My friend had the Nuclear War game that we played sporadically in the early nineties... not that I recall it being especially fun but definitely weird in a fun way. I’d be curious to see whether it holds up and how much of political intrigue and humor we were missing as thirteen-year-olds...

This is a great formula for a solid one-inch steak, in most instances it would kill a 1/2" steak. When it comes to cook time, that half-inch is gonna make a lot bigger difference than 3/4" to 1.25". There’s an exponential increase in the surface area-to-volume ratio the thinner you cut your beef, in my experience this…

This technique works for my 5-year-old kid so...?

Pretty sure that’s a Punisher shirt.

I bought hundreds of dollars’ worth of BTC a few years back when it was in the $200-$500 range. Of course I immediately used it to order drugs off DNMs, like a NORMAL person.

That headline is a goddamned masterpiece.

Who the hell is still listening to CDs?

yea but what if its lost or stolen

It seems hard to find anyone willing to exchange BTC to dollars at amounts more than a few grand at a time. I’m sure it’s possible to make a decent pocket-full here and there but these days everyone seems too cautious to allow gains in the six- or seven-figure range.

Yeah but at that level of wealth, shouldn’t you HIRE someone with taste?

Because they’re hideous?

TRUTH, but you can’t make a killer THX leftovers sandwich w/o cold TK
