Yeah, just like how some people cannot eat brussel sprouts. There is a compound in them that only some people can taste.

So.. apparently Demonoid is coming back? http://www.d2.vu/ EDIT: See post below, don't click or try to login. Thanks elidib.

So the Game of Thrones cookbook http://www.amazon.com/Feast-Ice-Fire.../dp/0345534492 goes through the books and, near as possible, makes a traditional medieval recipe that matches the described cuisine and then has a recipe for a more modern equivalent, but they have a whole section on...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 By far the best ant killer I have ever used. I lived in an apartment that had the same thing (built into a hill) and when it rained I would get flooded with ants. I found all the cracks they were coming through and powdered this stuff in...

By sharpener I assume you mean a honing steel. You should buy a nice one regardless, but Shun's have actual free sharpening for life. Just ship them to Shun and they'll sharpen them and send them back.

Hypnosis is a pretty complicated skill. I had been reading/experimenting with it for ~5 years before I made a girl orgasm without touching her. Cutlery is right in that it doesn't work if people don't want it to, though since most women want to to orgasm but don't (certainly not without being...

Unless she has some kind of malformation in her brain, I doubt that. 10-15% of womendon'torgasm. Which isn't to say that they can't, but a lot of women are raised to think sex is bad and they have a lot of guilt feelings associated with it. That makes it hard to enjoy. I have a rather unique...

A munch is a get together, usually at a restaurant or bar or whatever, that anyone can come to just socialize and get to know each other. Most BDSM/Swinger/Whatever groups insist you come to at least a few munches before they'll invite you to participate in "play" parties.

Well, there is a lot to be said for properly dry aging the meat (which will make any steak better). And sure, all the cuts of of real Kobe that can be turned into steaks are, but that leaves you with a lot of leftover cow to try things with. The only time I had real Kobe I was in Japan... for...

There is also a difference in the taste, but basically you're right, and anyone who wasted real Kobe on it would be stupid. But pre-2010 unless you were in Japan, you weren't eating Kobe anyway. Now Japan exports avery smallamount of real Kobe to high-end restaurants around the world. The thing...

Just remember Cheesecake is basically a custard. Treat it like one and it'll always come out perfect.

http://thepiratebay.se/tv/2599/ Strangely it doesn't seem like anyone ever made a single torrent with all the episodes and I can't find the 13th episode with a quick search. From the comments the seeds come and go, but you should get them down eventually. You can grab the other torrent files...

Any decent blender can be cleaned by adding water+soap and blending it. Pour it out. Rinse. Clean blender.

The torrent site undergroundgamer has a long list of people who work to put all the games from each system into torrent packs, including box art, manual, ROM, etc., I have invites if you'd like to look it over, just PM me your e-mail address. Each system obviously has its own emulator, but you...

A lot of the "perfect" ROM Collections you can find on the internet have the game manuals scanned in and included as pdfs. I don't really have enough time to play games anymore, but the fact that I have every game from every system PSX and earlier, manuals included (a few are missing, but the...

I remember a report by McAfee that said they felt that RMT in MMOs was a clear and present danger because it allowed people to anonymously convert foreign currencies into U.S. currencies in large quantities and get it into the U.S., money laundering (for drugs and such) also was a concern. We...

Read all three books in a day. Feel like I wasted a day. The premise is pretty interesting, but I feel like there should be some rhyme or reason to the Wards and people could just figure that shit out, given a large enough sample size of known working wards and what they did. You can kind...

Also responsible for the wide spread use of the word "Avatar" to denote an in-game representation of the player.

There are water, alcohol, and fat soluble flavors (tomatoes have all three, which is why all good tomato sauce recipes involve an alcohol and a fat). Cooking things with those flavors in those mediums opens them up and makes them available to your palette. Chilis "fruity" flavors are all fat...

This is close to true. More metal is better, but when you have an enormously hot thing radiating heat, that heat is going somewhere. Most of it is going up and hitting the food regardless. A thick pan that fits the burner, regardless of what it is made out of, is actually the best pan you can...

Vitamixes are great... for professional cooks who want to be able to make hot soup in a blender because the blades are powerful enough to heat the liquid to boiling through friction. And yes, it will destroy ice/whole veggies/whole fruits (maintains the fiber content). Also makes fantastic...

Second episode is up http://penny-arcade.com/2013/03/05/s...arch-episode-2

Duck is a really good example. You want that crunchy skin. Being able to get that skin on a duck with any traditional method of cooking consistently is near enough to get you employed at any French restaurant anywhere. But doing it Sous-vide you can render the fat out without burning...

You can sear the meat either before or after Sous-vide, depending on the meat, duration, final application, etc. Also you don't always want the browning, crack an egg and vacuum seal it, then Sous-vide it. The colors stay perfect and it is so good. It is like any other cooking technique, you...

The Nokimu, when it ships, will be $359. Pretty reasonable. The next most expensive thing is like $450 right now on Amazon. Considering they used to run in the thousands, I'd say Sous-vide is pretty reasonably priced these days. However there is an alternative solution. Take any crock pot or...

http://www.penny-arcade.com/strip-se...tists-assemble Penny Arcade's reality web show to find the next big web comic artist had its first episode posted today. I was a little leery of this when they put it on their Kickstarter, but it actually seems like it might be pretty interesting. First...

310 vs 288.

Fagor is consistently rated the best pressure cooker brand by Cooks Illustrated. I love mine, personally. ~$20 bucks more or so then other brands. When you start experimenting with pressure cookers the thing to remember is that it cuts cooking time by 1/4, so a four-hour stew is now a one-hour...

S. I. Hayakawa's Semantic Amendment would be my choice, it gives anyone the right to challenge the legality of any law on the question of "Can a reasonably intelligent person understand this?" If the answer is no: law is automatically repealed. Considering there is a lot of effort put into...

Google Voice number. Easy.

He has said multiple times his business is in the Midwest (in the old thread).

Sigh. Again, feel free to Google it. We lived longer before agriculture. It isn't like I am anything but the messenger here, but sure, feel free to ignore the entire field of Anthropology and all its arguments and conclusions.

Except they did. Google it, or go back a few of my posts and check the study. Living to 72 withno medical technology of any kindjust isn't something that happened once we turned to agriculture. Even the median age (35.4) went down (33.5) till the Bronze age, so 7,000 years of not living as long...

1. It isn't "my" paleo diet. 2. Experts in the field agree there are a lot of variables, but it is a valid theory, and does have evidence supporting it. The evidence is simply not conclusive enough for the standards of science. Butscientistsaren't dismissing it, so a layman doing so is just...

Has evidence supporting it, scientists who specialize in the field think it is a valid theory, and it has not been scientifically disproven isthereason not to bash it, actually. If I am recapping points it is because people are repeating things that are clearly contradicted by those points...

But I am the messenger, none of this research is mine and I don't have an opinion, because it is merely a correlation, no causation has been proven and if that is where the scientific community is at (and it is) then why would I claim to know more than them? This all started because someone said...

Yeah... in the study I linked. The one that says we started dying younger. Or you could google it. Or you could go ask any handy anthropologist, as it is common knowledge in their field, and one of their greatest debates is precisely why that is true. I even outlined several of the prominent...

It isn't a matter of what Ibelieve. Serious scientists hold the opinion it may be the case and it is their specialty, there is evidence to support it, but not definitive evidence either way because of a lack of controlled studies, which is why it is one of a handful of primary theories about why...

Again, Harvard is comparing eating more refined flour vs eating a smaller amount of whole grains. They are not even considering the option of simply eating no or very small amounts of grains. That is a change that will have the effects they say it will. It is just that not eating any or eating...
