    The Fishing Thread

    That looks more like a recreational paddling kayak versus anything you can really fish out of effectively. I mean I'm sure it would probably work, but I don't see where you're going to have a lot of storage for tackle and what have you. I guess a good question would be what type of water are...

    Robert Jackson Bennett

    I didn't do that for a long time but with traveling I just found I could always get hours of reading in when on the road. If I pick up a book and lay down on the sofa read I always fall asleep. The audio versions are both phenomenal for those two books. I'm pretty critical when I get books...

    Robert Jackson Bennett

    Are you doing the audio versions? Both are fantastic novels, but his work sort of tapers off afterwards, or at least the other stuff that I've read by him. I do need to check out his fantasy series though.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    The oil in the pesto doesn't give it a weird greasiness? I ask because anytime I tried putting fat, like butter or oil in with a protein, it was disgusting. The fat started to break down and it's like everything was just coated in slime. The stupid hipsters that make Jule presear and put...

    The Running Man

    He's got some good stuff past that period, but his coke fueled / case of tall boys days was his best period. It gets pretty hit and miss after his accident and the full onset of TDS.

    The Fishing Thread

    Went out to fish a bit this afternoon because it's so nice out. Couldn't get a bass to bite despite pitching stuff in their path, tough pond. Did manage to hook my fifth catfish on the fly, and on the two-hander, too. Had to play it on the reel, and as light as that rod really is, it was...

    Civil War (2024)

    You're absolutely right. I typically enjoy his movies, but I tried watching it a couple of times and it's just blah. It's not that the actors don't give great performances was just dull.

    Fallout

    The guy had hairy legs in the hospital scene. He could argue that people wouldn't bother with that sort of hygiene, but it's definitely something noticeable.

    Thanks, I never bought the game and almost picked it up over Christmas. Guess I'll finally give it a whirl.

    Speak No Evil (2024)

    This is a remake of a Danish film that's on streaming already. Speak No Evil (2022) ⭐ 6.6 | Drama, Horror, Thriller Watching the trailer and was thinking hey I've already seen this film. The originals okay.

    Was going to say isn't that her first role. She's pretty hot in that Lars von Trier movie, can't remember the name, about the end of the world.

    Fallout

    Hell yeah, RIFTS was great. Such a cool world, or worlds. System was kinda clunky, don't believe they ever revised it. Think the last character I played was a Mega Juicer in a brief campaign in college. Think my favorite dimension book was Wormwood, such a cool idea. All of their stuff was...

    That's a pretty great song and fucked up video. I haven't watched it in eons.

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    Because I'm a fucking guy and identify as one. I just can't immerse myself into a game if I'm playing a woman, my brain doesn't work that way. Shouldn't be a hard concept and should be pretty normal for most guys. Again it's different if it's a movie or book, but if I'm the one who's playing...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    I mean I understand it's going to cost a bit more, but you figure with at least people like me I'd be willing to pick it up and play it, whereas I don't want to have to be pigeon-holed into playing strong waman. It's just those other two games did such a good job of allowing either character...

    Saw an article about this today, and could be fun, or at least worth a purchase during a sale.

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    As a middle aged man, I've always dreamed of playing an empowered female rogueish character in the Star Wars universe. Finally my dream will come true! I'm sorry but I just have a real hard time getting myself invested into a video game story where it forces you to play a female. It's...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    That's a fantastic documentary. All of his movies are pretty wild, and had he got Dune of the ground it definitely would have been a historic spectical.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Are you velveting or marinating the chicken when your sous viding? I mean I guess you can't use the egg and it because it'll cook, but do you do it before and maybe wash the marinade off, or is it just straight cooked chicken, nothing fancy?

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    What cuts? I'm assuming boneless skinless thighs? How long do you cook it for, and what don't you like about it? I'm just generally curious because I haven't ever cooked it that way.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Haha, sounds like the same reasons as you. I was using it pretty often, specifically for steak, but I started using my Slow n Sear on the kettle grill with the cold grate method. Found I was getting better crust and still cooked perfectly. I also do a lot more reverse sear with bigger cuts...

    That's a decent price for both. My sous vide is one of the earlier gen Anovas, but I couldn't tell you the last time I used it.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I buy the rolls and cut my bags. Learn pretty quick to leave a better running room so juices down get into the vacuum area. Think ours is a KIOS or something like that. It's was maybe half the price of your Anova, but I know that brand makes good stuff. If mine shits out, I'll upgrade to one.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I've really been thinking about swapping out my chest freezer. It's not exactly huge because I didn't have a bunch of space but I think I only paid a hundred bucks for it. $300 is pretty cheap, I think would make it a hell of a lot easier to find what I'm looking for. I would just run two but...

    I never saw that movie because it looked like shit. She was pretty good looking in Last Night in Soho though. Definitely has a unique appearance / beauty compared to most celebrity women.

    MaXXXine

    Goth, I remember her from The Survivalist. That's a pretty fucked up post apocalypse independent film. Worth a watch. I do think Joy is probably one of the best actresses out there now. I guess typically when I see her it's a decent enough movie, and maybe she's getting big enough to where...

    MaXXXine

    This actually looks interesting, and A24 seems to have a pretty decent track record. Normally when I see their logo that's at least something I'll at least give a chance. I haven't seen X or Pearl, are they any good?

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I bought one for maybe 40 bucks or so of Amazon with decent reviews. I've noticed that sometimes I'll need to press on the bag when vacuuming to assist the air out. I'll also sometimes double seal it just in case, but it's been pretty decent, especially for the price. I looked at that...

    Robert Jackson Bennett

    Oh wow, go read Mr.Shivers and Company Man. If you do audible get the audio versions, both are wonderfully narrated. I just do a lot of audiobooks because I travel a bunch for work, and a beats listening to classic rock over and over. I think those are his two first novels, and they're...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Yeah, the wife had picked up some chicken wings that were 25% off last weekend, and my plan was to vacuum pack them and toss them in the freezer. Completely forgot they were in the fridge, when to pull them out and check them and oh God. We buy a lot of clearance meat when we find it, and...

    The Fishing Thread

    You can't go wrong with Jackson. I think they also used to have a purely sit on top kayak that I believe is a tandem call The Big tuna. I might be mistaken on if it's tandem though but I thought it was. I haven't looked at their lineup in a long time, but that might also be an option if you...

    Yeah Craigslist will typically net you some decent results depending upon your area, as long as you're not going to get robbed by some jogger. If you can find a used boat though I'd be all over that.

    The Fishing Thread

    You got a few options. I was going to suggest a Jackson Kilroy Tandem, but it looks like they don't make it any longer. It's a sit inside hybrid, but they're fast boats. I've got the singular one for the wife, but I fish out of it all the time. The other option you could do is a NuCanoe...

    I haven't checked out his new books, but I got Mr.Shivers on audible not long after it came out, and I probably listen to it once a year when I'm traveling. Of all of his works it's definitely my favorite, but Company Man is really good too. I think he's actually a Texas if I'm not mistaken...
