    Honestly, I'm a lazy mofo and I cheat. Pretty much every awesome BBQ restaurant here in KC sells their rubs in local grocery stores. I always keep a few shakers of rub from various places on hand. My absolute favorite is Sweet Heat from Smokin Guns BBQ: Smokin Guns BBQ Rubs & Sauces...

    My kid found a whole series of videos on youtube that is nothing but a guy unwrapping cheap toys, like little plastic easter eggs that have candy in them, matchbox cars in blister packs, etc. The kid fucking loves it, and it's the dumbest thing ever.

    The only real difference is if you get a paperwhite kindle. Anything besides a paperwhite kindle is just a stripped-down regular android tablet that is locked by Amazon into only using the Amazon app store rather than the full google play store. They are dirt cheap at times though, but are...

    I agree, but a lot of that depends on the cut of meat too. If you have a nice cut of prime grade Ribeye or KC Strip you shouldn't need to add anything to it. If its a low-grade sirloin or something I might go ahead and use some marinades/oils and additional seasonings.

    I find the steak retains a little bit more heat if you're resting it while covered, and foil is the easiest thing to use. Keeps the steak from going all the way back to room temperature in the 5-10 minutes it rests

    Alternately: 1)Salt the steak(pepper just burns when the steak hits high heat, don't pepper your raw steak). Occasionally I add some garlic powder. Sometimes. 2)sear the shit out of it on a grill that is as hot as the sun. Roughly 2 minutes per side per inch of thickness 3)Remove from...

    Every single new flavor of Oreos always leaves me a bit disappointed. A lot of them are legitimately good, and are damn fine cookies compared to any other cookie, but absolutely none of them beats just a plain, normal Oreo.

    Since I don't have a smoker, I occasionally make carnitas/pulled pork the ghetto way. Crock pot it on low for 8-10 hours, then after I pull it all apart I put it on a baking sheet under the over broiler for like 10-15 minutes just to crisp up the tips & edges a bit to simulate the bark you'd...

    The 5930k isn't really a gaming processor. Being a 6-core processor it's quite a bit of waste and overkill if all you are doing is gaming on it. It's like $200 more than an 6700k and is 0% better for gaming(and arguable worse). It's a beast of a processor if you're doing video editing...

    I do ghetto fish tacos a lot. Just take frozen tilapia filets (buy in bulk at Costco), thaw, and then bake in a greased glass baking dish at 350 for like 20 min. I rub a shitload of taco seasoning into the filets for flavor before baking, almost like a bbq rub. Just thoroughly coating. Sure...

    Just random FYI, that Acer monitor isn't "2K", whatever that means. Not sure if you added that or if it was just copy/pasted from a product description. It's just a widescreen 1080p, it's 25% wider than a "normal" 1920x1080 monitor. Nowhere near as large as 2 1080p monitors(or "2k") It's...

    Don't have any equipment to detect IR, and I'll have to research it but they were pretty much the cheapest LEDs available at Lowes...that could be part of my problem. Maybe they're cheap for a good reason.
