I try to watch opening weekend, but it's always been hit or miss. I'll start watching a few regular season games a week, but most of them just aren't compelling enough to keep my attention. Try to watch the Christmas games because that was always a tradition. Hadn't bothered watching the All...

Nah. It's easy to just grumble that everything sucks in every way. Even easy to declare anyone who doesn't like the direction of something as just being an out of date luddite. I'm only doing either of those things in some of your heads. You're the one that keeps arguing points I'm not making...

No no don't go!!!! Keep talking to me... Please!!!! Like what is someone supposed to say when some bitch on the Internet is threatening to ignore them and announcing it publicly like anyone should give a shit? Ur angry!!!!!111one.... Good one, spaz.

It's like a script. Any criticism and just declare someone has rose colored glasses for the 90s and cite the worst aspects of one of the most exciting eras of a sport. Brilliant. The 90s were good because the game was evolving past slow ball into the modern age. It was a good balance overall...

The biggest faggot move ever. Call someone a retard and then announce to a thread of strangers you're going to put them on ignore! Oh no, your social pressure is really getting to me. Please please faggot on the Internet don't say mean things or threaten to ignore me, I'll confirm better to...

So your counter my thinking something is shit and getting shittier is to cite limited examples from the past you believe were shit? When someone says the food at a restaurant is bad and getting worse, do you say, oh yeah, but 30 years ago I got food poisoning here! Like, just to argue for no...

Not generally, of course. That Clark chick individually is fun to watch, though. It hurts my sexist soul to admit it, but it's actual basketball she's playing and at a high level. Pity she's not hot.

Why not respond to any actual thing I write? I didn't talk about team cohesion not mattering for competition, and the Dream Team losing a scrimmage isn't a relevant point. Do you not think their scrimmages with themselves were also somehow low quality basketball because they hadn't played...

Yeah, the hour to get room temp has never worked for us. Always too cold still. We'll do a couple hours at room temp or some time in the oven proof setting.

Part of the problem is the players have such fuck you money it's turned into a fuck you to the fans and the sport that made them the money. Sure, you always had older, established players with enough money they'd show up more as an appearance than a game. But you also had younger players withore...

Feel free to actually read my post instead of strawmanning harder than the black donger you shove up your ass to enjoy basketball. I didn't say anything about her not being well known or popular or great. I very literally said she's transformational and yet the talking weaves that dominate the...

The All Star games haven't always been players standing around watching like shitty layup lines or chucking up shitty shits for laughs. There were always rivalries and young players trying to make a name for themselves. And some semblance of professional pride. No, they weren't playing 100% and...

Ehhhh, any white athlete playing basketball is always going to be treated with the ever present "yeah, but..." That white chick Kaitlin Clarke is very obviously transformational in women's college basketball and the talking heads/weaves constantly disparage her or "yeah, but" her success. So...

Record points! Most talented NBA players ever!

Anyone watching the All Star game!? It might be worse than the Pro Bowl at this point. It's almost entertaining watching these lazy fucks playing no D, chucking up 3s or uncontested layups. There at least used to be some semblance of rivalry or pride or chips on shoulders. Used to be some...

Looks good. What was your method? Lots of disagreement on stone/steel placement and temps and such.

It's one of the reasons I got an upgraded hood fan and oven I can turn up to 11 with a pizza steel. Of course haven't tried any of them yet, but eventually we'll see if my efforts paid off because pizza in the convection oven used to set off smoke alarms and still not be very good. Air fried...

Some thoughts on griddling. Electric cook tops suck, but yes manageable with babysitting and flipping in rotations. Electric countertop griddles also suck. Even electric "commercial" griddle/grills suck. A lot of research and experience and nope, don't bother imo if the goal is high heat meat...

Took two pairs of jeans to the UPS store for an Amazon return. Used the kiosk. Said I had to go to the counter because the items couldn't be returned in the plastic bags because they could be damaged. Had to be packed in a container. No proble, we always have boxes at home, so went home and...

It's in glass bottles locally,which I like because they get and stay very cold. 5 bucks for four of them and they're not as big as a 20oz, but delicious and as mentioned one feels like enough vs a liter of mountain dew that I'll just keep drinking and never feel satisfied.

There are some good non-shooter games included with Game Pass if you've got it. Left out bigger named games since they're easy to find and probably already heard of them. Frost Punk - top down rts builder (?) that can actually get difficult and have choices that matter. Gears of War Tactics -...

I've wondered what the benefit of the clay bakers are. I've seen a few at ethnic import style markets. Never sure if some great, secret cooking tool with tangible benefits or just some obsolete nonsense marketed to wypeepo. Similarly, I always thought these were funny but probably limited...

There's a $220 hand crank bread slicer that gets good reviews. But wtf. I guess the expression best thing since sliced bread is apt because good slicing methods are expensive and seem rare according to reviews.

If I were to start making more sandwich loaf bread in bulk to freeze, what would the best method of slicing it in a fast and even way? Those bagel guide holders? A cheap spin blade slicer? Just do it by hand and hope to get good enough? Gotta be some Amazon gadget.

I love that the recipe says "life is full of choices ..." We got free government cheese and stuff through the school for a short time, but she hated the "welfare queens" and people abusing food stamps. Would say we were poor, but not trash. She never took a cent of welfare or food stamps...

Hah yeah had some no label stuff. Just very poor up in the hills. Like no electricity and without generators and satellite dishes like some neighbors poor. We had the "government" cheese that wouldn't melt and peanut butter in the tin where it would crust around the edges of the opening so...

I never got stuff like that as a kid. Too poor for even the poor people stuff except top ramen. Was probably in my 30s before having any quick stuffings. In my late teens before having a pop tart or anything like it. 99% of that kind of thing I don't like. Some quick and easy stuff like stovetop...

Agree to disagree. I find stovetop stuffing so premium and well balanced it's the primary ingredient in my homemade from scratch holidays stuffing recipe.

What don't you like about it?

My girlfriend has come a long way in the kitchen. When we met she was buying canned mushrooms, turkey bacon, and was confused/impressed when we were at a store and she said we should get taco seasoning and I looked at the packet and told her I had all those spices already. Now, the other night...

Sorry to break it to you, but in person groups like that are shit unless it's close friends/colleagues who aren't just a bunch of morons who can't think beyond "I liked it, it was good" mentality. Usually not even very good when it's supposed to be an actual critical analysis type of group or...

That's good to know. I'm getting good at spottibg shitty Chinese and southeast Asia recipes, but haven't dipped my toe into Korean yet.

If course. There's an InstaPot recipe to ruin nearly everything I imagine!

Part of my problem is halfway through I'm like why didn't I just buff up some from a jar. I think I was just trying to learn real Alfredo to impress an ex at done point. Might give it a go again just to say I can. Same with risotto. Now we just do barley using broth with mushroom and I like it...

The ladies at my work are having a lunch hour discussion of this soon. Tempting....

Not directly. Have done some cheese soup and Mac with Velveeta for that reason. I do okay with regular cheese sauces, it's just Alfredo I'm never happy with.

Fo sho. Being knowledgeable of the world has led to me assuming everything is always kinda wrong even if I believe it and to adjust from there. It's like the best defense against propaganda is recognizing one isn't immune to it. On topic, speaking of admitting being wrong. I realized recently I...

Well if I knew.... It just always splits a little and is grainier than I prefer. Or too thick. Might just be I prefer it processed from a jar though. I'm not too proud to admit one of the only things I like at olive garden is the dipping side of Alfredo that seems a bit smoky.

My favorite is auto makers think we're too dumb to understand how anything in life works, so the button for outside or recirculated air is meaningless. You can't be trusted to pay attention to foggy windows, so outside air is forced in. Most settings it will periodically automatically switch to...

That's a weird article. Look beneath the surface and it's just saying women are neurotic and get frazzled and overwhelmed. Uhuh, welcome to earth. When a couple has kids the women are more pressed for time. Yeah, no shit. And then they report poor mental health. Uhuh, reporting your own mental...
