    NBA 2022-23 Season Thread - Wembanyama Tank-A-Thon Is On!

    This was never in doubt, thankfully. I guess USC had another freshman cardiac attack last year? If it were the 80s we'd all be assuming cocaine. I think all these young athletes are over worked and from a younger age, pushing harder, working out more, probably more supplements and unofficial...

    NBA 2022-23 Season Thread - Wembanyama Tank-A-Thon Is On!

    I love how the options in the programming of NPCs is either shut down all discussion of possible COVID vaccines, or discuss it with so much sarcasm and hyperbole they'll pull a muscle rolling their eyes. There's a sane, healthy middleground where people wonder what happened and if it could have...

    NBA 2022-23 Season Thread - Wembanyama Tank-A-Thon Is On!

    Can't talk about what you know people are thinking. Can't talk about Hamlin's issues. Lots of talk of not being allowed to talk about things. Very normal and healthy behavior. Meanwhile forum doctors will give theories about him maybe having a genetic heart issue with far less evidence than the...

    This is often the case. Never had a toaster oven that did everything well like the all coaim. Current convection air fryer oven sucks at air fry and sucks at making toast. It's fine for baking though, at least.

    Strain it and save it in the fridge in mason jars? Unless you're just never ever going to fry anything again. And generally frying is far trickier than people think, so well done on the attempt. Have done corn dogs a few times and they've never been perfect. Always breaking open or batter...

    Now the all Hispanic staff with one kid that sorts speaks English to do the drive through can't manage to consistently roll a burrito cylindrical and instead I keep getting square, flat burritos. How times have changed.

    Well isn't Taco Bell beef half oats? Almost vegetarian! They had a similar beefy bean and rice burrito that cost quite a bit more than just adding and building your own with potato. It's weird how add ons is one of the only thing cheapish at taco bell. Problem is several good taco trucks that...

    Cheesy bean and rice, add potato, add beef. It's one of the few cheapish options that is usually edible and still pretty filling.

    I went like half a season barely understanding all the cards and trading and equipment with boosts and upgradef badges or whatever they were. Once I did start to play with all that I sorta lost interest. I just want to play, not upgrade my player like an rpg. Do people ever like all that stuff...

    MLB The Show was good enough I was terrible at hitting, which felt realistic! Still had a lot of bloat that I got annoyed with. NBA2K are shit. I've still gotten a few on the cheap before that gen got unsupported, but forcing shitty story stuff and the public neighborhood shit and forcing...

    I've often been unhappy with burgers prepared by others at cookouts and only moderately happy when I did them myself. So a few years back I set out to improve my process. Keeping in mind I have a decent talent for cooking but still prefer to balance out cheap and easy. I buy loose ground beef...

    She had annoying moments, but they were in character for a teenage girl trying to figure shit out. Her scenes with Yen figuring out magic and warming up to one another were really good in the books despite Ciri being a brat at times. In the show they're both sorta terrible characters with very...

    It was a huge trendy item with moms that were shit cooks. Very over hyped item by people who will spend twice the time making something they couldore easily make in a dutch oven or just regular stock pot. That said, if you're actually wanting specific pressure cooker functions it's handy, I...

    Any of you who actually follow basketball have opinions on that Wembanyama. Just seen some highlights, but saying best prospect since Lebron and could be another KD. Hype or is that for real?

    Only time I've liked Tabasco is on hash browns and eggs, or in clam chowder. Or with MREs out of desperation. Tapatio is my favorite basic cheap Mexican hot sauce. Black label Valentine is good too. I won't go to a restaurant with that Cholula shit on the table. Crystal or franks is gross. That...

    Lot of bad TikTok videos of people folding quesadillas like that. Seems good until they're either grilling cold stuff or over saucing and the compression shooting sauce everywhere. It's clever, but mostly seemed a gimmick that doesn't replace just doing crunch wrap style.

    That sounds awesome. Googled and the restaurants were named after a different Popeye but the later paid for rights to use Popeye's the sailor. Weird but cool history. On nostalgia, nobody can convince me the best burger ever wasn't western bacon cheeseburgers on the way home from Oakland A's...

    I think there is one in town now so thought to try it. Keeping in mind I'm generally sick of eating out and usually only do it under duress. Which sucks, grew up so poor fast food was a special treat, but it's mostly expensive shit now (after putting all the mom and pops out of business) and...

    At least as good as a McDonald's burger is a weird comparison. An individual shop doing extra work you know is out of the ordinary doesn't make the chain good overall or in general. I'll tolerate Subway when it's offered, but never choose to go there or make the suggestion. Tastes like Subway...

    Looked it up and closest Quiznos is in a neighboring state and the Google map entry specifically notes it's LGBBQ friendly. What the fuck, I just wanted a toasted sandwich. To be fair, Ted warned us all. Eat the gay sandwich, bigot! Looks like they're uniquely tagging themselves as LGBBQ...

    They all closed near me with the bankruptcy and haven't seen one for a few years (but don't travel very far). Figured they all closed one way or another. Wonder if there are any good ones left. Going out of state later this year, might try to find one instead of those diversity losers at...

    I hadn't gone to Quiznos for years despite really liking them, so I feel personally responsible for their closing. When I was in the Army there were only a few places that delivered to base because it was a ways out of town and Quiznos was one of them. Used to get the Monterey Chicken I think...

    Thoughts on Firehouse Subs? Know several by people middle aged women who can't cook for their single child families who love and talk about Firehouse Subs obessively. Seemed average to me. Chili was bad, just tasted like underseasoned stewed tomatoes. I got the spicy Cajun chicken and it...

    This shit is just bad. The books were often about subtext and what was not being said and action informing meaning and pushing the story forward. Just finished S3E3 and the whole time I was thinking "this shit has to be written by a woman." It's like a weird play where the characters just...

    I listened to the first 5 audiobooks in the past month or so. They're really pretty good. Made me understand some shit from the show better, at least. The problem is the books are way better than the show and thinking back, the first two seasons seem even worse now and annoying convoluted. And...

    Carbon buildup will come off black. A good, properly seasoned cast iron will have a patina/seasoning and should wipe out fairly clean, just wiping out residual oil or butter or food bits. People will argue it, but in my experience a cast iron wok is best at high temps which often burns off the...

    Maybe belongs in the rustles thread, but is it pulled pork if you bake a pork tenderloin in the Traeger (managing little to no smokiness), and say the tenderloin is best because it's so lean it doesn't have all the fat and greasiness of other cuts, and then blend it up, and add no sauce so it's...
