I have used this method several times but I did it again last night just because your post made me think about it. It makes a great looking loaf with a super crunchy crust which is very hard to find at the average supermarket. It does take a lot of planning to get it done though. Not only...

I don't know if you have some kind of sick burn chambered, but the reason is obvious. A 95 lb woman that gets attacked by Brock Lesnar has zero chance of defending herself unless she has a gun.

Statistics are definitely a great way to lie to people. I have googled this many times in recent years though and found plenty of graphs that look like mine but never seen one that looks like his.

Of course it is, and to be clear, I'm not trying to suggest that the UK gun ban caused crime to go up or that increased gun ownership caused crime to drop in the US. It is a complex issue and trying to tie it to a single factor is just plain dumb. That said, none of the statistics I have seen...

Eomer, I think that chart might be a mislabeled US graph. It matches our rates pretty well.

There was a fascinating article on Mother Jones a while back comparing murder rate with the amount of lead in the environment. It correlates much better than anything to do with guns. The US Murder Rate Is on Track to Be Lowest in a Century | Mother Jones

And since you're making me go googling again, here's the chart I referred to earlier showing gun ownership vs. homicides. I find it interesting that the US's non-gun homicides are higher than almost any country in Europe and in most cases higher than gun and non-gun combined despite the fact...

Where did that graph come from? It doesn't square with any that I have found. UK Peace Index: Rate of murders and violent crime falling faster than anywhere in Western Europe | Mail Online

When the UK banned guns, their crime rates skyrocketed. During the same period, gun ownership increased drastically in the US over the same period that the economy went in the toilet and remained there for a decade, economic inequality increased astronomically, and violent crime rates plummeted...

It does not stand to reason at all, it is a gross generalization. I should have said that the UK has the among the lowest rate of per capita legal gun ownership rather than strictest gun control laws since "strictness" of gun laws isn't that easy to quantify. I posted a chart earlier in the...

Nobody said anything about the rest of Europe. Also, there's no controversy about the fact that the UK is among the most violent countries in Europe despite having the strictest gun control laws. The point is that trying to correlate something as complex as crime or murder rates to a single...

I read something else that said that murders in the UK are based on convictions rather than reports, so if no one is convicted of a murder, it's not counted.

Just googled and I assume this is what Fanaskin is talking about. Gun crime 60pc higher than official figures - Telegraph I won't speculate on whether this is true or not. I know Japan has also been accused in the past of monkeying with the stats to make their murder rate look lower than...

M13751095.JPG Not impressed. If he was a real fan he wouldn't have trimmed it in that 38 years either. BTW, I was pissed for years at the Falcons for taking out the Niners and then beating the Vikings in the NFC championship in '99 and stopping the Randall Cunningham/Randy Moss show. My...

Faster CPUs and thinner and lighter are not innovation. That is literally the least you can do if you want to sell a new version. Apple hasn't done anything original since 2007. That doesn't mean that they are not making very good devices, but they are not where you should look for the next...

The point is that there would be a lot less channels and a lot less content in general. Maybe some of them would be the channels you like, maybe they wouldn't, but if you watch the major networks you find out what Hollywood makes when they go for mass appeal. Breaking Bad never would have made...

There's no doubt that having a gun increases your killing power very significantly vs. a knife. It's just an obvious fact and it doesn't really help your cause to make the "knives are just as bad!" argument. I find it interesting that the US has more per capita knife murders than the UK even...

I don't know why I keep torturing myself by opening this thread. If the US was a rifle target, Kansas City would be the bullseye.

Come on. When you are trying to turn an agent then by definition you think that they are not trustworthy. If you think that they are trustworthy then you would be wasting your time trying to turn them.

It depends on the channel. Channels like HBO would love to be sold ala carte. Specialty channels like the Outdoor Life Network or the Speed Channel or something would probably immediately go out of business if not for bundling.

I'm sure they weren't going to "hire to run the secret terrorist organization". Don't be an asshole. There's a reason why people with security clearances are watched very carefully when they get into substance abuse problems, money problems, family problems, etc. That is a great sign that...

It was. If you read the article it was basically a pissing match between Donald Trump and some other uber rich guy and Young was the beneficiary. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy really.

I doubt Young would have been one of the guys to go out and blow his money on rimz and shit, but considering how most NFL players go through their money and wind up broke in 5 years after they're out of the league that would be a pretty good way for a lot of them to have their pay structured...

I don't know about that. Double agents are not exactly unheard of and if they don't smell the trap, the fact that she has been publicly thrown under the bus by her own agency and is totally nanners in the mental hospital would make her a prime candidate to take a run at for a foreign...

This line invalidates anything else you might have said. BBQ chicken and garlic chicken are not pizza. That said, the sicilian pizza from California Pizza Kitchen is usually what I go with if I am going to get a frozen pizza.

Definitely the best line of the episode.

Apple is becoming more of a fashion brand than a tech innovator. Their new watch will play into that as well. As long as they keep being the "cool" devices, they will continue to print money. Most nerds don't give a shit about fashion, but a lot of people do.

You season a pan by coating it with crisco or bacon grease and baking in the oven at 400 degrees for an hour. Alton Brown recommends repeating this yearly but I have never found it to be necessary as long as you cook in it fairly regularly and don't wash it with soap. I only do it if I start...

Is the seasoning fucked up? One time through the dishwasher isn't going to do that much damage, and even if it did you can just re-season it easily. No big deal. Totally worth it to get your kitchen clean.

Followed up a good episode last week with a whole lot of stupid this week. The Tara storyline was just flat ridiculous and seeing Walton Goggins just makes me wish I was watching Justified.

I had a dream last night that I was in a cooking competition being judged by Adam Carolla. I was supposed to make Coq au Vin but there was no wine in the kitchen. For some reason I thought that the only place that I could get wine was from Mandy Patinkin's character from Homeland. I drove...

I think Aryan Stark should have been the redhead.

I'm caught up on the show now and I like it, but it could be a lot better. It's a fascinating story and the two main characters are great, but the supporting cast not so much. Mainly I have trouble with the attempts at humor. There are plenty of awkward situations that should be funny, but...

I like it too. It's not like S1 but I think some posters in this thread are being way too hard on it.

The teams know this as well. You can totally tell that Kaepernick has been strictly forbidden to take a hit. He slides as soon as a defender starts to get close. I think they're being more careful with him than last year also because Alex Smith isn't sitting on the bench ready to go in if he...

Yeah, because there is a loud commercial for a fucking Johnny Knoxville movie playing while you're trying to read it. Fuck ESPN.com and their shitty autoplaying videos.

Is that a crosspost from the rape thread?

The steaming is just to get some of the fat out of them so they will get crispy and not smoke up your kitchen. I can't see any reason doing it the night before would be a problem.

To be fair, they couldn't keep up the pace of season 1 without turning into some cornball shit like "24". Having a new terrorist mastermind come along every few months and get vanquished by the heros would be equally if not more lame.

Tanoomba must be totally humiliated that Quaid showed up in this thread and out-Tanoomba'd him.
