  1. Can't disagree with that. But our team will be better for the other recruits that come to play with him. That alone is worth it even if he busts.
  2. $2 for the first bag, $1 per additional bag. Rounded up as needed. I'm talking about the shuttle driver, not the guy toting your bags all the way to the room. More for that guy.
  3. I got the same one a couple weeks ago. Recteq 700. I’ve done ribs, brisket, chicken, and a couple pork tenderloins. So easy. Really enjoying it. On my offset I always used oak because mesquite was too overpowering. On the recteq I used B&B post oak pellets. Obviously the pellet smoker can’t generate the amount of smoke as an offset and I found the bark to be less than I’d like. Less bark texture and less smoke flavor. It was great on other cuts of meat but lacking for a brisket. This was without a smoke tube which I’ve since ordered. I’m wondering if mesquite pellets would be a better choice. Maybe the more robust flavor of mesquite would go a little further in pellet form than oak does.
  4. Monitored alarms have caused more hassle than benefits to me.
  5. You’ve eaten ballsack sweat.
  6. A deadbolt and doorknob.
  7. Hey I work lots of Sundays… but only if I took the preceding Wed-Sat off.
  8. Came to this thread curious about why Wolfgang Puck warrants 16 pages. I read the last page and a half and came away with a whole new appreciation for my career. There’s no way I could put up with the corporate rat-race shenanigans. A couple years of trying to decode all the unwritten etiquette and tightrope the line between self-preservation and decency… the whole thing sounds demoralizing.
  9. Anything ever sent back to the kitchen for any reason, legit or not, is getting returned to the customer with a loogie buried in it, or having been rubbed across the chef’s ballsack, or some other nastiness. This is a fixed and unwavering law of the universe. There are zero exceptions. It baffles my mind that people think they can send food back back and expect it will get properly rectified.
  10. The rubber bands would pull the blades in the opposite direction. The electricity would be sucked from the grid instead of pushed to it. Kind of like the Vac-U-Suck debacle in Spaceballs. The mirror idea is legit though, I envision it as one long continuous line of mirrors completely encircling the globe so that the light gets right back to the panel from the other side. One such set of globe-encircling mirrors per panel.
  11. I have Kwikset smart locks. I can open and close remotely, I get a notification and a history of which door was opened with which code. I give the maids a new code each week. I set a new code on my phone from halfway across the country and text it to the the day they clean. When I get the notification that they left I delete that code. Easy installation and set up. Just logs into your wifi. I have lots of smart shit it none of it is connected to any whole home apps.
  12. I'm re-watching GOT with my son right now. It recently occured to me that I know all sorts of plot lines in early episodes before re-watching them but I have no fucking clue how the show ended. I watched it to the end but for the life of me I can't remember who got the throne and who all lived. That is a shitty fucking ending.
  13. I’m just glad our junkie population is so literate. It’s a battle trying to get my kids to spend more time at the library.
  14. This too: “TPWD said there’s no timetable for getting the plane out of the lake, but crews are securing the crash site “to reduce any environmental impacts.” Guy puts a plane in the drink and Austin’s response is to make sure it doesn’t harm all the dead bodies, deformed fish, and that one alleged alligator.
  15. I know exactly one heroin addict that I’m aware of. This person has been narcan’ed back to life multiple times. He is an absent deadbeat dad, a wife beater, and regularly commits life-threatening level violence only to serve a little time and get out early for the overcrowded prisons where he lives. He’s had 5 DUI’s and served a total of 28 days in jail after the last one, mostly served on weekends only. He has one adult child who is also an addict and a child molester. He also has one minor child with whom he only gets supervised visits yet still regularly manages to abuse emotionally. He is employed and enabled by his rich parents. Drivers license suspensions, garnered paychecks, criminal records etc, have zero effect on him. He is pure garbage and if I had the narcan in my hands while he OD’d I rather watch him die. I fully acknowledge that we can’t assume all addicts are like this guy. But if that’s the only type of addict you have experience with I can see how it takes a little effort to get there.
  16. Aviator airframes fit right under the helmet. Even though they can wear glasses, there are still limits to how bad their vision can be. I assume that limit is such that they could still safely fly the airplane if their glasses broke. I was required to fly with glasses on my person for many years before I actually started wearing them on my face. To be clear, I’m not a Navy pilot, I just work with a whole lot of them.
  17. That changed a long time ago. Pilots in every military branch can wear glasses as long as it’s correctable to 20/20. A few other stipulations as well. This includes even before beginning flight training. If your eyes deteriorate after flight training the standards are even more lax I think the Navy was actually the first to start allowing glasses and that was more than 30 years ago. The other services followed later.
  18. Yeah, we probably are looking at it from different angles. To me, getting to the x-ray machine quicker is all that matters. Taking off shoes and pulling out a laptop doesn’t bug me much if i got skip the long line. But I get that for others, the pre check lane is valuable for the whole shoes and laptops hassle.
  19. ^ That is the way to go. It’s not usually found on their website but Google turns up the link and it still works as of a couple weeks ago when there was another thread about Clear. Best part is that it works instantly after sign up. No need for a separate trip to the airport or a long waiting period. And in busy times Clear is way faster than Pre Check.
  20. Christ man. I think I speak for every reader of the thread when I say we were expecting something different. I mean, spoilering it was a good start, but maybe alert us that it’s going to be a naked octogenarian man so we know not to open it.
  21. I only eat the best French mustard. and Mayo is nasty. Fake, real, homemade, gourmet, whatever… just gross.
  22. I bet if you let any member of your family near it for any amount of time it will quickly be separated from the RV. One less thing to break later. If that fails roll it up onto the roof and look for a low bridge.
  23. This can’t be real. I mean, you’re making up stories for our entertainment now right? Carry on though, it’s working.
  24. I love the smell. Also love using the brisket ice chest for cold drinks. Kids complain that the the cans smell like brisket, I smile and nod.
