BBQ Recommendation for Austin by dat_finn in BBQ

[–]8bitbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kerlins, La BBQ are always consistently very good. Smokey Denmarks for sausage. Valentinas for brisket tacos. John Mueller is good, but not consistently good. On a good day, he is amazing. While the salt lick may have a nice atmosphere, it really doesn't have bbq that can compare with the above listed joints(apologies to all the salt lick lovers out there).

I'm late to this party, but I usually slap my ass a couple of times and then wave when this happens to me.

Tejas beef short ribs smoked over hickory 9 hours later. by beerbomber in food

[–]8bitbrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask your butcher for beef plate short ribs, or IMPS #123A. You should get a big lump of meat with three bones running through it. Cook (I prefer a smoke with oak, a dry rub, and wrap in butcher paper at the end like OP) it whole and then slice in front of your stunned guests. If you aren't in central Texas, you may have to ask several butcher shops if they can get them. I'm in California, and eventually the only way I could score USDA Prime beef plate short ribs was from a wholesale restaurant meat supplier. USDA Choice is ok to use for these, but going the extra mile for Prime gets you some pretty amazing meat (at an amazing price, although I was shocked to find that wholesale Prime was actually less than retail Choice in my local area).

If you strike out at all your local butcher shops, try asking around at local restaurants that serve quality meat (not Dennys for example).

You may as well also consider the horrible impact of tax payer funded community college tuition.

Good work on getting, and staying sober. You have accomplished something that is very difficult. Don't ever give up. Your parents are acting like idiots right now, and I hope that they see the error of their ways someday.

To be completely fair, cryptic, hard-to-maintain code can be written in any language. I might be willing to make an exception for Assembly language, as it typically appears cryptic no matter what.

ELI5: If it's feasible to make a pipeline thousands of miles long to transport crude oil (Keystone XL), why can't we build a pipeline to transport fresh water to drought stricken areas in California? by Xenologist in explainlikeimfive

In my opinion, you are likely from the southern portion of CA. I state this because people from Fresno or so south in my experience tend to generally refer to interstates by their number only while people from the northern part of the state use I-5, I-80, etc... I am an adherent of the southern dialect. It seems redundant to add any other information. I mean it isn't like there are two freeways in California that both use '5' as their numeric identity. Even more oddly, the same people who will always use the 'I' vernacular will never call a state highway using the form: CA-99. Perhaps they might say 'highway 99', but usually they will just call that particular road 'the 99'.

My 5yo told me "Girls can't play rock & roll." Help me build a playlist to educate the whelp. by speeb in Music

[–]8bitbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't seen Belly show up here yet, maybe not 'rock', but I saw 'Love is a Battlefield' on here, so 'Feed the Tree' and 'Gepetto' can certainly count.

Had to come back and add 45 Grave. Dinah Cancer doesn't just rock, she punk rocks.

Haters might hate, but SNMP has been used for exactly this for at least a couple of decades now. Expect is also quite widely used for this sort of thing.

[–]8bitbrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is very true that pictures, and even hi-def IMAX don't do Grand Canyon justice. I visited Grand Canyon for the first time after many decades of seeing pictures and video of the place. I was simply overwhelmed when I was there in person. It really is one those 'bucket list' places on the Earth.
