You can only receive constructive criticism from someone that you respect/trust. If you don't have a real relationship with her and you're not in a position of authority over her, she's probably just going to get defensive and the end result is going to be her going "fuck that guy" and...

This guy said that the thing that all the diets that work (paleo, atkins, south beach, etc.) have in common is that they are low in sugar, high in fiber. He also said something about whole grain bread being pretty worthless because grinding the grain ruins the effect of the fiber or something...

I've been meaning to mention Epicurious.com in this thread. Great recipe site if you want the "fancy" version of things. Unlike some sites where anyone can put up a recipe, theirs are all from cooking magazines and have most likely been tested by people who know what they are doing.

Sounds like about the same sample size that you're basing your assertions about Macs on.

You won't find a bigger disciple of Mr. Brown than me, but he is a huge pussy when it comes to dealing with chicken. I routinely ignore all safe chicken handling guidelines and have never gotten sick. I follow my Mother's lead and she leaves things out even over night sometimes. I have not...

I heard and interview on NPR's "Science Friday" yesterday with a guy that seemed to make a lot of sense to me. He is a scientist, and according to him sugar is the big problem. Here's the interview: http://www.sciencefriday.com/segment...es-of-fat.html Here's the book:

The thought crossed my mind as well. Padma likes to surround herself with fat girls.

His story is that she told him that she didn't want him to miss a game to come to her funeral. Total bullshit but that base was covered in a half-assed way.

Kind of. I don't really buy the "It's not that he did it, it's that he LIED". You have to lie, if you were in a position where you had to choose to tell a lie or lose your entire career and means of income, you would lie too. No doper has ever come forward or admitted what he was doing while...

I get annoyed at this "don't come to work sick" argument because nobody ever calls in sick for more than 1-2 days even though it's already been explained that they are contagious from before they have symptoms until they get over it. Do you really think that taking a day or two out of your two...

That's why I'm interested. Does everyone think that being openly gay = no NFL career? It's a bit surprising to me that everyone seems to make this assumption in this day and age.

It does seem like a lot of this stuff belongs in the book thread. Not for spoiler reasons, just because most of the discussion has very little to do with the show and I think once the show starts airing commentary on the episodes and the endless wild speculation about future books will be...

Yeah, I thought Padma and Gail were going to have to wrestle for it (I don't think Padma would have a chance with Gail's weight advantage, but she does have more reach, either way I would buy this match on PPV.) It really looked like Kristin decided before they started that if her restaurant...

It's just celebrity schadenfreude. Any time something bad happens to a famous person there is a certain group who's going to line up and cheer about it. Cycling is a bit like Nascar in that it's boring as shit to watch if you don't understand the team dynamics. The year Floyd Landis won I...

There's tons of people in Hollywood that are trying to make movies. Some of them are able to convince someone with money that it's worth giving them a shot. The big movies pay for the little ones. I've heard Adam Carolla talk a lot about making his movie "The Hammer" and it had a budget of 1...

If he comes out as gay I'm really curious to see how that effects his draft stock. Of course we won't really know if it's the gay or the insane that could cause him to drop.

I guess this thread never made it over from FoH. Just got to say that it's a god damn crime that my girl Kristen went home because she wasn't willing to throw that cow Josie under the bus. If she doesn't win Last Chance Kitchen and Josie doesn't get the fuck off my TV in the next two weeks then...

Picked up a 60" Vizio LED TV yesterday and it's so damn wonderful. It's really another level vs. my old 40" Samsung LCD. I watched the Avengers bluray and it was the best movie experience ever outside of a movie theater. I sit 14 feet from my TV and I have had the feeling that 40" wasn't...

I have 3 windows 7 machines in my house that run 24-7 and none of them have ever crashed that I can recall, they update themselves in the middle of the night, and I have never experienced any of the things you have mentioned. I don't have mass data of Windows 7 vs OSX but Windows 7 is extremely...

Don't think I have experienced any of these things since Windows 7 came out? Or even the last service pack of XP.

It has been proven in this thread that you can't buy a computer that is equal to an apple for less than an apple as long as you stipulate that every single component is exactly the same including apple patented features and also that it is made by apple.

I know several people with those ruggedized flip phones. I'm not positive it's the same brand but I think it is. They are very hard to break. My cousin did manage to break the screen on his, but it was from doing something retarded like throwing it against the wall. Despite the screen cracks...

Good question. I have never encountered anyone in real life or on the internet that actually owns and uses a 3D TV at home.

This is true. The tests can't catch you if you dope perfectly. Almost everyone that got busted fucked up in some way. Armstrong is an insane dictator/control freak that will make sure that everything is perfect every time. His bike was adjusted to the fraction of a millimeter and his doping...

As cool as a big aquarium in the front window would be, that is way too much light. The thing would be full of algae and it would be a full time job making it not look like shit.

An easy to make spicy food is stir fry. Get the red pepper flakes and put them in the oil as it heats up and then add your meat and veggies when the wok/pan is good and hot. The more flakes you put in, the hotter it will be. You can also put some of the aforementioned siracha on at the end...

Everyone in my family insists on taking "Airborne". I have told several of them about how it does nothing and even showed them stories about how the company got sued and had to take all the claims about it doing anything off of the packaging. Do they give a fuck? Not at all. They just look...

Have you ever seen a broken laptop case? I haven't. My $250 plastic acer netbook has fallen off my TV tray onto the hardwood floor half a dozen times with no ill effects. How do you drop your computer from 6 feet? Were you holding it above your head? Wearing it as a hat?

The insurance isn't for that kind of thing, it's for when they tell you that you do have cancer and the bill would financially destroy you if you had to pay it yourself. That said, yes it is a racket.

I do pork chops a lot like the steak method that was linked earlier. I like to season them with lemon pepper. Put equal parts butter and oil in a pan (preferably cast iron) and heat it until the butter starts to smoke and throw in the chops and don't move them for 2-3 minutes depending on how...

The cap is by far the worst part. I could actually upgrade to like 12 mB but with the same data cap I see no reason to. 3mB is fine for surfing and more speed would just make me want to do things that would destroy my cap in an hour.

Did the cable say "charging only" or can you use it to transfer data if you hook it up to your computer as well? I did have some "charge only" cables and they might only have the +5V and Ground wires and the other two are not even there, which would un-short them. If it works for data though...

Explain what this means. Be specific.

If a Mercedes had the exact same internals as the Mini but a fancier body it would be a decent analogy.

Sony shit is also ridiculously overpriced and marketed to people who care more about fashion than function. Doesn't mean that makes macs costing twice as much as they should a good value.

Apparently Carolla Digital and How Stuff Works are being sued by a patent troll company that claims to have a patent on podcasts. They have already successfully sued just about every company that distributes podcasts and gotten a license agreement and now they're going after the podcasters...

Yeah I felt like the monoprice cords fucked out the receptacle on my phone and then no cord would stay in it. What kind of charger are you using? Android phones have "usb" charging mode and "AC" charging mode. In USB mode it will only draw 500 mA so you don't overload your USB port but in...

Paraphrased. Not that I disagree lol.

The USADA isn't a court of law. He hasn't been criminally or civilly prosecuted yet as far as I know. I don't think the evidence requirements to ban someone from sports are at quite the same level as a criminal court.
