    Yeah, have looked at some, but the first step in a very expensive process is a upgraded vent system. Have a portable induction burner that I use for frying which works okay on the kitchen island. Would want a gas burner for high heat cooking under the vent fan, though, just isn't feasible as is...

    On my electric glass cooktop my big cast iron wok does okay. Has a wider flat bottom that heats well. Gets as hot as my vent fan and smoke alarms will allow, which is still not usually as hot as I would prefer. Different style of wok cooking than a lighter carbon steel, so have to time stuff...

    I agree, you're an idiot. Why are so many of your posts just lamenting how other people spend their time discussing something in a way you feel is unacceptable. Either the criticism of aspects of this show (or any other) are poorly conceived and can be easily argued against, if that's your...

    Special bags or just regular vacuum seal? Special prep or just leave them in the fridge? Trim the outside or just cook from the bag? I looked into turning a mini fridge into a dry, open aging system. But the part where you had to cut the outside off because it isn't safe to eat is a no-go with...

    Mad because I got fucked (edit: cucked, you'd think these fucking cuck tech fags programming autocorrect would recognize their own descriptors) by a TV show? With an lol? Mighty sensitive? Low quality bait or you're just a moron. I mean, what in the literal Indian fuck are you talking about.

    Care to offer a defense of the show or rebuttal of the criticism of weaknesses in the past few episodes, instead of just calling people triggered?

    Cyberpunk 2077

    The irony is Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't helped at all by still catering to last gen consoles, so if this new game is going to be "next-gen" then I have no choice but to get hyped! Next gen, coming soon!

    Nah, Sam gave her dad a horse in trade for her, they fucked, then she's just leaving him to stay with the wagon train. And he won't go because he values his people's land more than her which was the most realistic thing about it all. Highlight was for their melodramatic goodbye Sam dressed her...

    Yeah, literally had the scene where the old widower representing the "old" values smacks Yellow Bush for flirting with a man. With the heavy handed symbolism that the old values end in suffering and blowing your own brains out. That's the problem with the show, though. They're treating the...

    Faith Hill's character was 17 when pregnant with the girl, who is 18. How did that casting go? Nah, it's okay you're 55, Faith, the character is only 35, but women looked hella beat up back then.

    I'm always a critical asshole, obviously. But even my girlfriend is getting a bit meh on this. She said it's not quite as bad as The Walking Dead where she just started rooting for the zombies, but she's getting there. Just silly stuff like the scene where the cowboy jokes he shouldn't have...

    Agreed. Some games I don't mind the free preview aspect to see if I want to buy. Some games like I imagine Civ VI is probably pointless without a full version.

    Civ VI would be nice, but is it worth playing if it's just the base game, though?

    The perfect Superbowl product! Validates a team back in LA. Justifies the stadium. LA is a market that needs the infusion of excitement and merch sales, and they got that with winning in front of a hometown crowd with all the celebrities! Couldn't have gotten a better outcome for the bottom...

    Normalized from one visit to another would be nice, though. For instance, local taco truck that makes serrano salsa that is sometimes nearly tasteless, sometimes tastes spicy, sometimes burns. Have to carefully check it before your first real bite so you don't accidentally breathe in on a strong...

    She's a gypsy, not white. Gypsy was pretty low on the societal scale. That didn't seem too abnormal then hooking up. As long as she keeps wearing her gypsy jewelry so people know then he won't be lynched. Of course at some point I bet it becomes a plot point and they'll overplay the situation.

    It's not too overt. More trying to make a time that was the antithesis of SJW or feminism able to resonate with modern audiences. The contrast of what the time actually was compared to what story they want to tell is balancing on a very thin edge. For instance, my non-historian guess is a pants...

    Knowing nothing about tornados I could suspend disbelief enough to accept laying against the ground in a low point or against a hill could let the worst of the tornado go over you. But how'd the cook hitch up two horses and drive the chuckwagon away in the night without anyone noticing? That...

    If it's what you're looking for and know what you're getting most people seem to be happy with its actual performance. Can always get one, then trade or sell it later to upgrade when more series X are available.

    The reality they're bending and plot holes they're driving wagons through are starting to strain credibility. It's the tail end of western expansion, but they're making the story about pioneers blazing a trail. Literally. There were well established routes by 1883, but for the sake of the story...

    I loved the variety buffets offered, especially as a kid. Only time I got excited about salad due to all the fixings. Peas on salad with ranch is still one of my favorite salad bar things. Kinda funny buffets ensured their own demise by motivating people to eat to the point it became an...

    Xbox tells me I can shrink Mass Effect Legendary by removing 4k textures since my TV is only 1080. Sure, sounds good.

    Yeah, the mistake of KFC is if you actually want chicken. It's all pretty bad there. Better from local grocery store delis most of the time as Booze points out.

    Had to pick up KFC for family dinner. The breast was as small as thighs used to be. The deal that used to fill the bucket pretty well looked like a chip bag half full. Expensive as ever, of course. Why bother with this shit? We haven't gotten fast food outside of family dinners for months now...

    It had like three funny moments! Of which I can only remember "it's good to be black on the moon" which I can't remember if it was actually funny or just the only thing I remember. Very disappointing show, but maybe they learned a bunch and it's about to get good.

    Why is so much of what you post focused on a collective sense of support and validation. It's weird. Look back at even most of your posts in our very enlightening discussion. They often appeal to some sense of us vs them mentality that is irrelevant and dubious, but you reference as a means to...

    Exactly? You keep making up hyperbolic lies about things you claim I said about the entire game, then the entire series, when your first response was about the one scene in one DLC that was being discussed. We were discussing one thing, and you extrapolated that into some hyperbolic nonsense...

    My long Covid joke had nothing to do with people liking ME2.

It wasn't. It's...
