lol@wolfy you dare to have misconceptions about cooking? fucking pleb, get out of here with that shit. this topic is for cooking experts only.

Wolfy can have his own opinions, it was unnecessary to offer that much text to make a recipe worse.

Maybe one day he will get a pressure cooker and see the light. Or taste the tender meat. Either way.

I think women have to pay so much more, not just because of styling/coloring etc, but also just because it's a freaking 3-4 hour chat session lol.

Speak for yourself... Women's cuts are always priced higher regardless of the length. I go to a barber and just get my sides and neck shaved with a 0 and get a trim of my hair ends every now and again. Still pay more than men getting a full cut (even with the barber giving me a discount).

I pick my stylists based on the least chitchat and ones willing to listen.

^lol poor people

I'm not poor but why would I spend 3 times as much for the same exact thing?

Because not all hairstylists are created equal and it won't be the exact thing. It's not like you're buying a premade product available everywhere. You're going to a person for their skills.

If you find a good hair person you stick with them.

When I do pork or beef roasts I always brown it in our slow cooker first. Sooo good.

Yours gets hot enough to brown well? Nice.



Mmm this smelled so umami I'm excited for the finished product. Going to have it with some steamed vegetables and brown rice (rice also done in pressure cooker before chili, always comes out perfect).

I hope this style of chili is really good because I passed up a lot of on sale ground meat to give it a try

Omg no

Why is there silver skin/skain/whatever you want to call the membrane that makes everything chewy and nasty still on that meat

Omg no

Or maybe it's a trick of the eyes on one of the pieces in the lower left... Idk

If it's the lower left one that was stirred after barely touching the pot so it's just ghastly undercooked meat colour. You can see the browned bit stuck on top. Membranes are off.

Anyway it's beef browning time



All of that delicious browned goodness stays right in the very pot you cook in. So much extra flavour. I'm going to deglaze with a stout before everything gets loaded in.

If you are going to be gone all day though, really no reason not to make the much superior slow cooked version. The rib meat becomes incredibly tender and juicy and the flavor spreads throughout the whole chili.

Dude I'm not going to reply to all of this but pressure cooked meat comes out better than slow cooked. It's science. The maillard reaction can take place at pressure temperatures (though I prefer to brown first for fond anyway). Spices and other things infuse into the meat far better. And the texture is preferable.

Even when I have all day I'll still pressure cook. Like today. And it will be great. Ps you add the beans at the end after pressure and still let it slow cook for an hour and it's all integrated very well at the end.

You should try ribs that have been dry rubbed and pressure cooked in beer and finished on the grill. Best ribs you're going to get without a smoker.

I've always thought his chili looked really good, I just can't justify buying a pressure cooker just for that.

Dude you can justify a pressure cooker for the countless other amazing food. I use it for curries, stock, rice, sauces, meats, soups... Anything you would use a slow cooker for you can use a pressure cooker. In pressure cookers you can also make things like cheesecake. And if you get something like an instant pot it is also usable as a slow cooker. 100% worth the money.

Then why do people with leukemia need donors of the exact same race. Mixed race leukemia patient have the hardest time to find donors, because they need the exact same mix.

Genetics and the immune system treating unfamiliar matter as a threat. You need to have matches on certain types or rejection is likely. Same with blood... You need an appropriate blood type or bad things happen, but ethnicity does not factor in. It gets more complicated with organs and marrow where genetic markers make the difference between acceptable and rejection.

When it comes to matching human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types, a patient’s ethnic background is important in predicting the likelihood of finding a match. This is because HLA markers used in matching are inherited. Some ethnic groups have more complex tissue types than others. So a person’s best chance of finding a donor may be with someone of the same ethnic background.

Without genetic similarity between the donor and the patient, the new white blood cells will attack the host body. In an organ transplant, the body can reject the organ, but with marrow, the new immune system can reject the whole body.

https://bethematch.org/transplant-basics/matching-patients-with-donors/how-does-a-patients-ethnic-background-affect-matching/

http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1993074,00.html

Your genetic markers have to do with common ancestry and the pool of donors. The fact is that these can vary greatly even in related individuals. And many people of the same race may not have similar family history and don't share genetics needed for a transplant.

To find a marrow match for anyone is hard. Even within one's own family, the chances of finding one are only about 30%. According to the World Donor Marrow Association, while two out of three Caucasians find a match, the chances of a patient from another ethnic background can be as low as one in four. Despite rapid improvements in marrow registries around the world, the global registry is still disproportionately represented by the U.S., U.K. and Germany — all predominantly Caucasian countries. For a multiracial person, the chances are usually even worse. Athena Mari Asklipiadis, the founder of the California-based Mixed Marrow, one of the only outreach groups devoted to recruiting mixed race donors, says "the numbers are quite staggering ... People compare it to winning the lottery."

So I don't know exactly what your point is. There are genetic differences between people in the same race. Everyone has a unique genome. Immune systems reject foreign material and for some particular transplants the matches have to be a lot more exact.

Some laundry you can't just wait to wash. Kid pees the bed? Laundry time.

Stay at home parents don't get days off. The nice thing about a job out of home is you work it and you're done. Yes you have things to do at home, but nothing like a stay at home parent. They don't get days off, they don't get vacation, they don't have a job that just ends after 8 hours. They're always working or on call and getting paid nothing. It's pretty thankless. However they make it work is fine and not my place to judge the efficiency of their laundry queue.

I don't think Daenerys is amazing or without flaw. She did start messing everything up big time. She is interesting and still quite young, learning about being a leader (and not being great at it). A lot of the time her heart means well and she doesn't approach things from a place of understanding.

I cycle 20 km a day, burns about 800 calories, yet over the last year I've gained 3kg (not muscle mass). You're right.

On another related note I started going to the gym last week as well. I'm not as strong as I was 12 months ago but that's what you get when you eat like shit and skip gym. Been going 5 out of the last 7 days and trying to eat well.

Dear lord, you smoke? That seems... so unlike you :/ Well, anyways, good luck with quitting.

It's really not like me. I smoke(d) a pack a week. It was a coping mechanism for a really difficult time and transition last year (it's better and I didn't kill myself so yay). But it needs to be done with. So no more killing myself slowly with tobacco. It is really pleasurable. :(

I find myself going to the pool/hot tub (okay, mainly the hot tub) next to the gym a lot lately. It's... sort of exercise and only opened back up about a month ago so it appeals to me now.

The pool is super small, though, so you can hardly do any swimming, even when it's empty. I go at night to get the empty pool, but it would be nice if it was less busy during the day so I could go and at least get some of the cooling effect.

When I went to a gym with pools and hot tubs I did like using the hot tub after a good workout and swim.

You can still do some lane swimming at least. Have you tried going really early? That was my swim time, before work. And again after work if it's really hot. It wasn't cooling in the morning (it was down right chilly) but it did refresh.

Are you a Monroe? Not for nothing, it's a pure coincidence, but I knew 3 different unrelated Monroe families and they all had a Coeliac matriarch

Haha dude my adoptive family is a variant spelling of Monroe and I know two matriarchs with the surname that are coeliac. I guess 3 if you count my cousin's wife.

But the irony is I'm not related to them biologically, they're not related to each other by blood, and genetics are the biggest risk factor for the disease. They all married into the name.

What a weird coincidence

Modern life is fast paced, chaotic, and hollow. People are overworked and still struggling to get by with little time or ability to foster meaningful relationships. People are more isolated than ever--from romantic partners, family, and community. Spiritual fulfillment is just not there for most people (or purpose if you'd prefer). Western society offers and pushes relief in material goods that never offer fulfillment or real connection.

When every day is a struggle the weight of the world is heavy on your shoulders. I can see how it gets a lot of people down.

ADHD isn't all negatives--but being someone with ADHD in the wrong environment can be pretty awful. And your average path to a career and life can be pretty darn hard to deal with.

Most things seen as mental health issues now would have been beneficial in their own ways in other cultures and societies. If the issues even manifest in those circumstances.

Modern society and life is a struggle to deal with and the increasing emergence of mental health issues is testament to the difficulty of adaptation.

I would have liked them to do more focus on wealth/fame allowing people to get away with absurd legal defenses that could not be pursued by most people. but alas, that's not the focus of this film. It does use it as an interesting springboard

If controversial figures can so easily silence negative press coverage by spending money, the film asks, what does this mean at a time where a notoriously thin-skinned plutocrat is the leader of the free world?

Sorry, I'm at work and there's a lot to address but I'll try to.

She was in her late 20s when she came out (she's in her early-mid 30s now). It was after our very religious, very anti-gay grandmother passed away. We've spoken about that, and she said she didn't come out because she didn't want to upset or disappoint our grandmother. She was a wonderful woman, just from an era and a religious background that looked at homosexuality as a sin, end of story.

Didn't mean to be insulting insinuating she was solely seeking attention, as if her coming out was any less valid. But I don't completely shy away from that insinuation. If you find that insulting, I apologize, but without going through her history and patterns of behavior and her personality, which would take a lot of time, I couldn't properly frame what it is that I meant. Suffice to say, you'd have to know my cousin to understand.

Thanks for the explanation. That's pretty common to stay quiet about sexuality with religious family members. Plenty of people post about gay rights even if they're cis/het, clearly your cousin isn't straight. Whether she's fully lesbian or not she is still part of the LGBT spectrum. I don't see why that is surprising or confusing that she would support those things publicly now even dating a man.

Though some of these other posters have no excuse for piling on rude assumptions about bisexuality and sexual attraction.

SushiSquid posted...

Yeah I'm a little bothered by that in this topic. To be fair, some people are acting out to get attention. That doesn't mean they don't actually feel those attractions.

If only it was just this topic. It's an unfortunately commonly aired sentiment. People try for attention in many things--sexuality is a deeply personal matter and typically people do not want any attention for it, especially not from the kinds of people that think another's sexuality exists for their own entertainment. Asking for acknowledgement is different from seeking attention.

SushiSquid posted...

It sounds like the topic creator's friend acted as gung-ho as she did for attention. That doesn't mean she isn't still attracted to women. It just means she wanted to rebel against societal expectations. I think we can all empathize with that in at least some way. Calling someone's sexuality a phase is pretty disrespectful.

Or she came out and called herself gay because wanted to avoid being called an attention whore for being bisexual and then still gets called an attention whore for being true to her attraction.

Who someone else dates and has sex with is not about you

(and not you you, but TC and people like him that have come out of the woodwork here)
