+1. Hot dogs aren't good enough to be pretentious about. It's hose shaped meat paste. If somebody's dumping ketchup and barbeque sauce on a perfectly cooked piece of prime rib I'm as offended as anyone, but put anything you want on a hot dog.

They drafted some good players last year that will be starters and I think they drafted well this year as well which is why I don't think that they will be in the bottom of the league but there are a lot of question marks to say the least.

Last year they underachieved (largely due to injuries) and went 8-8. Of course we don't know what the new team will be because we have never seen them play together or under this coach, but I think they would be overachieving to go 8-8 next year based on the fact that they lost a good...

Maybe it was a combination of that and the fact that they had been sitting in a snow drift with nothing to eat. Mercenaries tend to jump ship when they think the guy paying them is going to lose. I think she lied to Stannis about the vision and she really saw them getting pwned by the Boltons...

I think that is the best solution. Super simple remote with just the 4 basic functions and maybe 4-way arrow buttons for very basic navigation and anything more complicated than that you pick up the phone/tablet.

Did you miss the fact that they lost half of their roster at the end of that "average" season?

Yeah, it might be nice to not need a smartphone nearby but if you're typing using a remote control then that is bad times. I would like a remote for play/pause, fast forward, and rewind though.

Probably nothing all that significant. Weber has a great reputation for making high quality grills that last a really long time. I imagine that is the most significant difference but I'm not familiar with the one you linked. My mini weber kettle is 10 years old and looks like it just came out...

I actually have a windmill about 100 yards from the pond that's used to pump water. I wonder if it could be hooked up to an air pump as well. Unfortunately it's not on the deep end of the reservoir.

HBO Now should be on Roku and everything else shortly if it's not already. The Apple exclusive was only for a few weeks.

I'm pretty sure the ice doesn't get anywhere near 6 feet thick. There is a similar sized reservoir in the neighborhood that is stocked with trout but they have a windmill driven aerator that keeps a hole in the ice on all but the coldest days. I imagine something like that would be pretty...

This. Plus if waging a war is the bargain option then nobody can afford that shit.

Ah cool, yes it is a Moto X. Not a big deal, I'm just glad my phone wasn't fucked up.

You must not be able to just hire them for any reason or Tywin would have just gone to Bravos and said "Here's a bucket of gold, please kill all the Starks and Baratheons." and boom, war over.

Myth busting might be a little exaggeration, but he has a lot of opinions that go against common BBQ wisdom. The idea that lump > briquettes for example, or that cast iron grills are superior to thinner grates (this is one that I have argued in favor of in this very thread), the idea that grill...

Speaking of the above website. He convinced me to switch back from lump charcoal to briquettes. How Charcoal is Made and How Charcoal Works

BTW, if you haven't been toBBQ Ribs Recipes, Barbecue Recipes, Grilling Techniques, Baby Back Ribs, Barbeque Spareribs, Outdoor Cooking, Rating Grills and Smokersyou should check it out. The guy is like the mythbusters of grilling and he has some really good sciencey articles on various topics...

I can't get it here, that is buying it online from their website. Sometimes I can get it slightly cheaper on Amazon. I freaking love it though and I can't find another brand that is similar. Everything you get at the store is all soft and sticky which is not jerky to me. I have a Big Green...

I feel like this show is not very good but I watched the premier when it showed up on my DVR. The fake execution was pretty cheesy because everybody knows you don't kill your main character in the first episode of the season.

You guys have me thinking with this stocked pond talk. I have a small reservoir that would be fun to have fish in. I think an attempt was made to stock it with trout probably 25 years ago but they did not survive the winter. It is maybe 5 acres and probably 8 or 9 feet deep in the middle. It...

The stuff I was talking about was not from the gun but I have had plenty of jerky made by that thing. Some of it is okay but to me it's not really jerky if it doesn't have actual texture. I have had good sliced deer jerky as well, but it seems like most hunters don't know what they're doing...

They have Varys now so I imagine he will bring them up to date on the doings at the wall if nothing else.

There are some Amish in MT but I don't know if they make jerky. I suppose I should just figure out how to make it myself and shoot a deer once a year. I have had so much terrible shitty deer jerky made by hunters though that I know it's not trivial to do it well. I had a hunter once that gave...

Speaking of jerky, I know this is the cooking thread, but does anybody know of a good brand of jerky where it's really just dried, sliced meat and not turned to gelatin by meat tenderizer and coated with sugar like Jack Link's and all the other gas station/grocery store brands? My favorite...

Not to mention that we can rely on HBO to deliver us some new content every spring where GRRM just puts shit out when he feels like it and he usually doesn't feel like it.

I might also accept hot pockets for sex depending on who was offering. What you should NOT do though, is have sex WITH a Hot Pocket. If you think those fuckers burn your mouth coming out of the microwave you don't even want to know what they would do to your junk.

I learned something today. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and all the colors are inverted like a photo-negative. I rebooted and the splash screens are normal colors but then as soon as the home screen pops up it's inverted again. I'm out in the hills with no internet coverage so I can't...

I will most likely not buy the rest of the books when the show moves past them. I may not even buy the new one if it does somehow come out before the start of next season.

I'm sure that the VC money also requires that he stay with the company for X number of years. The board can definitely remove him as CEO and keep him at the company. As was said above, a similar thing happened at Google when Eric Schmidt was CEO despite the fact that the two founders were...

I think it's painfully obvious by this point that the "line" for the throne has a lot less to do with who's on it than the size of their army. You're only in line for the throne if there isn't someone with a bigger army that objects to it.

I think I'm just going to take the rest of the day off and watch that over and over.

That no-knead bread method is great. I should do it more often.

No way that's going to happen. She will quit the faceless men IMO.

The thread has spoken. The scene was good. Now The Ancient must walk before us naked and let us spit on him to atone for his wrongness.

I told you guys that Stannis was a loser. I thought the finale was good. All you people that are butthurt that things didn't go the way you thought that they were going to keep in mind that you are siding with astrocreep here. It's going to be fun watching next season with basically no...

You won't regret it. That thing will last 15 years.

Yeah I have one of those little square box deep fryers in the basement too. The wok is way better and I would do it in a cast iron frying pan before I went and blew the dust out of that thing.

Tyrion was basically offering Bronn a 99% chance of death for a 1% chance of getting paid even if he won since even if he was found innocent Tyrion was still probably cut off from the Lannister money pipe. He was asking Bronn to go down with the ship which Bronn was smart enough to refuse...

Don't worry about it. In 6 months the sous vide machines will be in the cabinet with the bread maker and the sodastream and every other kitchen gadget fad.
