    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Yeah, a little soap won't hurt it, but it's really not necessary. Even if stuff is cooked onto it, I just put it on the burner for a couple minutes until the fat melts and then put it under running water and everything just slides off of it. Also, it's not like you need to worry about bacteria...

    It was supposed to be a speech to the nation on television but yes, she was sitting at her desk looking into the camera. I'm not sure what you mean by "polarized" though.

    There's really no maintenance for a cast iron pan if you just don't totally abuse it. I haven't reseasoned one in years.

    That caused me a little cognitive dissonance too, but all these cable dramas share actors. Oleg is a much better guy than Yevgeny.

    The Astronomy Thread

    That website sure is white. The asteroid mining thing always seems sketchy to me. Assuming you spend a billion dollars capturing and mining an asteroid but get 2 billion dollars worth of precious metals from it. Isn't dumping that much of a rare commodity on the market going to cause prices...

    The Fast Food Thread

    My grocery store has Vlasic, Mt. Olive, and the store brand. I go with Vlasic now, but they used to have Nalley which were better than any of them but they replaced them with Mt. Olive which aren't as good. The store brand ones suck.

    Westworld

    The popular idea in sci-fi is that when the computers become sentient it will be just like Terminator or the Matrix where they will instantly become superior to us in every way and then either wipe us out or enslave us. I kind of like the idea that they would be basically babies in the way that...

    I didn't think of it until just now but I suppose it's possible since we know that Ford was complicit in the hosts becoming conscious, that he built them some sort of weapon to defend themselves and told Dolores about it.

    Yeah, I liked that part as well, and I'm looking forward to getting more of William's backstory.

    I'm totally not sympathizing with Dolores right now and the whole idea that the 50 of them are going to take on the human world with six shooters is just laughable so it's hard to see where they're going with this. William's storyline is more interesting to me but I don't know where that's...

    I liked the finale. I've always been curious about the politics of the writers on this show, particularly when people on this thread were trying so damn hard to make the president character into Hillary Clinton last season even though it made no sense. I think the president's speech and the...

    Beer battered onion rings are the best, but they go downhill too quickly after they come out of the fryer for most fast food places I think.

    Dom and Wendell being secretly aligned with Laurel is making things too easy for them. I'm not sure what she's thinking but by running and telling them every time somebody tries to make a move, she's basically acting like she wants to go to the end with them, which would not go well for her...

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    Can't help thinking about watching Hard Knocks a couple years ago when they were talking about him like he was the most important guy on the team. I guess a few other things have worked out better for them since.

    I guess that explains the first round pick. I'd heard mixed reports about him but apparently they decided he's not going to get there.

    i always love it when people are all romantic about "nature" and how wild animals need to be left in nature where they will be "happy" but let some nature happen around your kids and oh shit, the science teacher needs to go to jail.

    Joe Staley isn't exactly a kid anymore either. I'm usually in favor of using high picks on the OL/DL but I'm not familiar with this guy. I was hoping maybe Nelson would fall to us but that was a pipe dream so hopefully this kid is good.

    I know the niners liked him. Maybe a small payback for the bears giving a free pick to John Lynch last year.

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    A #2 pick doesn't come along every year (unless you're the Browns) and it's one of the few ways to land a top quarterback. Even if you think Eli's got you for a couple years, it's still the smart move to get a potential QB of the future while you're here since 2 years from now you're hoping...

    Tobacco Thread, it's glorious and we should quit.

    My neighbor just died of COPD after 15 years on oxygen. If you are a lifelong smoker you should really pray for lung cancer because if the cancer doesn't get you the COPD will and that kills you a lot slower. One thing I always think about though, is that just anecdotally, living in Montana I...

    Hah. We use facebook messenger here on the ranch but I am the only one that goes to my computer instead of just using the phone for these chats so I am able to dominate the conversation with my walls of text while everyone else is pecking away on their phone.

    Dudes, As far as I can tell there isn't one person on this board and possibly the rest of the world that takes Lumi seriously. Because of that, there isn't really any need to reply to him. From my somewhat limited reading, there's no evidence of anyone changing his mind on anything, and...

    But don't forget Terry Bradshaw, Jim Kelly, and Dan Marino are all in the HoF with a score of 15 and there are plenty of really high scores that didn't succeed in the NFL. Obviously higher is better, but there's more important factors in playing QB than IQ.

    Obviously it's not everyone, but I don't think there's one other city in the US where that would happen. This wasn't Westboro Baptist, just a regular Christian youth rally, but it might as well have been a KKK meeting from the reaction it got.

    I have a friend with one very similar to that if not identical and they like it. The only problem they have had with it is getting it to hold temperature when it's very cold outside but I've seen some people wrap them in a welding blanket or something similar. The only thing I would say is...
