Cool crock pot dinner man.


Yeahhhhh....

I'll never bother with one of those things. I know my health is going to be on a steady decline until I get rolled into the furnace. I'm in reasonably decent condition aside from the quasi-annual back spasms and smoking. I don't need a score chart to encourage me to walk more.

I mean, it's cool and useful to some people. I'd rather not have one more thing to gently caress with throughout my day.

Agreed.

Also when paired with watch there's a fitness app that unlocks which involves filling in concentric circles and it tickles the lizard part of my brain.

I like both but if you're making satay you drat well better fry and grind your own peanuts

My satay sauce is just frying up a shitload of peanuts, onions, garlic and ginger until the peanuts are nicely golden, tossing in some red curry paste, fry a bit more, toss in water, boil for a while and blitz the poo poo out of it with an immersion mixer. So loving good but goddamn if I could eat that every day :btroll:

Never got the point of that poo poo unless you were an Olympian or to detect cardiac issues

Tells me how hard I'm training, the Garmin gives me a nice number between 1 (easy walking) and 5 (uphill sprint), so if I'm pushing up through the fours I know I need to either have extra rest the next day or chill out. It also tracks pretty accurately how many calories I consume as a function of HR and body weight, and tells me how I'm improving. Plus mine can track the distance I swim in the pool so I don't need to count laps. P. awesome.

Yeah, I'd rather not know. But I was walking 15-20 miles a day for the past few months at work, so keeping track of that poo poo just seems like micromanaging. Just walking that much has brought me back under 200 pounds again, I could care less about many other numbers than that one.

Yay for not being a complete fat rear end.

Got a free Fitbit zip from work and set it up yesterday. Of course I can't actually carry it at work, so that's awesome. I guess I'll count my steps as I walk around or something.

Edit: Oh hey, I want to buy a french press and use the cold brew advice from last year's thread. Anybody have any recommendations?

Any of the Bodums are great, I've had like 3 of them over the years. Also you can actually brew the coffee like normal the night before and just put it in the fridge, you still get all of the aromatic fatty acids extracted and it tastes like velvet sex on your tongue. I don't use any cream since the pinch of salt with the grounds trick takes care of acidity, and you can either sweeten it beforehand or keep a bottle of simple syrup in the fridge like I do for just this kind of occasion.

I had a Bodum that I liked, my ex stole it when she moved out, though.

For cold press, just grind about twice as much coffee as you usually would, add cold tap water, and let it sit at room temperature for 8 or more hours. Strain and drink, or store it in your fridge for a couple days. It'll be super concentrated so you can water it down if you want, and it'll keep for a while longer than regular coffee.

We had a Sega City I think they called it at the huge outdoor strip mall. Place was a dope gigantic arcade with tickets and all that. They had $10 all you can play Thursday's which was dope as gently caress

Of course that place went under at least 15-20 years ago

Arcades are a completely dead concept in the US. Overseas in places like Europe and Asia they seem to be doing a little better, but not amazingly so, they're still confined to really high-traffic areas mostly. Japan has a fuckton of them in downtown Tokyo, and I'm sure their other major population centers all have them too.
