Now if it was Synja and Sady, then Synja would be tied in second with Sady and Alfania at the top

Alfania
Sady
Synja

What would be a perfect acronym

You are closer to Argentina than the USA. Their beef is better. I have no idea about Brazilian beef.

You need a cast iron frying pan, pepper, butter and/or olive oil or avocado oil if available.

Heat pan over stove. Coarse grind pepper heavily all over the steak. Whap the pepper into the steak with the flat side of a meat tenderizer or the bottom of a bottle. Add oil to the pan, when it gets shimmery add the butter, then the steak. When you have a good sear pull the steak out, add more butter, sear the other side, then finish cooking the steak to your preference. If your preference is anything beyond medium may the gods have mercy on your soul. On your steak too.

I even looked at gastronomy courses.

Most of them are too long for my casual needs.

Maybe an online one for the theory, the practicing during lunches

Steak is easiest to prepare. My method is fast.

Like Chanti said, best get a cast iron pan. Get it pre seasoned.

Get a nice thick Brazilian meat (miaow).

Take it out the fridge, wash and paper towel dry. Leave on counter.

Turn hob on high to very high heat, put pan on for 10-15min. Cast iron is a bit slow to heat up. Need to be hot hot hot before putting steak on.

Rub salt and pepper on both sides of steak. Rub with your hands. Be liberal with salt, more so if you get a nice thick steak. I like garlic salt for steak, or sea salt.

After 15min, put steak on pan, press it down with your hand. Cover pan with a lid so your house doesn't turn into a Benihana. Turn on extractor fan too.

Turn every 2-3min, press down with a utensil.

Should have a nice crust on both sides. If you run a knife over the side it should make a sound going over the crust. Thinner steaks will naturally tend to go well done, thicker steaks less well done.

For a thick steak, once you have a crust and press down in the middle, it should leave a slight indentation. That's a medium. More soft, more rare. Less soft, more well done.

Put on plate and let it rest for as long as you cooked it. If you cooked for 10min, rest for 10min. Put room temp butter on steak while it is resting.

Grind fresh pepper on steak before eating.

There you go, nice and easy, no preparation.

If you don't want to use cast iron because of the cleaning and oiling, get stainless steel. Steel will need the soft metal scouring pads to clean though.

Do not use non stick or tefal pans for steak. Too thin, they do not hold heat.

I like to cook broccoli in the beef fat, same pan, after the steak is done while it is resting as a side.

It completely wrecked the books and season 1/2 were weak. But, I thought the actors(+actresses) really hit their stride in season 3. Would've happily watched a few more seasons just to see the changes in the wheel and enjoy the acting, even if it didn't do the books justice.

Writing team was a trainwreck though, for sure.

As I said I have no idea about Brazilian beef. I do know that there are Argentinian steak houses throughout Europe. Complete with phony gauchos as waiters. And with what we do to beef cattle here in the USA I cannot blame Europe for ignoring our beef.

Brazilian beef is pretty popular in Europe. As is Argentinian.

I make no comment on which is better.

I wouldn't eat USA beef if you paid me though.

This phone situation is so much more annoying than I even anticipated.

The prices literally go up and down daily with this *** economic chaos.

If they even have anything in stock. If everyone isn't scrambling to get their newest phone before everything costs $1000. If we ever get another shipment in.

What a time to be alive.

I'm finding it hard to get into Andor season 2. Just really boring.. and why does everyone suddenly have British accents? In the real movies they were all American accents for the most part.

The first few episodes are pretty slow, it speeds up about halfway through and escalates from there. The whole wedding thing combined with the politics was a bit weird pacing

I just keep looking at my phone, just feels weird. Like each episode theres 3 separate things going on at once, and it feels a little forced almost like they are overacting in a lot of scenes. The wedding song was a banger, but is that really star wars? I think they were a little too much with that lol

Oh and I had to google, how can they do a phone call in hyperspace? Disney really stretching those limits

I think in the US there is far too much unionization, and so companies are trying to instead use british voice actors to get away from them. The unions are utter rot, because they powercreep too much to make as much money and be as draconian as possible for their own corporate interest (the unions are businesses now, with highly paid executives and with the goal of forcing everyone to join their union to pay fees)

The issue is that many voice actors in the UK are mostly garbage (the best ones move to the US), the US voice acting scene is very good and if not for unions they would be universally used by near everyone.

Square enix money saving mode (Yoshi P specialty) voice acting is often terrible (ff16 va = mostly all leltrash), the only reason many in the US think they are good is the middle class coastal population in the US (kind of people who tend to play 14 and 16) massively fetishize english posh accents and can't tell if they are good or not. Elden Ring has very high quality british VA, ff16 (and much on 14 for that matter) sounds like turbo trash they paid some people on wish to fart out of their pieholes.

With AI, the entire problem won't be one much longer though.

Seeing as how hyperspace is a fictional concept you can do what you want with or within it.

In a lot of SF a space ship in hyperspace is in its own bubble outside of normal space so no external communication including visual. In some stories hyperspace is a different spacial dimension so you can see normal space and communicate faster than light.

Pay your money for the fantasy you can suspend disbelief in.

Full disclosure: I have no idea how star ward cannon handles hyperspace except for the Fx entering it.
