Shacknews LoL

I've been going through them ALL, but in chronological order instead of release order. We just finished Winter Soldier and next is Guardians 1 and 2. It's been a lot of fun, even if every film isn't great.

If you're interested in the order, below is the order we're doing. Also, if you only want to watch stuff that makes up the central trunk of the story, I've highlighted those--the others can, as far as is known, be skipped (though there are several great films among the skippable, including the outstanding Black Panther).

PHASE 1
1 Captain America: The First Avenger
2 Agent Carter (one-shot on Iron Man 3 DVD)
3 Iron Man
4 Iron Man 2
5 The Incredible Hulk
6 The Consultant (one-shot on the Thor DVD)
7 A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer (one-shot on the Captain America: The First Avenger DVD)
8 Thor
9 Avengers Assemble
10 Item 47 (one-shot on the Avengers Assemble DVD)

PHASE 2
11 Iron Man 3
12 All Hail the King (one-shot on the Thor: The Dark World DVD)
13 Thor: The Dark World
14 Captain America: The Winter Soldier
15 Guardians of the Galaxy
16 Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2
17 Avengers: Age of Ultron
18 Ant-Man

PHASE 3
19 Captain America: Civil War
20 Doctor Strange
21 Spider-Man: Homecoming
22 Thor: Ragnarok (concurrent with Spider-Man: Homecoming)
23 Black Panther
24 Avengers: Infinity War - Apr 27, 2018

Cities: Skylines

https://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/6u5up7/just_created_a_massive_fully_comprehensive_city/

Briefly looked over this guide.. holy shit this guy put together the mother of all city building guides!

Please recommend obscure science fiction movies from the 1970s and 1980s

Ones that you are pretty sure even a huge fan of sci-fi from that era may have even missed for some reason!

It's that time of year again:

This is crazy informative. A fire hose of civic education to the face. Worth every one of its ~18 minutes.

Because you are doing it wrong. Here is a quick writeup of the problems, and then a guide for getting it all unfucked. First, the problems:

Turkey breast (which I assume is the focus of your complaint) is one of the hardest pieces of meat to cook correctly, because everything about it is actively working against you. It is fully cooked at 160F, but is effectively overcooked at 161F. It has little to no fat, so the internal juices are the only thing giving it any moisture and flavor. Turkey breast also expands heavily when cooking, so it is actively trying to push out what little moisture it does contain.

Here is what you are likely doing wrong:

- Not brining the turkey to add extra moisture
- Allowing it to overcook either by using the built-in thermometer (pops at 190 omg) or using a meat thermometer and pulling at 160
- Not resting the turkey before serving

So, some general rules to follow:

- Brine the turkey overnight on the day before cooking. Alton Brown has a good brine recipe, but in general you just mix brown sugar and salt into heated water, let the water cool, and then pour that over the turkey sitting in a (sanitary) bucket and cover in ice or leave in a fridge.

- Cook it at 500F for 30 minutes to brown the skin, then put foil over the breast, lower the temp to 350 and cook until it's done. Get a meat thermometer with an alarm on it so the steps after this become idiot proof.

- Use a meat thermometer during the cooking process. Here is the key to know: Because you are going to rest the turkey for at least 30 minutes before serving, you only need to cook the turkey breast to 155. It will cook itself the remaining 5 degrees during the resting process as it pushes out the internal heat it has stored up.

- Rest the turkey, covered in foil, for 30 minutes after you pull it from the oven. In addition to the aforementioned final cooking that takes place, this allows the turkey meat to re-absorb the internal juices it was trying to push out as it expanded while cooking. DO NOT PIERCE THE TURKEY MEAT IN ANY FASHION DURING THIS PROCESS. DONT CUT IT, DONT POKE IT WITH ANYTHING, AND DON'T EVEN REMOVE THE MEAT THERMOMETER.

Do those above things, and you will serve up the juiciest damn turkey you have ever tasted.

What are some good UI/UX design books for people new to the subject? Haiku recommended to me the non-designers design book and it was really informative but more about design in general, so I already have that one. I also picked up "UI Is Communication" based off of amazon reviews and me not knowing wtf. What else is good?

Preferably something that focuses on UI/UX for mobile

I'm a sucker for anything I hear about where science backs it up. It's what got me in to keto. Well I'll be damned if Dan and Drew talking about meditation on this weeks Giant Bombcast didn't grab me and now that's the new thing I'm obsessed with.

I've gone down the rabbit hole with Dan Harris.

And I tried the app he mentions, Head Space, for my first time trying to meditate. It was actually kind of amazing. I felt refreshed after my first 10 minute session. I think the same way my body really responds amazingly well to a keto diet my mind seems to respond incredibly well to meditation.

What other Shackers do this? Virus I think?

Pretty cool if you're into that hippy hoppy stuff.
