If you get these please learn how to clean and care for stainless steel pans instead of being like most and buying them, using them as though they were a cheap nonstick, then leave poor reviews about how they “won’t come clean” or “look horrible after a week of use”, etc.

Now that this is updated with corrected information, I’d like to say that I wish they’d done this a week sooner, as I had need of a system like Drive File Stream a week ago. Oh well, managed to work everything out anyway. Now if only they could allow for a decentralized connection, allowing me to access files on a

I, also, almost had a damned heart attack because I have an entire website dependent on how Drive hosts PDFs and allows them to be embedded with an archive that goes back a few years for publications. I was suddenly hit with the concept of redoing all of that work, which would likely take hours just to find the best

This reminds me a LOT of Microsoft’s old entry into the game, which was my personal favorite. I wonder if it feels similar, as those were my first, I went through two over the years, and Microsoft long ago stopped making them. For me, personally, they fit my hand just right to be perfectly comfortable without any

I’m curious if there IS any method of preservation that would allow us to genetically “grow” an animal nowadays that existed millions of years ago. I know we found mammoth flesh frozen at one point, and people went so far as to cook and eat the thing (seemed like a stupid waste, to me, when scientists probably

And giant glowing squid! Man, Sphere was like Event Horizon underwater. The movie didn’t do it justice at all.

Chutes & Ladders was one of the first ones we picked up for him. Helps with counting, paying attention, following directions, etc. It’s mildly upsetting because a lot of the kid-type games have a focus on failure with a touch of randomness, so he would laugh wildly whenever someone else went down a chute, for

Right? It made me ridiculously proud.

I’m referring to the frequency with which I hear of people actually playing them. There’s tons being MADE nowadays, but I have several games that are known to be fun to play that I have trouble finding players for, and that most people I know haven’t ever heard of. It’s sad, to me.

Board games are awesome family activities. My 5 year old has started having a ton of fun playing them, and this past weekend when I asked what he wanted to do he said he preferred them over the Xbox because, and I quote, “I don’t want to play Xbox because we can’t all do that... so... board games?”

It’s interesting, board games have fallen so by the wayside that when I finally cleaned things up and got mine out I put them in a central location (above the walk-in closet to our house) so we can see them regularly. The frequency with which my 5-year-old comes to ask to play one is amazing. The past two times I’ve

More often than not the only thing I say after telling my kiddo something is “understand?” or I’ll ask him “does that make sense?” This NEVER occurs when saying something like “It’s time to go”, “Get your shoes on” or “Time to get ready for bed”.

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
