    - Indeed, otherwise you have to drop a mini-gun and hide it, go sell some stuff then come back and get it. Gets tricky. -- nm - volnelk Apr 5, 09:30 3
      - Yup. First thing to do in each new settlement is drop a safe into the ground at the fast travel point. - Spawn Apr 5, 09:33 2
        
        I take it safes are something that you can craft with the junk you pick up? -- nm - IrishStephen Apr 5, 09:47
        
        when did you play Fallout??? -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 09:47

- They lost me when interleague play wasn't a special thing. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 5, 09:17 2

  - Hard to see what role it fills beyond existing tools -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Apr 5, 09:34 2

    - You ever take a dog to the vet and get it "fixed"? -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 09:33
  - Because Obama's fault obvs. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 09:29
  - They should lean into it and say that the mercurial POTUS isn't happy with Bannon's job performance. - David Apr 5, 09:11 7
    - This guy looks like he's one vodka gimlet from blowing his brains out. - Mel Profit Apr 5, 09:15 6
      - That's totally what he drinks, isn't it. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 09:23 2
        
        He drinks Vodka because...obviously he does. But a gimlet is classy and plays in DC. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 5, 09:24 1
        
        But not *too* classy. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 10:09
      - He's a Full Metal Jacket character who somehow snuck into the West Wing. -- nm - David Apr 5, 09:15 2
        
        *great* comparison. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 5, 09:17 1
        
        The dead know only one thing: it is better to be alive. -- nm - Steve Bannon Apr 5, 09:26
  - actually both of those said Bannon was watching Flynn -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 09:05

- ~People try to throw us out (talkin' 'bout defenestration)~ -- nm - Baronspringa Apr 5, 09:16
B2 -I've given up ordering steak at restaurants, because I can do it about as well, at home for cheaper. Same with pasta. -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 09:00 21
- Do you grill it? I make a good steak but I can't get it anywhere close to a steakhouse. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 09:14 2
  - Grill, then bake, then rest. I use the method in Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles cookbook - Roger More Apr 5, 09:26 1
    - The grill seems to be the important part -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 10:02
- I don't even care for steak all that much, so 50+ bucks on it for me, is a waste. - groiny Apr 5, 09:07 6
  - There are maybe eight foods in the world that I truly love, and steak is on top of that list. - David Apr 5, 09:12 5
    - What are the other seven? -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 09:37
    - Next time you are in town for a Braves game, you need to go to Little Alley. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 5, 09:35
    - word -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 09:34
    - *noted for when you finally come up to visit* -- nm - landbeck Apr 5, 09:31
    - I could probably convert easier to vegan than the reverse. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 09:15
- It's not about whether you can do it as well, it's about the experience and the enjoyment of trying the meal -- nm - decline Apr 5, 09:02 9
  - Sure, obviously I'll break the rule for something special. But most restaurats can't match the experience for those meals (for me) -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 09:22 3
    - I wouldn't order a steak at most restaurants either, just the restaurants where you go specifically for that purpose. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 09:31
    - maybe you're going to the wrong restaraunts -- nm - decline Apr 5, 09:24 1
      - No, it's because the experience of "another steak" isn't as valuable to me as the experience of trying something new or different or that I can't make - Roger More Apr 5, 09:30
  - Exactly. -- (edited) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 09:05 4
    - This is the best recipe I've ever seen for making a steak at home. It's originally from David Chang's Momofuku cookbook -- (link) - decline Apr 5, 09:17 3

        (I use a cast iron skillet when I cook mine) - decline Apr 5, 09:55 1
        
        That's what I use too. Usually do it under the broiler, but am really bad at judging how long to leave it in. - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 10:12
- yeah, I've started avoiding pasta for this reason too -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 09:01
Hard crumbly biscuits are the worst -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 08:58 15
- Just grab 'em in the biscuits! -- nm - Humpty Hump Apr 5, 09:16
- Biscuits are kinda useless in general -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:01 12
  - Soft hockey pucks. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 09:35
  - -20 SB Points -- nm - Strongbad Apr 5, 09:23 2
    - I didn't want any StrongBiscuit points anyway! -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:24 1
      - Heh. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 5, 09:49
  - I love biscuits. Big fan. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 09:15
  - Stay out of the south, asshat. -- nm - David Apr 5, 09:12 1
    - I do as much as possible! - ty97 Apr 5, 09:19
  - sometimes I think you are just trolling me when it comes to food (btw, love the IM) -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 09:04 4
    - It's not intentional but I do seem to be evil alternate dimension crash when it comes to food. - ty97 Apr 5, 09:05 3
      - the other day when Jax and I were discussing how to avoid overgrilling a steak and you said you'd prefer a hamburger, i was something something -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 09:07 2
        
        grilled chicken is also a suitable alternative -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:19 1
        
        To dirt, yes. Steak, no. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 09:25
