  1. You're in a lucky time zone. 2000 Fri budget update calls.
  2. Yes. Answer is yes.
  3. Nostrils.
  4. A mutton chop from Keen's?
  5. I find a steamer dome (fancy name for inverted metal bowl, but with a handle hopefully cool to touch) to be useful on flattops for stir fry, melting cheese, etc. And a little squirt bottle of water, to inject under the dome to provide the steam.
  6. Must have a pretty comfortable couch to sleep on.
  7. Walmart previous prices were on sale. The current prices are normal MSRP prices. Sales come and go fairly regularly, never pay MSRP for this stuff. Not to make you feel bad, but individual Costco are putting Classic2 on clearance at end of season, lots of internet posts showing that the clearance ones are $497. Might be worth you checking back in store regularly, buy and return on your old receipt if you find one on clearance. Edit: Also note the Big Joe 1 has been down to ~775 on sale at Amazon at one point, and in the 800s at Walmart.
  8. Couple fried brisket videos on YT, results look kind of terrible, I would expect it to be chewy as fuck. Guga did one where he confited it for a long while and it turned out well, I'd imagine similar to the LeroyLewis beef cheeks confit. Now if you smoked brisket and then thick sliced and katsu fried it using light breadcrumb like Japanese katsu, it might be amazing...
  9. That's because you actually CAN use Excel for everything:
  10. I don't want anyone who thinks our-of-the-box.
  11. The one without the stupid grey box. I can't believe how many resumes I get on fancy templates or with random design art on them. Trend is going up, esp with newer grads, as they seek to "distinguish themselves." Get that shit off your resume. The only thing other than text on your resume should be sparing use of bold and/or underline. Maybe font size, again sparingly.
  12. It's nice to see that ESG investing is starting to get some backlash now, even at the institutional level. The company's duty is to its shareholders, period, not to any ESG noise.
  13. Both of these. I also remember the first time I tried a KK, they'd just opened in AZ, news had been hyping it for weeks, there were lines around the building and out the parking lot. They gave me a freebie hot off the belt, and it was amazingly good. Had never had an airy, glutinous dough with chew like that compared to the bread/cake style donuts at Dunkin etc. I'll gladly choose KK if comparing hot off the line. In-N-Out fits the spirit of this thread. Similar to KK above, news hyped it for weeks when it came to AZ. Lines out the parking lot. I finally went, took one bite, and said "wtf, why?" Terrible burger, even more terrible fries, and a meh shake. Literally no redeeming item, didn't finish any of it, went to eat elsewhere. Five Guys has damn good (and generous) Cajun fries, and a bad Five Guys burger is still way better than any In-N-Out.
  14. Santa Rally 2024! Who's in?
  15. There've been patches, there've been new characters, there've been random gun changes, nothing really noteworthy. They did nerf Wingman pretty hard by making it take sniper ammo and mags, and they inexplicably made Spitfire use light ammo. But, the season that just started added a game mode, Gun Game - if you're familiar from CS, you start with a gun and get a new gun every time you kill someone. Climb through the list of guns first to win. It's fun, faster paced than any normal BR game, good way to sit down and do some mindless aim and gun practice, and much less focus on you knowing the map, knowing jumpmaster strategies, worrying about ring, etc. It's a limited time mode for now, but seems to be popular enough that I'd expect we see it more in the future. My only complaint is it's slower paced than CS gun games as the maps are too large for the number of players, you can spawn and spend a while running around trying to find the other teams. If the learning curve has kept you from trying Apex, I'd suggest trying some gun game now.
  16. 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.
  17. May be a repost: https://www.carvibz.com/supercars/mclaren-p1-flooded-and-pulled-through-garage-by-hurricane-ian/
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 40 people 40 pizzas, never goes wrong.
  21. Look at the bright side, it could be a nightmare mowing client complaining about how your HJ wasn't edging well.
  22. So, uh, how many more losses do you want me to take? Asking for a friend.
  23. Calls it minimalism, puts it on a real plate. Negged.
  24. In a pinch, the aluminum tape for air ducts works too.
