Applebees Appetizer posted:Thanks. Yeah not worried too much about him, I would be kinda shocked if they started busting people with medical conditions. It's the recreational users that need to worry more I would think. Dude, it's all about easy targets. Same reason ICE are going after the undocumented guys working kitchens and the like instead of the criminals, because they show up to a place at a regular interval and are thus easy to find. Not gonna tell you not to smoke, but like NM says, federal felonies are tough raps to beat, and the DEA can bootfuck you over your home grow op at will then seize everything you own and auction it to fund their next hit, legal as can be.

Olympic Mathlete posted:I straight up don't even know what the gently caress ranch is. I mean I've heard of it obviously but I've no idea what it's made of or similar to. Sour cream, buttermilk, dill, garlic, onion, parsley, mustard, chives, and black pepper. It's basically vaguely herbal white goo.

Alton Brown introduced me to throwing a steak onto clean hardwood charcoal coals directly. My God, if you like a seared but still rare steak it is great.

Coarse salt, cracked pepper, and let it rest once you pull it off. If you cut into it right away all the juices will run out, so give it a couple minutes on a plate under some foil to re-absorb them.

Buying white meat chicken is such a waste, though. It's got approximately no flavor, and dries out if you look at it wrong. Bonless thighs forever.

slidebite posted:You'll be first on the list SSS. Get yourself a styptic pencil. It'll shut those nicks up right away. Seminal Flu posted:Yep to both of these. My wife and I had some stupid-thick Strip steaks last weekend. Once you get seasoning and cooking down, there is no benefit to a steak house. You can absolutely hit peak steak in your own house. I like steak frites and neither have a deep fryer in my apartment, nor want to keep one stocked with peanut oil so I can make fries every couple weeks. That's about the sum total of why I go out for steaks sometimes. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Mar 3, 2017 |

Cage posted:With a 15 year mortgage and the hoa fee I'll be paying $550 per month heat included. I might be able to find a studio apartment for that much, but not a 2 bedroom like this is. You are talking about moving into an apartment building you will own part of, but not have control over the building maintenance. Think about that. You have no control over your neighbors not lighting the whole building on fire. Or the roof falling off and needing to be replaced because the condo board cheaped the gently caress out ten years ago when it was reshingled.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Still is in my opinion. As long as you approach your house not as an asset but as it truly is, the benefits of ownership are very much there. Kinda wish they didn't cost a gazillion bucks like they do in Sydney, this place is hosed if you want to buy. Or more precisely, have fun paying 750,000 for a shoebox if you don't want to live 70km out from the CBD. Yeah, I'd disagree. Property is cheap out here in the flyovers, but I am holding off on buying because the last decade has taught me that there is no such thing as job security anymore. I can bail on a rental and be out an extra month's rent if I have to move to chase work availability. Not so much if I have to try and sell a house in a town that's just had a economic downturn.

Still GOPland, but people aren't huge assholes about it and the cities reliably go blue. The pay's probably better up by the twin cities, though. Go west, young man!

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Yeah exactly. I was listening to the police scanner when they called in the tags... it's a 2004. That has to be one of maybe a dozen early QR25s still running. One of the little subsumed suburbs here in town has one single major street that goes through it, and suddenly drops from 40 to 25mph for the 10 block stretch. They got told they couldn't have a speed camera, so they went out and bought the world's cheapest Ford Focus, strapped that camera setup and a speed gun to it, and parked it in the median. Made ~$30k in a month on speeding tickets alone.

Dude, I hear the same thing from my doc at 6'6" and 375. Lightest I've been since high school was 285, and I was a beast at that weight and actually in shape enough to crank out pull-ups. Trying to get back there, but losing a hundred pounds is slow in your mid 30's.
