  • Nothing's free in Waterworld.

  • I guess I need to. My last laptop came with Vista.

  • Costing about the same? $700? That is still more than I'd want to pay for those. Am I just cheap? Is that what laptops cost now?

  • Basically a three step process.

    1.) Ingest caffeine.

    2.) Put on Highway Star by Deep Purple. Big headphones to drown out distractions.

    3.) Take a couple breaths to focus, then buckle in for the ride

  • My usual MO is getting things when they are discontinued. And cheap. Turbografx, Sega Saturn, Virtual Boy, Game.Com. I have them all. Virtual Boy was $20 at Target.

    The only time I got something when it came out was the Gameboy Advance. But I pre-ordered it. No camping, just went in and picked it up.

    I got the PS2 for Christmas the year it came out, but it was out for almost 2 months at that point, plus it was a gift, so I didn't have to camp for that either. I still love that thing.

  • "Wtf. How did this get past sponsorblock?"

  • I've heard of furries. I've heard of scalies. What would you call a frog person? A slimy?

  • OK, so, I hate Meta and offer no sympathy. But, if I were hypothetically in that scenario, I would work very hard to develop a keyboard centric workflow. Sure, they can key log everything, but it's going to be way more annoying for them to go through tons and tons of TAB strokes.

  • Yo, you got skin?

  • I've got it. The Sweatypie Sundae.

    You know, because it's salty. Like sweat. And it's a pie.

  • There would be so much less traffic on my way to work! I bet the lines at theme parks would be a lot shorter, too. Probably wouldn't be a housing crisis anymore.

    Only downside is, you know, half of the population of the entire planet dying painfully and the survivors guilt their families would feel after having to watch it. And cheering it on is like, unfathomably cruel. But those are just details.

  • OK, here you go.

    WHAT'S LIGMA, BURGERBARON?

  • I don't know why they are still brown, the last one I seasoned was probably 4 years ago. I also have a Dutch oven that I reseasoned, literally cooked in a campfire with it, and it is still brown. I don't do anything special with them to clean them, just baby bottle soap (because it is unscented) and a plastic scraper. I use chain mail if something is really stuck. I will occasionally add an extra coat to them on the range. They just stay brown!

  • Thanks! Most of my pans were rusty flea market finds. I feel like there has been a cast iron resurgence in the last few years, it's getting harder to find cheap, good quality pieces anymore. I think I paid $20 for the big Wagner Ware. And $5 for the little #3. Both of those are $50-60 in good condition. You just have to know what to look for in rescue pieces. Make sure the bottom is nice and flat, check everywhere for cracks. It's a good idea to do a lead test if there's a possibility of someone having used it to cast bullets.

    The stove is 30" (0.76m) wide, a standard width for over here. One of my coworkers, who is really into cooking, has an actual 48" (1.22m) commercial range in his house. 8 burners. Dual ovens. His range hood alone cost more than my stove and fridge combined. That's a guy that likes to cook!

  • They are good boys. I like to keep them clean.

  • I have more pan pics, should you and I try to get some posts going in there?

  • Yup, exactly. I have a child.

  • Thank you! I totally stole the color scheme from a YouTube video, I can't remember the creator. I really need a good white wrist strap for it, I have a gray Wii one on there at the moment.
