    SWTOR

    Secret World is easily my favorite MMO just for the sheer uniqueness of the game. Such a cool setting and I loved the skill wheel, and being able to mix and match everything. Tornquist was really a pretty revolutionary game developer, and it's a shame he bailed on it. If I remember it was a...

    Let's build some pools!

    I think a feature of newer pools / decks have umbrella holders set at regular intervals. If you need some shade in the middle of the day, just pop a big beach umbrella in, and you're good to go. You'll see the holders in the shallow end of the pool so you can hang out in the shade. They're...

    SWTOR

    I remember playing a sith warrior light side with a buddy of mine where we were going through the main story, and doing all the side quests but bouncing between each other's story line. Think he was playing an inquisitor, or whatever the caster class was. It was honestly one of the most...

    What's your average price right now for a simple rectangular pool, nothing fancy?

    Let's build some pools!

    Haha, par for the course. I've never dealt with an architect who has ever been conscientious of budgets. Even if you try to do a design build as the GC, it's still a pain in the ass wrangling them in, but that's about as close as you can get. Haven't done ground up stuff in a while and maybe...

    Really good channel by the way, but Goddamn. Probably one of my favorite things to cook, just wish I had access to those ingredients. Doesn't mean you can't make a great one with what you've got available, but fuck... Have a summons upon us I haven't made porchetta and a few months, I'm...

    Let's build some pools!

    I would imagine that has its own share of headaches. I guess that's why I like commercial even though you might have to deal with decision by committee, it's not a homeowner. That's not to say that some homeowners aren't a wonderful to deal with or singular business owners, but understand age...

    I can't remember but do you just do just commercial or residential as well?

    Let's build some pools!

    I've run commercial jobs in the past for pool facilities and I have kind of a macro view. I know enough about the various steps no different than building a house, upfit, strip center, etc, but by no means do I know the finer points of installation. If you have any of the nuances, I'd be...

    I guess you're right. Any time I've ever had it which isn't a lot, it wasn't authentic. Looks like it's usually pork liver pate. Never been a huge fan of pate. Gotta love the French.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    So why on Earth would you make chicken liver pate and use that instead of mayo? I don't think it's supposed to be very hard, but if I was going to make it it's about sourcing the best and freshest chicken livers possible and not just something from the grocery store in a tub. Have you eaten...

    Hah, they'll either work or it'll be 10 bucks wasted. I guess she got them half off or whatever. I don't know if I necessarily going to detect much of a difference in flavor with throwing a lot of smoke on it, and I almost wonder if grilling quick and fast with charcoal, and just seasoning the...

    They smell great though. You're not supposed to use a whole bunch of them and just I guess toss them on along with the regular charcoal.

    Y Yeah, it finally got going on and maintaining anywhere from 275 to 300 based upon how much wood I'm throwing on. I don't think I'll need to add anything more than what I'm currently got, but it's looking pretty good. Just need to get my ass inside and start making all the accoutrements...

    The Pope's Exorcist (2023)

    Saw Master and Commander in the theater, and it was amazing. Probably watch it once a year. Think I saw 3:10 to Yuma in the theater as well and enjoyed it too.

    I've got three or four of their styrofoam coolers floating around in the garage to use for whatever the hell. I don't mind throwing fish or something in them and if it gets too cruddy I can just pitch it. I've got one right now with wild bird seed for when I go out to the park and fish and...

    We just have an El cheapo from home goods that I think my wife had gotten at some point. It works perfectly fine, like @BrutulTM said, just have to be careful using it. You can have the fanciest one on earth and every professional chef still says be careful when using a mandolin. Just find...

    Dead Island 2

    Man no clue this finally came out. First one was a lot of fun with friends. Don't think I ever finished the DLC for that one. Maybe I'll go back and play the first one through and then wait for this one to go on sale. It's been Lord knows how long since we played the original.

    No, just no. It's all subpar meat, portions are small and it's overpriced. I've been gifted Omaha steak packages at Christmas time from various people and it's not anything I'd pay for. You're better off going and finding a local butcher and spending some decent money to get a much better...

    Looks like that guy's channel got nuked or something. It only shows me a weird smattering of episodes across the seasons, and there's definitely not the peacekeeper wars. I guess he probably got hit with copyright strikes or something. Was afraid that might end up happening. Edit: sucks...

    Looks good. If you're doing tacos with leftovers, make some type of crema or whatever to drizzle on. We do something with Avocado Sour cream Mayo Pickled jalapenos Cilantro Lime zest and juice Season to taste Just throw all that stuff in a blender, and you're good to go. You can swap out...
