    I don't remember it but my aunt made tomato aspic once and my Dad didn't stop talking about how horrible it was for years afterwards.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I don't know which is worse, the sous vide snobs in the cooking thread or hearing about everybody's infantile food hangups over here. I was all tuned up for a peanut butter cookie dough smash blizzard last night and the god damned Dairy Queen was closed for an employee Christmas party. The...

    Survivor

    It was a fun season. I was really rooting for Kelly to pull out that last win and make the final. She played a very good game from the bottom all the way and I think if she made it she had a great case for the win. Jeremy played well but he was always in the top dog alliance where Kelly was...

    Fargo

    Nice wrap-up episode. I feel like I was a little too sleepy when I was watching it so I think some of the subtle/philosophical stuff was probably wasted on me but maybe I will watch it again. Overall my favorite TV show of 2015.

    Netsmas Month Is Here! Post For Netsmas Cheer

    I really wondered if this thread would happen this year in the face of intense criticism from various haters. I commend you you for having the courage to press on.

    Homeland

    The bodyguard didn't necessarily know she had a gun, maybe she was not supposed to be carrying it since she was technically in custody and just managed to sneak it past him. FWIW, you need to suspend disbelief in almost every TV show/movie. It will be much more enjoyable if you don't try to...

    Homeland

    Yeah, really what made the show go downhill was them trying to continue Brody's story after it had played out. They should have had him die either as a hero or villain at the end of S1 and moved on. Show got good again as soon as he was gone.

    The appropriate response to this would have been to put a sign on him that says douche bag and make him stand on the table and let the rest of the office pelt him with his shitty sandwiches.

    Raspberry Pi

    Why is 4G unreliable? I mean anything you do that's wireless is going to be somewhat unreliable but is 4G less reliable than hanging some cheap little radio on your drone for some reason?

    Thieves Oil

    Chiropractic services are a mixture of amateur physical therapy, massage, and horseshit. The ratio depends on the chiropractor. Homeopathy is placebos. That's all. It doesn't "work" because you are basically paying for nothing. Anything can help if you believe it, but that doesn't mean it's...

    I think Spencer is in a good position to make F3 right now. I had thought that nobody would want to take him to the end but he has back stabbed so many close allies now that he is really counting on people putting their emotions aside and voting for game play. I think this jury (aside from...

    Nice! Haven't tried it yet but I will take Soygen's word for it and request that this be added to the 1st post. Does it get hot enough just from the melted butter? I suppose it would help if your egg yolks were room temperature but it seems like it would need more heat.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Yeah, he plays a strong but silent badass very well. I can see him as Clint Eastwood no problem (and Stephen King has admitted that Roland is basically his version of a "man with no name" Clint Eastwood character.) The only real complication I see is that race plays a significant part in his...

    Thieves Oil

    It seems like people are either critical thinkers or they aren't. The most frustrating are people who are skeptical of anything that sounds scientific but buy into anything that sounds "natural". I have a cousin that posts shit weekly on facebook from naturalnews.com and if I try to refute it...

    Half my neighbors are trying to sell this shit lately. It takes all my self control to keep from screaming "IDIOT" at them for simultaneously falling for essential oils and multi-level marketing scams.

    Got a recipe? I just used the powdered stuff after attempting to make it from scratch once and failing miserably. The powdered stuff is actually pretty good though.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Stringer Bell as Roland? That's not exactly how I pictured him, but it could work. Him being black might change his relationship with Susannah in the earlier books since she won't be able to call him honkey all the time. I think this movie has zero chance of being very good, but it seems...

    I would be pissed if Abi won, but at this point I am rooting for her to make the finale, just for the epic meltdown she will undoubtedly have in FTC.

    I have the exact opposite experience with going to the Comcast office. I went in there multiple times and told them that my price was too high and they gave me a better deal without even having to threaten to cancel. I think your local dude is just an asshole and hopefully you pushed him a...

    Fargo

    The UFO thing was pretty wacky. I loved Peggy going "It's just a flying saucer Ed, we need to go." Aside from that WTF moment, the shootout was very satisfying and Mike Milligan just saying "Okay then" and leaving was a perfect ending. Calling it now, Danson is not dead.

    No way Keith wins. He doesn't even play the game except for in challenges. This week he voted for Tasha all by himself. The week before he asked Spencer who to vote for in the middle of tribal. You can't give 1 million dollars to a guy who doesn't even know what's going on most of the time...

    If Tasha has any brains she will go with the girls alliance and Spencer and jeremy are screwed. Nobody wants to be sitting next to either of them at the final and Kimmie, Keith, and abbi aren't going to win. If I was in Tasha's spot I would backstab jeremy and Spencer as fast as I could and then...

    I don't think Amazon would be pursuing this for novelty purposes. I'm betting that once the R&D is finished they're thinking it's going to be a lot cheaper than a teamster in a truck or they wouldn't be bothering with it.

    People forget that Kaepernick also threw for 300 yards in the superbowl against a good Baltimore defense. He was never particularly accurate, but he was much better than what we have seen the last two seasons.

    I think they made a mistake not getting Joe out when they had a chance. Also, I'm not a fan of Spencer's move. I know he felt like he was on the outs but Stephen, Jeremy, and Tasha were still his strongest alliance and now he's got nobody. On the other hand, Jeremy blowing an idol to save...

    I eat McNuggets like 2-3 times a year but they aren't that bad (aren't that good either). I think that all fast food places should be required to have buffalo sauce available if they want to sell chicken strips/nuggets. It's outrageous how many places don't have it (including McDonald's I think?).

    I wasn't in that bad of a neighborhood I don't think. I was at I-17 and Dunlap near the metro center mall.

    I don't think you can blame Tomsula for this mess. Most teams aren't going to win a lot if they lose half their roster in the off season and their quarterback forgets how to play football. What I want to know though is what happened to the 49ers run defense this week. Two weeks ago they...

    You can play solitaire on Windows 10. I think you just have to D/L it from the app store. It's not exactly the same as Win7 Solitaire but it's okay.
