I'm agreeing with Khane way too much today, but yeah I don't know why you would need a set of knives. If you have a chef's knife and a paring knife, that's pretty much all you need. I'm partial to Hebrew National myself.

My brother had a Jetta and it was a POS too.

I didn't even know lurkingdirk was a communist!

Superbowl food anyone? I'm making wings for sure. I think I'm going to take a shot at falafel as well. Maybe homemade corn dogs too. If you've never breaded and fried your own corn dogs you don't know what a corn dog is.

Just tried it on the Home Hub and it was pretty damn sweet. Got 6 timers going at once, with names for each one, and you could see them all counting down, without having any idea how to do it beforehand. Two thumbs up.

I should do the timer thing I guess. I still use the one on my microwave like I'm a goddamn senior citizen.

I have a google home hub and I find that the times I want to talk to it are pretty much non-existent. I do like having it in the kitchen to watch YouTube videos while I cook or wash dishes, but even for that I don't use the voice interface. I just queue up a few videos on my phone and cast them.

Man, between Lev Bell and this, something is really fucked up in Pittsburg. I would love to see a receiver like AB in San Francisco, but he's really making himself look like a cancer right now. I guess he figures that's his only way out of the Steelers, but it makes me very afraid to have him...

I have a conspiracy theory that insurance companies are always happy to replace your roof because then they will raise your rates because you had a claim and then make you pay for that roof several times over the next few years. I have absolutely nothing to back this up, but it does seem like...

This matches my experience. I went from a crappy electric range to a medium-cheap gas range and I feel like I could get my pans to searing temp and boil water considerably faster with the electric than I can now with the gas. My Mom has a better gas range and it has more powerful burners than...

The Rachael Ray one was pretty good. She's always nice but you get the impression that if she had to fight naked like Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises she would have killed those two Russians with the linoleum knives and been ready for her closeup 20 minutes later.

I did the cabbage soup diet years ago and even though I thought it tasted great on day 1 by the end of a week of eating multiple times a day I would have rather put a bullet through my head than lived on that shit for another week. If you kept it up for 4 months you're a better man than me.

Kenji has some pretty awesome pressure cooker recipes. Maybe not all budget friendly but the ones I've had were very good. Pressure Cooker Recipes I've been pretty disappointed with the pot roast I've done in the pressure cooker. I think the slow cooker does a much better job albeit in a...

Probably not going to find a part for that thing. You can buy pretty nice chairs on amazon for under $200 though, just read the reviews.

I don't see this conformist thing in science at all. Nothing is more prestigious as a scientist than proving that the current thinking is wrong. Even if it were true though, we're not talking about bending with the breeze here. Radiocarbon dating is not a matter of opinion, it's an objective...

Didn't buy it, got it as a gift, but it's pretty badass.

You don't need to use bottled water, just get a bottle of dechlorinator and use tap. The dechlorinator isn't expensive at all. Something like this will last you a long time.

I don't know when I've seen a left tackle going backwards at that rate of speed.

We've bought a lot of appliances in the last few years and they have been universally junk. I'm actually taking my Mom's 3 year old Whirlpool refrigerator to the shop tomorrow. We bought a GE set with a double oven, microwave, and dishwasher 5 years ago when we remodeled her kitchen and the...

An oral history of the 49ers-Saints epic January 2012... Some nice nostalgia for 49ers fans. Probably not so much for Saints fans. Check out Joe Staley running like a deer and taking out the safety.

Yeah, pre-superbowl doesn't count. The league was a joke back then.

All I'm saying is, every time there's a hot young quarterback, people start talking like it's a foregone conclusion that he's going to play in multiple Superbowls during the course of his career, but they only give out 1 Lombardi trophy a year and 32 teams are spending hundreds of millions of...

Assuming that this is possible, which isn't obvious to me at all, what would their motivation be for doing this?

I remember saying that about Kaepernick after the 2013 super bowl. Those SB appearances are hard to come by, unless you're the Pats.

And that is different technology than what Chuk and Kiroy are saying is wrong in the case of other buildings?

What would lead you to believe that the dating for Gobekli Tepe is correct and all of the other ones are wrong?

Made a brisket in the Yoder yesterday and while it wasn't a complete failure, it could have been a lot fucking better. The thick part was great, like butter, but there was considerably too much bark on it and the thin parts were practically turned to charcoal. It was in there for 18 hours at...

If they're good knives you really only need to sharpen them once a year or so unless you're doing something rough with them and in that case it might be worth $5 a knife to have them professionally sharpened. That said, I like this tutorial. I bought a water stone because of it and one of...

Dispute what? Have you made any kind of assertion other than "this is impossible" even though it clearly isn't since it was done by many people all over the world?

I don't know how it was built. I'm just saying you guys are indulging in the "I don't know how to do it so it must be impossible" fallacy. It's okay to say "I don't know how this was done" without immediately jumping to a bunch of conclusions that you just pulled out of your ass with...

You're becoming a parody of yourself.

I love those SharkBite fittings so much. They're too expensive to plumb your whole house with, but if it's just a quick repair, you better believe I buy those things.

According to who? You? If you're an emperor and you have a few thousand people who have to do what you say then maybe it is a feasible amount of time. Like I said, no one does manual labor anymore so we forget how much a bunch of guys with hand tools can accomplish. Marching Roman Legions...

The fact that some youtube guys don't want to spend a week cutting a stone just to prove that they can doesn't mean that if you have a couple hundred or even a couple thousand people working on it all day every day that they wouldn't be making a lot of progress even if it does take two guys a...

Of course you can. There's been videos posted already here about drilling in hard rock with sand and a bow drill. Once you have a round hole it's just a matter of filing out the corners also with sand. It would take a while, but it's only impossible because you fold your arms and keep saying...

I like to dip my curly fries in a combination of arby's sauce and horsey sauce.

Whatever you do, don't pay $75 for that stupid 3 pin connector. If you can't find a mating one on amazon, just cut it off and buy something similar. They are plentiful and dirt cheap.

^^ This is all good advice. I would just add, don't believe anything that anyone at PetSmart or one of it's clones tells you about fish and until you know the guy at the Local Fish Store, don't believe anything he tells you either. Do your own research online. There is a shitload of good info...

I think the terribleness of season 2 has gotten exaggerated. Was it disappointing compared to S1? Yes. Was it like season 8 of Dexter bad? Not even close.
