    I bake my chicken parm, and I occasionally even use just regular boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and don't bother pounding them out flat. Flat gives you more crust to chicken, but is also a bit more unhealthy since its a lot more breading for the same(or less) amount of meat. I just take...

    Almost any LED that you purchase today will have a better picture than your 7 year old Vizio LCD, short of buying something really, really cheap like a TCL, Westinghouse, Philips, etc. any Vizio, LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, Sony, etc will look great compared to your old LCD. I...

    *highfive* The only people that should need cases for phones are children. How hard is it to not constantly drop something? How often do you drop a drink glass and break it? And thats even often wet and slippery. I don't understand people that constantly break phones on a regular basis...

    My DirecTV hardware is all slow as shit, I hate it, and it's only 2 years old, I signed on with them in August 2012. It often takes 10-15 seconds to change a channel. Sometimes the TV actually shuts off into sleep mode because the input has been inactive for so long between when the current...

    There used to be a Taco Bell by me that was an old school Taco Bell with no drive thru, and then they retrofitted one to it years later, but only one side of the building was available for a window, and it was oriented so that when you pulled up, your passenger side window was the one at the...

    Honestly, I wouldn't pay the premium that 75"+ TVs run right now. You can get damn good 65" TVs for under $1300, whereas a nice 75-80" is like 2-3X that price. Not to mention that it looks like the only 80" TVs available right now are mid-range brands like Vizio and Sharp. I don't see an 80"...

    I would assume that the average person can't use Sous-vide in most situations. The average working adult either needs something that can be 100% hands off for 8+ hours(crock pot) so that they can start it before they leave for work in the morning, or they want to go with a method that is going...

    Yeah, the 2 lanes at McDonalds is awesome. I always feel a little bit of smug satisfaction when the car in front of me goes in 1 lane, I go in the other, and then I end up in front of them because they ordered too slow.

    If often wonder if most fast food places regret spending the cash to add a 2nd drive through window? That became all the rage here in the last decade or so, and pretty much nobody uses them anymore except for McDonalds. My local Taco Bell, Wendys, and Burger King all have a 2nd window for...

    I've officially tried all three Taco Bell quesaritos, and I prefer the ground beef by quite a wide margin over the steak and chicken. Which works well since it's cheaper than the other two by about a buck anyways. Something about that ground beef, rice, and melted cheese all mixing up real...

    That was my original motivation for testing out all this steak stuff, it seems like frozen grilling yields the same results as sous-vide, in about 1/10th the time. Jackpot!

    So, is is possible to even get to the point of regularly doing maps in Hardcore if you never, ever group?

    While I am in the minority of people that like windows 8, I still don't understand why Microsoft tried to force the same operating system across phones, tablets, and computers. Those are pretty different devices, they each really need an OS tailored specifically to them, ideally.

    Dude, where is my hair?

    The main downside to a shaved head for me is the fact that anytime you are doing something that is going to make you sweat a bit, it's amplified with a shaved head. That little bit of sweat runs right down onto your face, or onto your neck, there's no hair there to soak it up and hide it like...

    Shaving your head for the first time is scary as shit. Not from being afraid you're going to cut yourself or anything, it's being afraid that you are going to look like a total freak and once it's shaved there's no going back(I guess you could wear a hat for 2 weeks striaght). I'm glad I did...
