lol please. first of all, I've only had 2 pints, so another 4 isn't gonna do poo poo.
secondly, I have meat discipline most men can only dream of achieving.

but I really do love the meat sweats. I'll definitely be slicing off a half pound and cracking a runny poached egg over it for breakfast.
If I wake up late then I'll toss it on bread and eat it in the car.

e: yeah I'm getting into the rest of the beer. I've been good all week and my boss is being a loving nitwit. Also we have to pack up our entire office and storage room tomorrow in preparation for the move so it's not like I need sleep anyway.

Lets take a poll. I've got smoked brisket in the oven... should I just go ahead and crack another half gallon of beer and stay up all night staring into the meaty abyss or actually get some sleep and just check on it in 7 hours?

I've done several briskets and pork shoulders overnight in the smoker. I keep the temp readout on my bedside (with an alarm for over temp and oven over temp), and all was fine. I just top up the water before bed. Only once did I run out of propane but that's my own fault.

It's also a total pain in the rear end because if you get too far from it then it disconnects and wipes all the graph data. It breaks my heart when I've managed to keep it connected and have about 8 hours worth of graph data and a timer set and all that only to have it just disappear because I went to plug my phone into the charger.

Pellet ones are expensive, but sound very good as long as you keep the pellets loaded.

If I could do it again, I'd just get a 40" MES and the amazen pellet tube thing. It's pretty much cheating as well.

My attitude is that if they believe doing a thing actually will go over better with their intended audience and attract more people, it's reasonable for them to do the thing. If they're doing it to placate whingey fun police who wouldn't watch anyway, gently caress that.

I don't watch F1 because I find it boring. Girls in spandex, or a lack thereof, doesn't change that.

Here let me help you: https://www.costco.com/traeger-schedule.html Go buy one of these at Costco when they are on sale. I just got the little one that was $350. In a year and a half I have burned more than 300 pounds worth of pellets through it and have literally fed hundreds of families and friends between family gatherings and neighborhood gatherings.

I would do the Traeger all over again. I've used it enough that I know what kind of timing I need to plan for with given kinds of meats and pellets that I am using. Even with my little grill a full hopper of hickory pellets can go between 5-6 hours without needing a top up. Apple wood goes a little quicker but it is easy at this point. The results are bang on every single time.

I don't think people actually do, but a certain sector of people are now running with this news and trying to shout "HAHAHA LOOK AT YOU SNOWFLAKES ALL OFFENDED" because they're brain deficient.

Personally I don't give a gently caress about them, but since they add nothing to the sport I'm not exactly sad they're going either.

Probably same attitude, but a different flavour of what causes them to start sticking their nose in.

But there's a definite issue, what with our online world nowadays, that you can get together a big old posse of righteous indignation and present a company with a million people all saying "we don't like what you're doing, and you should stop". Which is great in its own way, it's pretty much direct democracy in action, and that kind of feedback loop really helps keep companies and organisations honest.

Trouble is, I think it's a bit of a poo poo thing to do if it's about something you don't actually have an interest in, you just saw it in the paper or whatever and felt like having a go. If that's what's happening with F1, people who don't actually care about the sport but saw a story about them considering ditching the grid girls and decided to stick their oar in, then I don't agree with it. I wouldn't agree with a bunch of people who aren't F1 fans saying they should keep them, either. It's not a sport that bothers me, so I don't really have an opinion on it, other than they should make sure they're making the decision based on the people they're meant to be listening to, their actual and potential customer base.

Of course it has something to do with F1. The entire circus has been about whether they should have them at F1 races. People who don't watch F1 and aren't going to can have whatever opinion they like, but it's the people do and would whose opinion should be listened to. If they don't want them back, then fair enough. If they do, then fair enough. What's it to anyone else?
