    Thanks for the link. I keep watching this guy despite a joviality that I would normally loathe. The recipes look really good and simple.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    You know way more about this shit than me, mr. plumber. I just thought heating oil cost a lot more per unit of heat than natural gas.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Did you consider bringing in a gas main and buying a tankless heater? Not sure how much you're going to save on heating costs if you're still using oil.

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    You're paying for repairs. Renovations are optional. Tools seem kinda minor cost-wise for what's typically needed around the house for repairs. So, again, you're not saving this money by renting. The landlord should be making you pay by folding it into your monthly payments. I bought a...

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    Someone good with finance explain if that's good or not. Stock market grows at ~7% per year. If I have a 3.75% home loan over 30 years, why should I ever pay it off early, PMI withstanding?

    Are you able to use that for an extended period of time? Seems like the weight and torque of that setup would wear out your wrists and hands very fast.

    Holy shit, that was way too much fucking work. Layer butter with blue cheese just so I can discard the blue cheese and baste the finished steak with the butter? Is iceberg lettuce not perceived as shit in Britain? I don't care what texture it has, if I order a steak that takes that much work...

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    A properly prepared landlord is adding those costs into the monthly payment. So, yes, you're paying for a new roof. The landlord can't just up and raise rent to cover the new roof because he'll lose the tenants to a competing rental. I suspect, perhaps subconsciously, you looked into housing...

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    I don't think that's a fair comparison to make. You're paying the landlord's escrow when you're renting, so what's the difference? Porkchop, as others have said, make sure you look at something called PITI. Principle, Interest, Taxes, Insurance. Sounds like you're only looking at the first...

    You should really cook your leafy greens to unlock the nutrients. I'm not sure the blender blades do this for you.

    Career question

    C/C++'s main problem(compared to Java) is unification, for lack of a better word. You code Java? It works the same pretty much everywhere. Compiler to compiler, platform to platform. I'm generalizing here, I'm sure someone could point out some exceptions. C across platforms and compilers...

    Weird interview/job offer experiences?

    I don't have any side stories to add. Maybe the interview I had a Qimonda(Siemens spinoff for memory technology). Never seen so many socks and sandals before. But a tangent that might lead to some funny stories. Someone hits up your LinkedIn profile about a possible job interview. What's...

    Did you throw in Lupus just so no one could make a joke about it? To be fair, I don't remember what I had for dinner last week either. I mean, I know I had pizza one day. Reubens another day. But I'd really have to sit down and think it through to nail down each specific day. It's...

    Full repercussions of getting email hacked?

    Do these type of exploits only have the ability to send out emails? Or do they basically have full email access? Like Selix, I've got a bunch of important stuff in my gmail account. Though, I run adblock, so would that ever happen?

    I assume you mean SD card...so, never. Don't know about wifi calling. The market is so wide open it's fucking baffling. If you could program an app that will use your current cell phone number to do wifi calling, you could print money. On that note, grooveip has been working for me...

    On their traditional plans, sure. This weird plan that you have to go hunting for, I wouldn't be surprised if you got 100 minutes and that's it. I don't think any prepaid plans have free minutes of any type.

    Totally wrong application for broccoli. Cook time is WAY too long. Came out mushy, didn't it? Quick blanche or baked in the oven drizzled with some oil is how broccoli should be cooked. Have you tried onion powder?

    The hundred minutes is the only thing that makes me hesistant. 1 long phone call in a place you don't have wifi and you're in trouble. And I've gotten used to free nights and weekends. I'm wondering if VZW minutes estimate counts those and ones made to other VZW customers because they're both...

    I am dubious to your substitution claims. But, you can make french onion soup with red onions, so you should give that a try. Caramalized onions too. Use it as a condiment for steak, it's excellent. Or as the mayonnaise layer on your hamburger. Or just put it on your pizza with sriracha...

    Sure, they're allowed to sell their alpha at whatever price they want. I don't trust they have the intelligence or data available to know what sales that will cost them down the road. I wouldn't want to buy from a company that attempts this. It's nickel and dime DLC just under a different...

    Probably because he works with a lot of other knuckledraggers like you. When you pay someone to tell you to drink coconut oil to lose weight, he knows he's not working with the smartest person. If you hadn't gone out and ate a lot, he probably would have made something else up on the spot...

    I don't think this is the right thread for you. There's a reason it(or the leek) is basis of a LOT of cooking in most European cultures. I want to say some Eastern Asian ones too, but my wiki-fu is failing me. French onion soup? Caramalized onions? How can you hate onions?

    Yeah, I just double checked. All new smartphone plans on VZW have unlimited talk and text. Just more reason to allow people to do wifi calling.

    Newer plans with the metered data will have unlimited voice/texts I believe. It's been a while since I checked this, so there's a chance i'm wrong.
