  1. Three GS limited editions for Thailand. Production is 100pc of ea:
  2. Also for you, spotted in store a few weeks ago:
  3. In that vein, Bosch for dishwashers.
  4. That 'wheelchair ramp' is wider than some boat ramps!
  5. Sorryforpartying.gif
  6. Yes, it's generally very fast. 2wks for most of my staff in Bangkok.
  7. Brisket and other cuts high in connective tissue (shank, chuck, pork shoulder/butt, chicken dark meat, etc) cook differently than "lean" meats that don't contain connective tissue. If no connective tissue, then your statement above is correct; "moist" meat is largely based on water content of the meat, and if you keep cooking, it just loses moisture, and gets dry and overcooked. You will never be able to do a 6hr cook on a lean cut like a filet or a pork tenderloin, those are zero connective tissue and the cook is all about managing water content. Cook out the water and they are dry as fuck. Internal temp is of utmost importance here. Connective tissue breaks down into gelatin after some time and temperature. What is happening in a brisket is first you cook off the water (hence the stall), but then you keep cooking to break down the connective tissue into gelatin. A "moist" piece of brisket is largely gelatin. If you undercook a brisket, you have cooked off all the water, but you have not converted connective tissue to gelatin, resulting in a totally dry piece of meat that is also chewy as fuck. As you continue to cook, the chewiness decreases because the chewy connective tissue is converting into gelatin, which is also increasing the "moist" feeling of the meat. For low and slow, internal temp is completely irrelevant, as different animals and cuts have differing amounts of connective tissue. Hence the probe test. It's done when it's done.
  8. That's actually all the algorithms are doing. It's just a much more refined screwing than what car dealers do.
  9. Add a leftover prime rib bone to your ramen to take it to 12.
  10. Same way airline tickets are sold.
  11. This. On the one hand nice that they're getting used, but on the other hand, what a chunk of history just being thrown away.
  12. So your dad was wrong! Your eye was just fine.
  13. Heard an ad on AZ radio years back, still sticks in my head for how ridiculous it was. Shop was one of those that puts horrendous 24-30" rimzzzz on yo Escalade. "Is your bad credit preventing you from getting the rims and tires you deserve?" Related, but ad wasn't for this shop (I also don't recommend this shop after trying them twice for my e46m3):
  14. Fucking amen.
  15. If you want to really nerd out on this, USG is a huge manufacturer of construction materials, and they have an excellent guide that shows construction methods for acoustic mitigation. It obviously focuses on their products, but the structural diagrams and principles apply to anything and are very clear and easy to understand. Diagrams start on PDF page 15. http://www.usg.com/content/dam/USG_Marketing_Communications/united_states/product_promotional_materials/finished_assets/acoustical-assemblies-en-SA200.pdf
  16. Huh. And it doesn't say Swift.
  17. This. Work with an international company and you realize every meeting time seriously fucks some region's sleep.
  18. I love this movie, but I also love to pirate people's wifi.
  19. Oh damn.
  20. Not TX, but: Is T-Mobile 5g home internet available for you? It's 50/mo and has been very good service for a few people in my neighborhood in AZ. Fast and no outages.
  21. There was quite a bit of public awareness messaging about breaking down boxes in AZ, not because of space, but because thieves were driving around looking for big TV boxes so they knew which houses to break in to the next week.
  22. This. What in the actual fuck Parliament, I hope you're trolling. And this. This is my life.
  23. "Do whatever you want, you're going to ignore my suggestion anyway."
