Nobody has a HP48G? I have a TI-81 too but once you use an RPN calculator you can't go back.

Is there no "bang for your buck" brand? I have been unhappy lately with Hanes just because they don't last but it seems like the choices go from 5 pairs of hanes for $15 directly to the $25-$35 a pair shit. I see that MeUndies start at $24 a pair but you can buy a 10 pack for $150. Maybe I...

I know that kind of thing can happen, but I'm not going to put any effort into worrying about it.

From what I've read the WSM is a great smoker but if you're going to use charcoal you are going to have to babysit it to keep the temp constant at least some. If you don't mind that it's probably a great option. If you want a more set it and forget it option you might think about a propane or...

I have also heard that one California dairy cow produces as much milk as 6 cows in Mexico or like 10 in India.

Yeah, fuck NiCad. A lithium one will be *much* better both with regard to power and to charge time/run time. Do you have any other cordless power tools? Makita at least makes some nice trimmers that work with their lithium batteries that go with their cordless drills and shit. I have the 18V...

This isn't a place to educate yourself but this short podcast addresses a lot of common concerns about GMOs from a scientific perspective. GMO Facts and Fiction

On short notice tonight I found out that I had 5 big rib eyes to cook at my Mom's house and she has the world's shittiest gas grill that varies from lukewarm to medium heat depending on what part you use. I have cooked steaks on it before and it was a total shit show so I didn't want to do...

I toured an organic vegetable farm a few months ago and it's a terrible way to farm. Those poor bastards had to work so fucking hard to fight weeds that I just felt sorry for them. My beef with organic is that it rules out common sense. There are situations where using less pesticide or doing...

That's part of the problem. All you have to do to send dumb people into a panic is say "They're putting the chemicals in our foods!!!!!" and who cares whether or not it's true. "They're being mean to the animals!" works just as well.

With regard to Monsanto "abusing" farmers, if you don't want to agree to their terms, all you have to do is not use their seed. It's not like non-patented seed isn't available and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. Farmers buy fancy seed because it makes them money and it's only...

Keep in mind that the alternative to betting the farm on Luck is to let him be a free agent. I don't think any GM would consider that a reasonable thing to do. I wonder what it would have been if he didn't have a bad season last year.

Well to date no court has ever wanted to look at my phone nor is there anything on my phone that I would want to hide from a court so I'm not too concerned about it. Before the fingerprint reader my phone wasn't locked at all.

They should really just show Dany and her army slowly sailing across the sea for the first six episodes. It will be super realistic.

Same here, I love it. It's way faster to open my phone with that than when I had no security whatsoever and just had to hit the power button and then swipe up. I had an LG G3 with volume and power buttons on the back and that was retarded but it's a great place for the fingerprint scanner.

107 Nobel laureates sign letter blasting Greenpeace over GMOs - The Washington Post

It's just going to be tough to find somebody that wants to work in a fish store as a "career". They're either going to look at it as a temporary job or they're going to be a loser. I've always thought college students were your best bet for this kind of job because although there are plenty of...

Totally. Remember S1 when people were making posters just to keep track of who was who? Like 80% of the cast is dead now. You should be able to pay the remaining stars handsomely.

Or they are so set on hating this season that they are grasping at straws.

Crazy finale. Cersei = Hardcore. I loved her sitting on the iron throne in her black leather armor to signify that she is now 100% evil. I think she will get to be there for about 20 minutes before Dany destroys whatever is left of her army and Arya slits her throat, but it was still awesome...

This is 100% not true. There are plenty of electricians, pipe fitters, welders, even plumbers making $30-$40 an hour. Some of them aren't even in unions and if that's not enough for you then get a master's license and start your own company. There are tons of jobs in these fields and no kids...

John also did the exact opposite of what Davos told him to do. It wouldn't be very Stark-like of either John or Sansa to do something clever. If there's a characteristic of all of the Starks in this show it's that they are ruled by their emotions and not their brains. Smart people try to get...

I picked them up a couple weeks ago. I love the fact that this show went 6 seasons and never jumped the shark. It came with a flask but I think a mason jar full of apple pie would have been more appropriate.

Vinyl was very flawed but it was nowhere near as bad as John From Cincinnati.

Same here. I probably would have watched S2 but it would have felt like a chore.

Yeah, fried mac and cheese is pretty solid. It just looks like those are dyed orange to look like cheetos but they could be pretty good.

This goes on in every thread. My theory is that it's just so easy to win these arguments that people can't resist doing it. It's an utter waste of time though, you won't convince the retard and everyone else already knows that he's wrong.

Good post. I agree.

I forgot to mention this was yet another coming out party for Dany. That dude is going back to slavers bay to tell them "Hey you remember that girl with the baby dragons who we foolishly gave a few thousand soldiers to and she embarrassed us with them? Well we went to pay her back and it turns...

I definitely think we've reached a point were a lot of the people here are starting the episode with the plate of cat shit already under their nose. Possibly they started the whole season that way since it's the first one that is ahead of the books. Seriously folks, it's a lot more enjoyable to...

I'm glad Rickon is dead. Nothing against him, I just didn't want another story line to follow.

Is After the Thrones available immediately online or something? My DVR doesn't pick it up until Monday night.

I don't know this but I bet it was based on theBattle of Cannaewhere Hannibal wiped out an 86,000 man Roman army in a very similar tactic. Great battle scene though, and great episode even though we all knew the knights of the vale were going to save the day.

I helped do that with beef roasts once. Never heard of doing it with ribs.

Flank steak was on the menu at a local restaurant here for a while and I had it once and it was great. They even claimed to cook it directly on hot coals. They took it off the menu though and I haven't really seen it anywhere else.

Yeah, it hasn't been too common in restaurants and such just because it's an unusual presentation and not what people think of when they order a steak. It's fucking great though, and unfortunately the word is out on it so it's not cheap anymore. Another thing I almost never see in Montana...

Sear it over very high heat, as hot as you can manage. Cook it medium rare, let it rest, and then slice it thin across the grain. Make it this way it's as good as any steak IMO.

I kinda like that "After the Thrones" show on HBO. They really just picked 3 nerds to talk about the show and resisted the urge to put a comedian or something on there so good on them for that. I also noticed that they had aDragon Egg Cookie Jarin the background. I think I need one of those.

You are doing your skirt steak wrong sir.

My impression was that Varys was grooming Aegon but then decided to scrap that idea when someone better (Dany) came along, although I don't think we quite reached that point in the books.
