    You can brine it in the same pot you fry it in, but I use a 5 gallon bucket the same as Chaos. If you're going to get a pot to fry in, spend a few extra bucks and get an 8 gallon pot so you can put 5-6 gallons of oil in there and still have lots of head room so you don't have to worry about it...

    Black Friday 2017

    I was hoping for a deal on the Galaxy S8+ but it seems like there's basically jack shit unless you're willing to switch carriers which isn't an option for me. Verizon will give me $300 off if I increase my bill by $30 a month and switch to unlimited (fuck you) and Samsung will give me some...

    Deep fried the turkey for the second year in a row. Aside from paying $60 for 5 gallons of oil, that is the only way to cook a turkey.

    I'm assuming this is an attached garage? Is it actually heated? Or just getting some ambient heat from the house? If it's not actually heated, you're probably not going to get a lot of bang for your buck with insulation because there's just not that much heat to hold in in the first place...

    The price has actually gotten reasonable on them now. Last time I looked they were like $14 for a 5oz bag but they're not much different than the gas station now. Might have to order some.

    That is the obviously correct move. I wish someone would explain it to the stores around here.

    I had a bag of those over the weekend. They are solid, but a pale shadow of the green chile flavor which every store in my area resolutely refuses to carry. Most places have the original and hot and spicy. A couple have the chorizo and lime (which suck) and nobody has green chile.

    Yeah, another hot chick down. I think people like Ryan and Lauren really need to start getting some of the big challenge threat guys out asap or they're not going to be in control for long.

    I am sad about the hot girls. I like Ben. I want to like Ryan but it feels like both him and the producers are trying to make a copy of Cochrane.

    I don't think I would ever do this, at least not at that price tag, but it would be a fun experience if someone else was buying. Did you feel like you got a lot of food at least? I would be furious if I spent that kind of cash on a meal and didn't leave absolutely stuffed. What were the...

    It's biannual lets screw up clocks day.

    I spent 3 years in AZ and this is totally not true. Living in a state where you want the day to end as early as possible so you can go outside without dying isn't a good tradeoff for not having to change your clock twice a year.

    Not to defend TWC, but why are you using a debit card and not a credit card for online autopayments? That's just a bad idea for multiple reasons.

    This fuckin guy. All I want is to hear him talk in my earbuds and he won't fucking let me. I've even paid him for it and he resolutely refuses to put out content. I don't see how he can make a living putting out 6-12 hours of audio a year. Lots of podcasters do that in a week and they don't...

    Injuries on the 49ers are just unreal. If we don't beat the Giants next week we could be looking at 0-16 for real. Nice to see Reuben Foster make it through a full game. He is starting to look like he's made of glass but I hope that's not the case because he's exciting to watch. Pretty good...

    Oh fuck off with this whinefest. I'm sure there are exceptions, but everyone I have talked to that is not watching the games because of the anthem protests never watched anyway. NFL ratings are down 5% compared to last year, but that's not as much as prime time TV is down. There's just a lot...

    He lives in Kansas City now which is a surprisingly high-crime city but I agree with you. People that steal shit from homes don't pick locks or force deadbolts. They crawl through the window or find a door that isn't locked and they definitely don't read the name-brand on the lock and make...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Plus you have the fact that Bill Belichick has been around him for 2.5 years and wanted to make him their next QB. Bill hasn't seen him in many games, but he's watched him in practice a shitload and that's a pretty strong recommendation if the rumors are true.

    If a phone has decent battery life these days, fast charging isn't much of an issue because you're only going to need to charge it while you sleep and wireless charging is plenty fast enough for that. I like the idea of being able to charge my phone for 15 minutes in a pinch and get a couple...

    If you brine it and then get a good sear on it it's pretty good, especially with some lemon-pepper seasoning. I don't mind it in stir-fry either. It's definitely easier to make thighs and drumsticks taste good though.

    The reason I want wireless charging is because the first thing to go bad on every phone I've had where I didn't break the screen is the USB port and that's just from using it to charge. I work outdoors and I beat the shit out of my phones. My Nexus 6P looks like a banana from being bent in my...

    Oh that's right, only sulking teenagers listen to headphones. I always forget that. You're going to just have to accept the idea that that you buy an iphone every year because they have great marketing and it makes you feel superior to use them. It's totally normal, that is the case with...

    So I'm thinking about getting an Essential phone. Essential Phone is the best deal in smartphones thanks to camera updates Anyone have one? Aside from the lack of a headphone jack, there doesn't seem to be much downside since they fixed the camera and it's pretty appealing at $499.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    If all that is true then I think the Niners got a great deal. If Belichick thought he was going to be the future then it's easily worth a 2nd rounder to find out what he can do. It's a shitty situation throwing him out there with half the starters on an already mediocre o-line injured though.

    I don't know. Somebody said that a couple pages back in this thread and I did not verify it. It's a thing with quarterbacks, if somebody is a legit franchise quarterback, you would be smart to trade your entire draft for him. If you do and you're wrong though, people will mock you for years as...

    I would definitely like to know what Belichick was thinking. Why he didn't trade him in the off-season, and why he did it for less compensation mid-season. Maybe he figured if Brady gets hurt in the first half of the season Garappolo could keep them in it until he got back but if he gets hurt...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    It's not like you can get a proven quarterback for a 2nd round pick. They have half a season to find out if he's a legit option or if they need to use their first rounder on a different unproven quarterback or go after Cousins in the off season. I am not saying it's the trade of the century...
