  1. I'm now looking to buy and re-reading this thread. All of this shit is way overkill for me. I don't need (or want) a $6k range. We make mac n cheese and eggs. But I am paranoid about some of these brands that are in the $3 and $4k range. Forget Miele and Wolf and Thermador, I would settle for GE or Kitchenaid but those are also $6k. I'm definitely doing 36" gas stove and either convection or air fryer oven combo with an under cabinet ducted hood. Any recs? If I filter 36" gas on Lowes website I get Kucht, Premier, Forno, Thor, Kosmo, NXR etc. I appreciate the surly culinary institute's preference towards the good life but I really, really don't need that. I have never once regretted the piece of crap $400 range we used to have. It just needs to look nice, be functional, not break and fit in with the rest of the newly redone kitchen.
  2. Yes and I love that they have him facing Gronk. Also got a good chuckle out of the rooster/Manny Pacquiao comp.
  3. The DMX Region is live. #1 seed 2 500 lb Grizzly Bears vs #8 seed 200 5 lb rats. Scouting Report Vote #2 seed 3 333 lb Silverbacks vs #7 seed 200 5 lb cocks Vote #3 seed 25 40 lb wolverines vs #6 seed 50 20 lb racoons Vote #4 seed 100 10 lb mongooses vs #5 seed five 200 lb rams (this seems like the only non blowout of this region) Vote
  4. You might have to explain what a gynecologist is but pretty kid friendly.
  5. Maybe? If they can have bobcats, house cats and tigers all in I don't see why not. I'm waiting for the other two regions to drop anxiously. 3 333 lb gorillas or 10 100lb chimps?
  6. Thought it was hilarious. Gosling in particular. America Ferrera was awesome, as well. So was Robbie but I thought the other two stole the show. I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will.
  7. They're in the same region bruh. I have not seen the entire bracket yet, only the Steve Irwin and Big Boi regions but I hear that 3 333 lb Silverback Gorillas are in the mix for a top seed.
  8. This probably should be it's own thread but some podcasters named Jenkins and Jones are doing a beast tournament, bracket style on Twitter. It's highly entertaining. Region 3 matchups dropping today. I'm having a hard time finding the original tweet to embed but you should be able to find it from here.
  9. Should I plan anything other than the Arizona memorial in Oahu, or just chill at the beaches and on property? We have 3 days/2 nights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village with the lagoon. Kids are 13 and 10. I was going to book a helicopter and maybe the Kualoa Ranch ATV excursion but I'm kind of thinking why at this point. I don't think we're snorkel people as a disclaimer.
  10. Yesterday I decided to bet on a CFL game and so I learned that BK has their own Canadian version of the jingle featuring butter chicken and poutine. I wish I was making that up. https://youtu.be/WE20TLD8_ao
  11. So it's the new Better Call Saul at least from a thread standpoint.
  12. 2 weeks out, my house in full remodel with no kitchen and I cannot f'ing wait for this trip. I'm gonna do the Road backwards. I will report back. I think going to do the Haleakala summit for a mid morning or sunset instead of sunrise.
  13. Is this the summer league thread?
  14. From what I'm reading you either have to watch it live on your provider or wait until next day to watch on Hulu. Anyone know otherwise?

    Gym Pet Peeves

    I am considering Karening to the gym management. My gym is a big chain gym (The Edge, not sure if in TX). It's nice, I like it. It's very close to my house and strikes the right mix of real gym vs Planet Fitness vs. Meathead circuit. Their top membership tier allows you to bring a guest for free as long as you sign them in. My oldest has been trying to get into working out. I've taken him with me occasionally. He is 13, the minimum age for a guest. Of course when I bring him, he works out with me, I show him form and technique, etc. I have been seeing fucking 7 and 8 year old looking kids roaming free in the gym trying to use equipment. No clue who their parents and grandparents are. Today there were some brothers roaming free, independent of each other, one probably 8 and the other maybe 10. It annoys me. I don't want a kid to get hurt, I don't want my gym to get sued and have to close, I don't want to find myself in a position of wanting to use the lat pulldown machine but I can't because there is an 8 year old playing on it. And fuck those parents, this isn't a kiddie club. In fact the gym has a Kids club where staff will play basketball or do fake exercises and stuff with the kids. Maybe I'm just being old.
  16. No worries bro thanks for remembering. Just gotta remind someone that T Swift tickets cost more than $250... This is so shameful. We should be ashamed. Every one of us.
  17. I didn't want to get spoilered so I hadn't ventured in here until I finished. Not much more to add on the characters and episodes. Wonderful season of television. I caught the buzz about Fishes on Twitter good and bad so I couldn't wait to see what it was all about and it did not disappoint in any way. I did like Forks better. It's funny to see myself getting so into a culinary show because I have zero interest in that in real life in terms of fine dining. I would eat that steak that Tina was serving up but not much else. The one thing I will add because it hasn't been said yet. I get that he's a Chicago guy but they could have picked a better icon for inspiration than that smarmy pig-faced fucker Coach K. Also I did see that Eater Chicago was quite offended at the treatment they gave Pequod's which is hilarious. Not to mention the logistics of Richie "running out" to Lincoln Park to pick up a Chicago pie and being back in 15 minutes.
  18. I find the app pretty unusable. I said I wouldn't sign up but I lied, I did because it was so easy with my IG account. The algorithm is terrible. I don't even understand it. Is it that fucking hard for someone, anyone to create an app where you actually only see content from people that you follow and only see it in chronological order of when they post it/retweet/reply? Oh and hopefully it isn't run by a nazi. As a test when the Nassar stabbing news hit the other morning I went on threads to see if any of the hundreds of MSU or sports or news related accounts I followed would show up on my timeline. Not a single thing. But I did see some unrelated posts from Joy Taylor talks, Pink and Bollywoodsociety.
  19. What started as a question I was going to pose to you ended up with me $229 poorer and a Clear member. Thanks a lot Rachel.
  20. Verbatim exactly what I said when I read it earlier.
  21. Call me crazy but I think that's a malamute mix not a husky. I had a Malamute - it's something about the face. Good looking mutt, hope you find a home for her.
  22. I'm not sure what you mean by 4 would be tight, are you using the Kamado regardless? Sorry it has been a long week. In your situation I would personally 100% put them on Saturday night probably around 8 or 9 to be safe assuming 8-10 lbs each. I would cook at 230-275 and plan on them being done in 10-12 hours, max. I would drink heavily if I were 10 years younger and sleep well. Wrap when done in the morning and pull before leaving or serving. If you only smoke them for 5-6 hours and then put in an oven at 170 they won't get done. If you do that put them in the oven at 200. They will not dry out or get over done.
  23. Also fwiw I like wrapping them in 2x HD foil for awhile and a towel so they continue to cook. By the time you unwrap, do that into a foil pan and you will have a good amount of juice. I understand you don't want to pull onsite but in your situation I might plan to have them "done" on the smoker about 4-6 hours before I was going to pull them. But honestly those things are so hard to fuck up you're going to be good to go.
  24. What are you cooking on? Something you have to tend all night? Even on my trailer I think I would just start them the night before and I would have a spare charcoal basket ready to swap out in the middle of the night when my initial fuel burns out and temps dip below 200.
