I bought tickets (months ago) to see Run the Jewels, which was :krad: in every respect except the two guys who smelled like butt by me:



And while I was there, I spent much more than the ticket price on these:



The shirts are super comfy and the prints are extra thick. I expect them to last many weekend outings. It's especially nice because I destroyed my 3/4 sleeve shirt earlier today and now I have a replacement.

And the poster was only $5 so hell yeah I got that. I love Killer Mike.

Nope.



Raw = Red; Cooked = Pink to Gray.

Cooking sous vide raises the temperature uniformly across the steak(or other food) so that the entire piece reaches, and holds the temp you want for as long as you want.

Cooking a steak sous vide at 134 degrees (where that ribeye was cooked) for 1 hour leaves you with a piece thats cooked all the way through, but the juice hasn't left the steak during cooking, so you get that pink between well-done and rare throughout.

When it comes out of the bath, pat it dry, and toss it in a cast iron skillet or on a grill thats as hot as the sun for a minute or so on each side, and serve. No need to let a sous vide steak sit for 5 - 10 minutes like you would one off the grill, either.

You can get the Anova I have at Target or Amazon for $120.

Do yourself a favor and buy a speed lever from Crank Bros. I can change a tube in <5 minutes with this incredible tool. http://kk.org/cooltools/crank-brothers-1/

Also, for carrying on rides, a Park Tool MT-01 is by far the best and lightest solution. I keep mine on my keychain and it's my favorite pocket tool, bike or not. http://www.parktool.com/product/multi-tool-mt-1

Also, that pump will probably not get anywhere near the psi you need for a road tire, get a few co2 cartridges and an attachment for faster/easier/better flat fixes.

Both of these are awesome, thanks for posting this! Looks like Crank bros updated the product to the speedier lever, but it's still the same concept, and I've now got one the way, as well as that multitool! My old one is rusted to poo poo, and I never liked using the flip out hex keys anyways.

Good luck. I work for one of the more prominent microscope companies and I've heard those Mantis scopes are finicky to service. I've never taken one apart myself though.

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.


I bought it from a great little back alley record shop. It's used but whoever had it before me can't have spun it very many times, it's immaculate.

More like a curator. I buy unloved broken cheap old stereostuff, fix it up and sell it on to enthusiasts. I mostly keep Bang & Olufsen stuff for myself, and finance it with the stuff I sell. I've had bad experiences with Tandberg gear before because you have to go through 30-40 years of dirt, neglect and deferred maintenance, but this one was in very good shape and should play for many many years with a simple service. I've had it playing a few tapes, and the sound quality you can get out of it with recording from a CD onto a good quality tape is pretty amazing!

Had some money left over from Xmas and wanted some so I pens with more ink capacity so I don't have to fill my pen every couple of groups when I'm grading paper. Decided to also buy some fancy colored inks for some extra fun.

Not sure but when I went to the ER for an hour to get an IV after an intense day of neurovirus it was like $1200, so I imagine if they have to actually do anything and you have to stay there for more than a day it adds up quickly

This is not a derail worth doing. Also I was off by $4k and that was just the facility charge.

What does the outlet do? The white square makes me think it's a motion sensor perhaps but IDK.
