a tasty product. That said, at home, I generally suffice with an omelet. I can prep, cook, hollandaise, and clean within a half hour, but it's...

    I like Lifetime, but there's varying rates/privileges depending on the location. A gold membership is roughly $70 a month, -25ish from Medica insurance, -20 from work. So I end up paying $25/month for a lap pool, nice locker room, and professional-appearing facilities. If my work/insurance...

    The Newsroom S2

    A lot of this show seems based around convenience. The show never portrayed the relationship as serious. Even the gossip writer, in subtext, viewed Will's relationship to Mac as more serious than her own. The show's portrayal, and the gossip writer's dialogue, seemed to suggest that she was...

    Nixon. Dole. Romney. Obama. Healthcare is hardly a democratic ideal. I would question your desire to avoid a debate in this thread by posting an easily debatable, and equivocally trolling, statement. Your example regarding a fringe left-wing plan is about as centrist as you can be as it...

    The Newsroom S2

    It did seem like more of a series finale than a season finale, which made me wonder if the third season was tenuous. I found the season finale too sweet and a bit of a mess. In the constellation of the season, perhaps, the sweetness was intended to offset the bitterness of the...

    Aarklash Legacy

    If I remember the composition of the encounter, on Rag'narok, I burnt down the skeleton priest followed by the mage. I had the kangaroo use Nella for mana and Nella was spec'd with the heal that heals herself as well for never-ending/low risk kangaroo mana. I had positioned Nella by the enemy...

    Secondary action/sympathy strike for Fedor (this really should be enough of a warning)? ... I'm not sure how Fedor does it. I literally feel as if I've rended my soul trying to find a horrific gif. And now I have an unquenchable thirst to find more. Pug reddit was so much more my speed.

    White Queen [Starz]

    Considering how much history this show covers, it actually moves quite quickly. The acting is, okay. The story is, okay. It might be worth watching On Demand/torrented on a lazy weekend. An adequate amount of alcohol quells some of the skepticism. I may have touched myself during Anne...

    Robocop - Remake

    Oof. Not to jump on the bandwagon, but based on that trailer I don't think Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton can save this one. Perhaps if half the movie is Gary Oldman reading a phone book, then it might have a chance. I'd like to be wrong. Then again, with a $100,000,000 budget, it may go...

    No. You're also confounding all areas of psychology as being essentially the same (e.g. evolutionary, counseling, clinical, neuro, and quantitative). Each area, and within each area, there's varying degrees of purity. That said, the purity chart is amazing. I've been looking for something...

    Depression

    The only reason I bring it up is that there are therapists that specialize in bereavement that may,or may not, be more appropriate or helpful than a generic therapist. If you can meaningfully engage in therapy, it's all about finding someone that you can establish a therapeutic relationship...

    From my light, marginal, principally disinterested skimmings, this sounds more like bereavement/anticipatory grief than a major depressive disorder.

    It seems like you just want to argue, which is understandable as it's the internet. I like to argue, too, especially when imbibing. I will concede that my post wasn't worded well or as concretely as necessary to more directly relay my opinion. The lack of definiteness in the choice of my...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    It sounds like what you actually mean is yes. Yes, there was a movie with a similar premise released before Dredd. Who wrote the script first is irrelevant. I am not accusing, nor do I care, who copied whom. I am accusing them of making a movie that, even if entirely original, came off as...

    Perhaps the differences in experiences is a generational thing? Vanilla to Luclin, the BB port was common and well known. I don't recall the Lesser Fay druid port and, in the era I played, such a port location sounds superfluous and cruel.

    Even if it's over 2 minutes, it's essentially cardio with potentially varying degrees of weight lifting. An hour of cardio, depending on the type of exercise, is, roughly, 300-600ish calories? Edit: amusing chart for consideration:Mayo I really don't understand how rollerblading could...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    It's obvious you're a fan of the franchise/comics. I understand that. I enjoy Sci-Fi, but I am unable to stop my critical eye. You seem to be focusing on the trees when there's a large forest of blandness to choose from. It's a simple movie. I can appreciate it, but the cliche is that if...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)
