    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Yes, fuck these people. I have seen that at my old office as well. The only explanation I can think of is that they are done drinking coffee for the day but want to make it look like they didn't take the last cup and leave the pot empty because nobody thinks that shit is drinkable.

    Maybe you should work there. I feel the same way. It was not a great scene but worth it to see Missandei smiling.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I'm not above being a snob sometimes but I can't do it with coffee. I have drunk 1000 gallons of Folgers in my life and I think it tastes fine. The only way to make coffee that I don't like is to make it too weak or with shitty water. My brother has a fancy burr grinder and he grinds beans...

    The grill was a rental sadly, but yeah it was awesome. It was arguably a really stupid idea to do a pig on a grill we had never used before when we needed to feed 300 people but it turned out great.

    I have one of those and it's definitely better than nothing, but it's still not exactly set it and forget it. The one I have is the stoker.

    God damn you. I have been obsessively reading about Yoder pellet grills ever since you posted this. Now GMGs and traegers look like such a piece of junk by comparison. You are going to wind up costing me $1000 over the GMGs I was looking at.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I've had Schrodinger's cat explained to me at least 5 times and it sounded like nonsense every time. They conclusion I drew is that understanding of quantum physics is unnecessary for me to live a full life and I am going forward with this assumption.

    Well, I think that they were definitely prejudiced by the narrative that they had given themselves going in. Also, most people who have been on a jury say that they already had their mind made up who they were voting for and very few people are swayed by what is said at the FTC even if they say...

    I heard apodcastyesterday where somebody had talked to Jason after the finale and he said that he wasn't aware of how much Aubrey had controlled the game and he didn't think most of the jury was either. He said that Aubrey had described it at length at the final tribal (which wasn't shown) but...

    MS deserves the bad press but I think 90% of the people crying about the upgrades are just looking for something to complain about and will probably be better off with Win10 anyway. My Mom called me and asked if she should upgrade to 10 when the thing popped up and I just told her yes, go...

    This is what I'm talking about, and I think there have been other examples. Not really a big deal, I just notice it because it seems like the wax seal is useless they way they put them on. They probably just don't want to make a new one for every take.

    Something's been bugging me with the way they do wax seals on this show. The seal is on the napkin ring that the letter is rolled up in but you can just slide it off. Isn't the point of sealing something with wax to make it so the message can't be tampered with unless the seal is broken...

    These people are idiots. American cheese is just cheddar with some other cheese and some emulsifiers added to it to make it melt more easily. You don't have to like it but it's not some magic technosubstance that is somehow unhealthy (any more than any other cheese). Just a couple weeks ago...

    With regard to Varys trying to put a Targaryan in charge I'm late to the party and there are people who know more than me about this but my impression was that historically the Targaryans were either great leaders or totally insane. The Mad King was obviously one of the insane ones but a lot of...

    There is definitely a lot of shit with food that is just being pretentious, particularly when white people start telling you about "authentic" ethnic food. Now maybe you are angry about cottage cheese in lasagna because it's different than what you're used to and maybe it's because you're a...

    Since I read the books I didn't think Arya would ever become a faceless man and last night's episode was pretty careful to spell out that she was definitely not no one no matter how many times she says she is. I don't know what she's going to do but I will be shocked if she actually becomes a...

    Sure, but the most disappointed people were the ones that wrote an encyclopedia's worth of theories about stuff that turned out to be meaningless or misguided. Do you remember the LOST thread on this board? It was as long as this one or possibly longer.

    He doesn't need to be a savior but we have read too much of his boring ass story for him to not influence the main plot in some significant way. I hope the reason the book hasn't come out isn't that GRRM has just failed at tying this shit all together so it makes sense but they're going with it...

    Smartphones

    You have to look at the current output ratings on them. To charge a modern smartphone decently they need to put out at least 2 amps (different than mAH) 3 amps if you have a USB C phone and you want it to fast charge.

    From what I heard the cousin IT episode was actually totally unplanned and Probst had no idea that she was going to do that. I believe it based on how flustered he got and the fact that it was a long ass time until the first commercial break. I don't think that they need to talk to every...

    I have a weber gas grill and a BGE but I'm still thinking about getting a pellet smoker.

    My Weber gas grill can get almost that hot. I burned the shit out of some chicken on it the other day because I just cranked it and then put the chicken in for 5 minutes without checking it. The BGE can get that hot if everything is right also. Makes a great steak but you have to be careful...

    I've been thinking about a GMG lately but that Yoder looks pretty badass. I like the electronic controls/smartphone app on the GMG but the Yoder seems to be built a lot heavier. There also seems to not be a Yoder dealership within 300 miles of me.
