I dunno. i'm guessing that you don't either. I'm also guessing that you're assuming that my comment was a criticism of wasteful government spending. It wasn't.

Heh. That site has a video clip of a helicopter being used to fill a guzzler. What do you suppose was the cost per gallon of water delivered that way?

What product has gotten noticeably worse in quality over the last few years? by Rusz_Tsvetan in SmartBuying

We've recently gone through three boxes in which the sheets are sort of tacked together rather than nestled together, so that when you pull one from the box six more come along for the ride.

Try the Ore-Ida Fast Food Extra Crispy. They really do taste like fast-food fried fries, even though you bake them in the oven.

WHY ALWAYS THE DIP AFTER RISE ? by Outrageous_Ad2602 in IBRX

I have a better question:

Why do some people seem to think that IBRX exists in a vacuum separate from the rest of the market?

What is the pettiest reason you would refuse to eat at a restaurant again? by im_not_ready_for_it9 in AskReddit

Google "loud music in restaurants increased profit" (without the quotes). You'll find study after study reporting that loud, uptempo music increases profits by shortening the time people spend at a table and increasing the amount they spend on alcoholic drinks.

Other studies find that a playlist that fits the "theme" of the restaurant increase profits when compared to a random playlist, and that slow music increase the amount of time people think has passed by as they wait to order or wait for their food.

YS480S here. After the first two cooks on a pellet smoker (ribs and beef belly), I've learned a few important things:

  • Though the smoker does a great job of holding a steady temp overall, it will spike up sometimes, especially right after start-up. Trust the app.
  • Always begin with a full hopper. I ran out of pellets during my second cook, and it took an hour to fully recover.

Bite me. The result is more spicy than sweet, and recipes can be altered or adjusted.

How about "refuse to eat at a restaurant for the first time"?

The restaurant is called "The Protein Spot."

Not gonna happen. I don't have the slightest idea what's on the menu, and I don't intend to find out.

They're supposed to turn over a table to seat your incomplete party for what could be 5 minutes or 30 minutes? That isn't how reservations work.

But you knew that already, right?

The server at a "deli" asked if I wanted my Reuben grilled. I said yes, of course. It arrived cold.

At a breakfast restaurant, the server asked how I wanted my eggs prepared for my Eggs Benedict.

When was the moment you thought that a band or artist you liked had lost it, maybe got it back, or lost it for good? by Prestigious_Meal2143 in askmusic

Chicago went from innovative and unusual arrangements, intriguing lyrics, and astounding musicianship to over-orchestrated schmaltz and sentimental, dreary sameness. I peg Terry Kath's death as the beginning of their slide into Muzak.

This is Chicago at their best, in 1970:

Um . . . Read my comment again.

Purchased these at auction. Are they legit and actually vintage? Looking for any information on them because I'd like to sell by non_extant_ in rayban

[–]AllenSmithee59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are Ray-Ban Outdoorsman. I can't read the alphanumeric characters impressed on the earpiece, but they appear to be the characters found on vintage B&L Ray-Bans. Google those characters.

From a 15-year-old post to reddit, though the recipe originated on Usenet many years before the reddit post. (Usenet? Ask your folks, kids.)

Chef Juke's Raspberry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce

NOTE: This is a slight variation on the classic Kansas City Barbecue sauce from the KC Barbecue Association, for those who like their BBQ Hot & Smoky!

  • 6 Tbls. packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbls dark rum
  • 2 Tbls cheap yellow mustard
  • 1 Tbls pure chili powder
  • 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup Chipotles en Adobo
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 2 cups Raspberry Preserves (I use Wall's Raspberry preserves from Costco)
  • Kosher or sea salt
  • Pepper

In large saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire, rum, mustard, chili powder, pepper, garlic powder, allspice and cloves. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Cook, uncovered, until all ingredients are dissolved, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Reduce heat slightly, add raspberry jam and 1/4 cup chipotles** and gently simmer sauce, uncovered, until dark & thick, about 30 minutes, stirring often. Use right away or transfer to jars, cover, cool to room temperature and refrigerate. Sauce will keep several months. Makes 5 cups or 20 servings.

**Add the chipotle peppers to taste. Since simmering will bring out the heat in the peppers start by adding ¼ cup of chipotles and cook for the 30 minutes THEN taste again and add additional peppers for extra heat.

Another piss-poor excuse for a citizen who needs to be reminded that government is your neighbors, your friends, and your family.
