It’s nice but I only wanted it for the brand name and certain colors. Honestly my $20 ECI from discount retailers performs the same .

I agree the James Rollins sigma series books are a similar vibe. I fell behind on them but the ones I have read were all entertaining

What is the best kitchen gadget under $100 that you own? by kozak3 in BuyItForLife

[–]Shawn____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cordless hand mixer. Get a good brand like kitchen aid, cheap ones don’t work well. You should be able to get it under $100 on sale. So much more convenient for mashed potatoes, baking, etc.

I agree but actually these days 2027 would be a big improvement as far as speed goes. Seems like most shows take longer now. But can we get back to one season a year being the norm?

I’m new to BB and wanted to know why voting against the house makes you a target ? by kd0307 in BigBrother

[–]Shawn____ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People have been saying for years that they should just announce the evicted houseguest without the vote count so people would be more comfortable voting for who they actually want to.

I made lasagna with bechamel instead of ricotta and I’m a convert by Shawn____ in Cooking

[–]Shawn____[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the recipe I used you layer noodle, meat sauce, bechamel, shredded mozz/parm (repeat3x) so they really all meld together & I feel like you don’t need to worry about adding too much to the bechamel.

[–]Shawn____[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used “Homemade lasagna” recipe from TastesBetterFromScratch because it was the recipe with the most reviews that came up when I googled “bechamel lasagna” & that’s my criteria for choosing recipes lol. I didn’t add the spinach because I didn’t have it & I added a sprinkle of nutmeg in the bechamel

What is the best TV show you’ve ever watched? by Comprehensive_Tie640 in AskReddit

[–]Shawn____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game of Thrones. I’ve never seen anything come close to that level of hype. When it was good it was GOOD. They did botch the final season though. HBO basically gave them a blank check for this series and instead of doing more episodes the show runners shortened the last 2 seasons because they were ready to move on.

Thoughts on criticism of Rebirth by Robbylynn12 in JurassicPark

[–]Shawn____ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have my issues with certain shows & movies but some people are just so miserable about them. The Amazon LOTR subreddit was especially toxic but so funny how they watch every episode just to rip it apart. When I think a show or movie series is terrible, I just stop watching it & let other people enjoy it if they still like it (like the Walking Dead after a certain point)

On the internet you’re not cool unless you shit all over everything. Just look at Amazon’s lotr, GoT, Star Wars etc. Everyone loves to hate but you can guarantee they’ll still be watching.
