I finally made a decision on a smoker and got a Traeger. Cooked some chicken and turkey breast and corn on the cob today and it came out great for the first cook! That was relatively quick tho, can't wait to do some low and slow brisket

Are there any solar trickle chargers that are decent? As in legitimately weather proof? I don't really want to run an extension cord out to my jeep but I will if I have to I guess Was looking at this one here https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-S...5X6XR2HKEGHKXWK

Those are steel. Clean them up good with a green scrubby and that will be enough to scuff them for paint.

Evey video I've ever watched of his I skipped to the part where he drives it because watching him point out all the "quirks" is extremely annoying.

If you're looking at sport sedans don't forget the Lexus GS, probably the most reliable sport sedan you can buy and they are great fun cars. I'd have one now if I didn't live in the city or had a decent commute.

I could have afforded a new car, but after a bunch of test drives I didn't feel comfortable spending that kind of money just to have a new car. Nothing really blew me away to the point I said "I gotta have this" everything was more of a "meh" so I couldn't justify it with myself. You know when you have buyers remorse before you even buy something it's probably not a good idea Also what slidebite said

Poor bastard probably got a big ticket for it too That and what pissed me off even more was that it was a nice day so all the widows were open, I was downwind of it and my house was filled with smoke by the time i could get them all shut and my house stunk for days. Like where is that ok to do anywhere where you don't live in BFE? In the city it should be common sense you just don't do that.

the spyder posted:I can attest to Traeger easiness. I'm doing a 3-2-1 hour cook on a Costco special rack of ribs tomorrow. Super easy. As long as you clean it frequently. Nothings worse than it erroring mid cook and then trying to overfeed/bursting into flames. Happened 3 times so far... Yikes that doesn't sound good. I've already figured out to keep an eye on the pellets in the hopper, I thought there was plenty in there to finish the Butt, but instead of falling into the auger like they are supposed to they cling to the walls, forming a hole leaving the auger empty. Although it is a lot easier you still gotta keep an eye on it and can't just leave it unsupervised for 8 hours.

Anyone here have an OLED TV? Is burn in really that big of an issue? Kinda torn on weather to go all out for an OLED or just get a good LED instead. The OLED looks sooo good tho.

My only concern with static stuff is video games, I tend to play the same games with some static stuff in it, but I don't know if what they mean by static is more like somebody watching CNN 24/7 and the logo burning in or something.

^^^^ three coats of paint then three of clear should be fine, that usually works good for me. Unless you want it more glossy then more clear. The deal on the LG TV fell through lol. Third party seller through newegg apparently so Best Buy wouldn't finalize it. So I'm gonna get the Sony XBR instead gently caress it Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Aug 12, 2020 |

everdave posted:Thanks AA I’d rather it be less glossy so I will probably let them dry overnight, put a first pass of clear on them tomorrow and maybe some more in the afternoon. Should these be pretty safe to handle after all dry through tomorrow night after clear and into the next afternoon (Thursday)?

Vizio is coming out with a 65" OLED for $2k in a month, but I haven't been too happy with the Vizio LCD/LED whatever it is I have now. However every Sony I've ever owned has been great so I figured I'll just go that route again.

opengl128 posted:Give it a few months. Every year, the 55" LG OLED can be found for $1000 and the 65" for $1500. The 2019 65's were $1500 before they dried up and the 2020's are all you can reasonably find now. I would, but I kinda need one now since my Vizio is going in my newly renovated screened in porch, and I don't really wanna wait around for sales to happen. Of course as soon as I buy one tho, it will be on sale the next week, Murphy's law Raluek posted:what dont you like about it? last year i got a 65" vizio lcd, and i have had no problems beside what i believe to be an intermittent cable (so not the tv's fault). Burn in from video games lol. When it's bright there's gray blotches all over it. Maybe more my fault for leaving it on sometimes while hosting a game and taking a break, but I never thought once it could be an issue with LCD. Definitely won't be doing that with the new TV. That being said, I really don't game that much to begin with, maybe a few hours a week so I was pretty disappointed with that happening.

everdave posted:In disaster wheel news I don’t know what happened. I etch primes the wheels first but the paint has turned to a flaky powder of you rub it with your finger in places. Ruined. I never wanted metallic I just wanted gunmetal but this was in stock. I did everything right. Degreased, let dry. Etch prime dry. Coat and coat and coat of color and drying between colors. I’m going to have to pressure wash this mess off. I wanted these rims on tomorrow. Dang it. Didn't you say the paint was walmart brand or something? Could be just lovely quality paint. Also I'm over the cheap TVs that's what my current Vizio is, I can afford a nice one now so I'm gonna splurge on OLED. And from what I've seen OLEDs should last a lot longer than LCD/LED so it will be worth it in the long run.

rdb posted:Not really expecting an answer here but going to ask anyways. We have been thinking of a UTV for a while. I wanted something like a gator, kubota RTV, or polaris ranger northstar with a cab and air. Those are out of the budget at this point. So fo $10-15k, what would AI do? I read a lot of negativity about polaris reliability. Honda pioneer 1000 is what I want, but the only dealer selling them in my price range is Holzhauers and they are 2.5 hours away. I can get kawasaki within an hour. Deere is an option but the dealer is 9-5 weekdays only, closed weekends. Not good when it breaks. We had Kawasaki Mules back when we managed a campground and we beat the poo poo out of them, never had a problem, but honestly I'd rather have a short bed pickup unless you're gonna be in areas a truck can't go.
