I tried TKL for the better mouse ergonomics and I just can’t live without my number pad. I’m sad they used that lovely 1800-style arrow key layout... and didn’t pair it with a condensed number pad (basically I’m waiting for the inevitable GMMK96% which I will preorder).

For onlookers, this might seem like another ploy for attention

You’re not wrong that a Weber Kettle will go the distance without much maintenance, but you might be surprised how damn good that thing will look again if you do give it a thorough deep cleaning and scraping. That porcelain coating inside and out comes realllllll clean if you take the time. You can shine those…

If you own a slow n sear already the snake method offers little to no advantage. The only substantial upside is that by its nature, the snake rotates the direction the heat is coming from so you don’t have to rotate your grate as much, but since you should be rotating your lid to keep a cross-draw going as the snake…

But a pork butt costs like no more than $15 in most parts of the country, is almost impossible to ruin (how do you even do it? with that much fat it’s incredibly forgiving to temperature swings), and gives you pounds and pounds of delicious pulled pork which is so infinitely superior to cooked cabbage I can’t even.

In other words, Facebook has provided ample examples to back up the old adage, “If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.” Even in this specific case, there are enough requirements and asterisks to suggest that Facebook isn’t actually offering most creators all that much. This, then, appears to be a…

WILLING TO SACRIFICE OUR LOVE

Well you just became the most dangerous person on the Takeout

Sometimes I wish developers would just be honest.

Culturally insensitive people never anticipate cultural sensitivity, the same way racist people decry racial sensitivity as “SJW” “cancel culture.” They don’t recognize the existence of the original problem at all, so the concept of efforts to fix the problem appear to them to be completely out of left field and…

Maybe not with like, night vision or underwater breathing, things that aren’t actual human characteristics to begin with (it’s a lot easier and more flexible to play around with things that never actually existed, as several other commenters have alluded to in various threads), but it’s kinda dicey when one race has…

Your family sounds surprisingly (or, I suppose, unsurprisingly, given the shared experiences) to mine. My father’s family also went to Lebanon before eventually making their way here a decade later; he also married a jewish woman because his beef isn’t with Judaism, it’s with the occupying entity where he grew up.

I was going to ignore you because you’re arguing against a strawman (nobody, especially myself, said Israel == Judaism), but frankly I was so annoyed by how much you think you’re part of the solution when you’re actually part of the problem that I had to step in.

Yeah my thought was that it could be very regional, which is why I was curious where that commenter is from

The American-fascist-conservative perspective on Israel is really fucking weird.

If only there was an example for them to look to of the writers of an extremely popular site having walked out en-masse when their writers were censored by corporate overlords for discussing socio-political issues.

This is far too informed and nuanced a take for a generally toxic commentariat, but screw it, let’s try to rise above it because you clearly tried to.

It’s 73 and sunny out. Mass Effect will be there next week, especially since they removed the multiplayer.... I’m cooking out this weekend

Considering how pretty much every piece of publicly distributed software in history has been pirated, the idea that “copyright infringement .... [is] really all you need to protect digital software” is beyond absurd.

That’s technically incorrect and being repeatedly glossed over in the comments. A user doesn’t have to own a license to the game and its assets; the user has to possess a copy of those assets. How those assets are acquired is left unstated and a lot of people in the comments are making the assumption that, because…
