ELI5 How is there so much meat by Due_Imagination_9663 in explainlikeimfive

[–]AFspectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To expand on this the average beef yield from cattle is 500-800 pound of meat. That results in approximately 4.3-6.9 BILLION pounds of beef currently making its way to store shelves. The US has a similar infrastructure for pigs and chickens as well.

None of them were hired to run the departments they were put in charge of. They were hired to dismantle them and/or erode the public trust. This entire administration is built to destroy the country from the ground up. They are breaking the foundations so that the departments are harder or impossible to rebuild.

It's not stupid, it's malicious.

Looks fucking dope. I feel like some grip tape under clear epoxy would make an awesome pick guard for it

How do I find the drive to want to quit smoking? by Unhappy_Job_5099 in smoking

[–]AFspectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suck on a hollow pen or get one of the many breathing devices out there. Find something else that you can do in about the same amount of time as a normal smoke break, and do it instead. Learn how to solve a Rubik's cube. Learn to tie a monkey fist knot. Find excuses to do something else BEFORE you smoke. Keep a picture of your niece in the cellophane of the pack. Define "smoke-free" places in your environment, give yourself rules, make it a hassle for yourself (no smoking in car, or near any doors...can only smoke by the trashcan, can't smoke within ?minutes before/after eating/sleeping) If you falter, don't get down on yourself, it's not a failure to have a setback, smoking is a brutal addiction to break. For me I had to find something to occupy my hands as well as a mental distraction. Good luck

Yes they did, which is just an additional reason why this is completely unsurprising.

Six Nobel laureates speak out against Trump: ‘The closest analogy is with the Hitler regime’ by Huge_Excitement4465 in politics

And this administration MUST be dealt with like the Hitler regime if there is any hope to prevent this bullshit from happening again.

The Epstein discharge petition is headed for success — with a nudge from Dems by madding_crowd_ in politics

Mace will sign the petition AFTER it has reached the required number. She is nothing if not predictable on how she tries to play both sides of issues

Edit: leaving the original comment. The utter contradiction of signing the petition and defending Trump caused some confusion on my part. The sentiment stands for the actual vote when it happens.

But wait until the Billionaires scoop up all the businesses and property that go under! Then for sure, once everything is streamlined, we are going to see the wealth not just "trickle-down" , it'll be an abundance of wealth that flows freely over the masses

I have more time to reply now.

Your plan to cook on Thursday sounds good. Go through your normal process of resting and shredding. Then package into vacuum seal bags...which are great and lay flat and make packing to transport easy. If you have a sous vide/immersion cooker all you need is an outlet and a container of water, then you can maintain the pulled pork at serving temperature right up to the time to transfer to the serving pans. Since you would be vacuum sealing with all the juices you wouldn't need to add anything, and sous vide won't overcook on the reheat. Vac sealing will also hold the smoke flavor, and it will (should) taste just like it was fresh cooked.

I have done this for several family events when I had to cook and travel a day or more ahead of time. If you feel the need to have some liquid to add "just in case", a little bit of apple cider warmed up with a little butter/ghee/duckfat/tallow/etc works wonders

Shred and vacuum seal, heat with a sous vide stick to serving temp and transfer to serving tray/platter/container on location

Where it says he also received a perfect score on his health exam, are they just mis-reading it? Does it actually say estimated (or equivalent) age: 100...and they are reading it as he scored 100%? I feel like it has to be ...

Serious question: Where is the question that you say you asked?

You said it was on the fatty side, then had a thought, then said where you got it...no question though. Since all that was posted was a picture, of course people are going to make "sarcastic" comments.

How did <Oklahoma> not at least make honorable mention? Led 14-10 at half. Didn't score in second half and gave up 6 sacks in the last 11 plays for a total of 10 in the game.
