It’s kind of creepy to me that I was thinking of this yesterday as I chopped up an onion for tacos. It always seems to me like the stores I go to have “large” and “larger” onions and that’s about it. It’s okay, though, I’m not above using too much or simply reserving about half of one and chucking it into the fridge

I mean, the post is only going on 4 years old, don’t know why you feel the need to comment all over it, but the point was, and still is, that it’s kind of a dick move to assume others have it easier because they have money. Perhaps they have money because they worked their asses off for it or sacrifice greatly. Much

Better eat them all so no one can argue with you, of course!

This. Ever since I got an Instant Pot and started cooking eggs this way I’ve had zero issues with peeling. Made amazing deviled eggs around Easter, in fact, something I hated doing before because presentation is half the battle with those things.

I do make omelets in my 8" stainless steel pans regularly and I fully agree that larger will most likely fail. I have a 10" and I don’t even like to use that for anything less than a 4-egg omelet (which I rarely make, usually to split).

You do realize the comment was a joke, right? I agree with everything you said (minus the haughty attitude), but I still laughed.

Wow, so, I only pop on here on occasion so this has been a bit! First, a little info: I have a Weber Kettle that I’ve adapted for smoking by using a charcoal holder on one side, food on the opposite, then turning the airflow way down. It’s not perfect, but for the maybe-$275 I have invested in it (including the price

I only recently got into using charcoal, and even more recently learned to smoke. Know what’s better than beer-braised brats thrown on the grill? Hickory/applewood/even frikkin’ cherrywood smoked brats that went on the grates raw. I’ve done all three in the past few weeks and have sworn off any other way of cooking

Yeah, regardless of how much LESS HARMFUL something may be, let’s not test that theory on infants, dudes. Also, blowing plumes at people or in enclosed areas without permission is just being a dick, period. I don’t even do it anymore, and when I did I always asked first. I’d cloud up my own house, sure, but not

I’ve seen it carve mile-deep trenches in rocks! That’s how the GRAND CANYON was formed and there are people out there who make COFFEE with it! It’ll break down almost anything that you put in it, but let’s pour it all over ourselves. Stupid humans!

I really appreciate that you don’t blanket everyone that way. I pretty much only vape around smokers, and I’ve even seen some of THEM give me dirty looks as their sidestream blows toward me. I only ever even do it anymore when I’m around smokers, and only to curb the urge to bum a cigarette off them. And even then

And this is the healthy (no pun intended) approach to take toward it. Not the fearmongering way many have done (often the same people who rely on cigarette sin taxes) and not the “it’s completely harmless” mentality some people have. I used vaping to quit smoking. I then quit vaping. I keep a device laying around

Zero studies linked in the report (the survey was hardly a study, it asked opinions and offered no scientific evidence one way or the other), zero studies linked on the primary page the info came from. I’m gonna call bullshit on this. There’s plenty of evidence out of the EU, a place that’s shown it actually cares

The... only “study” referenced in this article is to one about whether or not people THINK they’re harmful. That’s hardly research. All actual research that’s come out of the EU about vaping has shown it’s really not likely to be harmful second-hand.

Now that you mention it I do remember seeing something about the liability issues, and how it actually meant the CC companies were less likely to push vendors to switch as well. I really do hope you’re right and people begin to become aware that these breaches could be prevented, or made significantly less worthwhile

This is what I was thinking about. The issue is, in my experience, many fast food companies still aren’t using the chip-and-pin system and are instead continuing to have customers swipe their cards. I’ve even seen places with a cardboard sign IN the chip slot instructing you to swipe instead.

Dammit, now I have to watch Warehouse 13 again. Haven’t watched it in far too long. Still can’t believe it was cancelled.

Already responded with this to your perfect sandwich post about a week ago, but I’m still obsessed with it, and likely always will be. Damned Keto diet means I can’t really eat most of the ingredients right now, though, which makes me sad, but my favorite sandwich ever is from Red Dwarf, and only fans of the show are

Right, and I prefer to taste everything mixed! :D Differences of opinion. It’s all good! Like I said, I prefer stronger-tasting meats, too, in which it’s more appetizing, to me, to have it mixed with the other flavors. Salami is another good example, as is roast beef. Turkey or ham, on the other hand, if they
