Yeah, I thought about the battery issue too. The technology does exist though, multiple companies had it at CES.

When cordless phones first came out you could actually tune them in on an old TV that had the UHF channels. We used to do that back in high school but never heard anything interesting. Ham radio is definitely the most plausible communications mechanism after the breakdown of society. No...

You can always get a loan from your bank if you want to buy from a private seller but still need financing. I think trade-ins are a rip off anyway. They will almost always drop the price by at least a couple thousand if you don't have a trade. I will be paying cash for this vehicle...

It's retarded that they can't get updates out, but are you really missing anything by being behind? It doesn't seem like there has been many major features or changes in recent updates but I'm on a Nexus. The split-screen thing is neat, but I use it maybe once every couple of months. Robert...

Nothing to contribute to the project car discussion, but I was wondering whether you guys buy used cars at dealerships, used car lots, or from private parties. I have been shopping for a half-ton pickup for a vacation/going to town vehicle and it seems like the dealerships are $2-5K higher for...

Say what you want about the play calling or clock management, but if the Falcons don't bumblefuck their way out of field goal range on that one drive OR the ball doesn't miraculously bounce on a dude's leg into Edelman's hands OR the defense manages to stop one of the two 2-point conversions...

Moss was a more talented WR than TO, but I would rather have Owens. One of my favorite TO moments was once when a ball got picked off in front of him. The CB made it all the way through the 49ers and looked like he was going to score and then out of nowhere TO just appears from the side of the...

You are totally wrong about that. Fingerprint scanner on the back is much better. You just use your finger instead of your thumb. I usually have my Nexus 6P unlocked before it's all the way out of my pocket.

I have only eaten at a Cheesecake Factory once, but that menu gave me anxiety. I already have a hard enough time deciding what to have at a normal restaurant.

Avoiding chains isn't what makes you a faggot. Telling people that you avoid chains is.

It's noodles and sauce. You can't fuck it up too badly. You seem to be kind of a faggot with your "I tend to avoid chains" at the end so it's probably best for your self image if you just keep pretending you're too good to eat there.

My town had an A&W when I was a kid. Do they still have telephones in the booths so you can order from your table?

I'm in after this week's episodes. I still don't know WTF is going on, but the writing, cinematography, and acting are top notch and I'm finally into the story. What he said to the blonde girl that was trying to seduce him was amazing. I do have to agree that the baby drop was pretty...

Heard a KNBR interview with John Lynch today and it sounds like Kyle Shanahan more or less hired him even though he doesn't officially work for the team yet. I know that the coach and the GM being in harmony was a top priority for the organization after Baalke's terrible relationship with both...

It's open now? I'm coming to Billings in a week or so, I will definitely have to have lunch there.

I have heard people say that they are dry here and never got it but then a couple weeks ago I got a Double Quarter Pounder and the patties were dry. Maybe it's because they had been in the fridge for too long or something. It's not something that I see normally, but I do know what people mean now.

I never ate Hamburger Helper but my Mom made (and still does make) a lot of hamburger casseroles and I think that they are underappreciated these days.

Has anybody used ceramic coated non-stick pans? I was buying my annual T-fal at Walmart and saw them and bought one on impulse. Amazon.com: GreenLife Soft Grip 12" Ceramic Non-Stick Open Frypan, Burgundy: Stir Fry Pans: Kitchen & Dining It was beautifully slippery cooking my eggs this...

A lot of people really like the pellet grills. I think that they make a better smoker than a grill, since most of them have a hard time getting super hot to sear steaks but maybe with some grillgrates you could even do that. I think that the pellets are a bit more expensive than...

The new hardcore history about the Cuban missile crisis was fantastic. Best episode in a long time.

Allegedly, Tom Brady can chug a beer faster than anyone you've ever seen. It's like there's nothing he isn't good at.

I'm surprised to see this level of passion over seasoning mixes. I just put salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin in mine. Maybe some cayenne if I want some burn.

Carrie rubbing her tits on him reawakened his will to live.

Belichick might have won more games, but Walsh's offense revolutionized football and the guys from his coaching tree went on to win 5 more super bowls running variations on it. The Atlanta Falcons will be running it on Sunday. I don't know if Belichick has actually innovated anything or has any...

If you're really an addict, that is a totally unrealistic proposition. I don't know if you are actually an addict, but if you are, "just cutting back" isn't really a thing.

I know.

That's a reflection of the times though. Salary caps and free agency make it harder to keep a team together, but they make it much easier to build a team or bring in guys to fill needs. Comparing people from different eras is just jerking off. It was a different game back then. Did you know...

My brother and sister in law had a Passat and had a lot of problems with it. They have told me that they won't buy another VW. Don't have details though, sorry.

Yeah, and you can do that with pretty much all barbecue. It's not like the stuff is coming right out of the smoker at your favorite rib joint. It's all reheated.

Yeah it really sucks to run out of fuel on a Kamado because adding coals is such a shit show and then it's tough to get the thing back to temp. Did you just add cold coals or did you get them going in a chimney first?

If he can play defensive back as a white guy, he can probably do anything.

Just to be clear, your current strategy is just white knuckling it?

It looks pretty tasty to me.

It would be easy to bake cinnamon rolls in a BGE, but I'm not sure the smoky flavor would enhance them.

Good job ignoring the whole article except the one sentence that tells you what you wanted to hear. I have a BGE and have never had an issue with ash building up on a single cook and if I did I would spend 30 seconds scraping the ash out. Buy what you want, I'm just letting people know that...

I'm not saying you can't use it, just that it costs more and performs worse than briquettes. I have used it to smoke shit in my BGE many times, back before I knew that there is no reason to use it.

Briquettes are more consistent, especially for smoking. Different sizes of lump charcoal make temperature control more difficult and has no real upside. The Science of Charcoal: How Charcoal is Made and How Charcoal Works - amazingribs.com

I'm doing sliders for the SB this year. Buffalo chicken, mini burgers, and hot pastrami. It's going to be the first time in many years when I haven't made wings so I hope people aren't disappointed, but I figure that the buffalo chicken sliders are pretty similar.

Looks pretty small compared to what I would have imagined.
