    Smokers / Grills

    I had run off tallow in that pan under it. Kept that in a jar to the side to liberally reapply during wrapping and it seemed to be effective. End result was a solid brisket, juicy but not quite as "stupidly tender" as I tend to like it, but still "cut with a fork". Also not as much bark as I...

    Well... 12 hours low and slow (200 temp, 175 final probe temp) When I took it out to wrap just the pressure from my picking it up was causing juice to flow out. Lesson 1 from first brisket, be a little more aggressive trimming fat cap on top. (This was fat side up) How else have I ruined...

    Well... Before trying to use it as a glorified reheater for Xmas. Trying first brisket tonight. 12 hours at 200 Wrap and raise temp to 260 Temp sensor to trigger at 195, remove at 210 to rest. Using a very basic salt/pepper/garlic powder rub. Odd being taken on : Good brisket Dry brisket...

    Blue Beetle (2023)

    I will admit I am just sentimental because of the love I have for the 80's Beetle/Booster stuff. And I think Gunn could do a hell of an entertaining "Buddy cop flick" of that. Not sure who to put as Kord though, since Nathan Fillion already has a role in the "GunnVerse" and he'd be my first pick.

    That is what I was worried about, but not putting any foil over them I worry about drying the things out since they are pre-cooked. I literally looked at three local stores and couldn't find an uncooked turkey, it was kinda odd.... The alternative would be pans with no covering foil, and then...

    So now I will hit with the utter newb question. I won't have time to practice and get shit really right enough to trust myself to do all the meats for Xmas dinner. I will be smoking an inaugural brisket in it this week. (it's in the fridge, I figure to rub it tomorrow, and smoke it on...

    Gran Turismo (2023)

    Had a business trip this week so I had to fly to California and back. Took it as an excuse to watch movies on the plane's streaming that I wouldn't have bothered to otherwise. The trip to Cali was Blue Beetle, the trip back to Dallas was this.... In general, I concur with the people who said...

    Blue Beetle (2023)

    So I had a work trip this last week which involved a couple plane flights. I watched this as it was in the planes library of movies on the flight to California. Actual review : Not that bad, but very forgettable. Thought I would go in and hate the absence of the real Blue Beetle (IMHO) but...

    $URNM = Sprott Uranium Mining ETF (This year for URNM) I still believe that in the long run the best of the "clean" energy options will end up being nuclear, this functionally let me invest at the base level of that. Expense ratio is .83% so I'm not in love with that. But it has been getting...

    I think essentially the Fed has realized the markets are so deperate for a reason to go up that they know "Oh, we need to goose stocks for a few days/a week? Say no more fam, get MC Powell up there for a vague statement about reducing rates we can mostly retract a few days later without...

    Another thing to realize about rates right now. It's inevitable that the economy will necessitate the fed dropping rates to the floor again at some point, probably in the next couple years. So even if you have a steep payment getting into the house it's a matter of waiting to refi when they...

    If the NFT's are on a reasonably secured chain then they are unique generated (i.e. the "Non-fungible" part). Meaning that's what protects you from item dupes. It requires a cryptographic process to create the NTF token. Which is then completely trackable since it's on a blockchain. You could...
