Putting meat in a slow cooker is a great pastime of American history and all but I declare that the pellet smoker is the crock pot of BBQ and is superior. I will be smoking ribs this weekend because it is the superbowl. I don't care about sports and will not even watch it but you can be certain I will be eating BBQ.

Yes but Smokey Yunnick also was technically "cheating" but we all worship at his feet so  The name "smokey" and the conversation of BBQ purely coincidentalAdiabatic posted:Ok I need to look into this thing. 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. Larrymer posted:Pellet ones are expensive, but sound very good as long as you keep the pellets loaded. 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.

My dad tested a bunch and ended up with a Walther. He was the best shot and most consistent with it. I’ll get one eventually when I stop buying other toys.

BraveUlysses posted:Made it in and out of Costco in under 20 min today, wasn't that bad imo. I too smoked ribs today for the super bowl. The ribs were delicious. No idea about the game though because I don’t care about football. As someone said before not nearly enough cars in the game to care. The Bathurst race had the most exciting finish out of all the sports this weekend.

Ferremit posted:Hrrrrmmm.... So since my graphics card upgrade fell through, ive decided to hold off until the next generation of stuff trots out from Nvidia... and since im doing a massive trip through Central Aus in July... Im kinda toying with buying a photography drone... I was going to reply to this when I posted earlier. I too am really hung up on the Mavic Air. It looks amazing and kind of fits the bill and reasons for why I don't fly my Inspire 1 that often. It is really what I want in a multirotor and extremely reasonably priced. I will say that it is definitely worth the premium over the Spark. Knowing firsthand how quickly DJI moves it does leave me wondering if I should hold on for the next generation model. I really want one though and my Birthday is this week...

gimpsuitjones posted:The DJI Mavic Air looks insanely good and I want one instead of my Spark even though it's 25% heavier more weight won't let it get thrown around in wind as much plus once you watch 3 axis stabilized going back to 2 axis is painful. My P2+H32D has sat for like four years since getting my I1. I don't even know what the scrap rate would be to sell it.

Congrats Elno on your spaysex launch. Sending a Tesla into space is actually pretty rad. Piling on the YouTube channels worth watching Petrolicious is beautifully shot over and over as well as Gears and Gasoline. kpopRC is one of the better RC YouTube channels out there. He has some pretty unique projects and is well edited. I avoid DeMuro. I have no idea what the draw is to that guy. A few of his videos are alright enough but mostly they are grating and I cannot finish them.

Fermented Tinal posted:And now you get to live there for decades. Applebees Appetizer posted:Got the same quote of 7k and did it myself for half that. Wasn't bad either, just time consuming is all but overall a relatively easy job. Also I was able to do it exactly the way I wanted it done as I was doing it, I hate paying somebody else to do something and having them gently caress it up, and after seeing a friend's fence get hosed up by the installer it convinced me to DIY it. That sounds cool and I would be inclined to give it a go, but we have a metric buttload of rocks and I frankly don't want to deal with it. So instead I will work hard at work so someone else can work hard on my house. that bread looks tasty. I have not had proper bread in months with the whole Celiac thing my wife has. It hasn't been all bad though, I have trimmed up a little bit with just not eating garbage carbs.

Tide posted:Need a stupidly easy and intuitive video editing software that can be used with mixed video types (GoPro, iPhone, some Chineseium GoPro knockoff). Any recommendations? The answer for me is iMovie on my Mac. A few years ago I found myself wanting more from videos after trying the GoPro studio and wanting to mix in other stuff. I also acquired a 4K capable DJI quad at that point and started trying my hand at some DSLR stuff. A 5k iMac was not the cheapest option but years later I have zero regrets. With some practice I can pop out nice little videos that are good enough for sharing on social media and some decent stuff for work real quick. iMovie is really easy and I’ll eventually step into the Adobe suite but my needs are easily met now. Buy one from the refurb store.

No I did not spend five thousand United States dollars on an iMac. I did spend something like $2200? I hope you were able to sleep last night. I really do enjoy the computer though.

NitroSpazzz posted:I think that's my problem. Everything I'd consider in my price range is boring and feels like a horrible appliance. Everything I've driven from the past decade that I like is expensive. I talked myself out of the volt pretty quickly and will probably just continue driving the TDI until it returns to the earth. I am only driving 5-6K miles personally in a year. The beater Mazda6 has about 140K miles and shows no signs of ever dying. The M3 will likely outlast oil reserves. There is no reason for me to be buying any other cars. The Wife's car has ~50K miles and she only drives 8-9K a year. As I see it I don't have any plans on buying another car for 10 years. I am glad I have my fun car! I told my wife my present to myself after paying off the house will be a 911 turbo. Speaking of your caddy my friends "Caddzilla" project is done. I have not gotten a ride in it but the thing is sweet! Remember this is an AWD conversion with the haldex system from a TT and is a TDI conversion as well work in progress shots    his ridiculous wheels that I love  finished  Maker Of Shoes posted:The person I sit next to is hosting a teleconference call for one of her projects and I'm not sure how I haven't noticed this in a year of sitting here but every 5th word out of her mouth is "um". Once that glass has shattered you can never not notice it. Condolences.

My wife and I don't care one bit for Valentine's Day. There are a lot of manufactured holidays but this has to be the most egregious money grab. We did get our kids some nice cards though and little treats. They were so excited to see them waiting on the counter for them this morning. That was much nicer. It was nearly nine years ago we got engaged. It is nice to have someone that equally doesn't care about stuff with you and cares about important stuff with you. She is a keeper. She didn't get me anything for my birthday earlier this week, but we talked about it well before and I wasn't even fussed because I didn't expect anything. For material things I have more than I could ever hope for. She made me a killer dinner and cookies because I don't like cake as much as a quality cookie and I got laid. That is what true love looks like y'all. Not some garbage chocolate in a box.

Today a friend/local customer brought by his 1/5 RC with a 65cc two stroke engine. We did a Facebook live video of it running. That thing is criminally fast and so loud  I might need one.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:Jesus christ that's bigger than some chainsaws. Oh it’s legit. Full billet crankcase with a reed valve. It has an Italian made cylinder that is ported, originally intended for scooters/pocket bike racing. That all feeds through a massive tuned pipe. It woke the dead. Typically RCs of this size are using Zenoah 30-32cc sized mills.

BraveUlysses posted:hmmm im thinking it's time to finally put the ps3 out to pasture and pick up a ps4pro or a switch. I've had the drat thing for 8+ years at this point. Switch is dope. Zelda is amazing. MarioKart is fun to play. I have not gotten into Odyssey because my kid wants to play it any time I get it out. Splatoon 2 is supposed to be fun but it is just a one player game so I haven't bothered getting it. It is a really impressive piece of hardware. For audiophiles I bought flush mount in wall speakers from Monoprice (their expensive carbon fiber ones) and a Sony 7.1 receiver. I have no doubt ruined my hearing over the years but with a nice sub this does the job filling my space. I have a projector and 110" screen. Watching blu-rays at home is 90% of the movie theater experience.

BraveUlysses posted:man that's all very tempting...i do have a 3 y/o and i'm sure she'd love to play it when she's a bit older and understands games a bit better My little dude is 3 1/2, his sister is 5 1/2. He is the one who loves to play. Mariokart is kickass because it has this neat feature for driving assist. There are two settings, one setting doesn't let the car go off the track (so no falling off rainbow road, etc) the other is that the car always moves forward whether or not the gas is pressed. I can be racing for real on my screen, the kids can be racing and having fun and no matter what they finish within ~20 seconds of me. It is truly excellent with the training aids for the kids.

Over Christmas he posted a video saying all the one takes had been shot minus a couple so for two months it’s just been backlogged vids. I under. Leave at the top of your game like a rockstar rather than leave because people stopped showing up.

InitialDave posted:Yes, use a bit of lubricant before sticking things in your VAG. I am juvenile so I naturally  'dWe have had one of the most mild winters in my lifetime so with the week starting off by dumping 10 inches of snow and being below freezing and then what appears to be another 3 or 4 inches today I can safely say I like the moderate winter. I put the summer car to bed in November but have driven a few times a week. Not driving it this week has kind of sucked. Regarding alcohol chat I can say with confidence that I have never had a single drop of alcohol my entire life. This was largely fueled from religious upbringing (which I still adhere to) but I really don't have any desire for it. If I was to drink booze it would probably be me trying to enhance the flavors of other foods like some noob sommelier.
