I'm sure when the Iraqi army invaded Kuwait they weren't going to hurt anyone.

I'm voting that that's an upgrade. I love me some mushrooms and that bacon smokehouse thing was just sickly sweet. Seems like a lot of people here are all in for anything where they dump a bunch of sugar on your burger.

I'm not saying fast food is the best thing you can eat, but that ^^^ is some hippy horseshit.

My uncle fucked with his brother in law once when the brother in law went to a movie. He got into his car (it's a small town and people don't lock their cars) and spliced into his headlight wire and ran it through a turn signal blinker and over to the horn so that anytime the headlights were on...

It's not identical because in the stock market you actually own part of a company that theoretically produces things and has assets and such. That's what I mean by fundamentals. Bitcoin only has any value because people like gambling on it. It's possible that a company can just cease to...

Sure, but if your money was changing value every 30 seconds and there was basically no one that would actually take it as payment the FDIC wouldn't do you a whole lot of good. It's either a currency or an investment. If it's a good investment, that means it's not a good currency, and vice...

When I was in high school I went to Washington DC for a 4-H trip during Bush 41's presidency and we did a bus tour of the monuments at night. When we passed the White House, the tour guide said "If you peek through the shrubs, you might just see some bushes!" When GW got elected the first...

When I say fundamentals, I mean that you are buying something of value. I don't give a fuck about the technology that's used to create bitcoin. That's NOT what you're investing in. You're investing in the currency itself, which is just plain bullshit. You guys are talking about it like...

Stuff looking brand new is a problem that will take care of itself fairly quickly.

At my old office one of my coworkers had a secret candy store like that. He would buy shit at costco and sell it for $.50 each and when enough money built up he would have a "profit sharing" lunch where he would buy pizza for the whole department. It was fucking awesome for years but then the...

Yes that's what I'm saying. It's a stupid, stupid investment with no fundamentals whatsoever, aside from daydreams about the future. That doesn't mean you can't make money at it, but the same is true of the roulette wheel at Circus Circus.

We need to revive Dave Attell's career. I saw him on a clip from the Joe Rogan Podcast the other day and that guy is so fucking funny.

Am I the only one that doesn't like the super sweet bun on the beef and cheddar at Arbys? I always hear people talking about how great they are but then whenever I actually get one I'm turned off by the sugary bun.

Same kind of rationalizations people made about Kaepernick. Plenty of Kaep's completed passes were to the running back 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage and then he wound up gaining 6 yards on 3rd and 13.

People keep saying this, but nobody actually wants to use it as a currency, and they would be fucking retarded to try. Will the technology possibly be useful in some capacity in the future? It could happen. Does that make it smart to invest in the current nonsense? Does that mean bitcoin has...

If something happened in the past, that definitely means that it's going to happen again. Investing in something that has absolutely no fundamentals and is 100% based on fear, greed, and irrational exuberance sounds awesome.

Unless you're in Montana where there are no local asians and nobody knows what the food is supposed to taste like. The only Asians in my home town are the guy that owns the Chinese restaurant, his wife, a couple cooks, and maybe a waiter, and then like 12 girls that were adopted as babies from...

I don't see the point of paying for a fancy one. I've had this one for a year now and it works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H76NIAS?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

I use stainless pots and saucepans. I just don't like the frying pans. I also have a teflon frying pan that I use for eggs and pretty much nothing else.

I can't believe you didn't enjoy getting to hear two literal rocket scientists debating space travel.

Bad ground is probably the most likely culprit. You could probably measure the voltage at the light to verify it. May not be that easy to locate the problem though.

Doesn't Mountain Dew already have orange juice in it? EDIT: Yes it does.

It's harder to sear in a non-stick pan because it's so thin it doesn't hold heat very well, and you're probably afraid of melting the teflon if you get it really hot. The obvious answer to all of this is cast iron. It's got the heat holding capacity of a big heavy pan and the non-stick...

And you will need to because everything sticks to that shit. I have a couple Calphalon pieces and they are great, but fuck stainless steel frying pans.

Do you guys actually have problems with crime/burglary in your neighborhood? Everyone I've known with a house alarm just has to deal with tons of false alarms and zero actual burglaries stopped. Sounds like a lot of expense and hassle for a very small chance of benefit to me.

I like to use arc on thicker stuff. I don't know if I have a good reason for that, but I just feel more confident with arc on heavy shit but maybe that's because I did that first. I also use arc for anything outdoors so I don't have to worry about the gas blowing away.

I don't know what happened to Foster this year but he's been invisible all season. Maybe he has been trying not to play as hard as he used to to avoid injury or something? Whatever it is, this isn't as big a blow as it would have been at the beginning of the season because he's just been...

I want to justify buying a tig welder. I've only used one once on aluminum and found it very challenging. Get even a little too much heat in that shit and you blow a hole the size of a quarter in it. Already have a mig and arc welder and I pretty much never weld on aluminum or stainless so...

Turkey is the worst meat hands down. I like it once a year on Thanksgiving but the most you can hope for is not dry. I don't mind experimenting with the turkey because in my book the dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and possibly the cranberry sauce are all more...

What pot and pans do you need? Personally I think buying sets of either pans or knives is the wrong approach because they always pad the sets with shit you don't need and personally I wouldn't buy the same brand of frying pan as I would sauce pan etc. I use Shun knives. I've had them 15 years...

I did Trust me, it's flat. Like I said, 35 lb bird. Each breast was the size of a regulation football.

Thanksgiving week and no cooking thread posts? Here's my turkey porn. Tom turkey that we raised from a chick and butchered on Sunday. Spatchcocked it and dry-brined in the refrigerator and threw it on the Yoder at 10 AM, 325 degrees. Turns out I should have thrown it on at 8:30. The...

Bleu cheese is great, but to reach true perfection, you need bacon and bleu cheese.

Yeah it won't happen because the contract they would have to offer to get him to sign would make him worthless as trade bait because no one would trade for him with that contract.

All the corny TV shit he did makes it easy to forget that he was a legit virtuoso with a guitar or banjo. Didn't expect to see this thread here, good work.

Translation: Expensive liquor is not about what it tastes like, it's all about signaling that you are rich and superior. It's proven every time someone challenges so-called experts to a blind taste test. Everyone buys the most expensive shit that they can comfortably afford and then pretends...

Or he could, you know, get a job like everyone else.

What makes you think gonorrhea semen is sweet, rich, and creamy, with just a hint of nutmeg?
