    The dissents will make you feel insane. Scalia in particular seems to be frothing at the mouth. On the upside, somebody already created a meme generator with crazy bits...

    Comic Books (And The Movies / Shows Based On Them)

    Can't say it's a surprise- Marvel says the Secret Warriors are coming to next season's Agents of SHIELD. Since Sky / Daisy Johnson / Quake is from those comics, it was only a matter of time...

    FC stopped alerting me to posts in this thread! WTF?? Hate when it does that. Sorry y'all, but this Joaquin Phoenix stuff is a year out of date. They signed Benedict Cumberbatch to play Doctor Strange some time ago. There is a Marvel press release and even an IMDB entry for Cumberbatch as...

    Trying to switch to vaping...

    Like a lot of methods, part of the key is you have to be ready to quit, and really want to quit. I'd hit a point where the cigs were actively interfering with my breathing, constantly (40 year smoker, started when i was 5 - Russian). Also, I started smoking meats much more when I quit, and...

    Trying to switch to vaping...

    FYI- for the folks on here having trouble quitting cigarettes, I went cold turkey using the method in Alan Carr's The Easy Way to Stop Smoking over a year ago, after almost 40 years smoking (20 years of that at 2+ packs a day). Have had maybe three cravings in the entire year. I have quit...

    Lung burn when vaping - bad news for vaping?

    I'd offer, but I'm really busy (handicapped, chronic pain, work full-time, trying to start a business, caring for elderly parents, working on Deadpool and Klingon cosplay). And I can only sight-translate Biblical Hebrew and Medieval Aramaic. Modern Hebrew, I need to slog through with grammar...

    Lung burn when vaping - bad news for vaping?

    Just FYI- there is in fact a decent amount of research on vaporizing cannabis, just not in English (or available for free in any language- behind paywalls). There is more of it in Hebrew than in any other language I know of, mostly from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which has a lab run by...

    The Terpz Enail Review

    What's a flat coil? And do you know where I can find one that'll work with the Terpz?

    The Terpz Enail Review

    This is the first enail I have ever used, and as it is a very new product, it didn't come with the most explicit documentation on how to use it. But that being said, once I figured it out (took less than an hour) I have loved it. Heats and cools damn near as fast as using a blowtorch and nail...

    The Terpz Enail Review

    Well, my terpz finally got here and I am frankly confused. The quartz nail with the heating coil attached does not seal properly on ANY of my glass, 18mm or 19mm. Without the coil it seals fine. And with their titanium nail I also ordered, the nail gives a proper seal, but the heating coil...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    Dude, that is a serious vacuum rig. Been debating going over to a proper one like that, just keep balking at the $$$. Do you find food keeps longer in it? If so it'll pay for itself eventually so I'd be much more likely to get it.

    Did You Know.........

    And that each such reiteration of the memory is called a 'repisode' in experimental psychology.

    Ribs- I usually let ribs sit with a rub on at least overnight. Not much more than 24 hours though or the salt can start pulling fluid out creating a brine (depending on amount of salt- I tend to use less than most recipes). And definitely remove the membrane. Pretty easy to do. Here's a...

    Nice use of capers. Love them with lox. If it's baked and breadless it's a frittata. Unless it's on a bed of potatoes, then in some places it'd be a gallimaufry.

    This is a "must see".

    Totally agree- back around 2000 I almost died from Neurontin toxicity, but that crap is still being used for seizures all over the place. And @JCat is completely correct re LSD. See the legendary Spring Grove study. I went to undergrad across the street from Spring Grove, and my mom used to...

    We officially have a new Punisher in the MCU- Jon Bernthal. Can't even get to the official Marvel announcement - demand seems to have crashed their site. I heartily approve. Though a Member of the Tribe from DC, he does good New York and Italian...

    the Michael Brown thread

    And my entire point is they are NOT equal opportunity killers. Equal opportunity killing would mean comparable to population proportions, or black people being about 16% of police killings. That is not the case, as the data you provided demonstrates.
