    Pretty much yes. Amusing at the recent GDQ (Games Done Quick) event where a speedrunner's controller had issues, and all three replacements he went out and bought had stick drift. This is especially brutal for speedrunning when pixel and frame perfection is key to a speedrun.

    Guess which battery size the Surface pen uses? Hint: It isn't one of the ones that are carried at supermarkets, gas stations, and convenience stores.

    Think I may have already posted it earlier in this thread, but it taking "up to 2 weeks to remove you from our mailing list" after unsubscribing. No, it fucking does not, we are in a modern digital world.

    Look at the bright side, it could be a nightmare mowing client complaining about how your HJ wasn't edging well.

    So, uh, how many more losses do you want me to take? Asking for a friend.

    Calls it minimalism, puts it on a real plate. Negged.

    In a pinch, the aluminum tape for air ducts works too.

    I'm perpetually in a state of "Wow, am I smart." Do what Wally does, lose 50%? "Wow, am I smart." Don't do what Wally does, lose 50%? "Wow, am I smart."

    Pleasantly surprised, it looks like 3 cars backed in!

    This is a really good way to put it. Not only the smoke issue, but if you have too much on fire (too large a flame front), you will snuff out the fire trying to run low because no single point of fire can get enough oxygen to stay lit. (choking)

    Mac, if you are having trouble with lower temp, do a leak check. Small air leaks will make it really hard to control low temps.

    I often order an extra pizza and leave it lid open on the counter just to cool it down for the next morning.

    Get a feel for vent settings, what vent openings give roughly what temps. Then start the coals however you want (I use a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol), up front near the lower vent (draft into the vent will push the fire toward the rear). Once you have a tennis ball sized ball of red coals, close it, set the vents, and start the cook whenever the smoke looks clear. Don't wait for starting temp (using this method it should be too low at first), trust the vents to end up at your target temp. Fine adjust the vents to tune your temp after the temp comes back up after adding food.

    I love how each new BMW looks like a cheap Chinese copy of a BMW.

    October Sky, esp if he's a bit of an engineer mind. It's a great engineering movie, plus a great family story.

    The Trek series book "The Kobayashi Maru" by Julia Ecklar is a very enjoyable read that goes into how Kirk, Chekov, Scotty, and Sulu did in each of their Kobayashi Maru tests. It's a very touching story that I think does a great job personifying each of those characters. Highly recommended, easy read.

    Fake news, no Surly wife is going to admit they A. hit a curb or B. popped a tire Come home (driving on the flat tire with alignment all out of whack from the bent control arm), park in garage, "Don't know, it was fine when I went to the mall yesterday!"
