US state engineering schools pretty much drive global technological development. The rest of the world can't even compete, and it's really just about dollars spent by the military and defense industry. Schools like V Tech, OSU, the cal schools, etc have budgets that rival major corporations and small countries.

kek. just cooked this tonight and was gonna make a thread, but searched the catalog.

I went the safe route and did a fancy mac & cheese plus lobster tail under my oven broiler's flame on high for 5-7 minutes, basting with butter twice. ie: lobster mac and cheese.

I have to say, what a spiny mother fucker. seafood shears made opening it up pretty easy, but getting the poop vein out was no fun. plus the fucker overcooks in like 12 seconds so I had half tough meat, half translucent gray meat. I'm definitely doing tails for ~135 in the sous vide next round.

not the worst thing I've ever done though.
