    I do pork chops a lot like the steak method that was linked earlier. I like to season them with lemon pepper. Put equal parts butter and oil in a pan (preferably cast iron) and heat it until the butter starts to smoke and throw in the chops and don't move them for 2-3 minutes depending on how...

    The cap is by far the worst part. I could actually upgrade to like 12 mB but with the same data cap I see no reason to. 3mB is fine for surfing and more speed would just make me want to do things that would destroy my cap in an hour.

    Did the cable say "charging only" or can you use it to transfer data if you hook it up to your computer as well? I did have some "charge only" cables and they might only have the +5V and Ground wires and the other two are not even there, which would un-short them. If it works for data though...

    Worth going all Apple?

    If a Mercedes had the exact same internals as the Mini but a fancier body it would be a decent analogy.

    Worth going all Apple?

    Sony shit is also ridiculously overpriced and marketed to people who care more about fashion than function. Doesn't mean that makes macs costing twice as much as they should a good value.

    Podcasts Misc

    Apparently Carolla Digital and How Stuff Works are being sued by a patent troll company that claims to have a patent on podcasts. They have already successfully sued just about every company that distributes podcasts and gotten a license agreement and now they're going after the podcasters...

    Yeah I felt like the monoprice cords fucked out the receptacle on my phone and then no cord would stay in it. What kind of charger are you using? Android phones have "usb" charging mode and "AC" charging mode. In USB mode it will only draw 500 mA so you don't overload your USB port but in...

    Lance Armstrong To Confess?

    The USADA isn't a court of law. He hasn't been criminally or civilly prosecuted yet as far as I know. I don't think the evidence requirements to ban someone from sports are at quite the same level as a criminal court.

    Anonymous Hacks The Westboro Baptist Church: Posts All Their Personal Information

    But why would they do that? They aren't rich, and since half of them are lawyers it's not like they don't have other ways to make money. I don't doubt that they make a living off of their lawsuits, but the idea that they would spend their whole lives cynically pretending to be crazy just to...

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    Wow, monster game for Kaepernick. His big run was ridiculous, ran away from everyone on the field. Whatever happens next week, no one is going to give Harbaugh shit about benching Alex Smith after that game in the playoffs. As great as it would be to whip Seattle in SF in the NFC...

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    Rumor has it that Aldon Smith was playing hurt the last couple games as well but they kept it quiet and he's supposedly doing better now. If both of them are at least 80% they're going to slow down Rodgers. I can live with the 49ers losing to the Packers. I would rather that happen than...

    are PCs on the way to becoming obsolete?

    I think this has a lot to do with it. 10 years ago I built a new gaming PC every year. Now even gamers don't need to do that and regular people get 5-8 years out of a computer.

    The Hobbit

    From what I've heard just about any type of publishing or entertainment the standard procedure is to just not pay anyone any residuals until they at least threaten legal action and then pretend you have never made any money on the project.

    The Hobbit

    What a whining bitch Christopher Tolkien is. Poor guy just had to become fabulously wealthy off of his father's work and then decided to sell it to a movie maker and then act like he was raped when the movie made him tons more money for doing jack shit. Fuck him in his 88 year old ass.

    Yeah, but regardless of prep time, I still say ground beef tacos are tasty. They aren't the same thing as shredded beef/pork tacos. Both kinds are good.

    That's cool, I haven't heard of that. We have a family story we always tell on my Mom because she was making chili one time and the shaker top came off the garlic salt and dumped half the canister in there. She scooped it out and served it anyway but it was totally inedible. She later fed it...

    2013 Oscar Nominations

    Do we really have to debate the career of Seth Macfarland in the Oscar thread? I haven't seen the movie, but Araysar and a fair number of liberals are butt hurt about it because they think it glorifies torture.

    That is good, but I like a nice american taco bell style taco as well. Also, that takes about 15 minutes to make vs. several hours of slow cooking.

    I sell 5-8 grass fattened cows a year to people who buy halves or quarters and people go nuts for it. I would love to be able to sell a ribeye for $15 but it's not really practical. I do think that grass fed is different and in a good way though. I have eaten it for most of my life so I roll...

    Those are for beef short ribs, which is different than baby backs. I fucking love short ribs, but they aren't really football food. I do think that braising is the way to do them though. I haven't made them in a while but that recipe is pretty similar to how I do them. I missed lunch today...

    Things you couldn't live without.

    I am with you. It annoys the hell out of me now when I can't use a card, and if I have to write a check then fuck you. That said though, you should really get a credit card instead of using your ATM card. The liability situation is better with credit cards if you get it stolen somehow and...

    LGBT- too many interests

    Is that 10% thing really true? I feel like maybe 1% or less of the people I have known in my life are gay and I used to live in the Bay Area. I realize not everyone is open about it, but I have a hard time believing the 10% thing.

    QT rarely discusses the brilliance of anyone but QT. He's quite a douche in interviews. That said, there was an episode of Fresh Air on NPR where he talks about finding Waltz for Inglorious Basterds. He mostly comes across as talking about how great he is for discovering him though...

    I thought the new guy was fine but the show sort of sucked last season regardless. As others have said, Batiatus was the real star of the show IMO and with him gone it's just not that compelling. I will still watch the season, but I'm kind of glad it's the last one and my expectations are low...
