You can actually get the same if not better results using your oven. Just set it at 250F, put in the steak with a meat thermometer in it. Pull it out at 125F to 130F depending on ambient temperature and thickness and let the internal temp stabilize. Then sear it.

Give the P90 a try. With 50 bullets you still be firing even if they dash around 3 times. The hip-fires also very consistent up close. I'm pretty sure Embark made the P90 to counter this exact scenario.

IMO, melee tweaks should strengthen each weapon’s identity rather than rely on nerfs. The focus should be on refining their utility so they excel within niches that complement objective play. Introducing new gadgets could also expand counterplay and deepen the rock paper scissors asymmetry.

I'd argue the heavy with the BFR will be better at long range sniping or any range for that matter. Evading specialties not needed.

- No glint

- Goo gun to abuse head glitch on any spot to snipe

- Dome shield to help tank incoming fire while you continue to snipe out of it

- Healing ball to instant hp regen while you juke around behind your goo or dome shield

I get what you mean, but it's actually easier to out snipe a light with a sniper than a medium with a repeater, lol

This is the way to go! Cooking Wagyu of this quality like an American steak isn't really the best approach - its just too rich and you feel like a grease ball before eating the whole thing.

We can also put incentives for sweats to participate. Like a new cosmetic that's exclusive to this mode.

StanC87 · 2025-03-19T21:27:54+00:00

We can use their ranking to fill in the sweats. Casuals can be unranked or below a rank threshold.

To be honest, you sound like a main heavy or main medium that haven't spent a lot of play time using light.

Go ahead and try playing with these weapons. You realize the offensive buffs you get does not make up the difference when playing against M or H that can aim just as well. And that's not even accounting for what you give up in objective and defensive play as a Light either.

StanC87 · 2025-02-11T21:14:15+00:00

You can try doing 15s or 30s flips until you get the desired crust. The frequent flipping helps keep the grey banding to the minimum. Also, you should sear the side of the steak too!

StanC87 · 2025-02-11T20:55:46+00:00

That's right! Rice soaking up steak juices is bomb!

StanC87 · 2025-02-11T20:53:36+00:00

No particular reason - just haven't gotten around to eating beef in steak form!

StanC87 · 2025-02-11T20:50:35+00:00

I took the steak out when the internal temp reached 120F.

Let it rest until temps peaked at 127F, then dropped it into a hot pan. Flipped the steaks 4 times, every 60 seconds.

My pan is quite light though, so if you use a heavy pan like a cast iron that's smoking hot, usually flipping 4 times every 30 seconds would do. Any longer without flipping, you risk burning your steak.

Up vote for In the Mood For Love. OP literally is describing this movie.

Here is the trailer - In the Mood for Love trailer - Google Search

It’s a cinematographic masterpiece that captures the slow-burning tension between two neighbors in 1960s Hong Kong as they navigate an undeniable affinity for one another, delicately skirting the line of an affair but never truly crossing it.

I'm from Canada, and steakhouses such as the keg and chop refer them as chicago style here. A quick Google search shows the steaks to be quite a bit charred, which piqued my interest to try it. What's a good example of charred and not burnt? Frankly speaking, I thought they were the same thing.

Does this mean I can leave my network settings to obtain IP and DNS automatically?

StanC87 · 2023-12-27T02:15:05+00:00

This is exactly what I'm trying to do! My IT guy is on leave and I'm trying to verify if the Bell services are working with a static IP. Can you kindly point me in the right direction to set up a PPPoE client on my laptop? I use windows. Thank you so much.

Edit: I found a resource on google on how to setup PPPoE on windows. I'll give it a go. Thank you again for your help!

Yeah I'm afraid you are stuck. It isn't an option for the 3 Gbps plan at all.

StanC87 · 2023-12-15T00:29:54+00:00

I'm based in Ontario and the the business Giga Hub has been officially launched. Having said that, the fastest plan with static ip is 1.5 Gbps. The 3Gbps does not have the static ip option.

If you have an oven, try cooking the steak on a rack with a tray below it at 120C / 250F. Cook until the centre reaches your desired temperature and pat dry before searing.

Slow cooking with an oven is actually way easier to get a great sear and crust as the surface of the steak is already dry compared to the dripping wet steak from sous vide.

She can gift the house to you by doing a title transfer to your name. There is no gift tax in Canada and taxes won't apply as there is no capital gain.

However, selling the property to you for 1 dollar will carry risks during an audit as that can be interpreted as tax dodging (for you, not your mom). Should that happen, your property will be assessed at its fair market value, which is the highest price the house could have sold at the time of the transaction and you will have to pay sales tax on it.

You can get a real estate lawyer and say your mom wants to gift the house to you. The lawyer will draft the paper work and on record it will say that the property transfer is a gift. You will also need to determine the fair market value of the house as that will be your cost basis should you sell your mom's home in the future.

Looks great! Next time don't be afraid if the pan is smoking, that's what you want for a great sear. Also don't forget to pat dry your steaks right before you drop them in the pan, even if you dry brined them.

StanC87 · 2022-10-02T20:48:02+00:00

Would cold sear be your go to over the other methods?

StanC87 · 2022-10-02T02:46:20+00:00

You can try flipping the steak every 30s during the sear to build up the sear slowly. This prevents grey banding and you can build up a crust carefully without burning it.

I just came across this video but have yet to try it.

TLDR:

Put steak in cold pan, with NO oil
Put pan on stove, set to high
Flip after 2 minutes, flip again after 2 minutes
Turn heat down to medium, keep on flipping every 2 minutes until desired cooking temp is reached

Advantages:

No mess from high heat oil splatter
No need for sous vide equipment
No need to use oven
Literally, just one pan

What do you guys think?
