    Dealing with addiction

    If you're really an addict, that is a totally unrealistic proposition. I don't know if you are actually an addict, but if you are, "just cutting back" isn't really a thing.

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    That's a reflection of the times though. Salary caps and free agency make it harder to keep a team together, but they make it much easier to build a team or bring in guys to fill needs. Comparing people from different eras is just jerking off. It was a different game back then. Did you know...

    Car Buying Help

    My brother and sister in law had a Passat and had a lot of problems with it. They have told me that they won't buy another VW. Don't have details though, sorry.

    Yeah, and you can do that with pretty much all barbecue. It's not like the stuff is coming right out of the smoker at your favorite rib joint. It's all reheated.

    Yeah it really sucks to run out of fuel on a Kamado because adding coals is such a shit show and then it's tough to get the thing back to temp. Did you just add cold coals or did you get them going in a chimney first?

    If he can play defensive back as a white guy, he can probably do anything.

    It would be easy to bake cinnamon rolls in a BGE, but I'm not sure the smoky flavor would enhance them.

    Good job ignoring the whole article except the one sentence that tells you what you wanted to hear. I have a BGE and have never had an issue with ash building up on a single cook and if I did I would spend 30 seconds scraping the ash out. Buy what you want, I'm just letting people know that...

    I'm not saying you can't use it, just that it costs more and performs worse than briquettes. I have used it to smoke shit in my BGE many times, back before I knew that there is no reason to use it.

    Briquettes are more consistent, especially for smoking. Different sizes of lump charcoal make temperature control more difficult and has no real upside. The Science of Charcoal: How Charcoal is Made and How Charcoal Works - amazingribs.com

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    I'm doing sliders for the SB this year. Buffalo chicken, mini burgers, and hot pastrami. It's going to be the first time in many years when I haven't made wings so I hope people aren't disappointed, but I figure that the buffalo chicken sliders are pretty similar.

    Smokers / Grills

    Cheap gas grills make me want to kill myself (I have to cook on my Mom's all the time). The only "good" grill that you can get really cheap is the weber kettle (or the smokey joe if it's just you) but those are charcoal. Briquets aren't really all that important, you will find a lot of...

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    I would like to hear the "Two Weiners for Daddy" album. I have given up on the new TOOL album. I think Maynard has finally disappeared up his own asshole and the other band members just haven't come to terms with it yet.

    Retarded Quinn and SJW Carrie are not fun. Carrie is not a lawyer so her whole involvement in this case doesn't really make much sense. We really need some shit to go down soon because this is boring.

    Since every falcons possession is a touchdown you try anything you can to keep them from getting the ball. Green Bay can't stop Jones even by holding him.

    Dealing with addiction

    Admitting that you have a problem and need help is the beginning. Go to some meetings, every night if necessary, get a sponsor, and then you and your sponsor can evaluate whether you have to go to rehab. Residential rehab in NYC is probably going to be a retarded amount of money.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I'm disappointed with the grand mac. I thought it needed more meat and it has it, but they also made the bun bigger so the meat/bread ratio seemed about the same. I think a regular big Mac with 1/4 lb patties would have been better. The red beans and rice at Popeyes are the shit.

    Smartphones

    Yeah, I always think about selling my old phone but usually wind up just sticking it in a drawer in case I break the new one. Don't give a fuck about resale value. My point is that people pay more for shit because it has an apple logo on it, whether that makes any sense or not.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    Yeah, I've heard that it was pretty much a 20 hour a day job for John Stewart. It was a great show but the chances of finding a replacement with that level of talent and that much passion for it probably ain't going to happen. It's sad though, because TDS/Colbert was a great hour of TV any...

    The Young Pope

    The story so far seems to be "Jude Law is the pope now, and he's walking around being weird and smoking cigarettes". I was a little drunk on football beer when I watched the first episode so I thought maybe I was missing something, but episode 2 seemed to be similar.

    That's not saying much. Trevor Noah seems like an interesting guy in interviews, but his Daily Show is unwatchable.

    Smartphones

    I do this pretty regularly and it does help but it still isn't tight like when it was new. My phone almost never says "charging rapidly" anymore either, even though all of my chargers are capable of it. I think wireless charging is going to be a requirement on my next phone.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Hot bodies are a terrible way to judge quarterbacks. Ben, Eli, Peyton...all flabby, pasty white boys, all have multiple rings. Hell even Brady doesn't look that good with his shirt off. Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick on the other hand, look like statues of greek gods and suck at...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    That's what I was thinking. I don't really see how it makes sense for the 9ers either. Obviously Rivers would be a huge upgrade to anyone on SF's roster but when you're building a team from scratch it's kind of silly to bring in a 35 year old quarterback who doesn't want to move and will have...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    This is what I thought when the 49ers lost the superbowl a few years ago. Holding a playoff quality team together is really hard these days. If Dak turns into a real elite QB then maybe, but he's got a ways to go for that.

    How much income is enough?

    Another way that you get nailed for living in a high cost of living area. Less expensive areas tend to have lower rates AND lower property values == Lower taxes. Same house in a small town vs. someplace like San Francisco costs 1/3 as much and you pay 1/3 the taxes on it. Even if your salary...
