    Guanciale I’ve had has all been smoked. This stuff I got looks pretty heavily smoked. Since people keep talking about it I’ll cook it tomorrow morning if I got time and take some pictures.

    Tokyo, Japan

    It’s 546$ atm for two weeks, and most bullet trains start at 100$ a ticket. 3 day trips and it pays for itself. I can see situations where it doesn’t make sense, but the cities in Japan can be so incredibly different and cool in their own ways, and Shinkansen is awesome, so I can’t see going...

    Pancetta is nothing like guanciale. It’s pretty easy to find in like Italian specialty stores, though it’s usually stupid expensive.

    I make carbonara with it usually. It’s basically extra fatty bacon, and then you incorporate that fat into a bacon fat egg and cheese sauce. Incredibly delicious and you are missing out on the good things in life if you like bacon and have never had carbonara guanciale. It’s super simple and...

    That’s true for most objects in the sky, but for the really bright ones like the closer planets not so much. It comes down to precise focus being more important. I’ve never messed with his type of telescope, but it’s design being targeted to cleaning up fainter images might be less than ideal...

    I can’t disagree more. If you are going to do bullet trains at all it’s a huge steal, and it works for like 97% of the country. Only reason not to is if you plan to stay in one city your whole trip. I’m an early riser, so I’d do things like wake up at five, bullet train to a city and spend my...

    WinCo had skin on smoked guanciale made in Oregon next to the bacon for like 2.98$ a pound. That's the cheapest fucking guanciale I've ever seen. I'm expecting some sort of evil trap, but I was too curious to resist buying. Edit: Hill Meat Company: Bacon, Fresh Sausage, Smoked Sausage, & Ham is...

    This is true in a lot of the US right now. It's a renters market and you need to be prepared to handle losses for a while renting out newer properties. For some people it can be worth it, but you are in a far from ideal financial situation to take that risk imo. Some people hate on renting in...

    Pretty sure his base hit was 4x always, but flurry added 4 more hits. I can't remember if he always flurried, but he flurried a LOT. Don't ever remember seeing anything other than 4 or 8 swings. Now what its like on EMUs don't know. I never really tanked on them, I can only really speak to OG.

    I remember AOW hitting for like 8x1150 or so without defensive. He could one shot tanks until you were pretty decked out in shadows gear. He wasn't that difficult any more, but even into pop you'd still lose people on the tank transitions with how fast he hit. Least that's how I remember it...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I don't really even see it as a big leap forward. I think I've said in this thread the CMB light could be exclusively stars. It's the simple obvious natural philosophy conclusion from the fact that something moderates star light energy over distance in the galaxy. We know this for a fact, it's...

    My call in your situation would be to sell. You should make out a nice profit, and 120k saved up for retirement is probably okay at your age but not great. Selling keeps your options open, which is what I'd gravitate toward. From there I'd rent, but keep all the money I got keeping an eye open...

    Depends on your standards. If you're willing to capsule life you can keep it to around 2.5k total. Lodging is going to be your biggest expense if not. Hotels get expensive quick in japan. JR-pass is non-negotiable. You must buy one if you're going to japan. Their public transportation goes...

    I've been shitting on pretty much everything quantum since the start of this forum. It's only useful as a form of mathematical estimation of reality. The people who try to say it actually represents reality are one and all retarded.

    Are you talking original eq, or tlp? I saw bazillions of raids die back in og eq. TLPs are fundamentally easier than the game was back then and you have a way higher general knowledge in the player base. Albeit admittedly small still, but something is better than nothing.

    You can get away with that in some classes, but EQ definitely had skill gaps. Someone maximizing their class can be a literal god compared to sandwich players… it’s just that situations that allow you to show that skill off don’t come up too often in regular play. One of things that makes me...

    Yeah, out on the Pacific Ocean in the dark waters, dry air and no moon, the sky becomes almost surreal looking. The best night sky I ever saw was about 900 miles west of Columbia.

    The other thing that makes me completely ignore gold as an asset is the history of things like executive order 6102. What good is a wealth reserve when the government has a history of forcing you to sell it at half price or become a criminal.

    Honestly, I think our trajectory is more in line with greece. At some point the banks are gonna raise the middle fingers and start downgrading US debt, and the US will have two paths. Painful austerity or financial collapse. The first is more likely. Everyone will get the squeeze for a while and...
