I’ll never understand this reaction to sous vide cooking. You heat the water, put the food in, and walk away, and then you come back some imprecise (chicken breasts, for instance, need an hour to be done, but they can hang out for an extra hour without negative effects. That flexibility rocks) time later and the food…

I’m sorry. When things so obvious and simple are posted, all I can think of is:

Is that a $25 rubber spatula? I just want to be sure.

Also, the whole “let’s attach the end piece in such a way that it becomes a lever amplifying a force attempting to pull out the screws which secure it while the device is in use” thing does not inspire confidence in this thing’s designer, _and_ using electricity to crush a recyclable can is kind of goofy because it…

Fuck the dumb.

I don’t know about battery problems because I didn’t own mine long enough to find out. It has the suction of a lifelong smoker with only one lung. It sucks because it doesn’t suck. It’s crap.

I mean, the helmet is on the whole time, and this might be out of line, but dude, your mom might be kind of hot.

Holy crap, thanks for that immersion blender link. I have an expensive immersion blender I barely use. I’m makin’ me some poached eggs with hollandaise for breakfast tomorrow.

My girlfriend veto’d the Viper idea

Why would you not be ok with actual death? He may have murdered her, in a particularly painful way. Put me on a jury and I’d vote “justifiable” if she killed him.

That pic, working the arms, looks _so_ likely to injure you. It won’t be fun if you fall back onto that nice, force-multiplying projection at the top.

Damn it, _I_ wanted to make the first beard comment.

Wagon? Where?

Yes. Used often enough, they can affect some paints so you can see, for instance, outlines of the studs. Not sure what the chemistry is, or how often it happens, but I’ve heard contractors mention it, and seen it in my mom’s house.

If there _must_ be instructions for this situation, these are the instructions we should standardize on.

This is so...I mean...like...the instructions are down to the _foot_. It reminds me of Douglas Adams’ thing about the toothpicks.

Mortadella: the meat which you can pay a lot for, but no matter how much it costs, it still tastes like bologna with cigarette butts embedded in it.

It seems like motorcycles should just bounce off a guy named “Stig Broeckx” without doing any damage whatsoever. Did he tell them who he was?

Reminds me of the (probably made up, but believable because that OS was a god damned tank, for all its faults) story of a Novell 3.1.2 server that actually got walled away somewhere and just sat there working fine for years.

It’s always true that life was cheaper in the past, and it’s always true that everyone goes through times where they hate their situation, work a job they hate, or whatever. Some people use it as fuel to improve, some people complain about it.
