If you guys have never had a sous vide steak, you are missing out on an extremely good steak. I personally will never, ever cook a steak any other way from now on. You can control the exact temperature you want your steak at, so it will NEVER be overcooked. There is no other form of cooking that exists that allows you to have pin-point accuracy on temperature the way sous vide does. Even in an oven, heat does not evenly disperse as most people tend to think. You can drop a steak in there for however the fuck long you want, and it's not going to overcook. Obviously you will lose moisture if it sits there for hours and hours and hours, and below 140 degrees is the danger zone if left too long. But I will throw a filet into a bag with the marinade I make, vacuum the bag (air makes the bag float to the surface), and just walk away from it for 45 minutes. If I have an errand to run I can just leave it in there for a few hours and it's just fine. If I want to have it ready for me when I get off work, I put the steak in an ice bath, and a few hours before I am off work I connect to my precision cooker through an app and turn it on. Once I pull it out, I blowtorch the outside of it to form a light crust. The best analogy I got when I was going through culinary training was to make steak just like pussy - completely pink but completely hot. It's not even just steak - meats, drinks, desserts, vegetables, etc. can all be done it it. It is, by far, worth the money & is possibly the greatest culinary invention geared towards average households...next to the crock pot. A big thing to bear in mind as well is that everything you know about food temperatures is probably wrong if you use sous vide. Because the entire part of your food is being cooked CONSISTENTLY at one exact temperature, it is vastly different than putting it in an oven, on a grill, on a stove, etc. 129.5 degrees on a steak sounds disgustingly rare, but it isn't. 'Rare' is typically defined as "...a cool, pink center...". Stick your hand into 129.5 degree water and tell me if you think that is cool. The water is entirely around the bag, so the entire steak is cooking at the same exact time, versus putting it onto a grill where one side is cooked, then the other, etc. The penetration of the heat can be vastly different depending on how you cook it. A big thing people usually hear is to always cook chicken to 165 degrees. I cook chicken at about 150 degrees sous vide and it is completely, completely fine. I could even go down to about 145 and still be 'safe', I'm just not really a fan of the texture at 145. https://www.amazon.com/Anova-Culinary-PCB-120US-K1-Bluetooth-Precision/dp/B00UKPBXM4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482573560&sr=8-1&keywords=anova+cooker

Forced death games will never, ever work based upon the existing rules in PB. I strongly believe PB has always had a strong following based upon us not having forced death games and no wardens (among other things, but most notably those). You can add a million stipulations, but at the end of the day, whatever limit of T's it is set to, be it 6, 10, 15, etc., there are always going to be a way around it. The reason why is because all you would need to do is wait until that limit is reached, then force 'Simon Says' enough until everyone is dead - which is completely possible considering it seems every CT has different stipulations as to what is considered 'losing' on Simon Says. That's why it surprises me that 'Fish in a Barrel' isn't allowed, when that would be probably the last death game I would worry about - just say one CT can perform the death game, and they are only allowed one magazine to empty. Simon Says is so subjective that I see a new twist on it every time I play. But I digress. Even if all deathgames that were not map-made are banned, it would be extremely easy to just wait for the timer, wait for the amount of T's to be reached, then stick them in the roulette pit and spin the ball until eventually they are all dead. The amount of restrictions and stipulations required to allow death games and still maintain a relatively happy player-base is beyond it even being worth the effort. On top of all of this, I feel like a '6 T's or less' stipulation would only cause CT's to become even more trigger-happy and thus promote more free killing / lack of warning shots. I don't claim to have the most time or activity on PB nowadays, but I have managed it (or was helping manage it) since I was an SA in 2008 to 2014 when we converted to CSGO. I understand the player-base changes and the wants / needs of the server changes as T's, CT's, and map makers become more innovative (be it good or bad). Forced death games is fun to experiment with as a CT, especially for a lot of players that have never played on a different PB server - but that hype for CT's will quickly be drowned out by the massive amount of people who will refuse to play T and either stack the CT team or just go to another server. With that being said, I remain as adamant today as I was 8 years ago as far as forced death games go: it is single-handedly the worst possible rule change that could be put on SG's PB server. It was cool giving it a shot, but it is not working out in anyone's favor and is ultimately doing more harm than good, in my opinion.

You used the word 'literally' wrong.

Or you could have created an event for prison break for a few hours that you would be able to play, go on, test it out, observe what stipulations need to be obviously in place, make the rule live, then make small counter-corrections from there. You put up an entire rule change in a public forum that is obviously going to have possible ways to abuse it. I saw you make one or two edits throughout the day, but your 'Death Game' rule change was extremely unprepared and it showed. Keeping us in the loop as to what you know, what you're working on, and what needs to be tested would have been great, instead of choosing to go on the forums and refer to people utilizing your fuck up as "cunts".

You probably should have ran a better beta test on it then before pushing the live rule change. I gave you one possible devil's advocacy, and was seeing all the potential ways it can be abused as it is a major rule change that was provided little to no clarification.

After running a beta test on this new rule, it's pretty easy to manipulate. I'd recommend removing it altogether, but if not, restricting by either timer (2:00 and below) or by players. Players would be harder to accurately implement because if you said '5 players or less for a forced deathgame', the same issues that arose from this rule would still happen during the timeframe the server is less populated.

G3 & Note 5. G3 had a removable battery and external memory. External memory is great - but the iPhone I have already has 256gb...so don't really need external memory anymore, so I don't consider that a 'plus' anymore that Android did hold over iPhone years ago. The removable battery on the G3 was great...up until a few months later when they stopped producing them and stores stopped selling them. My battery randomly shit itself and my phone wouldn't turn back on. I checked every possible store in the region, including stores that are dedicated battery stores - no one sold the battery. I would have had to wait several days for a battery to get sent and would have been without a phone that time...which isn't possible while being in the military. I needed my phone on 24/7 in case one of my Marines needed me. The G3 did have an incredibly slick look though when the special case from LG was on it. It had a circle cutout on the top that would display a super cool looking analog clock.

I can use my phone for well over a day without charging it, whereas I could not do that with either of my androids. Both dead within 6 hours of doing nothing. While I do greatly enjoy the ability to access files on an Android, (easily) replaceable batteries & extra storage aren't on every android phone - I couldn't do either on my Note.

Really? Jesus being black is harder to believe than the motherfucker becoming a zombie?

I lied. My first android was an LG G3. Great phone with awesome (the best at the time) picture and video capabilities. It was actually incredibly cool because the front case was like a horizontal flap that, when closed, had a circle in the middle that made the phone display a really neat, old fashioned clock. It was very clean looking. The phone started to shit the bed after about a year or so, and the battery actually had been fucked up somehow, but not from physical damage. Because the G4 had already came out by this time, nobody carried G3 batteries. I checked everywhere, even local battery stores. I needed a phone immediately, because I needed my phone always on in case my junior Marines needed to reach me for some reason. I got a Note 5 after. Great phone, once again, for the first 9-12 months. Started running super slow and flat out ridiculous. I did everything, including a restore. I love, love, love android the first 9 months. The capabilities of what you are allowed to do are vastly superior to the iphone...but the iPhone is much more stable. Hell, I still have my old 3GS, and it still boots, runs, etc, no problem. I wanted Android to take this second chance and redeem itself - I really, really did. I don't even do dumb shit on my phone, so I have no idea why they all shit the bed with Android. So now I have a 7+. Also got an iPad to take with me when I fly planes - there is a pretty nifty app only on the apple store that allows you to plan flights, get airport info, etc.

Hello everyone, Just wanted to give you all a quick, official update that we have increased our goal to $300 monthly. We have switched over to a physical dedi, and while this will give us a performance boost, it is costlier to run. $300 a month will keep us afloat and allow us to provide raffles to the community on a regular basis. If we keep falling short of the goal, we will probably have to do away with the nicer-item raffles. Thank you all for your patience with us during the switch and for your continued support in moving the community forward.

I have sausage party, conjuring 2, and lights out if anyone wants them.

On a side note, you guys have probably noticed a few server issues the past few weeks. This has been because of our switch to a new dedicated server. Everything should be up and running smoothly, please let us know if any issues arise. A big thanks to all of my higher up staff for making sure this move was possible - especially to SpikedRocker, Xeno, and Liam.

your name is fucking fraud, baldrocker

It is very broken if they aren't teaching people about paragraphs anymore.

Thanks for all your hard work. Before real life got in the way, you were a perfect representation of how not only an AO, but a higher up should act. If you find time in the future, there will always be a spot open to you among our ranks again.

As I said in my previous post, I was outvoted. I'll bring it up again, but no promises.

I disagree with you as far as making posts private I agree with Roux as far as not allowing people to just type "this ^"
