I think you’re right. My brother was on someones Plex for awhile once. And one day the owner asked him how he was liking xyz show he was watching.
Innocent enough, but still weirded him out. He stopped using it immediately after that. Doesn’t want to be observed, even casually.
Best on well done, because it moistens the overly dry meat.
I say this as a lover of A1, and lover of medium steaks.
I grew up with leather and A1, and I still like that from time to time. Now I’ve come to love medium steaks, and if seasoned and cooked correctly, I don’t need A1. Though I still crave it, and will use it on my own steaks at home.
All in all, steak is delicious.
Good Lord that’s expensive!
So…
If someone was just looking for basic grinding, but with the precision of baratza, would it be ok to get the encore for $150? Or are you literally leaving flavor performance on the table?
Like I get it, precision grinding is critical to flavor. But where do the diminishing returns start?
Right now we use the built in grinder on the breville.
And I have a burr grinder that we got dirt cheap somewhere, but it’s finest grind is still quite coarse. I use it for the occasional flavored coffee, I know better than to put that through the GOOD grinder.
I mean, yeah. Though that’s less recommended these days. I run Debian on proxmox for different server needs. And my laptop is fedora bluefin.
Desktop, as infrequently used as it is, still runs Windows for the few times a year when I absolutely need Windows on bare metal. Plus I keep a Windows 10 VM on the server for the one every month or two that I need it. Try as I might to get away from windows, when you’re part of a team, and the only one running Linux, sometimes you get weird incompatibilities, and you just need to do it on Windows 🤦♂️
Any neutering tool recommendations?
I’ve tested keep talking and nobody explodes. Great game from years ago! Works great on frame, standalone. Highly recommend.
I have a cheap thin battery bank that only does 15w.
With that in my back pocket, and a cable to the back of the head, I can play beat saber, and while it definitely doesn’t charge the frame, it slows its drainage to a handful of percent an hour. Which is fine for me, the whole setup is so light you don’t even notice it.
This is my first time with VR of any kind so take that with a grain of salt.
Thanks! I’ll play through hl2 first then.
Hl2, ep1, and ep2 are all in the same game now on steam I understand? Valve combined them I think?
That’s fair, that makes sense. I appreciate that insight.
What about the storyline? If I play alyx before hl2 will I regret it?
My sister in law has the same machine, with the plastic collar.
We got an aftermarket aluminum one for ours, and it feels much better. Does the same job, ultimately, but cheaper and feels premium.
Hmm, I’m very new to VR. The frame is my first VR.
I’m worried about spoiling myself playing Alyx first
Not every trip, and not every time. But on some more glamping type trips, absolutely. It makes me wildly popular lol
How is the VR mod?
I was about to start alyx for the first time, and realized I never finished HL 2.
Should I do it in VR?
Hey look! It’s my espresso machine!
We got ours at the beginning of covid, still going strong. It’s survived a move, and several camping trips where we run it off a generator, from the trunk of the car.
It’s all automated, but you can run it in manual mode if you ever get fancy with your coffee (I haven’t yet). Heck, I still use the double wall cup for more consistency and ease. Plenty tasty.
$400 is a good price, also. Pretty sure it was 600 when we got ours, and that was on sale 🤔
Maybe some kind of hyper-legality? Not “cracking” the code to rip and convert it?
Had some friends over the other night. Busted out my vintage copy of catchphrase, the one with the paper disc. We had a blast with that thing, hours worth. Good times.
All the shirtless people, it must’ve been hot in there, all those computers and CRTs dumping out heat.
Oh God, I can smell it.
Same here. It’s still occasionally a problem, someone will be phoning while we’re hanging out. But generally we’re all in tune with each other.
The problem I’ve been having lately, is my SO wanting to text every new exciting thing we do or buy, to our friends. I’m trying to be balanced about it, but I prefer to have fun stories to tell in person. Or have a new purchase be a surprise for the group when I bring it out.
I’m not anti phone, I text too, and tell people stuff before I see them. So again, I’m trying to be balanced, so I don’t make a big fuss. It’s just on my mind.
Edit: for reference from the other commenter, I’m definitely not over 60. Much younger. Though not a youth.
Is that because youffogato what its called?
I won’t turn away a medium rare steak. It’s quite good on fact. But I’ve found with my palette, I’m more sensitive to being too rare than too done, having grown up on leather.
Like, rare is delicious, but if the cook does it wrong, myself included, then the texture and temperature of the meat is off putting to me.
My father in law gave a steak that was wedge shaped, so the thin end was overdone, but the thick end was beyond raw, on the inside. I struggled to eat that, though I did.
That being said, I also love beef tartare, so, go figure 🤷♂️
Thanks for the tuna recommendation, maybe I’ll have my SO order it and I’ll try some. I’m starting to like fish, in small doses. But my mom is allergic, so growing up we never even had it in the house, so I never learned to like it. That and my first introduction to it was some swampy pond Bass that my friend swore was delicious. It was not. It tasted like bad fish smells. That set me back a decade or two. But again, I’m coming around.
I like certain salmon meals, perch, crab, etc. Heck, canned tuna just went on the menu for me this year, so, progress.
