    What do you do?

    The main reason to send repeated emails instead of going to find the person face-to-face is that emails give you a 'paper trail' to cover your own ass when shit inevitably doesn't get done and they come looking for someone to blame. You can produce the emails and show that you did your due...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I always use skinless chicken breasts. I also always go really light on the flour, so this might be a problem. Next time I'll try skipping the oil and making sure it's covered more in flour before the egg bath and breading. Thanks!

    Is there a secret to getting breading to stick to chicken? Most recipes I've seen generally use some kind egg/oil mixture to coat the chicken before applying breading. This works moderately well and the breading sticks to the chicken throughout the baking process, but when you cut into it the...

    Weight Loss Thread

    This thread has pretty much doubled as a general fitness thread for a while now. People talk about lifting, routines, and diets just as much (if not more) than pure, traditional weight loss.

    Egypt

    Recently I was talking to an Egyptian woman who is studying abroad here in the U.S.A at the moment. We were talking about Egyptian culture and I expressed my interest in visiting the country and seeing the sites, and she vehemently told me not to go to Egypt in its current state.

    I was talking about lobster in general. I've had fresh-caught lobster at a seaside Mom and Pop place in Maine and it still tasted rubbery to me. I much prefer soft and delicate crab meat. Keep in mind I grew up and still live in Maryland, so I pretty much have crab meat and old bay coursing...

    I wasn't really a fan. I don't generally like lobster, though. It tastes like a tough, rubbery crab.

    Aha, so this isn't an isolated thing. I saw one of these masks a couple weeks ago on these two enormously jacked guys at my gym and my first thought was "holy shit Bane is working out at my gym!" The worst thing about these masks is the annoying Darth Vader breathing sound they make. I could...

    Oh shit. Rufio was the coolest kid ever and I wanted to be him. Rufio, Rufio, Ru-fi-oooooooooooooooo! When he died it really made me sad. "Looky looky I got hooky...NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" However, I think the saddest part of the 90s for me was when Rimshot got turned into wood by the troll.

    I had an Atlantic Lobster Roll at a McDonald's in the U.S.A., Maine, I believe. They were all over the place up there. It was the first time I had ever tried lobster.

    ultra beta male virgin shoots up hot girls at UC Santa Barbara at least 7 dead

    Guy was just plain crazy. Even if he'd somehow gotten a girlfriend, he probably would have ended up murdering her or going on a rampage for some other only-in-his-mind reason.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    What do you do?

    There's two ways to teach abroad: international schools and English schools. International schools are a lot harder to get into because a) they tend to be more reputable and b) you need a higher degree and the ability to teach something like civics, history, math, science, etc. English schools...

    Last summer someone quit and they decided I would take on all of her job duties. I had a brief meeting with the higher-up and explained that I felt I deserved an increase in salary since my work had quite literally doubled. Raise received. I don't think it should ever be a problem if you have a...

    Mayo is awesome on almost anything. In my family, we take a can of pork n' beans with a couple big dollops of mayo. Delicious. We also do meatballs (frozen, Italian kind) with a spoonful of mayo on top. Delicious. It makes almost everything better. Someone recently made some ham sandwiches for...

    Wendy's burgers are "old fashioned," and that style typically comes with mayo. Plus, I imagine they were trying to differentiate themselves from McDonald's, hence the retarded square patties, too.

    I know it was a typo, but "toppings under the pizza" plus your mention of having crispy pepperoni reminded me about one of my favorite things about cooking frozen pizzas in the oven.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I agree with this, and the other problem with that kind of set-up is that when you bite the pizza, the cheese kind of just slides off rather than sticking properly to the pizza. This results in you getting a little bite of crust, sauce, and toppings, and a huge sheet of cheese hanging out of...

    As rehashed and predictable this show is, it's still really fun. As long as Dean keeps being Dean, Crowley keeps being Crowley, and Castiel keeps being Castiel, they can go on indefinitely because all three of them are just really great, fun characters that play extremely well off one another.

    The human body is designed for running, but I don't think it's designed for the kind of running that most people do. HIIT and sprinting is fine and natural, but running for hours and hours non stop, or running for really long distances (i.e. marathons) isn't natural and it's that kind of running...
