Did you guys hear about thatCryptolockertrojan that was going around last fall? It encrypts all your files with strong encryption and then puts up a countdown timer with a button to pay them two bitcoins (worth like $2000 right now). If you don't pay before the timer runs out, they delete the...

I see people trying to sell tube TVs in the classified ads all the time. That shit is worth less than nothing. You would have to pay me $50 to come pick it up and haul it to the dump for you. I also get a laugh out of people trying to sell used LCDs. I saw an ad on Craigslist where somebody...

Has anyone announced an interesting phone? I am in bandwidth purgatory at the moment so fancy sites like Engadget and The Verge won't load for me right now. My Verizon contract is up next week, am I really going to have to just choose between the Note 3 and the Moto X?

Little known fact: Sous-vide causes twice as much cancer as atomized teflon.

Nervous About Nonstick? I like non-stick for cooking eggs. If you're going to get it super hot to sear something you're better off using a cast iron pan anyway, or a carbon steel wok. Someone gave me a non-stick wok once which seemed like a bad idea. I burned the fucker up steaming...

The last time the 49ers played them Harbaugh bitched to the media about it and they did seem to get more calls in that game. Based on what we saw in the 9ers-Packers game last weekend though, they're not looking to throw a lot of flags. It's kind of understandable, nobody really likes to see a...

It sounds good, but I am confused by the name since there is no bourbon in it and I can't say I've ever seen "bourbon chicken" on a Chinese takeout menu. I doubt that bourbon would improve it, I really don't think it would, but what's with the name?

I think the main thing is that it's faster and you don't have to get out a big pot. Just cause I didn't have a plan for dinner I made some marinara sauce and cooked some penne after that last post using the cold water method and it turned out great and took half as long as the standard method...

Speaking of pasta, Alton Brown now claims on his podcast that he doesn't do the thing where you boil a big ass pot of water and then add your pasta to it anymore. Somebody called in to the podcast and asked if he would change anything about the old show and he said that in the pasta episode he...

If it's a good recipe then by all means use it. All I'm saying is that learning how to cook is different than learning how to follow a recipe and if you learn how to cook you will be able to tell a good recipe from a bad one and how to make a decent recipe into a good one or adjust it to fit...

Yeah, 32" LCDs are so cheap now that they are literally impulse purchases. If I had a place to hang it and some sort of input for it, I might actually buy one for my bathroom.

BTW my Mom makes Mexican lasagna that uses real lasagna noodles. I can't remember the exact details but you layer in seasoned ground beef, refried beans, black olives, and salsa in 3 layers of uncooked lasagna noodles, put sour cream and cheese on top, and bake it. Not exactly authentic or...

It's nice to see that when me and Ao- or whoever the fuck that was stopped going full retard in the cooking thread that Deathwing was ready to pick up the flag and run with it. Obviously this thread has gone to shit for lack of internets. You can experiment with baking a bit, but you need...

I went through the same thing with my sister and had to do the refurbished roku as well. Of course 9 months later she wound up with a new TV with HDMI. Free TVs are nice and all, but you know you can get a modern 32" flat screen for like $220 right? Plenty big enough for a bedroom TV.

This post, on the other hand, is super nuanced and open minded.

I think it might be more accurate to say that broke people are android users. If you're getting a free smartphone on contract, it's probably going to be Android.

depends on how they taste

Is this the thread where I place my order for a pygmy mammoth?

If a smaller percentage of gay guys in the black community are out of the closet, then it stands to reason that the ones you know about would tend to be the more flamboyant ones that can't hide it as easily. I do think that straight black guys do tend to be a bit more flamboyant than straight...

You can't just say "I'm mentally scarred, give me money" though. There has to be some evidence that you are due some cash. If you can convince a therapist to say that her life has been notably impacted or that she is unable to hold a job or something then you might be getting somewhere but I...

So is watching desk jockeys cry about cold when the only thing they do in it is walk to and from their car for 30 seconds at a time. Sunday it was -20 all day long and the wind was blowing like crazy and I was out in it all morning trying to unfreeze water. On Monday the sun was shining and it...

It's probably obvious, but I feel the need to point out now that I am not a professional law talking guy and I don't really know what I'm talking about.

The joke you will hear in any community that has irrigation is "Around here, whiskey's for drinking, water is for fighting over". I did always think it was weird that all over Arizona there are cotton and vegetable fields even though the climate can obviously not support them without massive...

You have to show negligence AND damages to sue though.

Yeah, I have woke up from a sex dream and taken care of business, but never gotten off with zero contact. I did it in my pants once in a strip club, but that was after the chick did nothing but grind on me for like 5 straight songs. Has anyone actually woke up with a bunch of semen in their...

Yeah, basically the worst thing that came of it is that you have to change your number and maybe you paid a fee for a service you didn't receive (which they will probably refund anyway if you ask). Unless you are going to try to claim that your daughter has received a lot of mental anguish and...

Ah I didn't know that. That is good. I don't think Verizon does the same, and of course they don't allow the Nexus 5 either :P.

So you want to sue for what damages?

The issue isn't honey, it's getting food crops pollinated. A lot of farmers bring in bees for their fields and that's getting harder due to the colony collapse thing.

That's pretty big if you can actually pay less if you bring your own phone. Right now it's kind of nuts to buy a phone outright if you're on ATT or Verizon because you're basically going to pay them $500 for a phone whether they give you one or not.

I just ate 5 cloves of garlic from the bottom of a jar of olives. I feel like I could swallow a whole god damn sous-vide tuna right now and not have to go to the dentist OR get cancer for at least 10 years.

No chance that you're just a douche?

But it's nice to know that if someone doesn't like you, you automatically assume that it must be because you are so good looking.

You could have mentioned that sooner. I've been eating non-Scandinavian potatoes non-stop since your previous post and now I'm riddled with radiation.

I think you can make booze from carrots. You can ferment anything with sugar in it, and then you can distill anything with alcohol in it, so I don't see why you couldn't make carrot vodka. EDIT: Yup Vodka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It looks great.

So any steakhouse that uses a grill isn't a "professional" steakhouse. They are like amateurs or something. Gotcha. Anywhere else you would like to move the goalposts?

I just said that no steakhouses use grills. This is the assertion and it is totally correct.

Are you guys actually getting viruses? I feel like it's been at least 3 years since I had one, maybe more. Even my dumbest relatives haven't called me about viruses in years.
