    I like beans and see no reason not to use them. I generally rotate between Black, Kidney, Cannellini, and Garbanzo (pick 3). I don't care all that much about keeping "traditional" foods, if it makes them taste inferior (pineapple on pizza makes me sick because I don't like heavy pineapple taste).

    For a global company that I thought was a competitor with EA, I was wondering what he was doing in a "poor" persons plane... That's a turboprop, not even one of the "cheap" private jets, like a Citation. Wonder if Ubislop sold all their jets and that's the best he could get due to flopping out...

    I had an aunt who always added it to pulled pork and she ran a small local restaurant in the Midwest that would sell it; so enough people liked the recipe for that to work. I used to make that recipe, but these days I don't like a sweet BBQ sauce at all (or use sugar in savory dishes) and...

    I love Cinnamon in sweet dishes and went through a phase, in my youth, were I tried it in savory dishes, including chili and pulled pork BBQ. While I don't hate it, I would never do that to my own food these days.

    I'll pass on the cinnamon and cloves in my savory dishes.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Mark Rober showing relay/repeater attack car thefts. Remember seeing a bunch of speculation about this (and keeping keys in a faraday cage), when it started showing up in the aughts, but didn't keep up with it. I was never too worried about it since I'm not a typical Texan; I actually keep my...

    Moving from Hawaii

    If you don't want to pay the ridiculous private school prices, you almost need to be selective on that basis alone. In Houston, think of places like Woodlands or Cinco Ranch; in DFW, places like Grapevine or Rockwall; in Austin, pretty much anything near Lake Travis. (I know very little about...

    Pressure

    I guess Brendan Fraser had his life wrecked by his ex-wife in 2007. Like the whole 9 yards of using the kids, the courts favoring the mother, taking at least half his shit and then some huge child support and alimony on top. Not only that, some powerful Hollywood fag strongly came onto him...

    Moving from Hawaii

    When I lived in Austin people would talk about riding the river in New Braunfels (BYOB drinking and floating) and the Schlitterbahn waterpark (family oriented). No clue how good or bad the waterpark is these days (they were bought by Six Flags), but it could be something to improve the kid's...

    He says, in the show, that the next big doctor appointment is in November. I assume that's when they will do a large battery of tests to make sure the surgery got it all.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I know what you mean, while they were before my time, they were still on the radio and I disliked them growing up too. Everything else I had heard from them is soft rock or pop shit, but 25 or 6 to 4 goes pretty hard for it's time. I think that particular song is on a bunch of 80s/90s/00s hard...

    Hamburger historian cooks them the following way. A burger thick enough to survive a grill is usually too fat for your mouth once you get lettuce, onion, and tomato. A burger you cant get in your mouth is fucking worthless. I do something like the video, on cast iron, with mushrooms, onions, and...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Never heard it before, but it's a solid 3.6 roentgen. I've heard a lot worse, including most country and pop produced since the 90s (and that AI shit Mahes just posted). It reminds me of Gorillaz.

    Anyone in the DFW area want to drive through the Plano or Grapevine Sewell dealers to see if this is in the parking lot, then give the police a ring? Second pic shows close up of bullshit plate:

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Rogues still have the whole poison system that can fill in for mechanics. It needs a whole work over though. Months ago I looked at trying to make the snare poison and it required specific drop from level 20+ Asps (not just any snake). From reading on the Discord, it's also a rare-ish drop...

    True, was thinking about inventory management and the ridiculousness of PoE, while forgetting about WoW level boosts. The level boosts are also not relevant to current xpac content for most of the xpac, and aren't that useful to people that are actively playing the game. Of course, it still...

    I have never played and can't recall even seeing a game with a box price and a sub having convenience items in the cash shop. They are either F2Play with a bunch of convenience items in the cash shop, like PoE, or box price plus a sub, with cosmetic cash shop, like WoW. I assume it's some...

    We have them in North Texas as well and have only seen, at most, 2 at a time in both the city and countryside. I would assume it's some kind of rehab or possibly a reserve for birds that can't be released back into the wild.

    I have hated the move to DLC over XPACs for as long as DLC have existed, but cosmetics in an MMO cash shop have kinda become a whatever. On the other hand, having a cash shop with convenience items on a game that is demanding a box price and a sub price is super scummy. People that pay for it...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I could see where they are trying to go, if they are trying to make druids an acceptable replacement for clerics and wizards. That would mean in Summer stance they would need to be as good of a healer as a cleric but also as bad as cleric DPS. Then switched in Winter stance to the point they...

    The olive oil works fine for turning the Emeril's spice mix into a marinade and soaking into the meat for 1 to 4 hours. Then it smokes off fast when the meat is thrown into an extremely hot and "dry" cast iron pan. The meat sears up just as well as any other way to sear a steak and the Emeril's...

    Should probably try that next time, if I want to take the time to clarify some butter, but since I rarely cook with it or Ghee, it never comes to mind. The olive oil does an adequate job.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    I was mostly talking about The Departed, with a few scenes like the Cranberry one above and Wahlberg's theory on FEDs... but yeah, almost all of Scorsese's crime movies have multiple good quote excerpts. The Casino memorable lines are mostly longer monologues though. Some of the shorter ones...

    Gothic Remake

    I remember liking the Gothic series as much as Morrowind and certainly more than any other FPS RPGs made before 2010 or so. It's hard to compare them with the more modern games like The Witcher 3 or even Skyrim with a plethora of well developed mods (Gothic 2/3 > vanilla Skyrim), but I also...

    While I didn't hate this season like the previous people, I am mostly just disappointed that this didn't turn into something like "the early years" of the main characters in To Catch a Thief and/or The Thomas Crown Affair (but in the present day setting). With so many average looking women in...

    Gotta doubt the masculinity of any man that can't quote multiple lines from The Departed! Next you're going to say you have never seen Gangs of New York, Casino, or Goodfellas.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    The Departed is easily the best movie he has been in and certainly a memorable performance. As is every "main" character in that movie. Hell, even the side characters; as Wahlberg has some of the most memorable lines/scenes.
