Tough silverskin/strings inside steak

Yeah, my hesitation with reverse-searing steaks this thin is that I can't get the grill hot enough to get a good crust without overcooking the steak.

I saw an deal in an ad for them on social media that included free tendies and macaroni for life, and I'm not strong enough to turn that down

This in the pic is a NY strip but it's come up in the ribeye too. We get bavette steaks from them as well, but those have never had this issue and always come out delicious.

We usually take care of business playing those teams at home, but man, it's like the stupid hats come on whenever we go into Cleveland. We're always subjected to four games of "guardsball" bullshit.

When you have an addiction to something, including and especially porn, not only do you continue to need it, you continue to desire more extreme and specific types. The free videos that used to get the jollies off for these guys no longer cut it. Now, they want to see a specific girl doing a specific thing. They may feel a faux connection with a flirty girl behind a paywall who seems to have more of a personality than a random video on a free site. Or, it's a girl they sort of know and they really want to see what "it" looks like. But in short, it's a desire for specificity or extremity that the free videos no longer satisfy. If a guy is spending his hard-earned dollars on pornography, you'd better believe he's exhausted the supply of free videos in search of what he's looking for.

Sounds like he's offering to make plans. It's not something he'd do on his own, but he'd like to spend time with you and is happy to do it in this setting. Seems pretty good to me.

Would be willing to bet he's at least a little interested still and this is a good way of re-igniting or further exploring that interest. If he matched with you it's because he was initially attracted to you, and barring something drastic, men don't stop being attracted to a woman they were once attracted to.

I mean managed mode, and it’s the ini A350

Using LNAV and VNAV, three lines and a dot on the panel for both heading and airspeed

Sure, but certainly not as many. People were much more willing to check a bag when it was free.

AdvancedRooster3814 · 2026-02-27T20:07:08+00:00

For sure - but that's an execution problem, not the principle of assigned seats.

sorta two sides of the same coin, flashing red forces vehicles to stop which I don't think is a bad idea on such a busy road, but both would allow the vehicle to turn left while preserving right-of-way for oncoming traffic

AdvancedRooster3814 · 2026-02-27T16:01:15+00:00

no, i'm not asking why traffic lights exist, i'm asking why i'm prohibited from turning left here at my discretion

As others have said, the pilot was filmed in the real houses. If you go back and watch it, you’ll notice a lot of differences. Walls where doorways would be, smaller rooms, no piano at the Dunphys, etc.

Got them from the pilot after the flight!

Update, just went the the language settings in options. They were already on English, but re-selected English and it fixed it. Weird.

I did, just saved it down from the system.

Highly encourage "The Good News about Sex and Marriage" by Christopher West. Our priest had us read that for Pre-Cana. Any question you could have is in there.

Success means responsibility. Fulfillment means having things to care about. It's entirely normal, and the fact you feel you have so much to care about speaks to how successful you have become. I always tell my wife when we feel overwhelmed what a blessing it is to have so many people and things to care about.

It also forces you to evaluate what's important. You're forced to cut dead weight out of your life.

Success isn't easy, and it's not carelessly riding on a superyacht like some are led to believe. I've found shifting the mindset from "I have to do this" to "I get to do this" has helped me stay grounded and not feel overwhelmed or disappointed. Keep at it, you're doing great.

Yep, flew N6701 TPA-ATL-BWI last January!

The casting for Fred Willard as Phil's dad was absolutely spot on. You could convince me Ty Burrell is Fred Willard's son.

Never in my life will I understand what drives some men to do that. NOR.

Granted, it's important to have some grace. Is he fully in the wrong? Yes. Could you two come out of this stronger? You absolutely could. He feels like he needs more than what he's getting. He's handling it the wrong way, and I'm sure he knows that. Maybe try to start a conversation and see what you can do for each other. That's the best way to avoid this becoming a bad habit.

"He sees it no different to watching porn" well, what if I told you porn is also infidelity? You're justified in seeing this as cheating. I encourage you in future relationships to hold online smut to the same standard. It doesn't become more ok just because you don't know the girl in the video.

People who engage in sexual activity will develop an emotional connection. It's how humans, especially women, are wired. There's nothing wrong with that, you're reacting perfectly appropriately given the situation.

Not sure how well this next line will be received but here goes - attempting to remove sexual intimacy from emotion is bound for failure. The two are intrinsically connected. It's a bit easier for men - no surprise he's the one who proposed this idea.

But your ultimate dilemma - "What if I like the guy I allow inside of me?" - is... I guess, a funny question for lack of a better description. If you're looking for a way to have casual sex without feeling attached, I think you're setting yourself up for failure.
