Anybody watching this? It's pretty good.

Just watched last night and I thought this was a great episode and no I don't think this is a setup to end the show, I think it's setting up for next season with Carrie as a real CIA agent again. I suppose the death angle could be a possibility, but as a writer I don't know why you would put...

You can definitely smoke stuff in a Kamado, but the temperature control isn't real precise and you have to watch it pretty much all the time. I tried to automate my Big Green Egg with a thermostatically controlled fan which worked okay, but you still have to keep an eye on it and if you need...

Why do you watch the show if you don't like it?

I bought that Talenti gelato twice and both times it was all full of ice crystals. Maybe I just have bad luck. I do prefer Häagen-Dazs or some other plain ice cream these days to B&J just because it seems like they have gone overboard with just filling their ice cream with random shit when a...

I have cooked a lot of shit in a weber kettle and maybe someone will disagree with me, but I don't think you can touch it for bang for your buck and I say this as someone with 3 grills that all cost over $800. Hell I've cooked 2 tri-tips at once in my $40 Smokey Joe and it worked great and that...

49ers keeping Reuben Foster despite felony charges This is sort of interesting. Sherman's been there less than a month and he's going to court with Foster? I guess he's trying to be a leader, but it seems a little weird to me. With regard to what the team is doing, we're right in the middle...

Nobody knows the actual facts in the case, but to quote Bay Area radio guy Tom Tolbert, best case, we know he does not make good decisions in his personal life.

That is a good point.

The problem is the jump in logic. "Gold has applications in space travel" is a hell of a long way from "Our civilization was enslaved by aliens in order to mine gold for them until some point where they flew away without a trace except for one guy carved something into a rock that looks a...

Sorry, I didn't read to the end of your post.

You have to consider though, that the History channel is 100% trying to make entertaining television and they don't give the tiniest damn about facts. It's compelling because they made up whatever bullshit they needed to to make it sound compelling. Any assumptions of integrity, scientific...

I don't understand why you think that an ancient civilization for which there is no evidence whatsoever is so much more reasonable than aliens for which there is no evidence whatsoever. You're still just pulling an explanation out of thin air and then asking for concrete proof that it isn't true.

It looks delicious.

I tried the new sliders at Hardees on Tuesday. They were shit. Dry and flavorless. I was very disappointed because I very rarely get to Hardees and there were a lot of better options i could have gone with.

What do you want to cook on it? Nothing close to that price range is going to be as versatile as the Weber kettle. I have never used a cheap propane grill that I didn't hate, but I haven't tried the Broil King mentioned above so maybe they exist. My Mom has the Weber Spirit which is the...

Every once in a while I see somebody and I really wonder if seeing themselves on TV will be painful for them. Chris is one of those people. He one of the least self-aware people I've seen on the show, like a less entertaining version of Coach. That 11 person meeting at the water well was so...

With those restrictions and price range, a classic Weber Kettle is really the only option. It's not a bad option though. Charcoal takes a while to get going, but you can sear steaks, smoke brisket, and do anything else in between with a little skill in that thing and since they're Webers they...

That video was pretty great. And the piano woman is similar to a fashion model. It's too common to just have a conventionally sexy chick, they have to look weird but not in an unattractive way. They usually have unusually large eyes too.

I wonder if the parent is clearly driving drunk if you could refuse them. Being related to a stupid junkie who has a small child, I think there are definitely times when it would be clearly better to send a kid with someone other than their parent, but that's some tricky legal territory there...

I'm not trying to shit on it. If you're having fun, more power to you. I don't think it's for me though, I would rather just lay on my back and contemplate the entire sky and look for the ISS or meteors or whatever. What I meant with the technical photography thing is that I just don't feel...

Thanks for the reply. I guess I just can't relate. To me the idea of seeing it on your computer decouples it even more from the experience, to the point where it seems like you could just google and get 100x better pictures of whatever it is you're trying to photograph with your thousands of...

Hollow out a big rubber dildo and put it over the water line. It will look like a big dick fucking your toilet tank. You know, classy.

What the article says is that you don't need to soak it, it's just on the surface regardless of how long you leave it in there. You could have put it on right before you cooked it and gotten the same result.

Marinating meat is mostly a waste of time, because the flavor doesn't actually penetrate and if you're cooking with a decent amount of heat, the marinade is just going to burn, especially if it's got sugar in it. People think they're making meat better and more tender by soaking it for hours in...

Since it costs less than a frozen pizza and you don't have to cook it...still a good deal.

Thanks, but I'm not asking about equipment, I'm asking what you are doing when you use the telescope and why do you enjoy it?

What do you look at? What would be a good night of stargazing for you? I'm not mocking or arguing, just genuinely asking. I live way out in the country and I like laying out on the lawn on a summer night and looking at the stars, so I thought I would like the telescope, but I felt like it...

I think this thread should be changed to "The space thread" or something similar. There is nothing about astronomy in here. Honestly, does anyone actually spend time looking through a personal telescope as a hobby, or do people just buy them and then realize that magnified stars look exactly...

Does this show have a laugh track? Every time I come across a 30 minute sitcom and hear the laugh track it seems so anachronistic. Then again I haven't watched a sitcom aside from the animated ones (Simpsons et al) since the 90's.

I took Carrie's conversation with Saul at the end of the episode to mean that she thinks her sister is right. She's coming to terms with the fact that she's not a fit mother and the kid would be better off with the sister and her husband and she's going to let it happen because she can't stop...

The great wall wasn't particularly effective against the Mongolians, or at least against Genghis Khan. I think he was more the inspiration for a lot of its construction.

There are gothic cathedrals that took 500+ years to build. The great wall of china took 2000 years. People just don't have that kind of attention span anymore. It's hard to imagine starting a project that your great, great, great, great grandchildren wouldn't live to see finished. Also...

That is obviously not true. Elite QBs miss the playoffs every year.

The Rams are mortgaging the future trying to buy a SB run to get their stadium built. They should be contenders barring key injuries, but I don't see how they can keep the team together more than a season or two with all these high dollar free agents and the need to pay Goff and Gurley before long.

My brother says there are times when it lags, but I think in general he is happy with it. Enough so that his wife just bought one anyway. Says battery life is good. He was a note user before this and misses the larger screen sometimes but that's the only complaints I've heard him make about...

My sister in law just got a G5 plus last week so my Mom, brother, and her all have one now. She paid $170 for it brand new. When I look at them I feel stupid for paying 3 times as much for my S8 and the $1000 phones seem even more ridiculous. On top of the way cheaper price, they don't have...

The little Caesars lunch combo is a crazy amount of food for the price. Sure, most of it is bread, but it's still a lot of bang for the buck.

True or not, that is awesome.

We know all about trilobites that went extinct 250 million years ago but only 10000 years ago somehow there was an advanced society of intelligent beings that spanned the globe which we know absolutely nothing about except that they could move and shape rocks really well and actually built all...
