    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I get the impression that Khane has a checklist as long as his arm and the girl that meets everything on it doesn't actually exist.

    My dad used to DROWN everything in salt. Because he put so much on everything, my mom then didn't season anything when she cooked so as a result dad still ate way too much salt, but the rest of us just had to eat bland food. Once I was eating at Wendy's with Dad and realized that we had each...

    International Travel for n00bs

    The question is will it work with their networks. Maybe things have changed with LTE, but it used to be that no Verizon or Sprint phone worked in Europe regardless of the SIM unless it was specifically designated a "world phone" because they don't have CDMA networks over there.

    I never would have guessed that this thread would make me think fondly of the time when we were talking about Astrocreep's movie watching habits.

    Another trick to keep your alfredo sauce from breaking is to put some cream cheese in there. Not authentic italian, but it makes it easier and it tastes delicious. Also, cream lasts for fucking ever. Ignore the expiration date. Cream will last like 2 months in the fridge.

    2014 Emmy Nominations

    I wonder how they decided to make Dinklage a supporting actor. He seems like as much of a lead as anyone on that show.

    You're going to get fucked trying to use a Verizon phone in Europe. Clark Howard always tells people to just buy an unlocked quad-band GSM dumbphone for $20 on ebay and then buy a sim card when you get over there. Use wifi for google maps and such. New Samsung SGH A157 Unlocked GSM Global...

    Sort of, but a lot of illegals have SSNs. Some of them even have taxes withheld by their employers. It may not be their SSN, but they have it.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Or you can just rinse it off after you cut your raw meat. The dishwasher isn't an autoclave, it's no better or worse than just washing the board off with soap and water.

    I've seen all the episodes. It's pretty damn good. Comedy Bang Bang which follows it on the other hand, is not.

    The 'Yet Another Mass Murder' Thread

    Fox news story says "in a home" so this is probably not a random mass shooting type situation.

    I have to say that the border children issue is a much more interesting topic to me than hammering out whether or not Astrocreep has ever done something unethical in his life.

    Maybe, maybe not. Most agricultural crops (wheat, corn, soybeans, etc) are already mechanically harvested, but if the fruit is delicate (strawberries, lettuce, etc) or the plant needs to be left undamaged after harvesting (tree nuts, apples, etc), or both (cherries, raspberries, etc) then that...

    There was a big series in the SF Chronicle a few years back about a Korean girl and they made it sound like a good percentage of the girls working in Asian Massage parlors and various other fronts for prostitution aren't exactly there by choice. It's not slavery in the literal sense where...

    They aren't "faking" the burning faucets, they are just incorrectly attributing it to fracking instead of the fact that they have an improperly vented water well and they live in natural gas country. All About Fracking - Skeptoid

    If that's what your result is cooking a thick piece of meat on a grill then you are completely incompetent at grilling. People grill tri-tips all the time and they are much thicker than that steak.

    I think natural gas is a great option to bridge the gap to whatever will replace fossil fuels. We need to build more cars that run on it. Of course the hippies don't like it because it makes money for oil companies so they make shit up about the horrors of fracking. Personally I think what...

    The Animal Activism Crazy Thread

    Something to consider is that being shot by a hunter is literally the quickest and most painless way that a wild animal can die. It's way better than being torn apart alive by animal predators and/or starving to death in old age because they don't have enough teeth to eat anymore which are...

    Oh good, let's talk about fucking sous vide some more. That grilled steak is cooked way past medium rare so that picture is kind of bullshit BTW. I like my burgers at least medium well. I don't mind a bit of pink in the middle, but if they aren't pretty well cooked through they fall apart...

    This is so fucking sad. I have a really hard time with well done eaters. I kind of hate them. It's so disappointing to go out to eat with someone you like and find out that they are a well done eater. And boiling the chicken breasts before you grill them???? WHAT THE FUCK? I want to kill...

    You sound like someone who has no fucking clue what you're talking about here. I don't hunt, but you're doing some ass talking in this post. Hunting is not dangerous, but it is challenging, and the animals "win" (get away) all the time.

    Home Theater In a Box ?

    Thanks. Sounds like it's not unexpected then. I am fine with it happening and I don't need to play shit that loud, I was just concerned that it meant something was wrong with either the amp or one of my speakers.

    Maybe somebody in this thread could tell me why my Yamaha Receiver can't be turned up to 11. It works fine unless you try to turn it all the way up. It will play for a bit if the content isn't too intense, but as soon as something loud happens, the receiver turns itself off. I assume that it...

    Heating it up won't overcook it unless you take it past the medium rare temp. Put it in a low temp oven and watch the internal temp and it should be nearly as good as the first time. Steak salad is also good.

    Who drinks dark beer on the 4th of July? I like dark beer but when you're outside and it's hot the appropriate beverage is some ice cold watery mass produced American beer from a can. I am going to be hanging out with the family this weekend so I doubt that there will be much drinking, but...
