    Wait a minute, did you just proclaim deep frying, poaching, boiling, and baking as the domain of sous vide? That's so broad as to be essentially pointless. If I cook an egg in a pot of water, using the burner, at 155, it's poaching. If I cook an egg in a pot of water, using an immersion...

    See, I don't get that. I play the same deck minus two fel reavers and I don't have nearly the wins I should(based on what I read here). I have an extra mech yeti and shredder instead. I mean, it's possible I suck. Yeah, that's likely it. I probably don't put nearly the amount of effort into...

    Ugh, ~19 windows. Wish there was something else besides that plastic film stuff. My heating costs aren't really that bad, I average $125/month electric & gas over the course of a year to heat 2100 sqft. New windows aren't going to pay that back for a long time. I just don't like the moisture...

    Oh, I'm definitely a dick. I'll argue shit to death, which I imagine is why Vitality ironically put me on ignore. But perhaps I'm making another wrong assumption. I thought sous vide require the use of those vacuum bags. Otherwise, what's the point in this case?

    That's what I was trying to get at with the British comment. It's especially common in American households with British ancestry to just boil the shit out of their vegetables. The greener they are, the worse the result will be. Besides being unpalatable mush, the overcooking will break down...

    Actually, poach is the correct term. There's no vide going on here.

    idk, never had one myself. I cheat and make a runny fried egg. Basically the same thing except you get nice browning on the boring white and it's much quicker. It's breakfast, I gotta eat.

    Ok, FINE! If boiling an egg to softboil is too hard to manage properly, why not do it at a temperature below boiling?

    Sounds simple, but I'm hesitant of doing any of this home repair stuff. Parts of the drywall are separating from the frame. It's nothing major, just a tiny noticeable crack that I should probably caulk, but even then, I'm hesitant to do anything because I might fuck something even that simple up.

    I can see myself calling up my dad to ask if I was worth it. After explaining that I'm asking because I'm arguing with a bunch of strangers on the internet instead of working, he'd probably say no.

    I was being overly literal, though not on purpose. I've never softboiled an egg and after googling it, the name seems a bit of a misnomer. Why not poach it if boiling is too harsh for timing? Do you?

    Boiling, by definition, is at a specific temperature. Sous vide has no advantage when it comes to boiling eggs, soft or hard.

    Size? I don't know that off the top of my head. I'm going to guess your standard ones that half open except for the larger ones in the dining room, which are twice as big and don't open. No fancy shit like bay windows, if that's what you meant.

    What's the typical cost of replacing windows? Got some old single pane aluminum frame windows, likely originals back when the house was build in 1972. The past couple days have caused a lot of icing despite the humidity being under 40%. I keep the moisture off the drywall and sill(manually)...

    Thanks for putting that into words. I kept trying to start a post where I've never really felt "100% worth it!" or "love him/her more than anything in the world" and kept getting lost after that.

    Hmmmm, crusty meat or pan sauce? I guess you could do both if you crockpot -> sear -> pan sauce, but sear -> pan sauce & crockpot is better pipelined/efficient.

    I find it hilarious that they have to roll out 2.1.2 and season 2 at different times due a database problem. 10 years into WoW and this company still hasn't figured out basic database stuff that real companies figured out years ago. How is weekly day-long maintenance still a thing? And...

    This game is SOOOOO much more easier if you play after ~10PM EST. 3 wins on warlock zoo after dinner took over an hour. 2 more wins around 9:40 took 3 quick games. I'll admit, I'm not the best player and I don't particularly like warlock zoo because it's brainless and lacks good removal. But...

    Just happen to draft that way or did you purposefully do that against better single picks? I'm weary of setting out to draft a specific deck because while I think an agro deck would wreck arena(who's expecting it?), your draft would just end up giving you 5 war golems and pyroblasts.

    Another reason I prefer arena over constructed. You never know when someone's going to play an elven archer or stormpike to ping your 1 health minion. Or a magma charger against a mage.
