    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I bought one for maybe 40 bucks or so of Amazon with decent reviews. I've noticed that sometimes I'll need to press on the bag when vacuuming to assist the air out. I'll also sometimes double seal it just in case, but it's been pretty decent, especially for the price. I looked at that...

    Oh wow, go read Mr.Shivers and Company Man. If you do audible get the audio versions, both are wonderfully narrated. I just do a lot of audiobooks because I travel a bunch for work, and a beats listening to classic rock over and over. I think those are his two first novels, and they're...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Yeah, the wife had picked up some chicken wings that were 25% off last weekend, and my plan was to vacuum pack them and toss them in the freezer. Completely forgot they were in the fridge, when to pull them out and check them and oh God. We buy a lot of clearance meat when we find it, and...

    The Fishing Thread

    You can't go wrong with Jackson. I think they also used to have a purely sit on top kayak that I believe is a tandem call The Big tuna. I might be mistaken on if it's tandem though but I thought it was. I haven't looked at their lineup in a long time, but that might also be an option if you...

    The Fishing Thread

    Yeah Craigslist will typically net you some decent results depending upon your area, as long as you're not going to get robbed by some jogger. If you can find a used boat though I'd be all over that.

    The Fishing Thread

    You got a few options. I was going to suggest a Jackson Kilroy Tandem, but it looks like they don't make it any longer. It's a sit inside hybrid, but they're fast boats. I've got the singular one for the wife, but I fish out of it all the time. The other option you could do is a NuCanoe...

    Robert Jackson Bennett

    I haven't checked out his new books, but I got Mr.Shivers on audible not long after it came out, and I probably listen to it once a year when I'm traveling. Of all of his works it's definitely my favorite, but Company Man is really good too. I think he's actually a Texas if I'm not mistaken...

    The basketball scene is still pretty hilarious and awesome.

    Late Night with the Devil (2024)

    Yeah that's the plan. Not really a movie that needs the big screen experience. Definitely plan on watching it though. I know I've started this before but it seems that the movies I enjoy most right now are these lower budget independent flicks especially horror films. Sometimes they're hit...

    The Matrix (1999)

    I said both have similar themes, but they're different genres, one being a mystery detective noir, and the other a action packed Chinese cinema deal. Hell, Dark City verges on the side of sci-fi horror. The Matrix does not, even if the setting is horrific.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I thought about just getting a wacker packer and running it over the area to see if the worms will come up. Probably drive them nuts.

    The Matrix (1999)

    Shit I remember seeing that one in the theater. To me it was the same quality level as Strange Days, which I watched last week again. Two great films, and Vincent D'Onofrio was in both, I just remembered. He's a great actor and always helps to elevate a film even if it's B-,tier or whatever...

    The Matrix (1999)

    I remember going to see dark City in the theater back in high school on a double date. Everybody loved it, that's still a good movie despite the special effects maybe not standing up to scrutiny. It's a completely different movie though even if it's got similar things. But I think they're...

    The Matrix (1999)

    Well turning into a tranny ain't cheap. The highway chase was the best part of 2, especially the music. I saw all three in the theater, and I think we went to see the first one opening night, and went again the next week. Two is okay but the third one was a piece of shit, but there were some...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Saw a video a while ago of some hillbillies going out to their favorite worming spots in the woods doing this. They harvested them and sold them bait shops. Was actually pretty neat. Wife and I were doing stuff for the garden, and churned our compost pile. We've got a huge amount of...

    Life extension- let’s play EQ1 and keep socking into 2100

    Yeah the guy's a millionaire and has every supplement and availability to medical treatments under the sun. That's why it's both interesting and just screwed up. Seems like his whole point of living is just a prolong his life, even though he says I want to be able to take care of my family and...

    Life extension- let’s play EQ1 and keep socking into 2100

    Tucker interviewing him the other day. I've not finished listening to it, but it's both interesting and also fucked up. The vampiric part of taking plasma from his son but also giving his plasma to his dad is especially creepy.

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    That might be the DC. I know they republished it a few times under different names, but I thought that one had the cocoon scene. I could be completely wrong though. I'd actually paid to go to the theater and watch all three of the films director cut versions back to back, as long as you had...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    Is it the director's cut? Not that it would really matter, but those few minutes added really make even better. This might actually get me to go to a damn movie theater again.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Gotta have the new federal agents seem authentic by arguing over legendary dumb shit from the forum's past, that way they blend in. I just love the fact that @Ossoi is the voice of reason in this goofy debacle. The government must be hiring them young. Wait till they talk about Diablo 2...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    They're classics of science fiction and they should be read. As the series progresses though they get pretty out there, but you could read the first one and be happy. Hell get the damn audio version, I've got it, and the Simon Vance performance is really good, but he always does a good job if...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Go read the first book and then compare and contrast. You don't even need to read the rest of them. I read them all and I don't care for the last film very much, and I'll wait till streaming to watch the second. I also like the miniseries and the David Lynch version a lot because they were...

    I'll use one of my dutch ovens. Most braised items we make go in there, especially with a thick gravy.

    Thanks. Bet some ginger and some cilantro would be good with it. I'll have to order some so I can see what the flavor difference is. Sounds like a nice easy one pot meal, especially to use up veggies and stuff you have floating around.

    What does that entail? I know it's thing, but just don't really know much about it and have never made it before. Just different spices and flavor profile compared to Indian?

    I know curry came up a couple of days ago from some of you guys. This British restaurant channel I've been watching recently just posted what looks to be a great recipe. Been all honesty most of the recipes are pretty fantastic. Play a lot of flavor profiles and use a really good balance of...

    Yeah, I've done that before if I'm hurting for space, or stick it out on the cookie sheet and place it in the oven if I'm using it the same day, not cooking, just thawing at room temp.

    Man, I bet that was great. Wanted to get one this year, but couldn't find one at HEB, so dredged up the ribs from the depths of the freezer. Really need to make Greek soon now that it's spring, just so tasty and easy.

    I don't really have any knowledge of those types of kayaks, but Jackson makes good boats, and I think they have a pretty big variety for that niche of the paddle sport. It's funny, I was watchin the headwaters kayak YouTube channel earlier, and he was at a trade show and was showcasing some...

    What's everyone making for Easter Sunday? We pulled a couple of baby backs out I'm just going to do traditional fare to accompany it, beans, macaroni and cheese, etc. I haven't smoked ribs in a while, so hopefully I don't screw them up. I'm guessing maybe 5 hours or so for total cook time...
