Most of the white knights are just trolling the "LOLOLOL this doesn't exist" goons because they're too dumb to realize this is basically just games gbs with surprise guest appearances from random reddit star citizen fans and a healthy dose of burgin'. The thread the lololol goons think they're trolling hasn't existed in well over a year when it went on a roadtrip through the forums with a nice, long visit to GBS proper. I don't mean to spoil the fun, but now that I got my refund I'm debating if I should put it towards a grill and want suggestions.

I spent a house payment on a fancy gas grill last year and still do 80% of my grilling on a Weber Kettle. It's a classic for a reason.

Sorry, just a reflex reaction more than anything.

NP, I've come to realize that it takes a lot to leave a cult, and not everyone has completed all their stages of grief yet. I commend everyone who has done so and I understand your snappy attitudes and the penchant for burger chatting. I got caught up and forgot how to play Star Citizen (again).

cause it is. Its like an electric stove poo poo for cooking. Get yourself charcoal. A lil more work but the flavor pays off. Plus you can throw in like woodchips n poo poo too for flavoring.

Electric :stonk:

If you want to do big racks of ribs or larger briskets, get the Weber 22". Otherwise the 18" is plenty, and needs a bit less charcoal to boot.

Whatever you do, make sure to get one of these to go with it though: http://www.amazon.com/Weber-7416-Rapidfire-Chimney-Starter/dp/B000WEOQV8/
It makes getting going waaaay easier and faster.

While I'm guessing that most of SC's backers are still on board, if there's a point that there's a panic and LOTS of them demand refunds, hypothetically there's an upper limit to how much Croberts can actually refund. What would happen in that case?

What the gently caress is wrong with you, steak cooking 101 is don't salt before cooking.

You can definitely salt it before, this is especially useful with tougher/less high-end cuts of meat.

The trick is to do it at least 45 minutes to an hour before hand. The salt starts to bring the water out of the meat and then brines before being re-absorbed. The longer you let it rest, the more fully it re-absorbs. Makes it more tender and seasons it all the way through.

Anyone who wants to try their hand at cooking steaks for the first time without worrying about ruining an expensive cut of meat, just buy a normal rump steak or new york strip, salt both sides and let it rest on a rack in the fridge for a few hours/overnight. Then cook as usual the next day.

On the Star Citizen madness

I know Glassdoor is an unreliable source of intel on the company, and some here don't want to see full postings from there. But it seems worth noting there has been a rash of new entries in the last couple of days. My guess is that a few of the recent layoffs have led to some scorched earth (but potentially credible?) entries, which are prompting Sandi and/or sperg loyalists to attempt counteractive posts which praise the culture and CEO.

I somehow missed this recent entry, which is the Tsar Bomba of Glassdoor CIG reviews.

“Will leave you with PTSD ”

It's entirely possible that Glassdoor, like Twitter, is just another battlefront in the ego clashes between Sandi Gardiner and Derek Smart, which in itself is bleakly hilarious to imagine. The apocalyptic reviews include so many specific details of run amok CIG culture that they might be Derek Smart's way of laundering ex-employee gossip he's getting via email. The wildly positive reviews hint at (Sandi's?) Derek Smart frustrations with the mention of stupid anecdotes about fictive CIG employees with ludicrous names (Herek Kart, Merrick Shart). It's all inadmissible as evidence, yet incredibly fascinating (to me, at least.)

Anyway, back to Burger talk.
