underrated film.

although, when you said "certain organ that used people instead of pipes," I was thinking of a very different, very x-rated euphemism, lmao.

is that what that shit is? christ, i've been having random muscle twitches in my fingers for years... do you know how many times I doubleclicked when I meant to single click on something, or worse, hit a key on the keyboard when i meant to only hit it once? lmao.

besides, it's the dpad thumb, not the jump button thumb, lmao.

weeeelllll, this wouldn't exactly have to be a machine gun... you could use semi-automatics of different calibers instead of automatics and (barely) skirt the tax stamp...

pretty much.

in fact, turok had a rather novel approach where you could switch to a 'left-handed' mode that used the thumb stick and the dpad instead of the buttons.

the dpad is truly tortuous in old games, lmao.

can anyone join in on the recipe submission? If so, i'd like to submit my jerky burger recipe (it's a flexible recipe, so most ingredients are "to taste"):

1 LB ground beef

low sodium soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce

brown sugar

Black pepper (or white if you want it extra spicy) (optional)shredded or cubed cheddar cheese (it really doesn't matter which, ive used either without issue)

Warning: we're breaking some normal burger making rules here, so be aware.

toss the ground beef in a stand mixer with the paddle mixer or food processor (i suspect the mixer will work better, but I don't have a food processor) and let it run while you add +/- a quarter cup of sauce, brown sugar to taste (only need a little bit for smokiness, it shouldn't be sweet. i usually eyeball everything, but about a tablespoon, tablespoon and a half should be plenty), the cheese, and as much black pepper as you can stand, then let the mixer run for a few minutes to get everything mixed through, and to break up the connective tissue thoroughly.

once the meat looks good, divvy it up into four roughly even balls and either smash flat on parchment paper and freeze for at least two hours if you're grilling them (or longer if you're prepping ahead), or move on to the next step for frying.

Frying

heat up your skillet until it starts to smoke, then drop one of your meatballs directly into the pan and smash it flat (use some sort of weight on top of the spatula if you need to), then let it cook until it's, ideally, cooked most of the way through, then flip it over, do the same and transfer to the oven while you toast the bun in the beef fat, then put the burger on the bottom buns and add whatever you like on your burger.

Grilling

heat up the grill while you wait for the burgers to freeze and (optionally) put half an onion in the middle of the grill while you pretoast the buns. it shouldn't take more than half a minute (a minute and a half at most) on either side. set them to the side and leave the onion in the grill. retrieve your patties from the freezer and cut the parchment paper out around them. Put the patties parchment-side down on the grill and cover. check them periodically, but keep the lid on as much as possible, it'll help infuse the flavors of the onion and wood smoke if you're using them, and keep flareups to a minimum.

anyway, once the patties are well cooked, flip them over and use tongs or whatever's handy to remove the parchment paper and discard. same process for the second side, then transfer to your prepared buns.

You shouldn't need any condiments for these, but you can certainly add them to taste.

side note: I can't speak to any other wood, but my kind white oak trees constantly donate wood for our culinary needs quite regularly, and i've yet to buy charcoal since i've moved into this house, and it works fantastically, lol.

i usually reuse the bacon fat for other purposes, like frying eggs and/or hash browns, in the same pan (why waste perfectly good lard?), but it's not a bad idea if you don't use the fat... maybe a modification would be to use a cookie cooling rack to raise the bacon above the the pan so the bacon grease can be captured?

sounds like you mean rotini, but I bet penne would work as well, especially since it's all mixed in the same pot.

oh, a tip. if you've got a wok, it makes a great reducing pan for all kinds of sauces, just keep the food moving while you're reducing.

don't give them ideas, the idiots in charge would do it if they thought they could...

because it's useful to do so. joy reid isn't stupid, she's calculating. she's probably gonna start a podcast at some point. clout-chasing trump is a great way to create public interest.
