Re: Man chat Harris Teeter near me sells dry aged beef. I can buy an entire loving rack if I want but it'll cost me a whole paycheck. I haven't had a grill in a while (townhouse lyfe) and my smoker has been at by buddy's place in DC so proper coal-cookin' is out. However, I've got a bunch of big-fuckoff cast iron pans that work well. Preheat the oven to 500°F with the cast iron inside. Turn off the oven and turn on the broiler. Slap my seasoned meat right on the skillet that is so well season that it sweats bacon fat. I've got a grill pan that I used a couple times but honestly it's kind of a pain in the dick, mostly because it's not well seasoned. As far as shaving, I'm a safety razor, with feather blades, and bay-rum kind of guy. If I could find a good sandalwood shaving cream I'd stick with that.

Fermented Tinal posted:So you're building a mcmansion in a neighbourhood of unoriginality? nah, it's a reasonable sized house, no weird architecture, no wasted space. The kitchen is loving enormous, but there's literally no other space to entertain guests. Which is fine because I live in a townhouse now and I'm used to it. I just was planning on buying a new house in like 3 years, not RIGHT THIS loving MINUTE. It's all good though. I hate sharing walls with people and not being able to wrench on cars or motorcycles. I had to pay a dealership to clear the windshield wiper sprayer pump because it was loving snowing, 30mph winds, and I wasn't up to getting fined by the HOA for working on my truck in a parking spot.

Fermented Tinal posted:Tired? Son you need to convert to the truth and the light that is the buckling spring. Might I suggest: bruh... the Cherry MX clears are like 150% the force required to actuate a Model M switch. They actuate at 65cn and bottom out at 100. I love the clears though. They're perfect for office use because they are so quiet. There's a little bit of a ringing after the switch returns, but I'm not sure if there's a way to dampen that or not. Either way it's nowhere near as loud as some MX blues.

I've got a bunch of headlight bulbs lying around from previous vehicles (I always replaced them in pairs) and I'm thinking about making some desk lamps after I move into my new house. Anyone got a hook on cheap connectors? I'd prefer not to use individual blade connectors or drive to a junkyard.

KozmoNaut posted:I'm currently looking at replacing my Chromebook with a refurbed Thinkpad T420(  keyboard bro.The old Thinkpad keyboards are loving proper. x220 + SSD + IPS screen is still the best loving laptop I've ever used. I bought 2 of them for $100 each with 8gb ram, Windows 7 COA stickers, but no HDD. One had the TN panel the other had an IPS screen and fingerprint reader. The IPS screen is gloriously beautiful and stupidly bright. No webcams, because  A couple of Samsung Evo drives later I'm all set. They play really well with windows 10 and I've literally never had an issue with either of them, except the bluetooth chip on one is really old and doesn't play nice with some things (just disconnect and reconnect usually fixes it) You should loving do it.

Fermented Tinal posted:Back to weight chat, in September of 2016 I was about 265lbs, probably closer to 270lbs. I don't have a bathroom scale but the one I use for weighing bales at work says I now weigh 212lbs fully clothed (resolution of 2lbs and probably +/-8lbs accuracy). I'm 6'3" and am actually starting to get worried because under 200lbs is not really healthy for me. When I was down to 185lbs about five years ago I could see my ribs and shoulder blades. My eating habits have not really changed, I easily consume 3000+ calories a day (sometimes in just one sitting like a true goon) mostly in carbs. Same. I was 6'0, 150-155lbs from about age 18-27. I would eat absolutely anything and everything. Any pizza is a 'personal pizza' if you just believe in yourself. Now I'm 31 and I have to buy pants every year because I'm getting too fat. Oh well. I have a half decent paying job now and a wife and no free time and I just bought a house so life is basically over anyway. Might as well continue to burn the candle at both ends and continue to eat whatever the gently caress I want.

Geoj posted:I can't fathom drinking a sizeable percentage of your calories. I did low carb back in the early 2000s - I've always been a bit overweight but it was really bad between 2005-2008 - and dropped most sugary drinks then. I'll still have a bottle of cane sugar sweetened pop maybe once every other month when the mood strikes, but otherwise I haven't looked back. There's still days where beer/liquor is my only source of caloric intake. This is probably a good portion of my problem.

slothrop posted:Fortunately for me, these days are becoming fewer and further between. It's amazing how much cutting down on booze has made a difference. I'm 33 on Monday and I honestly think I'm at my healthiest since I was 19. Certainly the smallest my gut has been. I'm pretty sure being an alcoholic is a pre-requisite for working in IT. KozmoNaut posted:Well, an X220 with the IPS screen just popped up at a reasonable price. It's got a 320GB spinny-disk drive and 4GB RAM, and I don't know about the battery life*. But it's an X220 with dual-band wifi, Bluetooth and 3G WWAN This is a good and just decision. I still like using my 6 cell and carry a backup 6 cell because the 9cell really fucks up the form factor and you get marginally better battery life. as for the WWAN card. I bought mine for that reason, but now I just USB tether for 4g and use the mini PCIe slot for an mSATA SSD

the spyder posted:I'm not sure if it's just *spring cleaning* time or what, but I just decided to purge as much as I can (with the little time I have). There no reason we need 5 laptops or 8 sets of suspension for Rx-7. I would rather have the money for my projects and to pay off our CC's. I purged when I moved in with my wife. It felt really good at first but slowly devolved into resentment after her mom made her pick up an entire bedroom's worth of books/trophies/crap. I've got an ace up my sleeve though: 12 motorcycles, 2 boats, enough amps and speakers to fill a house and a literal half ton of periodicals. Horticulture, Southern Living, Playboy, Bon Apetit, Virginia, Sport Tuner Magazine, Playstation Magazine, NatGeo, and so on... Martha Stewart, take me home!

We just had our house staged on Monday. GLWS goon buddy. I'm hoping that we can manage to pull off an open house this weekend and get this bitch sold so my wife can stop waffling on whether or not she made the right choice to build a new home. I still think it's retarded to build a new home when there's so many good (and much cheaper) ones out there. But, whatever... happy wife, happy life right?
