Probably the reverse becasue you want to accurately control the end temperature. And, atleast with a pressure cooker, comes out amazing.

From Meathead's posts, he talks about the smoke only being absorbed in the first part of the cooking. I had assumed that correlated to the temperature... I would be smoking first, then sous vide if I was going for smoke and internal texture. But if you're going for a bark/crust, I am not sure sous vide helps, as the moisture coming out of the meat is part of that process.

Yeah that's probably true about the bark

Big steak fan here. Many times I've ordered a large cut of meat, like a porter house or a tomahawk (usually intended to be shared with the table), they have came pre sliced. I'm pretty sure even Peter Luger's will pre slice it for you even for an individual.

Which is why I said individual portions. I didn't say for sharing. And I didn't say if you specifically request otherwise.

FWIW I agree with you, I don't like pre-sliced steak served to me. I can slice it myself.

I'll be that other person. Have you looked at how sentient plants can be?

Yes, they are not sentient as far as I can tell. You are bullshitting if you say otherwise.

They communicate. They nurture their young. Some rely heavily on social networks.

But you go on believing. Frankly, your intransigence tells me that they're more sentient than you.

Probably should be more worried about the environmental impact

Why is that a concern exactly? Why does every decision need an environmental impact? How do you know he doesn't plant a tree for every steak he eats?

peer pressure used to be a pretty important (and efficient) tool for society to control itself.

not every decision needs a cost-benefit analysis. though chomping down that many pounds of nice ribeye steaks has a not insignificant cost. to me it seems normal to ask about it.
