I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Some wrongheaded people boil ribs to make them more tender despite this causing the meat to lose all of its natural juice and flavor.

As a dude that smokes meat all the time this makes me unreasonably upset.

Hearing this makes me glad I don't eat red meat, because the idea of people boiling that stuff for a BBQ sounds just so hilariously wrong to me.

I can never get grilled asparagus to come out good. Am I supposed to blanch before grilling??? What about skinning the stalks???

Bootcha what good food places would you recommend in and around Austin? I've been meaning to get around there since I moved down to TX

Franklin's is a pilgrimage.
Snow's can be hit or miss.
Schoeppe's is consistently good.
Stubbs is okay.
Black's is meh.
Stile's is surprisingly good.
County Line is good too.
Bert's has the biggest swing of good to meh.

Blanching is always good but if you don't want to take the time to do it I won't ever fault you for it. Sometimes you've just got an hour to get poo poo done. That said, they're always better blanched.

You can do your asparagus in a balsamic vinaigrette and it'll be pretty good too. My dad likes to marinate his in Italian dressing but I find it too greasy, same for olive oil. You don't need to skin the stalks but I would definitely shorten them if necessary (depends on how hard they are). Cut off any white bits.

Some people will skin the stalks on just one side to shorten cook time and make sure they're all thoroughly tender.

I haven't been paying much attention to the Roberts/Smart going-ons prior to reading the past two week's worth of posts in this thread over the course of the week, but I recall ages ago refunds not being possible for original game package (ie not added on jpegs) pledges. Has this changed and there is some official channel for it, or do you just e-mail customer support and hope for the best?

I suppose it would be better to put that money towards E:D/Horizons as it is a good, existing game.

Email support on the website ask for a refund, if you're in the EU ask them to please action it within 14 days for a laugh.

Prices and demand have crashed a lot, also paypal chargeback periods have been extended in certain places so if it all goes tits up that's a concern. It's also less effort just to send an email if you don't want to mess around on lovely reddit trying to avoid getting scammed.

That's a physical not the digital one, also that's the listed price he wanted, not necessarily what it sold for. There's no advantage to show the selling price.
