Yours is totally the same as Jon's. All I was saying is they don't have that review under the "Kitchen" heading, it's under "Appliances", even though some items are found in both subheadings so I was scared and lost and didn't think to look there.
-
Weird. It's not under cooking gear, but some of the other stuff crosses over. Seems like a damn good resource, anyway. http://thesweethome.com/leaderboard/kitchen/

Where on the wirecutter did you find their review? I can't see it. It did, however, lead me to The Sweethome and now I want a new chef's knife, a new cutting board, new thermometer, a rice cooker, a real dutch oven, good skillet, spatula...

I think it's hilarious that even when he's being thoughtful he's still a moron. He said he moved to SF on June 31st.

Like most well run corporations, they basically don't pay taxes. But yes, that's a wholly separate conversation and not specific to sports.

It's $10m a year in taxes. They're not sheltering the literal billions of dollars they take in, but it's still a lot. It's a tax-exempt non-profit because they are a "trade organization" created in the 1940s. It's not THAT misunderstood, and it's definitely bullshit. MLB was tax-exempt until 2007. The NHL and the PGA still are. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/01/nfl-tax-exempt/ http://blogs.reuters.com/stories-id-like-to-see/2014/09/23/just-why-does-the-nfl-have-tax-exempt-status/

You could be a robot, or a collective. We can't prove any of it.

Time also goes in a straight line, and this happened after the Ray Rice incident which could influence measures taken. Like Bjorn said, I had remembered this was not the first time he'd been implicated in something like this. Plus remember that this is America. Sex is worse than violence, duh.

Do you have a fancy-style gadget that does all the sous vide'ing for you, or are you a ramshackle DIY person?

The super bowl commercial was so much worse than that.

For what it's worth I don't think SC2 is at all dead. It's just been blown past by LoL, Dota, CS, and Hearthstone (Blizzard probably isn't hearthbroken that it has 2 of the 5 or so most popular streaming & competitive games). It was first and as such didn't have the advantages of improving on a predecessor. I don't think Dota is headed that way, either. It's consistently one of the most popular streamed games. It's just that outside of That One Big Tournament it's completely unstructured. League from 2-3 years ago before every region was integrated was sort of like that, except they had a really broad points system for tournaments. It was kind of exciting. Tiny little tournaments with a "pro" team and amateurs. Competitive gaming's frontier. In terms of knowing when and what to watch, and people actually being able to make a game a job it's so much better now, however.

Oh hello I resemble this sentiment.

This Friday's episode of Video Games Hotdog had special guest Gary Butterfield, which encouraged me to look up the other things he does on the radio internet. Searching feeds for Duckfeed TV, I can't tell which have him and don't, which are still running, etc except Watch Out for Fireballs. Is anyone familiar with the site and could throw me a basic rundown beyond the iTunes feed blurb?

No love for potato masher dad.
-
Oh! I didn't realize complete homogenization was a desirable quality in a mashed potato. The lumps let me know it was really potato to begin with. I mean, I don't generally skin them either. Once they're in the pot, they're in the pot until they get served. I pour the water off and mash them there.
-
oh c'mon potato ricer? Potato masher ! No cleaning difficulties, performs as expected.

My potato opinion is that potatoes rule and you should eat them! What a tuber! I love Achewood and I miss Achewood. I love it so much I bought the Achewood cookbook, which apart from the obvious joke recipes is surprisingly strong! The Omega Potato (stolen directly from Recipes For A Man Or A Lady) 3/4 lb Russet Potato (starchy potatoes are better for baking) Preheat your oven to 500 Wash your potato Do not do anything else to the potato before assaulting it with heat Put it directly on an oven rack for 45 minutes per side (90m total) Remove from oven, cut open, potato. The recipe recommends a little olive oil and some salt, which is amazing. If you just want to dress up the potato any other way, it's your potato! If you tuck in within 5 minutes of the oven it's going to be blisteringly hot (duh, cut it open) but the skin will be so incredibly crunchy. It's like a whole outside potato's worth of french fries without frying. Seriously one of the best potatoes I've ever had. The hardest part is just being willing to wait 90 minutes, or actually preparing ahead of time. Adjust 10m per side per 1/4 pound (1/2 lb potato 35m per side).

Hello I am going to direct you to the cooking thread for my potato opinion and one of my favorite recipes, the Omega Potato.

Why do police not know what Twitter is?

Man I knew we should have made a dating thread.

I think that's more weird than outraging. As a man who uses the phrase "Kentaco Hut", the fact that he hasn't even had KFC garbage mashed potatoes is kind of shocking. Actually, didn't he say he's had KFC Famous Bowls? Those have potatoes in them.

I think I'm firmly in the Sean Vanaman "who cares" camp of which movies you have or haven't seen. Even in film studies. Citizen Kane might be one of the few exceptions, since it's so often cited as the turning point to "modern" film. I am sometimes curious how many people feel that way who feel the same about The Wizard of Oz. e: I would also potentially be willing to argue that even though I've also never watched Citizen Kane I have, in fact, seen it. "So what you're saying is that Citizen Kane is the Metal Gear of movies?" is way closer to what he actually said.

Idle Thumbs 195: Business Guys On Planes
Badfinger replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
I think I agreed with Chris that games age more poorly than movies, up until about movies from 1995 or so, and then I agree with Jake. The introduction of CG was really amazing and innovative for the people who were awesome and subtle with it, and also make movies look like they're 50 years old when it was done poorly, which was often. Some of that hideous CG might as well have just been Curse of The Island of Scary Spiders from 1954 where each spider leg was just a dude holding a furry stick. Plus it enabled guys like (unfortunately) George Lucas, who had the most amazing technical production resources in the world at his disposal, to just have people playact in front of a blue screen. Actually, I think I would say CG had a similar effect on movies that polygonal 3d did to games. There were so many game designers pulling off amazing things with 2D who suddenly had to learn how to get with the times and use the new tools. The new tools are better in a lot of ways to the old ones to do the things you want, but it's a fundamental step back while you learn how that happens. In the meantime, 1997-2004 CG in movies. Regarding the first time you thought critically about a video game, I'm not sure I have That Game. I know I liked Civ better than Civ II. I know I thought Master of Magic was better than Master of Orion for gameplay reasons (it certainly wasn't for technical ones. We had to load the game into himem.sys and never had enough memory to run the sound). X-Wing and TIE Fighter were much better than Rebel Assault, but I felt like I'd been duped into that purchase rather than thinking critically about the differences. Maybe it was TIE Fighter? I could compare that directly to X-Wing. -
Idle Thumbs 191: Not the Greatest, but the Best
Badfinger replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
A very large part of me is crying on the inside and saying, 'NO, LEAVE INDY ALONE!" but there are always going to be things that Belong In A Museum, regardless of the time period you set around them.
