    I did a whole turkey in my parents Cabela's brand pellet grill a couple years ago for Thanksgiving - it turned out great and cooked surprisingly fast, probably due to air convection in the pellet grill. Granted, I had a whole birds worth of drippings to help keep it moist, but I'd bet you can get a pretty good result and even a baby smoke ring

    Not really a surprise the qanon party has a strong meme game

    They did while they could, and now they're losing their customer base and causing long term damage. It's been a pretty consistent critique of the consultant brain business to sell out future stability for impermanent growth this quarter to hit your bonus numbers before you jump ship. It harms things long term but generates a big fat short term boon today at the cost of future opportunities Granted, you and yours tend to plug your ears and call people communist as soon as you start to disagree so I can understand why you don't remember this discussion

    Just wait till they hear about who came up with the TOR network

    Well now you're just describing a tumbler, where a bunch of wallets deposit and intermingle funds to confound tractability and the operator keeps a percentage take for their trouble

    Who here is a fan of the current healthcare system? Aside from people who profiteer off of it, of course

    There's a whole field of forensic blockchain analysis that's been key to unwinding quite a few cryptofrauds and criminal prosecutions - Silk Road included https://www.wired.com/story/the-science-of-crypto-forensics-court-battle

    Blanket swaddles are for suckers - we've been loving having a sleep sack that we can zip up and unzip from the bottom to change a diaper without getting her all unswaddled The HALO Swaddles in particular were great for a nice snug-but-not-too-tight hold that she couldn't wriggle out of

    It's not so much as "voting for Harris" as it is "voting against trump" for me. Not voting IS an effective vote for trump, and we CAN NOT take another four years of that child rapist in charge.

    Protecting national security IS an official duty, after all

    I got a big cast iron slab from costco for $20 a while back, and have been using it to sear steaks and grill burgers on my cheapo pit boss grill. It really gets a nice crust and cleans up super easy

    I'm not sure if you're aware, but it's a bit of a meme that furries tend to be IT admins lol https://thespinoff.co.nz/internet/11-01-2022/who-runs-the-internet-furries

    Found this in /r/Houston: https://old.reddit.com/r/houston/comments/1e0kqp5/tiktok_linemen_are_stalled_because_centerpoint_is/ Apparently in the comments there's a ton of linemen in town from out of state commenting and confirming they are sitting and waiting in parking lots, awaiting orders from Centerpoint on where to go, and some are being asked to wait while Centerpoint negotiates their pay rates. edit: found a local news link on it too https://www.khou.com/article/news/investigations/power-repair-trucks-parking-lots/285-6a0f110f-3c74-416d-87f2-2f1fd75d2328

    The real kicker is when centerpoint requests and receives a rate increase from the PUC in order to cover """repairs and hardening""" again. While paying out big fat dividends to shareholders, mind you.

    https://www.politicususa.com/2024/07/10/debate-crissi-report-bogus.html TLDR (from the article itself): Democrats who are calling for Biden’s removal are playing into a crisis that the media created. There is no statistical support for the idea that voters have left Biden or that there is an urgent need for Democrats to replace their nominee.

    Damn that's like a bad episode of SVU

    Can I get a link for that?

    It really is wild how quickly CNN got even shittier after getting bought by that conservative billionaire

    Whitmire has been a disappointment through this disaster. He's not leading - he's reacting. And he fucking yells into every goddamn mic he's in front of and it sounds like he's talking through a drive-thru order box

    I'm not sure I understand how you can have such an oversupply that you're burning the excess, while simultaneously expecting prices to double or triple. It would take all those brand new wells getting capped and giving up on completions for the supply to drop enough to move prices by 200% or more

    It's not just sweetheart deals - we the people of Texas are paying these fuckers to turn off their rigs when we need power. And they're making MORE money by simply turning off their computers than they are from actually doing the cryptomining. Our group of happy fascists are just handing over taxpayer dollars because they think that increasing demand on our grid will magically entice more power providers to set up shop and exploit our distressed markets

    Counterpoint to all the of "BIDEN IS SO OLD WE GOTTA VOTE FOR TRUMP!!!": it's just outrageous how trump has a completely different rubric than Biden. He's always been a word salad and rape machine, so I guess that's all honkey dorey now?
