    I'm down for some raw celery in either egg or potato salad as long as it's chopped very fine. And yeah, celery is part of both french mirepoix and cajun trinity as an aromatic in which case it definitely contributes to the flavor.

    It was a 6/10 for me. Not sorry I watched it, wouldn't really recommend it to anyone, wouldn't watch it again.

    He is one of the most privileged people in America of any color, not just compared to the average black American.

    He's just not a very good example of how oppressed black people are in America.

    This is somewhat inaccurate because he really doesn't throw much at all. He mostly earns his salary by having surgery.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I still think something is up with Kaepernick. He and the 49ers hate each other but have to pretend that they don't because $$$. If they can't trade him and they're not going to play him they should just cut him. I guess if he gets injured this year they have to pay him his bonus for the next...

    Can you touch your toes?

    I am fat and nearly 40 I can easily touch my toes, yet my friend in HS who was like 5' 5" and 99 lbs couldn't do it at age 18. I think it must be genetic.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Ever go out to Zachary's in the east bay? I used to love that place. I used to go to Round Table for the lunch buffet but as far as just ordering a pizza it is better than the big chains but not so much better to be worth paying triple the price IMO.

    The fact that you said this makes me completely discount your opinions on pizza.

    Autonomous Systems

    I think a lot of these scenarios that a computer couldn't figure out like "don't park in the muddy spot" could probably be overcome with some mechanism to let a human tell the vehicle what to do. Like if you want it to park or even back up to a certain spot you could just set a card on the...

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

    My sister in law started smoking at like 29. Who does that? I understand doing it when you're a dumb teenager and then not being able to quit but starting when you're all grown up and supposed to know better mystified me.

    The Fast Food Thread

    The BLT is all bacon. Once you remove the bacon you are just eating a limp tomato and some mayo on a bun. It looks so amazing in the picture, but when you bite into it all you taste is sugar. Bacon is supposed to be salty, not overwhelmingly sweet. It was really off-putting.

    The Fast Food Thread

    This is just not true. I didn't think it was possible but Arby's actually found a way to ruin bacon by coating it in a ridiculous amount of sugar. I like candy but I don't want it in my sandwich. I got the brown sugar BLT there and actually gave the second half of it to my dog which I have...

    What would be really cool about a totally autonomous control like the one above would be that you could dynamically change the lanes in a computer somewhere and the cars would instantly know it and adjust accordingly. Congestion eastbound? Well now that 8 lane highway has 6 eastbound lanes and...

    I think people talking about "fighting for your right to self drive" just lack imagination.

    Smartphones

    Funny, I had some that looked *exactly* like those including color but with a different brand name. I think factories in China just crank that shit out and put random brand names on them. They were pretty good but they only last 3-4 hours on a charge. Fine if you just want to wear them while...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Denver supposedly offered him somewhere in the neighborhood of $6M and he wouldn't take it. Like I said, the only way it would happen is if a team without a viable backup lost their QB for the season and were desperate and frankly it would probably still be a mistake.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I really think that the Kaep "dead arm" thing is just a smoke screen. He doesn't want to be on the 49ers and they don't want him there but he doesn't want to take a pay cut to go to another team and no team will pay his salary and the 49ers aren't willing to just let him walk since they have to...

    Yeah, he had some ridiculously terrible throws. I also forgot to mention that we are going to have a hard time getting pressure on the QB until Aaron Lynch gets back from suspension. Ahmad Brooks can get after the QB sometimes but he is no Lynch.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I haven't been keeping up with this thread but as a 49ers fan I was cautiously optimistic after the preseason game vs. the Texans. Not for this year, but I feel like we may have improved in some key areas vs. last year which is a sign that the rebuild has a chance. The defense actually looked...

    The US is just really fucking big and sparsely populated outside of certain areas. Places that got internet/phones later actually had the advantage because they probably laid fiber the first time around instead of copper wires that are now nearly obsolete. Add to that the fact that we gave...

    I powered through episodes 1-5 this week and I am surprised that people here don't like it. I had no problem at all with the pacing but maybe it's better if you don't have to wait a week between episodes. I love Turturro's character and while I found Naz's being a hard-ass in prison a bit far...

    Kurt Cobain was murdered (probably).

    There are a few Guns and Roses songs I can get on board with. The rest of the hair bands can fuck off. I do think that the video for "Jump" by Van Halen is the gayest thing that has ever been produced including hardcore gay sex so that is an achievement.

    To be fair, several dudes in the marriage/divorce thread could have saved themselves a lot of misery by following Khane's method of finding something wrong with everyone he dates and dumping them as soon as it starts to look remotely serious.

    Kurt Cobain was murdered (probably).

    I'm just grateful that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" came out my freshman year in HS because my friends that are even a couple years older than me still like Motley Crue/Def Leppard/Van Halen bullshit and I give Kurt credit for saving me from that grim fate.
