    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Google Alton Brown's method for poaching eggs. It is completely foolproof. I do this like 3 times a week and here's how I do it, which is basically how Alton does it. Put water along with a splash (.5-1 tsp) of white vinegar and a big pinch of salt in a non-stick frying pan with a lid and...

    Goldsboro Revisited or: How I learned to Mistrust the H-Bomb

    I'm thinking it was an accident, not a test. They don't intentionally drop intact nukes in an area where it would be unacceptable for it to go off.

    They should add in that there are income taxes paid on all profits the team makes as well as on their employees and also revenues from sales tax and job creation for surrounding businesses (restaurants, bars, memorabilia shops, etc. not to mention temporary construction worker jobs). I don't...

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Anyone who can understand probability well enough to do that can also understand it well enough to not play the lottery.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Yeah and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is just as likely to come up in powerball as any other numbers you could play but I bet nobody plays those because that seems impossible to get.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    I did that simulation 4 times and switched every time and I got the car all 4 times. Then I did it once without switching and also got the car. Clearly either option yields 100% success so this whole thread was pointless.

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Mine came as well about a week ago. It does work but since my internet sucks so bad streaming video is a pretty shitty experience just like it is on every other gadget in my house. Also, I can't control it from a laptop on wifi, only from a computer that is plugged directly into the router...

    I actually do like the sound of the pebble better than the galaxy gear. I think I will wait for the next generation of everything before jumping into the whole watch thing but I like the idea of it.

    Comcast X1?

    Directv's new DVR has 1TB of storage and 5 tuners. I don't think they charge you anything extra for it vs. a regular DVR either.

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Some villains are nice to keep around because they can't win, but then there are some like Little Hantz where no matter how much you would like to be sitting next to them in the final TC, it's not worth having their erratic and annoying craziness around camp for 39 days. I definitely think...

    I missed th first half. Did it only take 1 week for everybody to figure out Philly's super tricky high speed Chip Kelly offense? Or does Vick just suck?

    Yeah, cost of living varies drastically from place to place. When I was in the bay area I was making $80K a year and living in a 1 bedroom apartment for $1200 a month. Buying even a decent condo would have been double that. My brother in MT was making like 60K and buying a pretty nice house...

    Translation: I hate my job and should have chosen something different but I'm secure in my misery and don't have the balls to try something different. I haven't had a job I didn't like since I was a security guard in college and wouldn't stay at one that I disliked.

    Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch

    They're going to have to get the prices down to the $150 range for these things to take off I think. On the other hand, I don't think having the watch be an autonomous device would be a good idea. All those radios will kill the battery life and for what? So you don't have to have a phone in...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Colton is 1000 times worse than he came across on this episode. It looks like the real Colton will be back next week. i am sort of interested in his partner just to see what kind of person voluntarily spends time with Colton.

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Glad to see this thread is going to be a full season bitchfest. The loved one thing definitely adds a different dynamic. Basically everything you do to help yourself potentially hurts your loved one, and it's clear that they're going to go out of their way to put people in positions where...

    Okay. From Siddar's post I assumed it was some sort of obvious Halo or CoD reference or something that I didn't get.

    None of these jobs involve wiping shit off of an old lady. Nursing on the other hand, does. That said, an RN is pretty much never going to be out of work.

    Insults only work on you if they are something you're already insecure about. You can't go up to some skinny dude and go "hey lardass" and plan to upset him (anorexic women are the exception to this one). No one is insecure or has an inferiority complex about being white with the possible...

    It's generally safe to assume that right on red and U-turns are legal if there isn't a sign specifically saying otherwise.

    Boston pedophile planned to kill and eat children(w/ bonus dungeon pictures)

    They don't have to do that kind of stuff. Since our campaign finance system makes it so corporations and special interests get to pick who gets elected, they just make sure the guys that get elected are people who are willing to do what they're told if they want to keep their job. An...

    They should change the name to the Washington DC Honky Crackers. The guys from Duck Dynasty could be their mascot.

    Also keep in mind that the only way to get rich in America is to start a business. You might have a good living working for some big corporation, but you'll never have more than that. In addition, running your own business is something that's easy to be passionate about. From your posts in...

    Figure out what you're passionate about and do that. Only go to school if it's something you have to do to get where you're going, but a college degree is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Picking a career based on the average starting salary of a college grad is a good way to get into...

    Considering the fact that people with security clearances are told not to draw attention to themselves in public there sure seem to be a lot of people who are anxious to brag about it on the internet.

    D.C. Naval Yard Shooting

    Kind of sad, but if you have a job that requires a security clearance, that probably makes you less likely to seek help for mental health problems because you'd be afraid of losing your clearance which would also cause you to lose your job.

    Gun control

    Back then the US did not maintain a large standing army when we were not at war. As Lithose said though, the purpose of the Bill of Rights is to limit the power of government to infringe on the rights of the individual, so an amendment allowing the government to arm their own militias doesn't...

    Boston pedophile planned to kill and eat children(w/ bonus dungeon pictures)

    Yeah, I'm sure everything served in Chipotle's 1400 restaurants was raised by a guy with a little red barn and a 1950's pickup truck. Fucking cynical hypocrites.

    Listened to an interview about this show on "Fresh Air" a couple weeks ago. It sounds like an interesting story. I'm planning to watch.

    If this show wasn't such garbage I would never have read a spoiler like that. I will be very surprised if it isn't legit.

    Just watched the episode tonight and I think it's clear that the writers all walked on this show and the last season was written by interns. The difference between the last few episodes of this show and the last few episodes of Breaking Bad that are happening at the same time are night and day...
