I should be working on the presentation I have to give tomorrow, but nah.

Ha, I am in the Dulles Hyatt so the W ain't here. Of course if your phone is on my response came at a bad time as well...

TJ has one in black. That is acceptable. I'd prefer red though.

Only clearing out their 2nd's which are mostly fine, but I don't want the fucking green

An accident I'll never find. Their yearly sale is on right now so I stopped in. GOD I FUCKING HATE THAT MALL.

Will a single Liter of liquid look so lonely I can't swish meat in it? I suppose I could buy it and if it doesn't work return it.

Yes. Lol We have the large oval the small circle and the medium circle and now the bonkers goose pot. I got that bitch for cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep in Albertville. Coupons 30% off, floor model "miss matched" red roaster with red lid.... how it was miss matched.... Anyway, it was on the dirt. I can look up the quart size for you. I just dont remember. They make a 1.5 qt too. Uber teeny

For sukiyaki 2.25 will probably do it..... but I like having extra room. We progressively moved up and up untill the goose pot. When I make red pasta sauce I can just do one batch now. And all in one pot. Brown, then pull the brown into the sauce with vegis and simmer. No fuss. 2 butts and a shit load of maters. Also... thanks to your other suggestion on the vitamix I will tripple my processing speed. Maybe faster. :-) Moral of the story, if you know the general size, the larger one is usually a better bet. If the broth depth has to be too high then it's watered down. If the burner center hot spot doesn't warm the whole pan mostly evenly then it fails. Otherwise I'd already have the bigger one. TJ Maxx has the 30cm lid braiser for $120 right now and even on clearance at the outlet it is more. Curious on the coupon you referred to though...

He's on my bench Mine too, has been since last year. Dynasty keeper. I'd like to see him play!

It actually might be a significant power savings VS spinning a platter and it won't add heat to the mess. Aside from those theoretical bonuses, it might be less likely to loose data in a fall. But as you just mentioned, laptops should be backed up. Even my new gaming rig won't hold media. Basically nothing I cannot re download. I am building this thing to be blazing fast and replaceable. The server with a couple mirrored drives will hold alllll the things I care about. I am mostly referring to the MK lappie discussion. Not so sure on the power savings being that big of a deal these days for most tasks and while the non-spinning is a bonus I actually don't know of anyone whose had a fatal crash upon a fall. May definitely add up, but just saying.

I'm afraid the 3.5 will require too much liquid so it'll be diluted and might have hot spots on a cheap countertop induction burner. The 2.25 I am afraid might be too small.

I am going back and forth between the 3.5 and 2.25 although I am going to use it for Sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu, not so much for braising. At least not regularly.

speaking of, which size braiser do you have in your Le Creuset set?

how does it relate to your workout?

Goose pot?

Many times I've thought about switching mine the other way. Lack of storage sucks.

Exactly why I don't get why the goal to replace the HDD in a lappy and asked.

Yep, home machine with HDD was faster than laptop with SSD.

I wanted to see Spiller go buck

and wtf?? New halftime show sucks ass too And to think I stayed up for it. Where the fuck are the highlights? Haven't they realized that people watch football mostly because they play fantasy and highlights are the whole fucking interest?

It is small, but no lame controller. Either way it boots in the time it takes me to walk up the stairs. When it was an HDD I could walk up the stairs and sit down. Go from up the stairs to the up the stairs sitting down. Obviously not an issue either way, in particular when I leave it on all the time.

This dualing Monday night game shit sucks balls

And it was less than 500

Cheeper, run better, more options, reliable, servicable..... desktop > all other options. You could have a dual moniter rig that could handle media and even any game out there on not max settings for under 500 bucks. And that is including case. Not including monitor.... you already are on the hans G tip though. :#) And it's bigger. Of course I have a desktop that can handle the task, but it's for other uses.

I know this cool guy named Matt2 who is doing it.... One of those things I've always wanted and I assume it will make the laptop faster and more fun to use. Windows will be much much faster on boot up and some apps will really love it. I was more asking if you had some 2tb platter or something already lol. I figured it was for SSD but I didn't want to assume. The one thing I know is that the room mates machine was definately bound by HDD for games and it is now quick on his machine since he moved to SSD. I cannot wait to see how fast it will be striped I also know when I sleep he will be molestering my system. He may be more excited to build this rig than I am to have it be mine. I didn't go balls to the walls on processor or mobo but I think it will still be nice. I also hope the 660s in SLI will out perform a single similar priced 680. Having 3GB of memory/card will probably be the winner for 3 screens over 4GB on one card. And I dont think the 4gb 680 is as cheep as 2 660's. If the i5 is the limiting factor I will just OC the fuck out of it. I could go through 4-5 sets of MOBO and i5s for the cost of an i7..... especially if I would have gone with the 2011 socket. Hyperthreaded 6 core so 12 logic cores would be cool..... but it would not have real PCI express 3 and almost no real games or apps care about that many logic cores..... Aaron would like it on the boinc team but dats about it. And the next gen processors and MoBO will probably catch up with PCI express3. Even with ivy bridge it is a questionable work in process. My laptop boot speed changes by about 1-2 seconds switching to an SSD. If I could have I would have bought it with a normal HDD, but that one came with a shittier screen. My home pc difference was somewhat similar. Faster yes, but not really noticeable.
