That's cool, I haven't heard of that. We have a family story we always tell on my Mom because she was making chili one time and the shaker top came off the garlic salt and dumped half the canister in there. She scooped it out and served it anyway but it was totally inedible. She later fed it...

I sort of agree. I bet Waltz has as much dialog as Fox, Dicaprio, and Jackson put together in this movie.

Do we really have to debate the career of Seth Macfarland in the Oscar thread? I haven't seen the movie, but Araysar and a fair number of liberals are butt hurt about it because they think it glorifies torture.

That is good, but I like a nice american taco bell style taco as well. Also, that takes about 15 minutes to make vs. several hours of slow cooking.

I sell 5-8 grass fattened cows a year to people who buy halves or quarters and people go nuts for it. I would love to be able to sell a ribeye for $15 but it's not really practical. I do think that grass fed is different and in a good way though. I have eaten it for most of my life so I roll...

Those are for beef short ribs, which is different than baby backs. I fucking love short ribs, but they aren't really football food. I do think that braising is the way to do them though. I haven't made them in a while but that recipe is pretty similar to how I do them. I missed lunch today...

I am with you. It annoys the hell out of me now when I can't use a card, and if I have to write a check then fuck you. That said though, you should really get a credit card instead of using your ATM card. The liability situation is better with credit cards if you get it stolen somehow and...

Dump a cup of heavy cream in her soup.

Is that 10% thing really true? I feel like maybe 1% or less of the people I have known in my life are gay and I used to live in the Bay Area. I realize not everyone is open about it, but I have a hard time believing the 10% thing.

QT rarely discusses the brilliance of anyone but QT. He's quite a douche in interviews. That said, there was an episode of Fresh Air on NPR where he talks about finding Waltz for Inglorious Basterds. He mostly comes across as talking about how great he is for discovering him though...

I thought the new guy was fine but the show sort of sucked last season regardless. As others have said, Batiatus was the real star of the show IMO and with him gone it's just not that compelling. I will still watch the season, but I'm kind of glad it's the last one and my expectations are low...

The other night I had the most pathetic sex dream ever. I dreamed that there had been a big evacuation of some sort and for some reason there were hundreds of people in a big parking lot sleeping in their cars and it was winter. There was a prostitute going from car to car and when she got...

Anybody having a superbowl party this year? I think I'm going to do baby back ribs this year. I will probably smoke them in the Big Green Egg the night before, then reheat them in the oven on Sunday. I will also have hot wings using theAlton Brown methodand sliders. I make the sliders...

You don't give yourself enough credit.

You need a jingle for the radio or some sort of earworm inducing way of putting out your phone number. There are commercials that I heard on the radio 10 years ago that I can still sing off the top of my head. Dial one eight hundred five eight eight, two three hundred, EMPIRE. I don't...

I was just reading about the raspberry pi boards the other day. They should be perfect for what you're doing. What did you figure out for the radio link? Also, are your hardware guys even doing anything if you're just using an off the shelf computer?

This thread is quite retarded.

Good start. Is the black guy the sniper dude from Homeland?

One thing that will keep people coming back is to establish a relationship with them and try to get to know people who come in more than once. I am personally terrible at that sort of things which is why I will never be a good salesman or customer service person, but I did have one LFS that I...

I tend to agree, it would be a much worse sign if you were having trouble getting things done and staying motivated at this stage. Just give it a few months and you will have some idea what your cash flow is going to look like and get through your initial fuck ups and you can get into more of a...

Yeah, if someone is determined to be a dumb ass and put oscars in a little tank after you tell them it's stupid then you might as well get a few bucks out of them. I don't see anything wrong with that. I don't know why they would even have a pacu in their store frankly. 99% of their...

What's your theory on selling meds? I have always felt like if you're a half decent fish keeper and you're buying fish from a good store you should never need any meds, but it sounds like as a fish store operator they might be one of your best moneymakers. When my cousin's fish were dying she...

They don't only do unnecessary tests out of fear of malpractice, it's also a moneymaker for the clinics. The numbers on your bill are also not necessarily what things really cost. Costs in medicine is extremely bizarre. Insurance companies all negotiate prices down and different companies pay...

Do you use Android? Does she play with your phone? I really think that Android is more intuitive than IOS now so I wouldn't anticipate a problem.

This. Also, psychologically it's very hard to feel good about something that was just given to you. I heard an interview with a guy who wrote a book about trying to scientifically study happiness, and he said that while a lot of people are happy after acquiring money that they feel that they...

From what I've heard from other lottery winners I would probably lose my relationships with most of my friends and family (whether or not I gave them money), burn myself out on my favorite hobbies in a couple years, lose all satisfaction in the things my money could buy me, and all satisfaction...

That PC is more than enough for an HTPC. Get yourself a wireless keyboard/mouse, plug the HDMI output into your TV/AV Receiver, and enjoy your HTPC. Do you want to use it for a DVR or just to play Netflix/Youtube/ripped movies/etc?

I useDoggcatcherfor podcasts. I have no complaints. It's a bit expensive as apps go, but money well spent IMO. I am a big podcast junkie and have been using this for like 3 years and have had no desire to replace it. It does have a function to make a queue but I have never used it so I can't...

I think they should change it go GBLT because that sounds like a "Great" BLT which being the best sandwich on the planet would make them more popular.

For those that aren't romantic about shaving, has anyone tried this? http://www.dollarshaveclub.com/ The medium plan is $6 a month and they send four 4-blade cartridges to you in the mail every month. This is a bit more than half the price of Gillette Mach 3 cartridges and you don't...

You could get a Google Voice number and forward it to your cell phone until the new line is hooked up and then forward it to the store line? One kind of nice thing for me about Google Voice at least in this area is that they get a different prefix and there aren't a lot of numbers taken so you...

That's neat. I think it would be more of a 1-way broadcast type situation. Like if you're in a stadium and you want to broadcast an audio stream to everyone on their smart phones or something. It wouldn't really work in a wi-fi like situation where multiple devices are continuously uploading...

Yeah, I get the impression that after getting burned by Verizon on the Galaxy Nexus the Google Phones purpose is more to express Google's ideals than to move a ton of units. Hopefully the fact that they are constantly sold out will inspire other phone manufacturers to emulate it a bit more.

Hah, yeah I'm sure he doesn't understand football the way that you do. Maybe you could arrange some meetings in the off season and explain to him what the NFL is about.

Not too many HoF QB's brought their entire offensive scheme with them when they changed teams either. On the other hand, I think he would be great on TV, if not as a color commentator he could kick Trent Dilfer's ass out and sit next to Steve Young after Monday Night Football. Like others have...

I think if you made it through 2 of the worst recessions in the history of the US which we still haven't fully recovered from and didn't lose any money you should be pretty darn happy. There are tons of people who invested in real estate who would be thrilled with the returns from index funds...

This is really nice. If it were spring/summer I know a spot that I could go to try to copy it. I doubt I will remember until next spring though.

The micro-USB cables that came with my cell phone and kindle look different than the ones I buy from monoprice and the like. Here's a picture, note the 4 slots in the top. I had to trade in my phone a few months back because the USB port would no longer hold the cable and it fell out all...

This is great. I'm not really a fan of the abstract stuff but this picture doesn't look like you were trying to just take a picture of some stuff that makes lines, yet it jumps right out at you. Starting to have trouble remembering what I have posted here and what I haven't.

How so?
