Yeah, it's like people who try to sous vide shit in their house.

Sweet corn goes downhill pretty fast after it's picked. It's okay from the supermarket, better from the farmer's market/roadside pickup truck, but best fresh from the garden. I've heard some purists say that they won't pick the corn until the water is already boiling. It just gets less sweet...

My Mom grows broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, beets, carrots, zucchini, etc. which has never made sense to me because all of that shit is dirt cheap at the supermarket and just as good as homegrown. The only part of the garden I care about is the tomatoes and the sweet corn. Her garden is...

I agree. Especially if it keeps Grimmlokk and Joeboo away from my pizza. I feel that Pizza hut is much worse than it used to be. Used to be my favorite national chain but I think they dropped their quality to compete with Domino's and Little Caesars.

I had night terrors as a child and my Mom would take me outside for a walk to calm down. I was a bit older though, and it wasn't a nightly thing. Probably happened 4-6 times total.

That's why you learn to walk when your head is only 2 feet off the ground. If you had to learn to walk when you were 6 feet tall you would be getting concussions every day.

Two chicks might be funny. There's only been a couple good women on the show survival wise. I'm sure the pool of women that 1) are into primitive survival and 2) are willing to strip naked on national television is super thin. I was pretty far down the line towards hating the girl this week...

I have always called that show "Everyday Italian with Giada's Boobs". I have no idea if her cooking is any good. Are there even cooking shows on food network anymore? I haven't watched in a long time but it seems like all that is left is cooking competition shows and travel shows (touring...

The only comment you can make about a preseason game that is dumber than saying the OC sucks is this one: "Kaepernick was so horrible he got benched after 2 series!!!!".

Pretty much all artists hate spotify. They have some sort of early deal where basically people can listen to your music all they want and the artist gets pretty much nothing. It's not analogous to radio because you get to pick what you listen to.

You are correct that Uno is not real Chicago Pizza. They suck. I went to Giordano's alone last time I passed through Chicago and I didn't want the waiter to come back and witness what I had done afterwards. Whether or not people think it's "real" pizza, it's so god damn good.

This show is good for dieting because there's no way you can eat while watching.

Young people don't really have a personality yet so they try to manufacture one by declaring themselves a (insert stereotype here) and then trying to act like they think one of those people would act.

What line of work is that? I manage to work on machinery, build fences, work with large animals, etc. outdoors all day every day and not break my phone.

As interesting as the idea was, at some point you're just watching the same thing over and over again. I really don't see how they can keep it compelling without resorting to reality show gimmicks that would change the whole nature of the show.

I just put the faucet in the middle, and I turn the burner all the way up. I did it last night with some macaroni and it wasn't done at 7 minutes but it was at 8:30.

He just jumped off of some shitty bridge in LA though.

Not to make Araysar feel better or anything, but only shitty teams actually try to win preseason games. It's because they know it might be their only chance to beat a decent team for the year.

Also, I have been doing the cold water pasta method since I first heard the podcast and it works great and is very quick. I just put the pasta in the pot, run cold water over it, put it on the stove and set the timer for 7 minutes. Then I test the pasta and set the timer again for 1-3 more...

Jesus, lot of people that were apparently raped by onions as children in this thread. I put raw red onion all over my hot dog at lunch today. It was delightful. Some onions can be very strong, but not all of them. The one I had today was sweet and delicious. You can tell by the smell when...

I've heard that cars emissions are low enough now that it's pretty hard to kill yourself that way these days. Williams lived in San Francisco within walking distance of the #1 suicide destination in the country though. He could have been the most famous person to ever jump off the golden gate...

I put a little olive oil in because it keeps it from foaming up and making a mess on the stove. BTW, AB recently reversed himself on the gallon of water thing. Now he says he just puts in enough water to cover the pasta and he doesn't boil it first, just puts the pasta in the pot, covers it...

No, there are some that have 3 elements that flip over so you can cook two waffles at once.

I agree with whoever said BLTs have to have mayo or miracle whip. There are some sandwiches that mustard just doesn't work on. My mom makes peanut butter, tomato, and miracle whip sandwiches in the summer when there are garden tomatoes. It sounds disgusting but it's actually delicious.

I have this villaware waffle iron as recommended by AB. He said to avoid the double waffle makers because they have to be underpowered since two good waffle irons would flip a residential breaker if used at the same time. They may have stopped making these things because the only people...

You mean that when people post 56 minute videos on a message board you actually watch them?

On a semi-related note, I've been listening to this song lately and it rocks. Do It Yourself - Drive By Truckers

I never put a case on my phone.

I usually eat mustard on sandwiches. If mustard is not available then I will take Miracles Whip over Mayo. It has more flavor and less calories. I just put a super thin layer of either on though. It's more to waterproof the bread than to actually change the flavor of the sandwich much...

My fucking facebook is nothing but blowhards holding forth about suicide or people quoting blowhards holding forth about suicide. It's too bad that the dude decided to off himself but people do it all the time. No need to shit up facebook for a week about it.

I've never been a druggie, but I can't believe people go to Mexico and just swallow pharmaceuticals from random people they have never met. Weed is one thing, but even that can be spiked, but I can't really imagine handing some shady stranger some money for some unidentified pills and then...

Man, think about how much tentacle rape porn will travel that cable.

Has anyone ever tried sticking a chicken breast or something in their waffle iron? Seems like it's basically a george foreman grill. Would make an interesting pattern :P.

I just have my doubts that you could tell the difference with these so-called better methods in a blind taste test. Getting out your calipers to measure whether the gray stripe at the edge of the steak is 1/16" or 1/8" is just jacking off.

Yeah I see them being used fairly often during lunch/dinner rushes. McDonald's here uses theirs a lot but it's because they are the closest fast food place to the freeway and I swear they do more business than all the other places on the street put together.

Well, my third LG G2 officially has a dead stripe in the touch screen now. If you are keeping score, this is my third defect in 7 months (G2#1 Acquired in January, headphone jack died in April. G2#2 Acquired in May, dead strip in touchscreen in June. G2#3 acquired in June, dead strip in...

I haven't read this thread in weeks, but I saw this article and thought of you guys. The Mens Rights Movement and the Women Who Love It | Mother Jones

I guess I missed where I told anyone to stop talking about anything. I just don't think there is much bang for your buck with all this nonsense.

Yup. Whatever they say, healthy, well adjusted women do not fuck on film and in particular do the kind of degrading shit that Sasha did. They are all fucked up. I can also see where spending time in that environment if you aren't just totally stupid you might start to believe that you are a...

All this nerding out over a 16th of an inch strip of well done steak is just silly. With a little practice it's very easy to cook a good steak either in a pan or on a grill and I don't really get all the science and carpentry going into trying to min-max your steak. I've been eating steak all...
