News stories that remind you of Surly
Having heard many recent school bus stories from nephew, I absolutely side with the driver on this one. Talk about a thankless shitty job.

Is anyone actually surprised by that? That's why your clubs are in a shipping bag. You think anyone treats them differently?

They're fantastic drivers cars and make super reliable track cars with just some basic mods. More engaging to drive than my 996tt.

Any good thermometer deals?
It's actually even lower. Something like 8min at 140. I pull white meat (breasts) at 135 and dark meat at 155. The dark meat just needs higher temp for texture reasons, just like doing brisket vs tenderloin, not for food safety reasons. It's all safe at basically 140. Champ recommended the Lavatools Javelin as a Thermoworks alternative for instant-read, and I've been happy with both options. Would easily recommend Javelin on a budget, and they also do sales around big grilling holidays.

I pledge to post more pictures of this STEAK
Check out YT where Guga compounds butter with a Whopper and Big Mac. It's amusing, and not awful.

They actually do send it instantly, but it takes a little time for hackers to intercept it and pull up the login screen and hack your account before they forward it to you.

I love how he got out, then second guessed himself, like "Wait, why do I want to save her?"

Seriously, get the Datejust. Buy one used and it'll only go up in value. Unlike every other option mentioned so far.

Denis Villeneuve's Dune
Just saw this on a Dune FB group (yeah I'm a nerd), it clips all the book lines talking about the Missionaria Protectiva and their practice of seeding prophecies all over. Makes it very clear that this was just one prophecy out of a catalog and the fact that Paul happened to land in a place seeded for Him (Kwizatz Haderach Him) was a hugely fortuitous coincidence.

Wrong thread. The having to wake up and go to airport at 5am making you Surly thread is that way ------>

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Multiple visits multiple BOA branches. You go in and there's a "greeter" at a terminal. They ask wtf you're there for, you tell them, and they 80% of the time tell you it can be done at the ATM and would you like them to show you (deposits and withdrawals are most of these)? Or it can be done on the web site. If it needs an appointment they ask if you made one online, and when you say no they graciously check the schedule and help you schedule something on their terminal, usually hours away if you're lucky, in a few days if less lucky. It isn't the teller telling anyone to get out of line. The greeter fucking actively deters you from being able to get in to the teller line.

My bank branch actively steers everyone toward using the ATM services (or worse, to the app or website), it's like you have to pass their Gandalf "you shall not pass" to be allowed into the teller line. No you fuckers, it's like self checkout, sometimes I'm going to have you guys do the work.
