  • Make Ranch Dressing

    Our new contributor Psychotogen, the angry Sous Chef, loves ranch dressing so much, I figured I would post a method. I do all our salad dressings and dips from scratch at work, and the real product is usually much better than store bought, except for Asian Sesame, just can’t figure that one out for some reason. I know I am in a kitchen full of talentless shmucks if they are buying things like cocktail sauce, and chipotle mayo, both of which can be made in under a minute, by a monkey, a handicapped monkey.

    Lets start with Ranch dressing.

    You will need;
    1 cup mayo, not Miracle Whip, it’s too sweet.
    1/2 cup sour cream.
    2/3 cup buttermilk.
    dash of salt, might not need this depending on how salty the mayo you use is.
    black pepper, fresh ground, to taste
    1 teaspoon minced parsley.
    1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
    optional; 1/8 tsp fine minced shallot, 1/8 tsp fine minced red pepper.

    Mix it, taste it, tweak it, serve it to inbreds, use as suntan lotion, or to soothe ass chafe, it is very multi purpose.

    Feel free to post salad dressing and dip recipe’s here, I will bump the thread with a new addition now and then. If anyone has a good Asian Sesame dressing recipe, I would really appreciate it.

  • Spiced Chocolate

    This is a slightly more traditional version of hot chocolate.

    Spiced Chocolate

    Basic Recipe:

    • 5 Squares 90+% Chocolate
    • 1.5 Cups Almond Milk (unsweetened)
    • 1Tbls Vanilla Powder
    • 1Tbls Sugar
    • 1/2t Cayenne
    • 1/4t Black Pepper
    • 1/4t Nutmeg
    • 1/4t Ginger
    • 1/4t Cloves
    • 1/4t Cinnamon
    • 1/8t Cumin

    This is not to be boiled, just get it hot and whisk it all together. All of the ingredients should be considered on a to taste basis, experiment for yourself and try new things, but this is a recipe I can get behind. It can be drank hot or room temp. This is powerful stuff and can get you wired so be forewarned.

  • How To Make a Gravity Bong

    Gravity Bongs

    Gravs are my favorite way to smoke because not only does it hit you fucking hard but it hits you fast too. From what i’ve read gravity bongs are the second best way to get as much THC from weed as possible right behind vaporizers. In this thread i will tell you how to make one of these epic bongs.

    What you need:
    A bottle (water, gatorade, 2-liter, etc.)
    a bowl with a stem or a socket
    a bucket that is about the same size as the bottle
    a lighter
    weed

    How to assemble:

    1. First you want to take the bottle and make a hole in it’s cap. This can be done with a screwdriver or drill or with a pen and some strength. The hole should be about the size of your stem or socket because this is what will hold it in place.

    2. Next you will want to take your lighter and burn 4 or 5 little holes at the bottom of the bottle (on the sides, not literally on the bottom). you want them to be about an inch apart and burned all the way around the bottle.

    3.Then you want to fill your bucket with water almost to the top of the bucket.

    4. To test out if you made your holes big enough, place the bottle into the water right side up and the water should go through the holes in the bottom into the water bottle.

    5. To test out if your bowl and cap are properly fitted, screw the cap onto the water bottle and put your thumb over the bowl. now lift the water bottle and the water should stay in the bottle until the bottle is completely out of the water in the bucket.

    How to use:

    • First put the water bottle into the bucket that is filled with water and make sure that your bottle is filling up with water.
    • Now load your bowl with as much weed as you want to pack it with and screw the cap onto the water bottle.
    • Keep one hand on your bottle and use the other hand to grab your lighter and start lighting the weed.
    • As you light the weed you want to pull the bottle up so that the water that is coming out of the bottom is being displaced with smoke from the weed.
    • Keep doing this slowly until your bottle is about to come out of the water and then, while still holding the bottle, put down the lighter and unscrew the cap.
    • Right after you do this you are going to want to lift the bottle out of the water and breathe in all of the smoke in the bottle
    • Now repeat these steps over and over until you’re ripped.

    Side Notes:

    1. Make sure that your weed isn’t packed too tight in the bowl because you want a little bit of air to be able to get into the water bottle when the water is being displaced or else you will be burning weed and no smoke will be in the bottle.
    2. If you’re using a socket you might want to get a screen or just use a small socket because the weed might just fall into the water if you’re not careful or if it’s not packed enough.
    3. If you don’t want your smoke to be harsh then before you suck the smoke in, push the bottle into the water and then suck some water into the bottle. Lift out the bottle and keeping sucking and you will have a bubbler effect going on at the bottom of the bottle.
    4. Some people like to just cut the bottom of the bottle off and instead of lifting the bottle out of the water they just put their mouth on it and push down as they breathe in. Even though it achieves the same effect you will find that, the higher you get, the harder it will be to keep the bottom of the bottle in the water.
    5. The good thing about using 5 holes is that when you lift the bottle out of the water, no smoke will escape from those holes but with the bottom cut off of the bottle, smoke will pour out and will be wasted on nothing.
    How it should look when you pull it up
    Gravity Bong
    What the bottle should look like
    (it’s basically a watefall bong but with more holes and unlimited water)

  • Is Procrastination Bad for Your Health?

    Infrequent procrastination won’t do too much harm, but it’s the chronic procrastination that will get to you. Obviously, procrastination causes stress, especially as you get closer to the deadline. Making a habit of procrastinating in your work also carries over to the rest of your life, so you’ll likely put off wellness behaviours such as going to the doctor or exercising. This combination of stress and neglect will sorely affect your health.

    Of interesting note is that the stress alone is enough to harm you. However, not engaging in health-promoting behaviours without stress does not show any procrastination-health relationship. When the neglected health behaviours are paired with stress, the situation is exacerbated. This ends up in a vicious cycle with poor health leading to more stress which leads to poorer health and so on.

    So in conclusion: DO YOUR WORK IF YOU DON’T WANNA DIE

  • How to Idle in Team Fortress 2 – The BEST Way!

    This guide will teach you how to idle in TF2 without affecting your stats at all! It allows you to join a match as a spectator (so your class stats aren’t touched) and you can sit there for as long as you want without being kicked, dropped from the server, or anything else. The best part is, it runs using launch commands which you can run using a batch file. As far as I can tell, this is the best way of idling in TF2.

    What is Idling?
    Idling simply refers to connecting to a game server and sitting there, waiting for weapon drops. You can idle for as long as you want, meaning you can leave your game idling all night and day if you need to. As of right now, the drop system ticks over every Thursday at 00:01am – That’s just after midnight on Wednesday! After this time, you can unlock items and weapons until you reach your limit, which is usually around 12 items. As drops are made randomly, the more you idle, the bigger chance you have of getting items!

    Is Idling Considered Cheating?
    This is a very gray area, as it’s neither a yes or no answer. In the past, there was a time where an executable file was brought out, allowing everyone to idle and unlock stuff. Due to the fact that this was an executable file and wasn’t part of the actual game, Valve clamped down on it and called it cheating. They also went and removed all the items earned by idling from everyone’s backpacks, and gave the innocent players special hats.

    The way of idling that I’m presenting to you doesn’t use ANY hacks, mods or executable files. It simply uses launch commands to run the game in a command shell, connect to a server and spectate. This means that IT ISN’T CHEATING! Yup, it’s a perfectly cheat-free way of idling on TF2.

    How Do I Idle in TF2?
    Open up Notepad, and type in the following;

    Code:
    cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam"
start steam.exe -applaunch 440 -console -textmode -novid -nosound -nopreload -nojoy -noshader +map_background ctf_2fort

    Replace that directory location with the directory of your Steam folder if you need to, as it might be different to mine. Once you’re done, name it and save it as a batch file! (That’s .bat to all you nubs, and don’t forget to select the “all file types” option in the drop down box.)

    Is that… really all I need to do?
    Yes, it really is. When you open up the batch file (note that you might need to run it as an administrator for it to work), a command shell should pop up on screen which should look like this…

    Team Fortress 2 TF2 Idling

    If it takes ages for you to get to that stage, don’t worry. It will get there in the end

    And that’s how to idle in TF2 using launch commands, without cheating. Please note that I do not accept any responsibility for how this information is used. In the unlikely event that you get VAC banned or something, it’s not my fault. That said, I really doubt you will, so happy idling!
