    Hell naw. All the cuts are ugly as fuck because it's my first time breaking down a primal and I was using a chef knife and a filleting knife out of a kitchen knife set rather than a proper boning and breaking pair. I didn't even get any proper chuck eye steaks because someone was too rough with...

    Just broke down a 24 pound chuck roll with nothing but standard kitchen knives. Wasn't too bad but I'll definitely be shelling out for a pair of victorinox before I break anything else down that size or larger.

    I admit that this is a legitimate increase in difficulty factor on top of being a pretty savage comeback burn, but unfortunately it's still lacking an 'achievement unlocked' to flex with.

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    FGO, super casual for a little over a week. Seems like a really solid candidate for free play. One of the worst gachas in the entire industry, and a game balanced around not needing a full lineup of ultra-rares to progress anyway.

    The real glaring telltale that it's fake is Deadpool being on there. Activision also discontinued multiplayer support for the Cybertron games a couple years ago.

    Bro what exactly are you imagining here, the surgeon straps on a dildo shaped camera and takes you to poundtown to inspect your intestines? A colonoscope is like a centimeter wide. Also with no family history and no relevant symptoms, I don't foresee a doctor ordering one in the first place.

    Anally violated? Fucking grow up dude. Also you're sedated for the procedure so there's no discomfort. The worst part of a colonoscopy is the nearly lethal dose of laxatives you chug throughout the day before the procedure.

    Obviously nobody with Hololive is a dude, and I'm pretty sure dudes using voice changers don't last very long in general before something goes wrong and they get exposed. Gura is cute but she leans so hard into the little girl persona that it's pretty creepy. Kiara is stuck somewhere between...

    It's not meant to be used directly for canning, rather it allows you to process things for canning much quicker. One good example that Lanx gave was stock, I did a batch of bone stock in my 16 qt stock pot and even after two days at a simmer I could have gotten more collagen out of the bones...

    I don't understand exactly how bankruptcy protection works but I read somewhere that their debt load is so large relative to their revenue that they may be forced to dissolve despite the chapter 11. I went ahead and bought an older model 6 quart for 80 bucks but it showed up in the middle of the...

    I get meat bundles from the butcher that are already frozen in relatively brickish shapes (or plates in the case of steaks) that make for easy stacking and organization. Are yall talking about doing your own processing?

    i only have a half-sized chest freezer atm so cardboard boxes work just fine for me but I can definitely see those reusable shopping bags working much better in a full sized chest. I might even switch to them for convenience sake.

    Dunno how you can really do better than just dating everything and then checking your inventory twice a year. Cardboard boxes work in a deep freezer too, keep things somewhat organized at very minimal loss of storage space.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It was a pretty insignificant part of the games prior to Mass Effect. Romancing Aribeth in HotU made the persuasion check against Mephistopheles easier, and iirc romancing Bastila in kotor opened up a set of dialogue choices that could not fail to turn her back to the light side. Then Mass...

    Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia. I recommend starting with Fate/Grand Order: First Order as it's the anime adaptation of the FGO prologue so you'll get some important background on Mash as well as the general premise of the FGO continuity. Babylonia is near the end of the...

    45 is for people with an average risk. An immediate relative with colon cancer makes you high risk and there are many other possible risk factors. I had precancerous polyps removed at the age of 40 with no family history.

    That doctor is a fucking incompetent quack, go get your ass cancer screening done as soon as possible if you haven't already. You should probably be rejoicing rather than freaking out tbh, or maybe do both. Colon cancer has such a bad reputation because it usually spreads before you even know...

    The Raft

    If you're playing with kids and they aren't the powergamer/look up a walkthrough type, you should get a LOT of hours out of this. Especially if they like building and spend a lot of time tinkering with the raft instead of just a utilitarian approach.
