    The Ask Kuriin, A Gay Man, Anything Thread

    If I only know 20 people then your math is dead on there. I actually know considerably more than that though (people, not homosexual people). I am personally skeptical of the 5-10% number based on my personal experience though, but the community you live in makes a pretty big difference in that.

    The Ask Kuriin, A Gay Man, Anything Thread

    That makes sense. If people know someone who's gay then it's harder to be prejudiced so I could see where some people would think that everyone should come out so people will be able to see how many gay people that there really are out there and that they are normal people then there will be...

    Bros, it's time to let those grandfathered unlimited data plans go. Unlimited data is nice, but when most people are around wifi most of the time and have good broadband connections at home, how much is that unlimited data plan really worth? I know people who are buying phones at full price so...

    2013 NFL Season

    If the Seahawks and Patriots are playing in the superbowl it's going to improve the food at my SB party because I will be happy to cook rather than watching the game that I am hoping for both teams to lose.

    The Ask Kuriin, A Gay Man, Anything Thread

    I agree with that. The kids are one thing, but letting some poor woman spend years of her life in a relationship that is based on a lie is just wrong. I can't imagine that those couples have a good sex life either.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    I don't think that working the meat counter is immoral at all. Working in the marketing department at Whole Foods? Maybe. When I first started contemplating getting back into agriculture our ranch was really struggling financially and so I started looking into things like organic, natural...

    2013 NFL Season

    First off, great win for the 49ers. I was worried in the middle of the second quarter but after that touchdown drive before the half the 9ers dominated both sides of the ball. Kaep got them the lead and Gore drove the stake through their hearts and the defense pitched a shutout in the second...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    God damn it this is the second time someone has made this retarded argument. Grocery store tomatoes are bred (not GMO BTW) to survive mechanical harvesting and trucking. Whether or not "non-organic" pesticide was sprayed on them or not has nothing to do with the difference in flavor. OF...

    Some electric smokers have an add-on for cold smoking. Basically another metal box with a tube that connects it to the main smoker to separate the heat from the smoke. This is the bradley version which I don't recommend because of the lame hockey pucks that they will charge you 10 times the...

    That is true but thanks, I will check out the LG. I really wanted to go away from Samsung for a cycle because my Galaxy Nexus was such a poorly made POS. Battery life is probably my #1 consideration this round. I'm so fucking sick of my phone being dead at 6 PM every day.

    I thought of a gay question today. How do you feel about people who stay in the closet? I know some gay people are really down on anyone that stays in the closet as if it's immoral to do so, although I'm not sure why. Any thoughts on this?

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    llwhateverthefuckyournameis, What you are talking about is not organic. You want hand farmed vegetables and you are willing to pay a high price for them. No problem, but you have to realize that you are a niche market and if everyone tried to eat like that there would be massive food...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    No, I can't, but that has absolutely nothing to do with organic. After all, I do use pesticides in the garden so my garden tomatoes are not organic. It doesn't have a god damn thing to do with organic. The tomato in the garden tastes better because it was vine ripened and hand picked while...

    I see people trying to sell tube TVs in the classified ads all the time. That shit is worth less than nothing. You would have to pay me $50 to come pick it up and haul it to the dump for you. I also get a laugh out of people trying to sell used LCDs. I saw an ad on Craigslist where somebody...

    Has anyone announced an interesting phone? I am in bandwidth purgatory at the moment so fancy sites like Engadget and The Verge won't load for me right now. My Verizon contract is up next week, am I really going to have to just choose between the Note 3 and the Moto X?

    Nervous About Nonstick? I like non-stick for cooking eggs. If you're going to get it super hot to sear something you're better off using a cast iron pan anyway, or a carbon steel wok. Someone gave me a non-stick wok once which seemed like a bad idea. I burned the fucker up steaming...

    2013 NFL Season

    The last time the 49ers played them Harbaugh bitched to the media about it and they did seem to get more calls in that game. Based on what we saw in the 9ers-Packers game last weekend though, they're not looking to throw a lot of flags. It's kind of understandable, nobody really likes to see a...

    It sounds good, but I am confused by the name since there is no bourbon in it and I can't say I've ever seen "bourbon chicken" on a Chinese takeout menu. I doubt that bourbon would improve it, I really don't think it would, but what's with the name?

    I think the main thing is that it's faster and you don't have to get out a big pot. Just cause I didn't have a plan for dinner I made some marinara sauce and cooked some penne after that last post using the cold water method and it turned out great and took half as long as the standard method...

    Speaking of pasta, Alton Brown now claims on his podcast that he doesn't do the thing where you boil a big ass pot of water and then add your pasta to it anymore.

    If it's a good recipe then by all means use it. All I'm saying is that learning how to cook is different than learning how to follow a recipe and if you learn how to cook you will be able to tell a good recipe from a bad one and how to make a decent recipe into a good one or adjust it to fit...

    BTW my Mom makes Mexican lasagna that uses real lasagna noodles. I can't remember the exact details but you layer in seasoned ground beef, refried beans, black olives, and salsa in 3 layers of uncooked lasagna noodles, put sour cream and cheese on top, and bake it. Not exactly authentic or...

    I went through the same thing with my sister and had to do the refurbished roku as well. Of course 9 months later she wound up with a new TV with HDMI. Free TVs are nice and all, but you know you can get a modern 32" flat screen for like $220 right? Plenty big enough for a bedroom TV.
