    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Isn't sous vide going out fashion now anyway? I heard Tony Bourdain say a while back that most of the chefs he knows hate it. That kickstarter sous vide machine is going to go in the closet with your fondue pot.

    2013 NFL Season

    SF has gained a few players and Seattle has lost a few since the first game in Seattle. Seattle lost at home to the Cardinals and the Cardinals lost at home to the 49ers the following week. Personally I think Seattle, San Fran, and Carolina are the best teams in the league. I will be...

    Yeah, that's probably the case. I've just never had a non-shitty steak. You are a fucking genius. More complicated != better, especially with an ingredient like a really good steak. Guess how 99% of the world's best steakhouses cook their steak. On a grill. Retard.

    Eating fish contaminated by Fukushima is probably ok

    It depends on the guy. Personally I'm packing at least 5/8 of a banana and I'm not talking about one of those little finger bananas either if you know what I'm sayin.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I think you guys are just trying to justify your horribly nerdy and overly complicated method of cooking a steak. I seriously doubt that the 1/16 of an inch of steak that is more cooked than the rest of it seriously impacts your steak eating experience. Also I got a Thermapen for Christmas...

    Take heart. Look at how the Raiders have turned around since Al Davis died.

    Wizardhawk's memorial thread (a cautionary tale of dental care and garlic)

    That's how language works. If everybody is saying it a certain way, that becomes the right way and they change the dictionary. Sucks for the grammar nazis that will have to find some other lame thing to correct people about.

    Common movie behaviors that never happen in real life

    How about timers on bombs in general. Has there ever been a real bomb with a red LED countdown timer on it? In Broken Arrow they even had a nuclear bomb with a god damn countdown timer inside it.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I would like to know how many sodastream users have refilled their proprietary co2 canisters more than twice. FWIW, if you're really looking to save on soda, you can put together a DIY fountain setup with a real CO2 canister that you can refill at a welding shop for a fraction of the price of...

    The Ask Kuriin, A Gay Man, Anything Thread

    This is all starting to make sense. Araysar is one of those gay guys who hates gay people because he hates himself and won't accept his own sexuality.

    Doesn't renaming him pretty much make it so he can't log in since he doesn't know his username anymore?

    Considering the 0% success rate of Lumie's predictions, I think it's safe to assume that if he's the gambling type he's already broke by now.

    The Christmas Haul Thread

    I got a Thermapen instant read thermometer which I am very excited about. I almost bought one after they came up in the cooking thread the other day but now I'm glad I didn't. Also got some blurays, a shirt, 3 little LED flashlights and some nice clamps for the welding bench that I am...

    So, do you think there will be a Second American Revolution?

    The EU cracking is to be expected. They didn't succeed at becoming powerful enough to balance the US and now the non-shitty parts of Europe are having their economy drug into the toilet by the shitty parts and getting no benefit.

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    Yeah I doubt that it's anything serious. They will still charge you a couple grand to fix it though because it's a Mercedes.

    Common movie behaviors that never happen in real life

    A lot of them don't even need a few months. People that get shot in the arm/shoulder in particular can often just shake it off, or they are fine once you get the bullet out.

    Smartphones

    We're #1! I am not part of this statistic though. I don't like having to hold something up while having my private time, the tube sites are all shitty on mobile, and it's too hard to fast forward and rewind.

    Anchorman: The Legend Continues

    I disregard anyone's opinion that says that they walked out of a movie. It's such a drama queen thing to do that I am just not interested in the opinions of that kind of people, plus they didn't even see the damn movie. If they are lying about walking out, then I'm even less interested. It's...

    Suggestions for a new author / series of books for me to read?

    I loved Tigana, mostly for the beautiful use of language. Something you don't see in fantasy that much outside of Tolkien. That said, you have plenty of fantasy and sci-fi recommendations. Looking over at my bookshelf and picking a few random good books: Lonesome Dove by Larry...

    You have good dental insurance. When I had mine done it cost $1400 and the insurance picked up $250 of it.

    The Fast Food Thread

    The only local sandwich shop here doesn't have hot sandwiches and I am really not into cold sandwiches. I will eat one if I have to but I would never choose one over a burger if I was paying more than 5 bucks for it. I don't know if Subway has gotten worse or if my standards have risen because...

    HDTVs

    This is definitely possible and I have a HTPC so I can do this on my TV. It is a less than optimal experience, but definitely doable with a wireless mouse and keyboard. Since I have a netbook next to my computer and a chromecast I pretty much never do it that way anymore though.

    Spending 6.5 hours and getting stabbed with a big needle for $40 is worth it to you? To hell with that, that's less than minimum wage.

    Horrible horrible pain.

    A doctor tried to tell my step-dad that he had diverticulitis last spring even though he told him that he had fallen off of a horse the day before the pain started. He went to another doctor and was correctly diagnosed with a broken rib :P.

    One of the things I miss from California is hot pastrami sandwiches from Togo's. When I saw an ad for Subway's "Big Hot Pastrami" special right now I was excited even though I knew it wouldn't be as good as Togo's. I finally had one tonight. What a pile of dog shit. The pastrami was barely...

    I think for Al Davis to reach this level it would have to come out that Sebastian Janikowski was actually the one that made the call in trading Jon Gruden.
