Nothing feels better than winning vs your health insurance, hahah.

Old grey haired buy..."Save big money at Menards!!!!"

God, I hated those.

@BigRedBuster I went into a Menard's store on the day they opened (first one in the region). They played the jingle a few times on the in-store PA, and I asked an employee near me if she was sick of hearing it yet. She said they'd been playing it all the while they'd been prepping the store for opening, and the employees had already been sick of it for weeks.

True, you never know when fabricated claims of cyber-bullying and misconduct can happen to you.

My comment just got deleted! Talk about censorship!

I don't even know what I said? I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but I typed it then I clicked on "delete" and it deleted it! This is complete bullsh#t!

Samsung appliances, when they work, are great and some of the best out there. The problem is with their failure rates from assembly--if you go with a Samsung appliance, get the extended warranty and make sure it covers the store picking up and delivering/replacing at your home. 

And I own a 'Fridge (side by side). Works great, but reviews seemed to be either 4/5* or 1* (because of malfunction).

Regarding the black stainless look, currently, it's just a thin covering on the regular stainless steel.  The guy at Lowe's told us that it can scratch pretty easily.  I agree that it looks great at first, but not sure how long it would stay like that.

Interesting on it scratching easily, I hadn't heard that, I think it cleans up way easier. I guess only time will tell how it holds up. We also had to buy the whole set because we needed a new stove and dishwasher so we just said screw it and bought the microwave and fridge. Then the dryer went out so we had to buy a new dryer as well. The joy of homeownership! lol 

That is big too (Wink)...

Just kidding, it is all small

@teachercd be careful, you don't want to be building up this karma. 

Ha...Good point!  Uggg!

I did inject. 1 part Johnny's aus jus, 1 part Deschutes Obsidian Stout beer and 1/2 part water. Rubbed with black pepper, salt and granulated garlic and a little red pepper flake. It seems to be stalling at about 163. I'll let it go for a couple hours (or if it gets to 175) and then wrap it. Looks like it's going to be breakfast instead of a late lunch.

Well it's done. It stalled for a coupled hours at 158-160. I wrapped it at 163 and reduced the heat from 240 to 225. I should've adjusted my start back since it was about 4 lbs. lighter than my initial plans. I thought it would take 16 to 20 hours and I wanted it done by lunch or supper so started at 5pm but it only took about 12 hours. Didn't get much sleep. It turned out just the way I wanted. Was able to slice (barely) the Chuck roast portion for French Dips but the rest literally fell apart so it will be pulled beef for BBQ sandwiches. Seems to be moist, tender and perfect. I will say though that I prefer pulled pork over beef. I never have been a huge brisket fan and this is very similar but with a beefier flavor. Now to grab 3 more hours sleep before lunch and the ball game.

Turned out awesome. Best one I’ve done by far. The flat sliced well, will accordion but not fall apart and not dry. The point….got some to slice  but most kinda ripped apart. That point meat is money. Took about 1.5 lbs of burnt ends. Too tired to finish them today. Hopefully they’ll reheat okay with some sauce another day (next Saturday for the game) If not they’re fine as is.

@JJ Husker What was the internal temp when you pulled it off?  Did you test the temp both in the point and flat?

@BigRedBuster It ranged from 198 to 202 in the 4 places I checked it. I don’t recall what it was specifically in the point. I think the long rest is where the point went a bit too far.

As far as carving, the flat was perfect, got good slices that would accordion but not fall apart. Slicing the point was a bit dicier. Got some slices but some fell apart. I was using a serrated bread knife so a better knife would’ve helped.

I may separate the point from the flat next time…?

To be honest I don't think of posters in terms of being a negative poster or positive poster. Except for a couple of fellas who incessantly post the same crap in every single thread. (no one in this status).

You will be sorely missed Ebyl......said no one, ever.

Also, BTW, I didn't say was going anywhere.

I think he is much better than Tom with talking to the media.

True dat.

I heard him say execute once, but it actually made sense in the context of what he was talking about. It wasn't just a nervous tick.

Apple has the best products hands down. 

I have an iPhone 7+ and leaning very heavily toward getting the Pixel XL 2 when that comes out. 

Hearing leaks from insiders who have been correct in the past that the next iPhones will be able to charge wireless BUT you have to buy a wireless charger through Apple and any other third party wireless charger that works with all android phones will not work with iPhones. 

With the Pixel, Google proved that with its pure android system is on point with iOS when it goes to reliability (Samsung, LG, HTC all suffer from lag and bloat ware) and its camera software is far ahead of Apples. I think iPhone pictures have that washout look when being compared with the Pixel. The only thinly I like with my iPhone is iMessage and that's it

"vertical integration" (I hope that's the right term) refers to Apple controlling the entire development stack. So they design the hardware, they design the software, they control the app ecosystem. In Android, you have sweet hardware innovation in various corners that must conform the the Android OS, which in turn must be exposed to the different vendors and remain neutral in a sense, and then apps get developed across different devices and flavors of the OS, and so on. So you might find yourself running into some apps being only for the iPhone, or working best on the iphone.

The Washington Compost weighs in on the various Oreos.

The frosting isn't good enough to justify Double Stuffs.  Classic Oreos dunked in milk.  Like God intended.

Hydrox had(has?) better filling.  Oreos cookie part is better though.  Just one dude's opinion.

Now we're talking about weed in this status?

C N, the only reason Randy has a problem is because its illegal.

Reefer Madness....it's taking over every staus and topic.

The most practical gifts I got for wedding gifts, were the cheap ($15-$35) things.

Not to hijack this or anything, but on someones registry they literally only had things over $150 and up. I think they had one 115 item. LOL.

Why hear what was actually said when you can attribute whatever preconceived notion to the person that said it. For the record- I do blame the shutdown on the repubs and I do think they will suffer the consequences in the next few elections.

‏@slmandel Armed Forces Network has shut down too. No military members overseas will be watching CFB Sat.

Jose Canseco for president!

@JoseCanseco

Really shutting down service academy sports? Cancel one f35 and four toilet seats and you have $ for this for rest of century.#yeswecanseco

Utah and BYU are probably comparable. However, being on the road at night in first game of the season, is a lot different than having the game at home.

I feel sort of bad for QB Jake Rudock. *Sort of

If by "sort of" you mean not at all, then I'm right there with ya.

Bell's Oberon is a good wheat beer similar to Blue moon, but you'll probably only find it here. It's best in summer, but always a good go to if you like wheat beers.

I do like a good wheat beer or hefeweizen. Sounds like all I may get done this trip is trying new beers. #winning

My man!

As a dad I'd be concerned with who will be seeing that toenail paint up close and personal. If ya know what I mean. lulz

Ha. I texted her at midnight and asked if he was keeping his hands to himself or do I need to come remove them?

...he did sort of look like a younger, shorter nerdy Kevin Bacon.

The ignore function really works slick now since the board update. I literally haven't seen any posts  from my ignore list. Even when somebody else quotes them, they're easy to avoid. And the view it anyway option isn't staring you in the face every time you turn around. It's nice. Saves a ton of brain damage.

FREE SPEECH!  Ha

That's not how that works, teach.

I guess just stop using your work email when you sign up for porn sites.

@JJ Husker, I don't know of an effective spam filter for an in-house email server, but there's gmail available for businesses called G Suite. It's probably not what you want, but I've worked for a couple companies that used it and it's great.

The email I use for my business seems to be pretty clean, maybe a couple a day (get one daily from a local youth baseball/softball league I coach my kids in).

Now my personal email, the one I put down on everything that requires an email address? If feels like 6,000 a day, but it's probably more like 30-40

I have some baby back ribs and chicken wings in the freezer.  Might be a good weekend to thaw them out, throw some rub on them, and put them on the smoker.

Cauliflower steaks, veggie dogs, and Impossible burgers

It quit raining/snowing here finally so that’s good. Yesterday and today are beautiful. Low chance of rain Sunday and Monday but still high 60’s to low 70’s. Should be okay.

Dad?!

Son?!

Sis?!?

I'm sure his durability will improve immensely in the league. Should be much easier for him at the pro level than it was in college. That's not my standard, that's the standard of every team in the league. You don't hear too many GM's saying oh boohoo he was hurt. They just go to the next player.

I didn't see him taking plays off. I saw him 20-30 yards downfield making tackles a lot of times. If he can get his weed habits under control, I think he will be a great OLB in a 3-4 defense. He's probably not big enough for DE in a 4-3.

There's no doubt, RG played balls out most of the time. I'm probably nitpicking when I shouldn't be but, there were times when the effort was lacking imo. Maybe that is more the coaches fault for not getting him off the field enough or maybe it's a result of his injuries. We'll find out.

I think there is some truth to what he is saying. This off-season there was a lot of "I will be happy if we play well and have some close losses" I don't really like that. I would be happier if we played bad and won.

And your higher level of contempt and disdain for losing accomplishes exactly what? You're a more pure fan? You want the mid 90's back worse than the next guy? You're a better fan because it bothers you more? What is it that let's you shake your head and look down in disgust at these "other" fans?

I'd plus 1 that ^^

So if we have the 11th best recruiting class it won't make a difference? Get a clue CoachPT. This class is going to turn out just fine. You guys all demand top 10 classes and then don't follow it at all and just assume it's easy and everyone should be able to get a top 10 class into Lincoln. Have a little faith, heaven forbid we let the cycle come to completion before we judge it.

Well Matty previous history tells us top 40 classes don't cut it.

SO IT'S TOP 10 OR NOTHING MATTERS?!?!? GOOD GRACIOUS, CAN'T MAKE SOME OF YOU HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT.

I always thought it was called "look at me, I'm into fat, ugly chicks"

Must be chevy fans.

Honest to god decked it's almost always Ford of Dodge guys.

Real clever

Hukser gots me any politic views today?? Who should o vote for ?????

TOM OSBORNE!
