  1. Bought a new house with a dedicated media room. Wired the surround myself, put in Definitive Technology Mythos Gems and a SVS-PC-2000 running off a Denon AVR-X2300 and a 75" Sony 900 series 4K TV. Quite happy with the results.
  2. Supposedly it's finally actually being released in January. Hype?
  3. So this is the boost your post count thread?
  4. You can probably get a free cabinet off of craigslist when someone dumps another nonworking pachinko. I've gotten rid of 2 or 3 over the past few years. Lot more vintage cabs than modern ones. I'm about 80% done withe the build; just need to finish up some filler, sanding, and painting.
  5. But then you're losing the benefit of the sous vide, which is to not lose any liquid prior to or during the cook. If you smoke first, you will lose moisture.
  6. It had a pretty good smoke flavor. Not overpowering by any means, though. With the brisket coming out of the fridge, it takes quite a while for the temperature to rise overall.
  7. When the ask for a volunteer at Jameson toward the end, do it. I can give you the answers, too, if you want to look like a whiskey junkie.
  8. Took a trip to Japan with the boys (8 and 5) earlier this summer. Got them a Gundam pachinko machine as a joint birthday present and am building a cabinet for it. Will post pictures when it's finished.
  9. I've sous vided then finished in a smoker. Results were excellent. Kosher salt and pepper only dry rub. 155 degrees for 36 hours or so. Let cool all the way, rub additional salt/pepper. Smoked for about 6 hours at 275.
  10. This may turn out to be a heavier 12 months of Disney than I expected. Last month, went to Japan and stopped in Tokyo Disneyland for 2 days. Really cool to see the 35th anniversary stuff and the Star Festival stuff with the kids. Had already planned, and just booked, WDW for next Spring Break. Hedging on Caribbean Beach in case the Skyliner is done by then. ...now seriously considering doing NYE at DCA as part of a longer trip to SoCal. I know DL is completely insane for NYE, but hearing DCA isn't quite as crowded.
  11. I've done this twice, and it's probably cheating, but it turned out pretty good. 1. Sous vide brisket for 38 hours at 155 degrees. 2. Let rest (chill overnight in fridge) 3. Smoke for 6ish hours at 275 or so.
  12. Was there about 5 years ago for a conference. Guinness and Jameson are a must. Plenty of cool historical stuff. I had a few good upscale dinners that I could probably look up, but don't really remember anything being bad.
  13. Yes, a therapist would help. Finding the right SSRI/SNRI can be a chore. I know this post was a month ago, but if you don't like where you are with Zoloft, try something else. You can also do a test like Genesight (https://genesight.com/) that could help figure out where to go next.
  14. Have had a Casper for about 6 months now, and like it. Amazon has them as a Deal of the Day every few months.
  15. Sony 4K is probably the best for fast motion. 4K OLED LG is better for color/black level. And those TCLs are a steal for that you're getting.
  16. This sounds like the progression of a herniated to ruptured disk. Family member had something like that happen about 15 years ago, progression was fast and surgery ended up being the only option.
  17. I've been out of the loop for like 6 months. Is whatever the fuck happened summarized somewhere?
