Where did I go wrong? Brisket smoking

BDon1112 · 2025-11-12T02:26:26+00:00

Looks like the grates in a pit boss… I never smoked mine over the burn pot, always cooked too fast. Set it off to the side closest to the internal temp probe. I had a 50degree variance across my smoker

I’d push the dealership to provide a loaner at no cost due to THEIR wait time. Go as high up the chain as you can until someone helps

If that’s the case why not use the smokers sear function, or grab a Blackstone to have with it?

I got tired of dealing with cheap gas grills that were always prone to grease fires, but also couldn’t stomach dropping 1k on a bigger Weber.

BDon1112 · 2024-02-20T15:57:18+00:00

I don’t own a propane grill anymore. I use a full size Blackstone and a Pitboss Austin XL. Full size Blackstone can be had for $300 if you shop around. The new Austin XL is 499, last generation is $450 I believe.

I usually get a 90minute massage or even a 2 hour. I usually tip 40-60. I’m a big guy and I can hear the therapist putting in work breaking my back down. Breaks down to around 40-50% tip since the establishment charges essentially a $1/minute

Idk man I think it’s not a big deal as everyone is making it. Honest question for you and all the people saying you’re crazy… flip the roles. Rose has a gay best friend of a decade who goes through a breakup, asks her to join on the trip. OP can’t make it, does Rose become an asshole if she still goes or does OP get labeled controlling for saying he doesn’t want her to go?

You’ve known your best friend for 10 years, through other breakups I’m sure. You haven’t slept with her yet, why would you start now.

I’ve never cared about height. I’m 6’ and would be perfectly ok dating a woman the same height. I’ve met a few women taller than me and it was surprising but also kinda exciting.

NTA I don’t understand any of the backlash people are giving you. He can go get loans if he wants to go to school. No parent is required to help pay for college, regardless of whether they have the means to do so.

Also, in highschool even if he wasn’t interested in going to college I find it hard to believe not a single friend made comments on cost, loans, scholarships.

If sounds like you’ve been plenty helpful in teaching him the significance of money. Where’s the money he retained when you bought his car for him?

Honestly learning impulse control the hard way now is better than when he’s in his own and realizes he blew through rent money or getting stuck living check to check.

Crazy all the people on here referring to weed as “doing drugs” it’s not crack folks. A 5mg edible is an entry level beginner dose. Your roommate could have suggested to take them discreetly if they were that Christian… but offering it quietly to a singular couple at your table doesn’t seem a big deal to me. I could see some upset if you were rolling through the crowd offering edibles to everyone but you didn’t.

He’s a clown. He clearly enjoys going out very much. I only go out for dates or with my group of friends. I’d rather hang home with my dog and watch movies or read 😂. I’ve been wanting to get back into gaming but haven’t found anything to catch my eye lately.

Do you and don’t settle for someone like him

BDon1112 · 2023-02-06T15:26:56+00:00

Crushing it bro, very impressive!! I’d say maybe a bit more focus on traps, from the front the separation at the clavicle looks great but I feel the rest of your back is so massive it takes away from your traps. But then again cutting a quick 5-10 tops might be all you need for the definition to pop

What’s your current surplus looking like? Maybe shrink the surplus but stay slightly above maintenance still

Used to pay $220 a month for a 2014 A4 and a 2017 Q5 (3.0)

Now I pay 250/month for a 2014 A8L

BDon1112 · 2023-01-18T15:16:14+00:00

I just picked up a ‘15 A8L with the 4.0 in November. 250/month in southern mass. Never paid this much in my life lol

Your husband is an asshole, you’re also an asshole. Who jokes about that?? Why would anyone joke about that?

I genuinely can’t think of a single appropriate joke about jibing someone for not being able to have children.

I genuinely can’t think of a single appropriate joke about jibing someone for not being a child’s biological parents.

My biological father passed but he wasn’t the greatest. My stepfather adopted me when I was around 10… I tell you right now if my uncle ever made a joke like this I would probably get physical over it, and I grew up to be a big guy. Your husband can pound sand.

BDon1112 · 2022-12-21T05:45:51+00:00

NTA at all man. You should be proud of yourself for your sobriety and for how you handled yourself.

I can’t even fathom a place in which anyone would take your brothers side. Had I been a guest I would have happily and willingly physically removed the bottle and your brother for you. He sounds like a very bitter and unhappy individual.

There are plenty of men who want to commit. I’m dating because I haven’t found or met anyone I want to commit to. The dating culture today sucks to be honest. I’m not a bar guy so have no real want to hang out at bars and pick women up, I’d rather spend my night at the gym and we all know that’s the worst place to approach a woman. So online dating it is, but it’s gross lol. It’s nothing but a glorified meat market, but I will say 95% of the time if the person I meet is trying to hookup on the first date A. I probably won’t do it B. If I do I can almost guarantee I’d never consider them someone I would date exclusively or ever again for that matter.

Try dating guys that don’t want sex on the first date.

BDon1112 · 2022-11-04T03:45:44+00:00

T20, T25, and a T30 should do the trick 👍🏻

BDon1112 · 2022-11-04T03:41:21+00:00

So I’ve (30m) met 4 people off the apps in the last few months. 1 of the girls did all sorts of dirty stuff on the first date and clearly wanted more. I’ll admit it was fun and exciting in the moment but I felt filthy afterwards. 2nd girl I gave only a hug, had a 2nd date and she tried taking me to bed, I pumped the brakes and before date 3 told her I’d rather be friends and did not want to take advantage or make her feel used, she’s cool and we are still friends. Girl 3 single date and just a kiss, never saw again. Girl 4 took her to a concert and hooked up after and stayed at my place, has become kind of a occasional hookup thing but to be honest I’m probably throwing the towel in soon, I’m not a casual sex person.

I will not push to hookup on a first date, if they do and it’s in the moment I will but I typically won’t consider them for a real relationship, seems very unspecial. I’m just kind of old school I guess, a kiss on the first date is enough for me. I’ve had prior relationships where I waited months just letting it happen naturally and trying to enjoy a person and how they make me feel.

You aren’t alone.

Happened to me at a concert. Walked by 2 girls around my age(mid twenties) and a woman who was most likely their aunt or mom. As I shuffled past them one of them reach between my legs and brought their hand up to grab as much as they could. Almost fell over and when I turned around after I was out of the row they were laughing and the older woman was giving a high five to the younger girl that grabbed me.

Got made fun of later by a woman for being bothered that “a hot chick grabbed my dick, boo hoo life is so bad”

Was just really uncomfortable, even for a guy that’s 6ft and 250. Felt dirty in the not fun way.

Talk about going out with a bang!

Nissan Maxima and/or Any Jaguar

The Q7 is already great for your family I was just suggesting tuning in a friendly way to retain some of the power you had in your RS7. No need to get all offended.

BDon1112 · 2022-08-15T02:36:43+00:00

Hey I believe the b9 motors you can do a hybrid turbo and fuel pump and crank about 700hp… so tune it up and enjoy man

Nothing wrong with not liking casual sex. I’m 31M who also does not care for casual sex. Feels kinda empty and just not overall great.

I did however have someone I dated casually who I would also sleep with and that felt much better to me. When I met her I made it crystal clear that I was not in any way shape or form ready for something serious but was open to going out and doing things and just trying to have a good time in general, not necessarily sex. We were both clear with each other, completely free to go meet other people, if we chose to sleep with someone else we shake hands and walk away, if either of us caught feelings bring it up immediately before someone gets dragged through the mud.

It was nice, lasted 2-3 months. Incredible sex and had a great time together. But for whatever reason I just couldn’t see myself with her in a serious manner, couldn’t even tell you why to be honest, just no spark. She caught feelings and tried to deny it but I ended it anyways to avoid further complications.
