loving cunting Amazon's lovely loving Kindle service making this retarded loving rented math textbook not loving available on loving Cloud Reader so I have to loving dig out my lovely old loving 2013 Nexus 7 tablet to squint at instead of my nice loving 17" laptop. First day starting school tomorrow, off to a loving brilliant start.

I may or may not have anxiety about taking this lovely little Math 083 class (3-week winter semester btw) after the ruinous, drawn-out shitshow last time I tried this like a decade ago.

gently caress it, gonna get up earlier tomorrow than I have since I got out and go do like an hour of cardio before class.

Well a merry gently caress you, too. Felt like poo poo after class and assumed it was just lack of sleep, came back home and intended on napping for like two hours. Woke up after an hour with my guts in the middle of a vigorous tumble cycle, a spastic five year old playing with my body's thermostat, and I can't remember where in my poo poo I've got a thermometer stashed.

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 think the tipping point for me between "regular drinker" and "raging alcoholic" is if I actually do end up taking a chunk of my blood money this month and snag a kegerator. It's disturbingly easy to drink 12+ beers a night when you've got poo poo on tap instead of actual empties sitting around.

The og 4loko was dope though. One of those and just drink a couple beers the rest of the night and you're good. God forbid you drank two in one sitting though.

OG 4Lokos were some amazing, frightening poo poo. I still don't understand to this day how the gently caress those things work, like the ABV and ingredients somehow combine and synergize to make something with a massively greater potential to get you blacked the gently caress out while the sun's still up. Two was like an instant off switch for pretty much anybody <200lbs, and three didn't care how much of a corn-fed mountain of retard strength and cast iron liver you were because you were going to end up passed out in the drunk tank either stark naked or making GBS threads your pants.

I had an O-5 flight doc who was unable to determine whether my symptoms were due to appendicitis or a kidney stone. In a major AFB hospital that no longer possesses any diagnostic imaging equipment. And the only reason I even got to see a doc is because I threatened the idiot at the desk that I was going to have an ambulance come and pick me up right in front of her desk if she didn't do her loving job. Had stone-removal surgery later that day.

How the flying motherfuck is someone too loving lazy or stupid to do basic diagnostic tests? Like what the gently caress, all it takes to strongly suspect one over the other is maybe two minutes of talking while you poke and prod.

Hell, reasonable suspicion of appendicitis is (normally) enough to be prioritized as a Really Bad Thing just in case.

Your body can eventually find its way out of flying squirrel mode, but that's entirely dependent on a bunch of poo poo starting primarily with your prior fat-ness and how much actual excess skin you end up with.

I was ~240 when I got out, steadily working my way down to maybe cracking 200 for the first time since basic while simultaneously getting that retard strength back. Burn off the last bit of this pony keg, break the state powerlifting records with my opening attempts, that kind of thing. Maybe do a side-by-side comparison "One Year Later" pic to send to some of the retards I know that are still in because I'm only slightly vain and petty.

poo poo's definitely helping with my attempts to snag a future sugar momma from Johns Hopkins and roll in that dermatology or plastics money.

$25 for a french press. Add 10 scoops of coffee, 3 cups of water, stir, cover with ceran wrap at least overnight (I usually leave it for a day or longer if it's the weekend since I usually only drink it for work). Use the press, pour into something else and use it as a concentrate...I usually fill about half my mug with it, then top off with hot water from the kettle.

It's about 45 seconds of prep, once a week. No bitterness, and I haven't had stomach problems from coffee since I started doing this.

Way the gently caress late but have you tried just brewing it, letting it cool off, and sticking it in the fridge to chill? I actually started to try the cold-brew method but ended up forgetting my Stanley on the counter and figured I'd just huck it in and see how it turned out cold.

PS: If any of you fucks aren't doing the pinch of salt with the grounds trick, shame on you. Enhances the flavor while eliminating any bitterness that's probably caused by using too-hot water, poo poo beans, and/or poo poo roasts.

Yeah, and I can definitely tell the difference. There's zero bitterness in mine. I don't have a problem with the taste of normally-brewed coffee, but this is just better. And I'm using Tim Hortons ground stuff, nothing fancy. I might try the pinch of salt thing too. Not sure if it'll have the same effect without heat.

You goddamn turdmuffin, no wonder it tastes funny if you're using some three month old oxidized, pre-ground bullshit. If you're going to go down the path of coffee autism you better be prepared to buy a burr grinder (french press = super coarse grind), and either fresh roast beans or go all out and do the roasting yourself.

Google "slow cooker pulled pork sandwiches" and it's the first recipe from Food Network. Basically just dried mustard, cumin, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and pepper rub that you slap on and brown the fucker a little bit on all sides before you throw it in the slow cooker. Might have to cut it up a bit like Godholio says if it won't fit, but after the browning it's just toss poo poo in, add enough water to kinda maybe cover the shoulder, and let it go for 12+ hours. Oh, and I also add liquid smoke to the crock pot portion.

Despite being raised by hill people in North Carolina during most of the summers of my formative years, a KC-native roommate of mine at Drum introduced me to Arthur Bryant's and it's been my default barbecue sauce since. Smoky, spicy, tangy, and just a liiiitle sweetness to balance it out.
