I’ll give it to them... they’re hip, they know FF3, but they aren’t giant nerds who insist on calling it 6.

I’ve always hated the Forgotten Realms world. I read a few books, some of them were pretty good. I occasionally thought that I should take a player’s advice and run a game in Forgotten Realms, so I did, and invariably, some player who knows more than me about the world calls me on every single thing that I get wrong…

The game “should” be played in a way which offers you, the player, the highest probability of winning. If it turns out the game “should” be played in a way which is repetitive and boring, then it is a poorly designed game.

I’m a big fan of chunky guac. A potato masher works wonders. My recipe is usually the simplest one. Avocado, salt, lime.

I thought this myself, but I can appreciate how difficult it is. It would take thousands of rabbits to get the job done that way, and at what point do you determine it was eaten? Do you slog through the swap to find out if it’s in a snake belly, or some other predator got it? Using the data to determine the best…

I don’t think this pick is great for discussion, as the differences between most commodity air conditioners is minimal. The power consumption and cooling power of the greatest majority of Air conditioners all falls closely in line. The additional “features” that higher end models provide are most often not worth the…

It said I was 44. I tried a couple other pictures, and the youngest it would get me is 39 (it was a picture of me with my full winter beard moments before I shaved it all off)

A super entertaining strategy for this is to use mod_rewrite to serve up custom robots.txt based on the user agent. Hilarity shall surely ensue.

No, they are not. I’ve worked in a couple of kitchens and all of them used heavy aluminum pans that you can get for a very reasonable price at a restaurant supply store. Check your local stores and find the ones that are open to the public. They’re pretty awesome.

I read this, and I thought it was bonkers and amazing and I’m sure that Shatner was joking when he said it.

It seems kinda sexist to assume that guys only come in contact with lipstick via kissing girls...

I really feel like I’m getting mixed messages here... When the r-pi does it, it’s the most amazing thing ever, but when Intel does it its a bag of crap. Granted that the Intel variant costs a lot more, but it is more powerful and capable than the r-pi in such scenarios.

I like to buy Kiwi brand knives from my local Asian Market. They are good enough and dirt cheap. They aren’t a permanent solution, they require frequent re-sharpening, but they’ll get knives in your hand at low cost and help you decide what kinda knives you actually want.

According to the calculator, I’m going to have to invent an immortality serum before I can become financially independent...

When I was a kid, my parents were honest about they money problems with me. They would tell me what bills they didn't pay so that we could have christmas or birthdays.

I agree. I don’t think it’s out of the question for Dyson to have dual power units that can run off wall or battery power.

This is the internet, the land of gratuitous pedantry. I’m cool with a person eating baked pork belly to reduce the sodium in their diet. What I’m not cool with is calling it bacon, because by definition it is not.

Standardized tests were the bane of my existence. I regularly scored in the top 5% in my schools so they always were shoving me into “honors” and “AP” classes. Then, when they realized that I wasn’t doing the homework, they shoved me into dumb kid classes. Every single school, the cycle repeated itself. The tests were…

Baked pork belly is delicious, but it isn’t bacon.

I need to find a good sewing machine for darning my jeans. I’ve tried doing it by hand and I’ve failed miserably at every attempt. I don’t feel like my technique is that bad, but my sewing machine makes it difficult. Getting a leg up to the knee and still being able to maneuver it is problematic and finding a machine…
