    Quick, name me something that weighs 40 lbs. That is not a weight people deal with commonly, so they can't just look at you, after you've changed already, and accurately eyeball how much more you should lose. They just think "40 is a lot!". I still get shit from my family about being too...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    WTF is a pudding cake? Any resident Brits care to explain? I looked up a nutrition label for pudding cake, which she says she eats at least 6 servings("a pack of 2-4, I'll eat 3 of those"), that's 900-1800 calories right there.

    Storing large DVD collection

    Because we're smarter than the average copyright violator. Honestly, I could be totally talking out my ass, but I feel even the meager protections I use(peerguardian 2 and private trackers) is still much much better than what the average person does when torrenting. Which is practically...

    Eh, I guess I'll revisit Plex when I have multiple TVs, whenever that is. Still dubious. You go through the trouble of sanitizing filenames you just downloaded? I don't think you can do that while the torrent is still being shared.

    The setup involved with my Boxee Box was to find my shared folder on my computer and add it to the "My Sources". And it cost $180. Seems pretty easy and cheap to me. BTW, Plex's scraper got some of my shows wrong. It translated some of the American Pie movies into "American Heritage...

    I am a little confused about what plex offers. If your device is powerful enough to stream and decode the file directly from the source, and almost all phones/tablets/set top boxes are these days, what do I get from plex?

    For that application, probably. The cold from the ice cream will make it hard and brittle, as well as giving a slightly grainy mouthfeel. Which, along with the ice cream itself(unless it's soft), will ensure you squish the shit out of the donut as you try to bite through the whole thing...

    Give it another year or so. Phone hardware is starting to eclipse a what's needed for a fluid experience on everything but gaming(i.e. 99% of smartphone users). Up until maybe even this cycle(snapdragon 800), newer phone actually meant a better experience. I'm sure Android will find a way to...

    Whiskey

    I 100% realize I'm being a cheapass, but I compare the prices versus what I usually drink(rum or gin) and I can a lot more resulting drink(cocktails) from those than I can with whiskey. Not a fair comparison, but whatever. Very surprised to read someone recommending Trader Joes to save money.

    I was being sarcastic. I don't like wings either. Too messy and there's too much mystery stuff that's unpleasant to eat. Chewy skin, cartilage, unrendered fat, bones, ugh. Too much work for a little amount of meat. And ranch(i.e. buttermilk dressing) basically shouldn't exist. I can't...

    Whiskey

    I still don't enjoy most beersBut I do like a good whiskey. Shame my wallet doesn't. I'll be honest though, as long as it's a whiskey, I don't really care. Are people that specific that they can tell the difference between a whiskey made from a 51% corn/grain mash and something made from rye?

    More charred, crispy exterior relative to overall burger mass? Burgers are about the only place you can get away with that because it's ground meat and usually served with some or a lot of fat, thus making overcooking more forgiving.

    Cottage cheese is SLIGHTLY cheaper than ricotta, but I don't see how one is lazier than the other. As for your picky GF, I believe that's perception of effort, not that it's actually helping(it may be). She went through the extra effort make her kids dinner and ask the butcher to grind up...

    I don't get the bechamel sauce part. It's a roux(flour + butter) and milk. With all the other ingredients in a lasagna, you are not going to taste that. Bechamels are usually used a bases for other sauces or creamy soups, where the thickening power of the roux makes sense. It doesn't in a...
