hard counter posted:... like i'm sure a proud mom getting a commemorative tat of her newborn (or a soldier of his buddy, whatever) Never understood this, either. Would you forget that your child/friend existed if you didn't have a tattoo related to them? I'm not trying to be snide, I genuinely don't get it.

Solice Kirsk posted:Vodka is awesome because the better it is the less it tastes like anything. If you can find Wheatley's Vodka drop the ~$20 on it and never look back. Tito's is also an acceptable cheap amazing vodka. If Alton Brown is to be believed that's due to the higher priced stuff being purified more. So what you do is get one of those brita pitchers you pour the water into and it purifies it on your countertop. Only instead you buy cheap vodka and send it through the pitcher 5 or 6 times, and have absolutely top shelf quality stuff for bottom shelf prices.

Good Vodka's main bragging right is that it tastes slightly less like rubbing alcohol than cheap Vodka. I saw that Alton Brown thing too but I wonder if it was that simple, why aren't cheap vodka companies just running it all through purifiers and wiping out the upscale brands?

I think a lot of cheaper vodkas do do it but it I think it comes down to mostly marketing. Most people who aren't biased going in will say a vodka like svedka, about 17 dollars a handle, is at least roughly on par with the top shelf stuff that costs 4 times as much. But it doesn't have a fancy bottle or name recognition so when people want to buy something to impress people with their "taste"+money they always reach for the grey goose, belvedere or ciroc even if they can't taste the difference. Regarding tattoos, I don't have any and likely never will, but it's definitely not for moral reasons or "my body is a temple" or whatever. I think it is fine to make fun of peoples' tattoos as long as you aren't coming from that perspective - like with many things, a lot of people do make genuinely awful decisions on what tattoos to get and deserve to be laughed at (in a light-hearted way, unless it's like that pokemon hentai tattoo a goon (?) got across his whole arm).

Ytlaya posted:Yeah, that was back in college (I'm 31 now) and I haven't ever spent that much since. My $150 ones were actually Shures. Before them I hadn't ever had anything better than cheap supermarket headphones, so that's partly why I noticed such a huge difference. A huge chunk of their market is professionals (first time I used a pair was in a TOP SECRET MILITARY THING where people wore them for hours on end) so even their cheaper stuff is good, comfortable, and durable. I guess this was just an endorsement and not related to the thread but

I would actually say Grey goose tastes noticeably less lovely (by that I mean it's still lovely because it's Vodka but it's tastes less like something you should be cleaning wounds with) than Svedka. Vodka is terrible though. The entire idea behind "good" vodka is that it's basically a date rape drug. Bad vodka is for bums to drink when they are dying in an alley.

Alton Brown chat: I was at a Costco when he had a book signing starting and there was a huge line. He showed up right on time and looked happy to be there. Seems to buck celebrity chef stereotype by being a decent human. Plus his sushi rice recipe is excellent. Content: I don't think most single people in apartments should own dogs. The animals need more space and time than they can provide. I've known too many people who try to cram multiple dogs into a studio, or put the dog in the bathroom and teach it to poop in the tub. Even more responsible owners constantly need to leave work to walk the pet or arrange last second care. Dogs are awesome, but wait until they fit your life situation. Unless you can bring it to work or have the money to hire a walker every day.

Regarding dogs, not neutering/spaying them is a sign of being "riff raff" as Jastiger likes to say. Also, there is absolutely no reason to buy/seek out a purebred dog unless it is bred specifically for a working task that you need it to do. Buying a purebred and/or "designer breed" as a family pet is idiotic. Whether you paid 5000 dollars for your dog or 50 dollars to adopt them, get them fixed, we don't need more accidental puppies that will end up dead or in shelters. It puts me at odds with the attitude of pet owners I've met in europe. They don't have the same pet overpopulation problem as the US does, but still, why not get them fixed? It's a quick, cheap and simple operation and people who think it "ruins" the pet's personality are delusional.

The problem is, what if someone starts out in a house and needs to move to an apt? Do the need to get rid of their dog? That seems unfair to both the owner and the dog. E: Alton Brown rules. I find most celebrity chefs completely insufferable but I would love to kick it with Alton Brown for an evening.

If someone offers me a drink with my meal, I may accept, but I'll wait till I'm done eating to drink it. So what happens if you're eating something super dry like biscuits or crackers or something? You just tough it out until you're finished?

veni veni veni posted:Some dogs are probably fine in an apt, but this is true of a lot of breeds. Oh I understand when people may need to unexpectedly downsize their housing situation and didn't plan on putting a dog in an apartment, and I don't advocate canine confiscation. I'm thinking more of my multiple friends and family members that made the choice to adopt a furry toddler without having the time, living space, or money to care for the animal. If a working person has the resources to lavish unlimited attention on a dog so it isn't left alone ten hours a day (looking at you, cousin who spent five figures operating a labradoodle airline from Alaska to Oregon) then it's their money. I just think it is a bad call to take on a dog when a person doesn't have the space or time. Also, I'd be in favor of permanently making Christmas Eve the last Saturday of December, then Sunday Christmas, then Monday federal holiday. Non-participants can enjoy the three day weekend.

I don't disagree with the first two sentences. I hate how the biscuits don't absorb the gravy. If I'm going to go whole hog on some ridiculous breakfast I'd rather do chicken fried steak. I'd rather just do some eggs potato and meat though.

You cut them up with your fork and/or knife and swirl them around in the gravy to get more absorption. They're not a thin slice of bread that sucks things up like a sponge.
