    The Machinist

    I want to justify buying a tig welder. I've only used one once on aluminum and found it very challenging. Get even a little too much heat in that shit and you blow a hole the size of a quarter in it. Already have a mig and arc welder and I pretty much never weld on aluminum or stainless so...

    Turkey is the worst meat hands down. I like it once a year on Thanksgiving but the most you can hope for is not dry. I don't mind experimenting with the turkey because in my book the dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and possibly the cranberry sauce are all more...

    What pot and pans do you need? Personally I think buying sets of either pans or knives is the wrong approach because they always pad the sets with shit you don't need and personally I wouldn't buy the same brand of frying pan as I would sauce pan etc. I use Shun knives. I've had them 15 years...

    Thanksgiving week and no cooking thread posts? Here's my turkey porn. Tom turkey that we raised from a chick and butchered on Sunday. Spatchcocked it and dry-brined in the refrigerator and threw it on the Yoder at 10 AM, 325 degrees. Turns out I should have thrown it on at 8:30. The...

    Translation: Expensive liquor is not about what it tastes like, it's all about signaling that you are rich and superior. It's proven every time someone challenges so-called experts to a blind taste test. Everyone buys the most expensive shit that they can comfortably afford and then pretends...

    I did my homework. I drove halfway across town to get to a place that some internet expert said was the best place in Philly. I think it was Jim's Steaks. Still wasn't impressed. I'm sure opinions vary on what is the best, but I didn't just walk into a random place.

    There's a chain in the Bay Area called the Cheese Steak Shop that I used to go to all the time. When I actually went to Philadelphia and had a cheese steak I was very disappointed and always felt like the ones I got in CA were better.

    I think you're getting a little carried away there. Eli is 6th all time in passing yards, 7th all time in touchdowns, 11th all time in wins, and won two superbowls. He's a hall of famer for sure. Blake Bortles will never get close to any of that. That doesn't mean he's good now, but you're...

    I would build a giant shop, like 250' x 250'. Woodworking in one corner, welding/blacksmithing in one corner, machining in one corner, and auto mechanics in one corner, with every tool imaginable, CNC shit etc. Then I would hire a guy who knows how to do all that shit and we would just hang...

    Yeah I'm having a hard time thinking of an overtly political Tool song. I am very tired of every musician thinking that writing a song about Donald Trump is somehow accomplishing something besides making their music worse.

    I will never understand why when 3 phase is an outlet with 3 hot wires that are out of phase and a 240 outlet is 2 hot wires that are out of phase, they call the 240 outlet single phase. That seems like it should be considered 2-phase.

    It's not that it's in the food. You can scrape the coating off if you use metal utensils, but it doesn't hurt you to eat it. In early non-stick pans there was an acid that was carcinogenic in the coating that could become aerosolized and be inhaled while cooking, but that was not from cooking...

    If there's that much room up there then the transit is technically possible, but that would mean he had to jump up and grab something on the ceiling, which would be 12-14 feet off the floor level which is obviously impossible for men who have not been bitten by a radioactive spider.

    I thought putting my porn mags in the dropped ceiling was such a clever idea. Probably every teenage boy with a dropped ceiling in his room did it. That frame wouldn't hold 50 lbs, let alone a grown man, and generally the gap to the floor joists is just the width of an air duct, 12-14"...

    I'm with you 100%. Sous Vide lets you cook a steak pretty well with no skill, but if you just actually learn how to grill steaks, you can get equal or better results without bringing out the science gadget and wasting 2 hours. I have an Annova that I bought on prime day because it was half...
