Convenient in the sense that I would have salted the steak and let sit for 45 min before cooking to increase flavor/tenderness anyway, so I personally wouldn’t have lost any time doing it this way with the added benefit of knowing it’ll be perfectly done every time. But hey, to each their own.

Eh, the math was right, I just misunderstood what you meant by “30 min, not 45".

Sure, but as much as some would have us believe otherwise, he still hasn’t taken away our right to bear arms or come knocking for my 1911 or Remington 870. Does it suck that I my Kriss Super V can’t be full auto here in California? Yup it sure does, but that’s the State’s fault.

Sous vide is how a lot of high end steak houses prep and serve their steaks. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.

“i’m curious what OP thinks we do to steaks, breath on it with our warm breaths until it’s room temperature?”

Let’s do some math on what you just said:

Sure, but it isn’t cooking while it’s on the plate coming to room temp. You’d still have to pay attention to the steak once you start cooking it to ensure it doesn’t over/undercook. Not so hard for maybe a single steak for yourself since you can put all your attention to it, but imagine cooking say 5 steaks for…

Ah interesting, I would have figured salting the meat for so long(essentially brining, though I guess that might require too much salt) would help with that, and that the act of getting the entirety of the meat to proper cooking temp for long enough would kill off any dangerous bacteria. Better to stay on the safe…

Haha, I actually thought of that too as it’s really the only thing that I would count as a completely random outside force changing an outcome, but it also wasn’t used to save the “hero” character. Even if Kylo was the hero though, it’d still be the only instance of Deus Ex and not multiple as originally implied

Well, active cook time is actually like 3 minutes for the final sear. Imagine this:

Yeah I was speaking strictly price-wise and with cars that immediately came to my mind as things I’d prefer, but you’re right it’ll probably be more GT which is absolutely fine.

No you’re probably right that this’ll be more Grand Tourer than pure sports car, but one can always hope.

Well, they’ve put themselves squarely into 911/GT-R/R8 territory. Here’s hoping it’s less RC and more LF-A in the performance department.

If there was absolutely no indication that she was force sensitive through the entire movie then suddenly tapped into the force right at the end, then you’d be right. However, since her awakening was set up and deliberately shown through the movie starting with her first mental battle with Kylo while being…

R2 waking up is poor writing or editing, but not Deus Ex. He’d been established as being in a low power state waiting for an unknown reason to wake up and the idea that he could have the map in him and was lamp shaded, so it didn’t come out of nowhere.

I take issue with the idea that TFA was filled with use of Deus Ex Machina. To my understanding, Deus Ex is the intervention of an unexpected or wholly new entity or ability to save someone/thing from a seemingly impossible situation. Han arriving at the last possible moment to save Luke from Vader when we last saw…

I’m sitting here imagining how nice it’d be to actually be able to naturally look in the direction of the turn while braking, then look through the turn while the car is hitting the apex so I can start unwinding the wheel and apply throttle... omgyesplease.

Obligatory:

I test drove an FR-S and BRZ back in 2012. I ended up in a used 2007 Cayman S for a few grand more because it was everything I wanted the Toyobaru to be, and knew I would need to spend more than a few extra grand in aftermarket parts chasing that performance goal. What’s more a base Cayman or Boxster would have been…

Yeah, I’m actually using that with FO4 right now and love it. I appreciated that it gives you the option of choosing just how aware NPC’s are for your chosen darkness level. I’m guessing this was possible due to the fact that NPC perception was already tied to light levels in the vanilla code. Unfortunately it doesn’t…
