We’re camping at Orcas, got a room at that hotel at Paradise in Rainier, and got season tickets to West Seattle FC. Also looking forward to my Dub Sea Fish Sticks.

Zoo concert series looked okay. Hoping the music festivals kill it this year.

Back ribs (lemmy.world)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by specseaweed@lemmy.world to c/foodporn@lemmy.world

Cherry smoke. 4 hours at 225, then wrapped in paper and back on for another hour at 275. I moved to Seattle a couple years ago and have been doing tons of briskets and boudin for the Seattle people that don’t know great bbq, but I was missing a nice rib. Cut em up and served em but kept the chonky ends for myself. Left the silverskin on and it came off crackly and delicious.

Damn ribs are good.

At will is a bullshit shield used to deflect legitimate labor issues. You need to talk to a lawyer like now.

These people sound like exact copies of the people saying voting in 2000 didn't matter, and that turned out to be the most politically consequential of my lifetime. Gore was imperfect as they all are, but holy fuck did Dubya fuck up literally everything he touched.

Among many, many, many things, Dubya started forever wars killing untold hundreds of thousands of people. He accelerated oil and gas production, absolutely setting the Climate Change world on a pace for disaster. He seated Alito, unquestionably the biggest monster currently on the Supreme Court. And he passed a monster tax cut for the rich that set us on this path of unrestrained deficit spending.

And that's just the headlines. Remember when he tried to put his personal lawyer on the Supreme Court? lol

Gen X already tried this 25 years ago and it fucked the world up so badly that we need to be saved by the future generations. Imagine not learning that lesson and doing it again.

Can’t help but feel like this is the market that exists for anything Pokémon adjacent because Pokémon has sucked ass for like a decade.

FreshRSS is great. Container is easy to run.

Prime rib (lemmy.world)

My first. 10 lbs, bone in. Cooked at 175 for 6 hours until temp hit 128. Out of the oven for a rest with a light foil tent for 45 mins. Internal temp rose to 133.5 during the rest. Back in to oven on air fryer at 500 degrees for 6 mins. Exterior was blistered and delicious. Medium rare and just right. Served with homemade chimmichurri and horseradish sauces. Both were a hit.

Hope he’s alright. Probably time to start that post playing coaching career.

I do. I’m an old progressive and he’s been the most progressive president in my lifetime outside of Carter, and honestly he’s probably been more progressive than Carter.

I don’t get the ambivalence about Biden at all from anyone who’s not a hard core Republican.

United vs. Gala was a hilarious disaster of a game punctuated with some great moments.

I left Sevilla PSV when it was 2-0 in the 60th. Apparently that was one of the worst decisions I've made in a good long time. How about Pepi with the killer header to win it?

Arsenal stomped Lens.

Inter vs. Benfica was amazing.

That Athletico goal was some bullshit, but it looked pretty cool.

What did I miss?

This is a very exciting time. I've been a union guy for 25 years and I will go to my grave not understanding the fierce resistance to unions by my X gen and the boomers. When they would say unions were bad, I'd say let's make ours amazing and... they just refused.

I never thought I would see the resurgence of American labor unions. This is an absolute joy to see.

I have a Sanco2 heat pump water heater. The heat pump is located outside the house, with the tank in the basement (so no noise!). It is so absurdly efficient that I thought I was measuring the power draw wrong. Its expensive up front, but a big fat govt tax credit sure helped and the monthly power cost is about the same as my coffee maker.

The tank inside is 83 gallons. I can run the dishwasher, two showers, and anything else I can imagine and it handles it like a champ. The heat pump heats the water so fast that it refills it in minutes, not hours.

And since there's no element or anything in the tank, there's virtually nothing to break or fix in it. Nothing to rust, no joints to go bad. The tank is constructed solely for water in and out via pump and that's it. It looks like a military designed tank because there's no reason not to fortify it to last forever. So they did.

Between that and my induction range and heat pump AC/furnance, we turned off our natural gas connection. I love love love all of them.

If you care about this issue, you can go and be a part of the solution. Go to your state's Secretary of State website and sign up to help.

I did it and it was super easy and a little boring.

This whole thing depends on normal ass people like you doing it. Give it a shot.

We should probably internalize that standing isn't a thing anymore, along with precedent. On a positive note, it'll mean quickly overturning when nutters lose the majority.

Which is gonna be a while.

Because its terrifying to drop $50k on a car whose future is tied to someone who is so obviously unhinged. Many companies are led by weirdos, but its a real problem when you don't know if your car is going to work right based on the whims of said weirdo.

Also, Musk has absolutely lied his ass off for years about the capability of the car.

I owned a 2018 Model 3 LR and it was nothing but trouble. I couldn't even use the cruise control because it would randomly smash the brakes on the freeway, even when there were no other cars around. My door panel would catch on the other panels when it opened, causing a decent sized dent. The trunk leaked. They would do updates that moved everything around and suddenly you can't find the screen that opened the glove box. But it did make fart sounds hurr durr.

No thanks.

Digg didn't collapse overnight. Neither did MySpace. Or Fark. It was little by little then all at once.
