    I personally love the endurance challenges and I'm pretty sure men have won some of them.

    Yeah I cook chili and spaghetti sauce in mine all the time. It doesn't hurt it.

    Gun control

    Nobody said that a gun guarantees success, but assuming she draws it and isn't afraid to pull the trigger, the situation is more than equalized. I am a large man myself and if a tiny woman was attacking me with her fists I would grab her wrists and laugh. If she was pointing a .45 at me I...

    Yup, just get yourself a Lodge and start cooking. They come pre-seasoned now so you don't even need to worry about that step. One good trick if you let something dry and congeal in the pan is to heat the pan back up before washing it. Just put it on the burner for a couple minutes until...

    The Fast Food Thread

    If you've ever made your own corn dogs they are awesome. Mostly from being fresh from the fryer and not fried then frozen and re-heated. Highly recommended. Corn Dogs Recipe : Alton Brown : Recipes : Food Network

    The Fast Food Thread

    The faggotry is strong in this thread. This is supposed to be about fast food, not a "my town is better than your town" wankfest.

    Alternatives to Oil Heating that aren't Natural Gas.

    My brother and his wife just got a pellet stove and they like it. It doesn't take much of a chimney (4" I think) and you can go out the side of the house instead of having to go through the roof which makes it considerably easier to install than a wood stove. If you go with insulation do...

    2013 NFL Season

    It's good that Justin thinks stats are for losers or he might get bitter that his job is to open up a huge hole in an offensive line for a linebacker to run through and get a sack. Speaking of which, is Aldon Smith officially out for the year now or are they still just not talking about it?

    Your Political Party

    We have our share of rednecks here too hehe. The tea partiers made the state legislative session before last into quite the dog and pony show but of course the governor vetoed everything that they did. This year was much more reasonable. Really a Democrat just has to be pro-agriculture and...

    So what would you do differently if you wanted to make that bread in a pot method sourdough? I've been out of San Francisco and haven't had any decent sourdough bread since I left. I know it probably wouldn't be the same as they make in SF, but I would love to be able to make that stuff...

    I'm not really sure. To be honest it's weird to think about him not being a senator. Dude has been there my entire life. I met him in like 1992 when I went on a 4-H trip to Washington DC. I would be suprised if MT elected a tea partier. The state has been going democrat in everything except...

    Universal remote?

    Universal remotes all suck but the Harmonys are probably the least horrible of the bunch. Touchscreen is a non-starter IMO. You need a remote that you can use without looking at it. Having to "turn on" your remote, unlock it, light it up, and look down at it every time you want to skip a...

    Your Political Party

    You can't really blame them for running as Republicans. The deck is stacked against any 3rd party candidates. You can't get into debates etc. as a third party candidate. You don't register as a party member in all states. Personally, I don't believe in identifying as a party member. It...

    So you went to London on vacation and didn't get mugged, therefore London is safe right? And how many times a week do you usually get mugged when you vacation in an American city? Like I said, your feelings are meaningless on the topic.

    I have used this method several times but I did it again last night just because your post made me think about it. It makes a great looking loaf with a super crunchy crust which is very hard to find at the average supermarket. It does take a lot of planning to get it done though. Not only...

    I don't know if you have some kind of sick burn chambered, but the reason is obvious. A 95 lb woman that gets attacked by Brock Lesnar has zero chance of defending herself unless she has a gun.

    Statistics are definitely a great way to lie to people. I have googled this many times in recent years though and found plenty of graphs that look like mine but never seen one that looks like his.

    Gun control

    Of course it is, and to be clear, I'm not trying to suggest that the UK gun ban caused crime to go up or that increased gun ownership caused crime to drop in the US. It is a complex issue and trying to tie it to a single factor is just plain dumb. That said, none of the statistics I have seen...

    Gun control

    And since you're making me go googling again, here's the chart I referred to earlier showing gun ownership vs. homicides. I find it interesting that the US's non-gun homicides are higher than almost any country in Europe and in most cases higher than gun and non-gun combined despite the fact...

    Gun control

    When the UK banned guns, their crime rates skyrocketed. During the same period, gun ownership increased drastically in the US over the same period that the economy went in the toilet and remained there for a decade, economic inequality increased astronomically, and violent crime rates plummeted...

    Gun control

    It does not stand to reason at all, it is a gross generalization. I should have said that the UK has the among the lowest rate of per capita legal gun ownership rather than strictest gun control laws since "strictness" of gun laws isn't that easy to quantify. I posted a chart earlier in the...

    Gun control

    Nobody said anything about the rest of Europe. Also, there's no controversy about the fact that the UK is among the most violent countries in Europe despite having the strictest gun control laws. The point is that trying to correlate something as complex as crime or murder rates to a single...

    Gun control

    I read something else that said that murders in the UK are based on convictions rather than reports, so if no one is convicted of a murder, it's not counted.

    Gun control

    Just googled and I assume this is what Fanaskin is talking about. Gun crime 60pc higher than official figures - Telegraph I won't speculate on whether this is true or not. I know Japan has also been accused in the past of monkeying with the stats to make their murder rate look lower than...

    Tablets

    Faster CPUs and thinner and lighter are not innovation. That is literally the least you can do if you want to sell a new version. Apple hasn't done anything original since 2007. That doesn't mean that they are not making very good devices, but they are not where you should look for the next...

    The point is that there would be a lot less channels and a lot less content in general. Maybe some of them would be the channels you like, maybe they wouldn't, but if you watch the major networks you find out what Hollywood makes when they go for mass appeal. Breaking Bad never would have made...

    Gun control

    There's no doubt that having a gun increases your killing power very significantly vs. a knife. It's just an obvious fact and it doesn't really help your cause to make the "knives are just as bad!" argument. I find it interesting that the US has more per capita knife murders than the UK even...
