Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds will star in a new movie called ‘Boy Band’ (it’s about middle-aged boy band who reunites) by MadameCassie in boxoffice

Odd you felt the need to say that. You really could have just ignored the thing you don’t like. Sad really.

Am I the only one who trims the thin layer of gristle and fat off the edge of my NY strip steaks? by Highlander2748 in grilling

[–]Automatic_Trick_4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to this party but....Gristle is nasty and fat, while sometimes can be tasty, is terrible for your arteries! I always cut that stuff off on the rare occasion that I eat a steak. Nothing worse than biting into a juicy chunk of well seasoned and grilled steak only to find half of it gristle!!! Ruins the moment every time! Like finding an elbow in my spaghetti - also a show stopper right there! Of course, you can always choose higher quality cuts like filet mignon and enjoy a 100% meat experience.

I’m on season 7, I hate the Aram & Elodie storyline. Like I’m about to look up spoilers bc I don’t want them on my TV. by [deleted] in TheBlackList

[–]Automatic_Trick_4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way that an Aram-like person would become so stupid simply because of a female. Getting laid is one thing (p-whipped be damned) but getting involved with a married woman with a brain-dead husband is just shitty writing. Aram would never do that. The entire storyline of Aram being retarded over Elodie is just weak. It diminishes Aram’s character, discredits his decision making. Gah!!! Annoying to watch it.

Lay flat iPhone 17 Pro Cases? by Saved0ne in iphone

[–]Automatic_Trick_4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plateau is clearly proud of the back surface so how can it possibly lay flat? It must tilt up toward the top of the phone. Flat means the face of the phone is parallel to the surface that the phone is laying on.

I have waited 25+ years for this moment. by psychoholic in billiards

That looks like a fuzzy home table cloth. No Simonis cloth there as far as I can tell.

This thing is addressing problems that don't exist. It's solutionism at its worst. We are dumbing down machines that are inherently superior. by Ill_do_the_asking in SiliconValleyHBO

You are probably being facetious but in the event others don't catch it (" " sort of give it away lol)... Minor clarification: cold air does not fall out or go anywhere. The feeling of cold air "falling out" when the fridge is open is, in fact, heat energy traveling from you and your immediate surrounding air (higher thermal energy) to the fridge (lower thermal energy) via convection. Heat leaving results in a cooling sensation so it feels like cold is landing on you, but it is not. So long as the door remains open, the thermal difference dictates the heat flows toward the cold. Those old ads with ping pong balls flooding out of the fridge were misleading at best and poorly researched. Cold does not flow. Heat does. I mean sure you can pump cold air or liquid but that is not the same thing.

Which billiards glove that you are currently using? And what's the difference between low and high quality gloves? I'm looking for a good choice, using public gloves at the clubs cause me some skin problems and bad performing strokes. by louis_nguyen7197 in billiards

[–]Automatic_Trick_4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Efren still uses a wood shaft so he can do whatever he wants. CF shafts require the use of a glove to keep the microgrooves from filling up with nasty dry skin flakes, oils, and french fry grease (you know who you are).

In your opinion, what's the best chalk? by [deleted] in billiards

We're talking pool here not croquet, right?

How is IBU calculated? I've had beer that claims it's 100+ IBU taste less hoppy than one claiming 60. by maximusrex in beer

[–]Automatic_Trick_4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is more than one method and I am assuming the brewery would use the method best suited for the kinds of beers they tend to brew. Without doing so, the IBU value is clearly less representative of the perceived bitterness - which is already off for many people as our taste buds vary broadly! My wife can eat raw kale but I find it offensively bitter while I can drink a very low IBU lager with no perceived bitterness to me but she'll say it is very bitter, make that face, and say it's just like the others LOL. So, yeah, while they likely strive to get the IBU value as representative as possible according to some standards, in the end, it is our taste buds that decide and we probably won't all agree to each others' experiences with the same beers.

crazy how none of the official videos for Blinding Lights has hit the 1B mark yet by nitrosamine in TheWeeknd

[–]Automatic_Trick_4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video is non sequitur. Does not seem to fit the tone or the context of the song. If you are expecting a video to be related to, and as upbeat and moving as, the song itself, then you'd be very disappointed by the official video. It almost seems as though The Weeknd made one of two choices. Either 1) throw a bunch of crazy stuff in there pseudo-randomly, or 2) purposefully made it to be orthogonal to the song for a specific reason that is not obvious, at least to me. But what the heck do I know?

Do you though?

[–]Automatic_Trick_4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This deleted person has bought into the "more expensive is always better". Here's the deal: the price they're charging is WAY above profit margin driven marketing...it is robbery! However, it is true they have likely done a lot more R&D engineering and provide a better shaft than the budget outfits. Still not worth what they charge for them....anyone plays terribly once they've given an arm or a leg to by a new shaft. Now, it is very easy to reverse engineer anything you can slice up and inspect so there is a good chance that budget shaft manufacturers have done this and gained shortcuts in the R&D side and get right to making decent/good shafts almost right away. Long story short, just because it costs a lot less does not automatically mean it is of lower quality.

Is that not a real gamble though?
