Looks like the Fireworks are on, so we don't have to blame it on the rain... 6:30 p.m. Update: Although a few passing showers are still possible, heavy rain is moving south of Austin and the city “looks in decent shape for the evening,” the National Weather Service reported. As of 6:15 p.m., the H-E-B Austin Symphony July 4th Concert & Fireworks is still on for an 8:30 p.m. concert and fireworks at 9:30 p.m.

I agree. It was a good Mini-Series. It seemed like when I was growing up there were mini-series events, then Studios or whomever said we need to milk the ratings... The Brits do it well. There are a lot of series they have done in the recent years that are Mini-Series, or if they come back they are a new story. I suppose the US has gotten back to this with series like Fargo, AHS, True Detective....

I am watching "John Adams" today. I haven't seen it in awhile. Great miniseries from HBO starring Paul Giamatti. I was debating between this and Lonesome Dove today. But John Adams won out for the Holiday. I have been watching "The Patriot" Amazon series. I am about 5 episodes in. It is pretty good and has me laughing at absurdities. I saw it was renewed for a second season to come out this year sometime, so that is usually a good sign (except for Goliath season 2 which I thought sucked compared to season 1, but hopefully it gets renewed and gets back to what made season 1 great, which has already been mentioned in this thread and the other one.)

Memories of a Murder was great. I think Old Boy got me in that genre. I few years back I ended up watching...

I was just looking on http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2014/15-best-south-korean-crime-films/ There are quite a few on there I have not seen. I really like the revenge genre. I need to watch those. You have to be in a certain mood to "read a movie."

This pulled up by me. I love these.

Pics of what was in the fridge.

I just got one. It was a slick deal. I am currently dehydrating what I had in my fridge, as I just got it today. Broccoli, Cauliflower , and left over smoked brisket. 130 degrees. I guess I will see what happens when I wake up tomorrow. Anyone have one and have things they like? I've been given or bought in the past green beans, and okra. They were great. Bananas are good, but usually they cover them in sugar. Anyone have a good beef jerky recipe? Googling there is one standard recipe. pounds flank steak (or eye or round or top round steak) 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons coarsely-ground black pepper 1 teaspoon liquid smoke 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon seasoned salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

So I made a rump roast last week. It turned out great. We ate it for a couple of days. I made sandwiches and tacos. I cooked it for about 3 hours at 135. I then Fried it in the pan on all sides.

I read he already has one. it is from a few years ago. he has $370, 000 in it that was untouched.

Gracias. It's a nice little grill. I've gotten it pretty hot in the past.

Does anyone know what the model of this grill is? My mother's that her contractor bought her. I need to replace the starter. Thanks

My Cousin is in town, so I was looking for this thread. Thanks OP for the Google DOC.

Cross post from VR Thread. VR Gear $30. https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/samsung-gear-vr-controller/

I am cheap and not into gaming, but I came across this on slickdeals. I was thinking of buying one. This is one unit old, but $70 on ebay, newest is $100 $30 https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/samsung-gear-vr-controller/ It should arrive tomorrow. I was reading an article, and I am mainly looking into checking out sports, Movies, and some cheesy games.

I thought this was a funny article. https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/05/ariane-chief-seems-frustrated-with-spacex-for-driving-down-launch-costs/ The France-based Ariane Group is the primary contractor for the Ariane 5 launch vehicle, and it has also begun developing the Ariane 6 rocket. The firm has a reliable record—indeed, NASA chose the Ariane 5 booster to fly its multi-billion dollar James Webb Space Telescope—but it also faces an uncertain future in an increasingly competitive launch market. Like Russia and the US-based United Launch Alliance, the Ariane Group faces pricing pressure from SpaceX, which offers launch prices as low as $62 million for its Falcon 9 rocket. It has specifically developed the Ariane 6 rocket to compete with the Falcon 9 booster. But there are a couple of problems with this. Despite efforts to cut costs, the two variants of the Ariane 6 will still cost at least 25 percent more than SpaceX's present-day prices. Moreover, the Ariane 6 will not fly until 2020 at the earliest, by which time Falcon 9 could offer significantly cheaper prices on used Falcon 9 boosters if it needed to. (The Ariane 6 rocket is entirely expendable). ARS TRENDING VIDEO SITREP: The German Military Has a Typhoon Fighter Shortage With this background in mind, the chief executive of Ariane Group, Alain Charmeau, gave an interview to the German publication Der Spiegel. The interview was published in German, but a credible translation can be found here. During the interview, Charmeau expressed frustration with SpaceX and attributed its success to subsidized launches for the US government. $100 million launches When pressed on the price pressure that SpaceX has introduced into the launch market, Charmeau's central argument is that this has only been possible because, "SpaceX is charging the US government 100 million dollar per launch, but launches for European customers are much cheaper." Essentially, he says, launches for the US military and NASA are subsidizing SpaceX's commercial launch business. FURTHER READING ULA executive admits company cannot compete with SpaceX on launch costs However, the pay-for-service prices that SpaceX offers to the US Department of Defense for spy satellites and cargo and crew launches for NASA are below those of what other launch companies charge. And while $100 million or more for a military launch is significantly higher than a $62 million commercial launch, government contracts come with extra restrictions, reviews, and requirements that drive up this price. Even as Charmeau decries what he calls subsidies for SpaceX from the US government, he admits that Ariane cannot exist without guaranteed contracts purchased by European governments. To make the Ariane 6 vehicle viable, Charmeau said Ariane needs five launches in total for 2021 and eight guaranteed launches for 2022. No reusability During the interview, Charmeau also addressed reusability when the interviewer raised this as a possibility for lowering the cost of launch. In response, Charmeau asserts that the interviewer cannot know whether re-flying boosters is less expensive, as SpaceX claims. "How do you know that?" Charmeau asks. "Do you know their real cost structure?" We do not, of course, as SpaceX is privately held. And it is highly probable that SpaceX has lost money so far on its effort to develop a reusable first stage. But now that it has begun flying the Block 5 variant of the Falcon 9 rocket, the company seems well positioned both to lower its prices as well as take profits from this research-and-development effort. Charmeau said the Ariane rocket does not launch often enough to justify the investment into reusability. (It would need about 30 launches a year to justify these costs, he said). And then Charmeau said something telling about why reusability doesn't make sense to a government-backed rocket company—jobs. "Let us say we had ten guaranteed launches per year in Europe and we had a rocket which we can use ten times—we would build exactly one rocket per year," he said. "That makes no sense. I cannot tell my teams: 'Goodbye, see you next year!'" This seems a moment of real irony. Whereas earlier in the interview Charmeau accuses the US government of subsidizing SpaceX, a few minutes later he says the Ariane Group can't make a reusable rocket because it would be too efficient. For Europe, a difficult decision now looms. It can either keep subsidizing its own launch business in order to maintain an independent capability, or it can give in to Elon Musk and SpaceX, and Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin. Charmeau seems to have a clear view of where he thinks the continent should go. "It is about future business," Charmeau said. "Why do all the billionaires invest in space? Why does Jeff Bezos come to Germany and declare that the country should not go to space? He makes money with your personal data. Today he knows your Amazon orders, tomorrow he drives your car."

I just finished binging "SAFE". It was pretty good. It reminded me of other british shows I've watched in the last few years. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7902072/?ref_=nv_sr_1

I look forward to it. I enjoyed the movie, and someone said it was better. I was catching up on other shows. Will binge watch soon.

Ha. I just heard this on KLBJ. In HTown. http://abc13.com/hpd-officer-to-woman-pretend-like-were-going-to-shoot-you/3499764/ HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A viral video involving Houston police officers is now under investigation after an officer was recorded ordering four individuals to exit a vehicle. In a video recorded by Denee Harris, an officer can be heard over the loudspeaker saying, "Hands up! Put your hands up. Over your head! Pretend like we're going to shoot you." "Why would he say that?" Harris said in the video. Another officer confiscated one of the passenger's crutches, throwing it on the ground, and an officer can be seen driving the vehicle away from the scene. Harris is heard commenting in the video, and later told Storyful News, "I was so scared. I didn't know how it was going to end." The reason for the traffic stop and detentions were not immediately clear. HPD told Eyewitness News that they are aware of the video and are looking into the video and circumstances of it.

I have never hosted a party like this, so I don't know what to search for or companies to contact. If you could let me know, I would appreciate it. I've reached out to my waiter friends, but I have not gotten a reply. Thanks
