    Mayo + sriracha mixed together is the way to go. So good on any sandwich that you'd normally put just mayo on. Same with sour cream + sriracha on mexican food, especially fish tacos.

    So since you don't like the small sample size of the poll referenced in the article I linked, find me a poll of the same size or larger where the majority of Native Americans are offended by the name. You can't, because it doesn't exist. It's all just white people assuming that they must...

    This is total speculation, I don't know how their system works behind the scenes but I have been using it for several years. IPTs tracking seems to lag behind a bit vs real-time. I'll often stop seeding something that I know I'm going to have to zap with bonus points because I got no ratio...

    Yeah, there's nothing in a computer that increases gaming performance anywhere close to the level that a GPU upgrade does, even jumping up multiple generations at once. Faster RAM won't really matter much, faster processor/more cores doesn't really matter. Sure, they're all small improvements...

    I don't miss having to flip DVDs for movies that were over 2 hours. My original Robin Hood(Kevin Costner & Morgan Freeman) DVD has to be flipped over halfway through. I had a couple others like that too...it was bullshit because then you could do standard aspect ratio on one side and...

    That is it, but the story behind of it is actually kind of funny. Kids in his high school started referring to him as "Johnny Fucking Football" as a form of making fun of him, I guess he was the biggest douchebag around and most people hated his pompous, stuck-up attitude that he acted like...

    Sure, I had a DVD player in 1996. First DVD I ever bought was Twister. What a shit-ass movie. Of course, I was also 19 years old and it cost a goddamned fortune, doubt many kids had them in the 90s.

    Lawn Care

    Won't kill grass in general, or specifically NEW grass(seed/sod)? I'd really hesitate to put any weed killer, or weed & feed type products on new grass growth. Its so tempremental that you run the risk of killing it off before it really gets established and hearty. If it's existing grass...

    I'm also on the anti-case team. I hate how much bulk they add to a phone, and a phone doesn't slide in and out of my pocket as easily when it has a rubber casing on it. But I'm also very careful with my device, it's either in my pocket, or sitting on my desk, and that's it. I don't leave it...

    I find it humorous that everyone references the design/casing of the M8 as one of it's best features, and then in their next breath talk about what plastic casing they are going to cover it up with for protection. Such a waste. Because of that factor, I just don't see the appeal of the M8...

    Installing Windows is no more complicated than installing a game, it just takes a little longer. Installing windows is 95% of your time spent watching a progress bar fill up. You answer a couple questions like what timezone you are in and what language you want, and that's about it.

    The way I figure it, going off-contract and buying your own phones only makes sense if you are saving $20 a month or more. Over your 2 year contract thats $480, and since buying an upgrade phone generally costs you $100-$200 up front, you're right back at the phone basically costing you roughly...

    Burnt pepper isn't actually a horrible thing. I don't mind the taste of it, it just doesn't taste the same as fresh ground(unburnt) pepper. But burnt pepper won't really ever ruin anything. It's not horrible, just different, and I like the normal taste much better.

    Don't pepper before grilling, pepper burns. I salt before grilling, and pepper right as they come off the grill, before I rest them for 5-10 minutes. I also slap a pat of butter on the steak while it rests. Damn delicious, melts right into the steak.

    That's not a bad idea. I do like the oven method, because when I make it I usually make more than can fit in one frying pan at once, so I like to put the finished pieces in the oven as I make them to keep them warm/firm them up, and then serve it all at once, piping hot from the oven.

    Yeah I don't know if making it in the oven would end up with the same crunchy crust..just from having baked things like lasagna or pizza, the oven tends to just make the cheese melty and bubbly, and that's not really what you want on the outside of the sandwich, that would be a damn mess...
