    Lazy sous vide method: Boiling the water then turn off the heat

    ^This... If you are going for a med-rare steak you ideally want to sous-vide at ~125° for an hour, followed by a quick sear bringing you up to ~135°. Dropping the steak into 212° water in an uninsulated pot will have some.. interesting results. It will lose heat immediately after adding the...

    So, if the universe is expanding...

    Heard a good analogy about this one.. http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/balloon0.html The expansion is like the space on an inflating balloon. The space between us and any other object in space becomes further apart as it expands. More.. https://phys.org/news/2013-11-universe.html

    I've overestimated people again

    Not that it's any excuse, but I have the same gas can and it's a pain in the ass to get going. Once you attach the spout and take the cap off, it needs to be depressed into a slot to dispense anything. The safety implements make it much harder to use than an old fashioned can, and I don't even...

    New to Iphone 7 Jailbreak?

    Apple just stopped signing 10.2 as of a couple hours ago. Most iDevices (except for 7) can jailbreak on 10.2, iPhone 7 devices have a jailbreak on 10.1.1 which is unstable currently. My 6+ on 10.2 is jailbroken and stable. Glad I hopped on it before the signing window closed.

    How many LED lights in your bedroom when you sleep?

    I've got a bunch, but I started sleeping with a face mask so they don't affect me.

    damn atm thieving pos!

    Hah, the plot thickens. https://www.chase.com/checking/deposit-friendly-atms This is from Chase but I'm sure other banks follow similar rules. 50 20's would be 1000 dollars. If he put in 1100, that's 55 bills. He said it spit 120 out at him, likely because he went over the maximum number of...

    damn atm thieving pos!

    So you go to the bank out of hours, put over a grand into the ATM, and rush off leaving your card in the machine. How is this their fault at all?

    So there IS a 4k version of a New Hope!

    Mount ISO. Open with MakeMKV. Rip. This will leave you with an uncompressed MKV. You can run it through Handbrake if you'd like to reduce the file size.

    Any hope for re-installing a ghosted iOS app?

    Maybe by doing something like this.. http://techapple.net/2015/01/4-waysmethods-install-ipa-file-app-iphone-ipad-ipod-online-offline-methods/ You would have to find the IPA for that app, which might be found by googling around.

    I got my Anova today!

    Yeah we have a little butane torch but I'm thinking about upgrading to the blowtorch for a proper crust. I've watched multiple videos (on steak mostly) that uses that method exactly.

    I got my Anova today!

    Did the lamb tonight, turned out great, with a couple of caveats. I needed to sear the fat more on the lamb to give it a better crust, I think my pan wasn't hot enough. I was worried about leaving it in the pan too long and overcooking it. Here are the pics.. In the water bath, total time was 5...

    I saw a bunch of drunks yelling and celebrating on TV well into the early morning, but that's not outside of the norm for Wrigleyville. Haven't heard of anything big outside of a merch truck getting broken into.

    How do you purchase your music: Vinyl / CD / DVD-Audio / MP3?

    Only buy Vinyl Albums, most these days come with MP3 download codes to get full lossless (usually) files.

    Help a Home Improvement Noob Pick a Drill

    As most others have said, spend the extra money and get a proper drill. I have a Dewalt and it's worth every penny. If you cheap out now, you're going to end up getting a better one later on and you will have wasted money on the crap drill.
