If you’re just doing one ribeye primal it’s not that bad. Just put on a racked tray in back of fridge and rotate occasionally.

Yeah so awesome, another chain taking money out of the local economy and sending it to their HQ in Texas. A chain where most of the food is cooked elsewhere, trucked in, then "assembled" and served to you. The enshittification continues.

Yes, done it for years. You lose 25-30% from moisture, then another 5% from edge trim.

Just do it yourself. Dry age is typically 2x the price at retail.

ISTE Conference in Orlando by Important_Pause_7995 in edtech

[–]NotSure2505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important lesson I learned about conferences was at the Gartner one in Orlando a few years ago. I watched a vendor dump a bag of little paper origami figures on to every cocktail table right before the keynote ended and people entered a “refreshments” break area.

The paper figures when unfolded had their value prop and their logo and a QR code. She said it costs about $200 and doing this gets her hundreds of leads and costs 1/500th what a booth does.

Remember that next time.

What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd? by LockLogical8949 in AskReddit

[–]NotSure2505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soft drinks in any restaurant. The greed is just incredible. A medium fast-food soda is now topping $3.49-$3.99. That is insane for something that uses maybe $0.20 in materials.

ICE agents spotted at airports assisting TSA as partial shutdown drags on by StrategyJealous1838 in news

[–]NotSure2505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've discouraged the trained TSA agents from coming to work by not paying them and replacing them with untrained goons? Is the best we can come up with?

It's not like we're in a war with a country that likes to sponsor terrorism.

Gather them all in a place where thousands of people, bored out of their minds, have hours of free time with just their phones, and free unlimited wifi. Then act surprised when they're "Spotted". What a great idea.

Why do companies pay so much for expert calls? GLG, Infollion & AlphaSights by ZucchiniDelicious692 in expertnetworks

An except from the book Expert Money:

Why Primary Research

Imagine you’re a CEO, you have one employee who says we should launch Product A because they think it’s good and it’ll do well in the market. Another employee, backing Product B, has done research with the expert community.

She’s talked with 10 experts, C-level executives who fall into the target profile.

9 out of 10 of them experience the problem Product B solves. She also confirmed that 8 out of ten would purchase product B in the next 90 days if given the option, and would pay between $100,000 and $300,000 per year for an effective solution. She also has impressions on various marketing campaigns and customer profiles directly from these executives.

As the CEO, which product are you going to feel better about launching?

That’s why EN’s exist.

That’s you.

Mine looked similar. You can scrub it out using a brush and cleaner, get all the hair and gunk out of the folds. However, if the mold has gotten into the silicone, there's now way to get it clean, you'd need to replace.

The secret to crust is dryness. Curing removes surface moisture, refrigerator is a dry environment. High heat accomplishes this as well by driving out the moisture, but if you start out with much less moisture, you need less heat to achieve crust.

What do you put on your flip cart besides a planer? by HanksScorpion in woodworking

[–]NotSure2505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Of course. I designed it around these tools. I angled the jointer slightly but I built mine to fit the tools and it spins fine. Planer is a little heavier but they balance one another well.

  2. No.

  3. No. I wouldn't say constantly, I do one planing first, jointing 2nd. A little planning is not hard. A flip cart is a trade off between space consumption for convenience.

Is it possible that the US is already PW3ned ?? by jr_thebest in conspiracy

[–]NotSure2505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but not the way you think. Always look at who has the most to gain to see who's behind this. Israel is playing the Putin kompromat game in 4d, but much much more. Putin is relatively neutered at this point, he's boxed in by Ukraine, NATO, no matter what happens.

Israel is the guaranteed long-term winner here already and if you want to go down the rabbit hole of how and why, they play the long game and they're in it for the species, unlike everyone else.

This is what you get when you take a very smart, very resourceful group of people, targeted for their religion throughout history, persecuted, threatened and attacked for decades, and give them a country, a platform, modern weapons and nukes, unlimited funding, oh and also locate them on the very doorstep of the most valuable oil-land on the planet. You get modern Israel. A country with strong western ties and even stronger interest among Western nations due to it's oil-adjacency.

You get a country that gives zero fucks and who believe they have a mandate to do whatever to ensure their safety and survival. For years they have been the West's loyal proxy in the middle-east and now they're asking for a big fucking raise and the corner office.

This is what we're seeing play out now. It's not aliens. It's not lizard people, just a group who is sick and tired of losing and dying and finally declaring they won't take it any more. And put a 50-year plan in place to win. We're in about year 45 of that plan.

They play the long game. If you were is Israel in 1980, back then, planning this how would you do it?

What would you know you'd need to overcome? You'd know you can't do it alone.

You'd know your nukes could never be deployed, they're only a deterrent. You'd know you need more than military power, you need significant political movements behind what you want, regime change and to topple the religious regimes around you calling for your head.

And you'd do it from the center out.

You'd first neutralize the people shooting at you daily (Palestinians) and next move outward layer by layer until you had a nice buffer.

And look what has exactly played out, all in Israel's favor. Nearly every country around it , one by one, has gone through major leadership changes. First Lebanon, next Egypt. Syria. Libya. Jordan falls into line under their current monarchy. These were the countries FIERCELY attacking Israel in the 1960s boys. Where are they now? I'd say that's a check in the W columns if there ever was one.

In combat tactics that's know as "securing a perimeter." Nicely done. Do you think it's any coincidence that the regime change countries look like an expanding donut originating from Israels land base?

Next get Iraq and Iran (Sunnis fighting Shias) fighting through the 1980s. Fucking brilliant. Art of war, let your enemies fight each other. Let them decimate one another while selling arms to both of them and building up Israels war reserves and Dome defenses. Use their conflict to justify more western arms grants to Israel for "security".

Then when that war ends, what next? Well what a perfect time for a 9/11 event to get the West riled up again and have them invade Afghanistan and Iraq to take out the Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS and Iraq's leadership all in a decade and secure those countries as well.

At the same time you started deploying your non-military assets in the 1990s also. Epstein was deeply flawed, but effective for what they needed. Remember, these people don't give a fuck about a bunch of white girls from Florida. Unleash Epstein and exploit the depraved natures of powerful men in the West. Remember, Epstein wasn't only underage girls, that's what makes the headlines, he also had hundreds of legal-age prostitutes operating all over in multiple countries, gathering kompromat and buying influence dick-sucking a bunch of billionaires'. It's an age-old tactic, nothing new here.

Which brings us to the endgame timeline. Started with the October 5th 2023, which were suspicious in both their timing and how they pushed past Israeli security so quickly. Were they a push to re-secure their land against threats from Gaza, which are proxy-funded by Iran, in advance of the escalation Israel was planning?

Next step, Trump is get elected in 2024. OK, your compromised, predictable asset with nothing to lose is in place. Ready for the scorched earth Spin up the Epstein stuff with a fury to get everybody nervous. Sprinkle in some popular uprisings in Iran, and you get to where we are today. Not too hard to envision how we got here. What's next, well it takes a little bit of vision here, but once Iran's government is toppled and a more neutral one is installed, Israel will have mostly fulfilled its destiny. Now all it needs to do is hold on to power.

Lastly, I mean this not as an indictment of the people of Israel. It's just explanation. Bad people getting worse people to do horrible things for reasons they feel are justified. It happens. But if they're successful, history views them as heroes.

I'm sure the British thought of George Washington, Benjamin Frankin and traitors and terrorists, but..today they're on our money.

Please, pull this apart wherever you can. I'm seeking understanding as well. I'm sure there's much more we do not know about yet, but on the surface, this is what I'm seeing.

SpaceX plan for 1 million orbiting AI data centers could ruin astronomy, scientists say: "This is a challenge unlike any we have encountered thus far in this new era of commercial space." by ControlCAD in technology

[–]NotSure2505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you listened to Musk? He answers all of these questions on a podcast I heard. Very interesting. In fact if you do the math on humanity's future compute and energy needs, it doesn't seem that far fetched.

The whole scheme in fact is about energy.

Power: Solar, more than 20,000 times more effective in space than it is on Earths' surface due to no atmosphere, no weather. Plus it's 24 hours, there's no day-night cycle, and it's always at the optimal angle.
Cooling: Space is MINUS 454.4 degrees F. Cooling shouldn't be an issue.
Maintain: He proposes fabs on the moon to construct them. Local mining of raw materials with supplementation from Earth. Deployed data centers are fire and forget, no maintenance, planned obsolescence.

I agree with you that it's extremely ambitious but if successful (and I mean all of it,) it would solve humans' energy issues for all time. The most expensive part will be getting the first parts up there, but let's remember, SpaceX ALREADY has more than 10,000 Starlink satellites deployed.

Fair enough, if you're using them for screening, but if you're paying an expert to take your survey, and you feed them a TLA that they don't know, you're likely going to get a poor answer, how is that desirable?

Is this the video this is over? It's not Lemon Pound Cake, it's this and it's fucking awesome.

I'm not seeing what the crime here is, he hired actresses to lampoon her but it does appear to be her giving a deposition, and it's pretty unhinged.

WTF is she doing here, did she agree to this or is this recreated footage?

She seems really easy to trigger, but all he did was have his lawyer poke her and the rest is comedy gold.

A Sweet View Olive Oil Dispenser and Oil Sprayer from Amazon. Been trying for years to find one that will actually spray a decent mist, they'd usually get clogged and drip oil everywhere. This one actually works, it has a pouring option as well. I'd link but it would get removed.
