More and more I find myself using the text-to-speech. It works surprisingly well and even when it doesn't I just send the text message anyways because it is usually hilarious.

Could not figure out a good way to keep chilled and serve 5 pony kegs of beer over our 4th of July camping trip. 90+F during the day and usually 65F-70F at night. This was the solution I came up with. Just throw the whole damn kegarator onto a trailer. Pre-chilled it and the beer to...

Yeah, as long as I have a good vacuum seal my stuff never floats. Even using the ziplock-displacement method I can usually get the small amount of trapped air high enough in the bag where the meat stays completely submerged. I haven't done much bone-in stuff yet, not sure if that makes a...

129F should definitely be pinker than that, have you double-checked your bath temp with a calibrated thermometer? Maybe your sous-vide cooker is off... Temp the meat too when you take it out, if your bath is properly set the meat should not climb above the set temp.

I think you need to enjoy it in context. Compared to what the West Coast IPA (thanks a lot to PTE) has evolved into, yes, it is probably 'underwhelming.' But knowing the history of that beer and understanding is probably is more comparable to an APA, in that context it is highly enjoyable. I...

Had some family come to town with a supply of Pliny The Elder and Blind Pig. Many sexual favors were offered by my friends in exchange for bottles in my Facebook taunt/brag post, but all from dudes unfortunately. I really want to see how close the PTE homebrew recipe is to the real thing but...

Well like I said, I primarily do it because it makes clean-up a breeze. Especially on something like a hitachi magic wand where the surface is kind of rough with grooves that can easily build up gross gunk. Plus I don't want to buy 2 hitachi's and the various attachments and then try to keep...

That is all fine and good and a nice practice, but sometimes in the heat of the moment things don't go according to plan. If you always practice safe sex-toy-sex you can improvise without calling a time-out.

There is a break-even sales number for every labor hour, and that number is probably surprisingly high to a lot of people. I don't know Corndog's specifics, but for my pizza restaurant for every hour of labor I use I need to bring in $71 in sales to cover the cost of that labor hour. So when I'm...

I buy cheap expired condoms in bulk to use on sex toys all the time. In addition to the prevention of cross-contamination when switching between holes, it can make for easy clean-up as well.

I thought the advice would translate to lamb but I admit my experience with it is limited. Let us know how the side by side ends up!

Might consider skipping the butter, at least until the sear.

Giants can't catch a break on the injury front. Started the season very short handed and they keep piling on the DL stints. Lincecum looks to be the latest victim after putting together his most solid start since his Cy Young era. Aoki going down hurts a lot too, that guy was one of the best...

Is it just me, or are the umpires getting more and more out of control? Umpire Loses His Cool, Charges Mound to Confront Cubs Jon Lester | Bleacher Report

Side note, no rest is needed with sous-vide steak.

My experience has been just the opposite actually. Steaks look more pink/rare than what their cook temp suggested they should be. My mom only like medium-well to well done and even in the 150 range her steak still had pink in it which she didn't like. I thought the flavor and texture matched a...

Anyways... back to my sour adventures, I found acherry sour in cans from Black Market Brewing.The very few reviews I read were mixed but I thought that might have just been a presentation issue. Since it came in cans and was very reasonably priced I wondered if the sour-snobs would poopoo it...

Vanilla Ice Cream + Orange Juice + Immersion Mixer = winning. (I'm still figuring out how to sous-vide that shit, but when I get it right I'll let you know)

Oh man, I golf WAY better with a few IPAs in me, or do I just think I golf better... either way, it works for me.

Group drunk bike brewery crawls are the best.

For what it is worth the pill, when used perfectly, is slightly more effective than female sterilization (tubal ligation). Should give you an idea on how low the chances of perfect pill usage resulting in a pregnancy actually are.

IPAs are the best river beer!

GV won't let me port my current cell number over. Also doesn't have GV numbers available in my area code which isn't that big of deal, I don't know who actually pays extra for long distance these days, but is slightly confusing to my local friends. Also I have so much shit linked to my current...

If we are just talking the alcoholic factor, for just the alcohol content a $9.99 six-pack of 12oz bottles/cans of 7.0% ABV IPA is cheaper than a $5.99 six-pack of 16oz tallboys of 4.6% ABV Rainier.

Yeah, if a chick gets pregnant while on the pill the odds are vastly more in favor of her fucking up in taking it rather than the pill actually failing. *edit: But I should add if your chick does get pregnant while on the pill whether she used is perfectly/appropriately or not is kind of a moot...

Trust me, when we started letting our kid "cry it out" it was not for mine our my wife's benefit. My wife would have much rather coddled our daughter and I would have much rather let her, rather than listen to her stress about it. But you know what, once we started my daughter had a much...

Now the question is will the debut new material or continuing playing the same set they've been touring with since 2006? Details:

I don't have any experience with them personally but you should shop around. Zillow also has some listings and ratings for banks/rates, quite a few with great rates and low-to-zero fees but again, no experience whatsoever with their customer service. Somewhere like FatWallet's finance section or...

Draw for me is the hopefully seamless transitioning between TMO, Sprint, and WiFi calling. But yeah, I don't use a whole lot of data.

So not only are there mysterious bright spots on Ceres, but now there is a 3 mile tallpyramidmountain? [Insert Ancient-Aliens-dude meme here]

The 'sold out' thing can work but be careful not to go overboard with it, otherwise you might put off the perception that you're constantly out-of-stock of stuff and people head to a competitor instead.

Obviously thickness of what your cooking and what not will have an affect on the needed time, but the beauty of the sous-vide is that you aren't going to overcook it by going longer than needed. For steaks I generally go for 1 hour out of the fridge, 2 hours out of the freezer. It might all...

Even though I have a temp-controller-and-crock-pot setup I still do the the redneck cooler version most of the time, mainly because I use a cooler as a mash tun for brewing beer so it is usually out and handy. It helps that my tap water comes out hot enough for most sous-vide applications so no...

Yup, at least if you want to go legit it is, and they just re-upped their deal so it will be that way for a while.

So the final round of the US Open was on the TV so I was semi-watching it. It fucking rustles my jimmies that every time anyone hits any shot some asshat in the gallery has to yell "GET IN THE HOLE!"

Well I don't see why sous-vide meat would have any different shelf life than if "normally" prepared. My general rule of thumb on leftovers is 4 days in the fridge, might be short for some items but keeps me well away from any danger zone plus keeps the leftovers from piling up (okay, that last...

I usually do 2 hours on a frozen steak and it is always perfect. 1 hour on fridge-temp steaks. Obviously no harm in going longer.

Yeah, babies need to learn to self-soothe and part of doing that is letting them cry it out sometimes. 6 months seems like a great starting point for that, by that time they should have established pretty good bonds with the parents and are beyond the point of needing constant comfort and assurance.

For my business, my bank spends $0.49 to mail me a notice saying that one of the daily deposits my managers prepared is off by less than $0.49. This probably happens 4 times a month and 3 out of those 4 times it is off by $0.01. Again, this is a double rustle for me. First is with my managers...

Yeah, it is kind of tough to say for sure what setup would work for you w/o seeing what you ride, but I'd say if you only have 1 bike you should probably make it as versatile as possible and go with the 2x10/11 just in case you ever find yourself needing to use in some sort of race or going for...
