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.

Style points. 

Of course not baby

@teachercd was that right after the game or about an hour later? I wouldn't be opposed to having a beer and waiting 1-1.5 hours before trying to get out. But I don't want to spend an hour trying to get out.

Left with about 5 minutes to go in the USA game and had zero issues getting out. If you stay the whole game it's going to suck. There are 3 or 4 garages all trying to empty into the same street.have a beer in the railyard for an hour or so then head out.

@JJ HuskerIt was pretty close to right after the game. 

Pffft, you’ll be sh#tfaced on O street before I even get started  I’ve never been to a night game at Memorial stadium. I’d like to be at least semi sober when the game begins.

Can we all just stand around and yell nasty slurs at eachother?  That way there's a sliver of Offense in Lincoln that day.

@Redux yes we can do that, but only for one half.

PiHole FTW

There used to be a link at the bottom of the main page that allowed you to switch back and forth from mobile to desk top version.  Now it's gone.

Using safari.  

@BigRedBuster I think it disappeared with the last major board update prior to the purchase.

15 posts on something like the gameday posts makes it damn near impossible to follow now.  You post and then bam, a whole new page and a second page as you're trying to catch up, easier to just skip pages and go to the end.  I finally got to the point I just said screw it i will just miss a bunch of posts, im not fighting with it anymore.

@JJ Husker I agree the 15 posts/page is super annoying.  As for the new poster influx, I think that seems to be the case every football season.  A flood of new posters and without fail 99% of them are troll accounts/super negative.  Definitely a 1-2 whammy out of the chute and if you (not you specifically 'you' in general) were annoyed over the posts/page thing, loading a new page and seeing it full of of new posters spouting garbage would be aggravating.  I've found that staying away on gamedays works well for me as the game threads are hellscapes of negativity and there is far too much wild overreaction.  I'll pop back in on the 'What did we learn' thread and during the week it calms down.

Will be bummed to see you go if you decide to make that step.

@Xmas32 that's pretty much it exactly. Although I learned to stay away from the game threads a long time ago. I'll pop in there from time to time just to see what asinine takes are being pushed. But it's definitely just for entertainment purposes and nothing I take too seriously. The typical influx of negative posters is never welcome but coupled with the 15 post thing it is really rubbing me the wrong way. Of course having my Kool-Aid bubble burst in game 1 isn't helping either.

Yep, we've officially got this site for the foreseeable future.

I don't care for it...even though it is exactly the same.

Wait...they did f#&% things up.  It says that @JJ Husker is male on his profile.

@teachercd Hey, I can identify how I choose, unlike you who has been banned from women’s restrooms in 6 states and the District of Columbia.

I will say I just perused the Huskermax site and the ads did not appear overwhelming and I experienced no pop ups. Sure they’re there but they were fixed in place so I could tune them out. Maybe it will be tolerable.

@JJ Husker, the pop ups are very sporadic, can not exist for months. I’m pretty sure they’re unintentional. See the cafe forum there for some examples of problems people have ran into.

@JJ Husker my only qualm with digital advertising is what kind of impact it has on site performance and load times. Certain types of digital ads (particularly one kind known as programmatic in the industry) can cause sites to take anywhere from 5-15 seconds longer to load. Google started penalizing sites that utilized pop ups within the last couple of years, but that hasn't stopped them from being used, of course.

Overall, digital ads have never really bothered me. I know I'm going to be served them, so if I'm going to be served them, they might as well be targeted to my interests. Part of this may be because I'm almost 30 and digital ads have just been a part of most of my life practically. Advertising is also how most online content publishers subsidize themselves. Look at The Athletic. They require a subscription and don't serve any ads, but they also have YET to turn a profit, and it's still unclear if they will. People want their cake and they want to it eat it, too.

I agree.  Definitely worth it.

An incredible speech!

Kill got them to a better place, Fleck could get them over the hump.  Not world beaters by any means. 

@The Dude still think that Kill was better than Fleck, but Fleck's got the support and new facilities to recruit for the program better (to where it compensates for his lack of coaching acumen). 

Too bad Kill couldn't have stayed healthy long enough to bring his vision to fruition. 

Paul is six different kinds of awesome.

@knapplc I remember that thread when his book was coming out. I started reading at that time but it became torturous reading/knowing what made the program great yet here we were after Callahan, in the final days of Pelini and then mediocre Mike. I just couldn't take reading it anymore at that time (thus my previous name Comfortably Numb). I had forgotten about it but luckily I stumbled across it in my Kindle books a few nights ago and now that I know things are headed back in that direction with the program I can once again read those stories and accounts and be happy about it rather than discouraged.

I'm sad to say I have both volumes, trade paperback, and I've never read them. Paul put in a lot of work to produce them. I need to dive in.

Any local places in Omaha that are offering cheap deals that you know of?  I'm always down for a delicious chili dog!

Oh damn.  This is the real Christmas in July.  #blessed

Super hot day. Plunger. Vaseline.

Did not work. But it was funny while we tried it because... of reasons.  

EDIT - I drive a hail-damaged sedan. It's a funny story how I got it, but it's not the car I intended to get, let's just say that. It's not what I want, but for a home-to-work/errands car, it's great. I got it much cheaper than I expected, and I barely notice the hail dents.

Was driving a rental Durango up I-25 near Colorado Springs and had the same thing happen. Being a rental, and my friends name being on the agreement I chose to drive on as everyone parked under overpasses. I thought the windshield was going to crack, but when we stopped there wasn't a dent to be found anywhere!

Dry ice

Came close to getting some wifi surveillance cameras for keeping an eye on what people are doing at work but figured it would just piss off the employees and me. Did pick up a new pair of headphones.

Fire Stick and Echo for $7.50

If you ask my wife, she found "a ton".....

Put good tequila in glass. Sip. Repeat.

Here's what I came up with and they were pretty good.

6 oz Tequila

2 oz Triple Sec

4 oz Frozen Limeade Concentrate

8 oz Frozen Sliced Strawberries

Put all that in blender then fill with ice.

Also made some with Frozen blueberries. Had to add some Agave Nectar (2-3 TBS) to the blueberry because they weren't sweet enough.

Wanted to make some plain lime ones (or coconut) and then layer them red, white & blue but it was a bit too hot out and I knew they wouldn't layer well without slightly freezing them first and I wasn't that ambitious.

I did get a bottle of Cabo Wabo Anejo. Liked it a lot plain....very smooth. And no, I didn't waste it on the frozen margs.

Over baby!

Well I'm on the overs. I think the floor is 9 wins. If I told you what I think the ceiling is, you may want to have me drug tested.

Over. I think its a no-brainer.
