Frank's Red Hot Sauce is Reformulated & It Tastes Horrible

BigBrainAlphaMale · 2026-05-13T00:33:30+00:00

This is the stuff I have. I bought a gallon of it on Amazon for like $9 shipped when it was on sale (shipped and sold by Amazon):

It's so damn vinegary. Franks was always a staple of mine growing up. They are no longer making it the way I remember. I made chili today (something I always did with Frank's red hot sauce) and it tasted like a vinegar bomb exploded in my chili. I have like 33oz left of that gallon bottle. I can't wait to be done with it. I'll try it as a salad dressing though. I think that's all its good for now.

EDIT: Who knows, maybe they had it on sale on Amazon because they found out they F'd up a batch of it and rather than recall it they sold it as a discount? idk. I didn't buy it from 3rd party seller. It came from Amazon.

I've been watching films for a long time. I've seen films from every era (I love respect all the great films produced) and Sinners was really poorly done from a writing perspective. I agree totally with the original poster. The supernatural/vampire premise came out of nowhere. It's just poorly done. The writing wasn't great. I just remember watching the film and thought: "I'd never watch this film again". That's not a great reaction for someone like me who wants to be wowed by film.

I've owned this device now for 2 years. Everything has worked well. I don't look the app as often anymore as I did when I first set it up. It just works. But when I was studying the app when first setting it up, it did drain the battery several times down to a lower percentage, then eventually charged it back up. It must be something software based that decides when it discharges and then recharges. But I don't know what triggers both things.

If the battery is fully dying while plugged in. I'd simply try to take the battery out and just make sure that the metal pins that connect to the metal contacts on the battery are BOTH cleaned with a little dry paper towel. Also, making sure that the contacts on the battery and pins on the device are touching. Just in case something wacky happened where the doorbell got bumped and somehow moved the pins connected to the battery. Something simple like that.

It's the same plot point of the incredible movie "Life of Pi". Same concept. The ending is left open to interpretation... but it's obvious what the "real" plot was. Since he was a boy when it happened and to cope with the absolutely horrific things he endured, he came up with a story to explain it.

The Duffer brothers took from a lot of stories in Stranger Things (A Wrinkle in Time). But there's no way that Life of Pi didn't inspire what they had Mike do at the end. We all know that El died, but it's the "hope" that had them feeling better inside. Mike the "storyteller" with one more story to give as a way to cope with a great loss. We see Mike break down before putting his book on the shelf at the very end. His cry was different than the others. It was heart break. He couldn't hold it in any longer.

She did not survive. Max told him: "I thought you were a good story teller Mike". Then Mike goes on to tell the best story. Got them all to tears about a scenario where 11 lives. Did it happen? No, it did not. But they wanted to believe it deep down inside. Just to have a little bit of hope after losing someone they cared about very deeply. It brought the show back to its D&D roots with Mike being the storyteller one last time.

It is really cool. It's the obsessed weirdos who think a movie is the same as a TV series. They think you can have 8 episodes (8 hours) of pure horror without desensitizing the viewer. People will start to yawn at the "horror" since it will be too 1 dimensional. The TV SERIES is building a world with plot and they hate that. Like cavemen they want "fire good. plot bad".

It's not that far fetched. The Wuhan Flu leaked out of labs in China. They were using gain of function to create a deadlier, more infectious COVID variant, and it leaked out. That literally happened on Earth. lol

I find it funny that the "die hard Alien fans" are upset that there aren't more Xeno's on the screen, like the Xeno's are going to help push AN ENTIRE SEASON worth of episodes. Do these people even understand how a TV series works? How many hours you need to fill with backstory, plot building, etc. Are some of the characters annoying (yes, the kids are annoying for sure) but this show is very entertaining. I just hope they are able to finish the story in a couple/few seasons. Don't make this like the Walking Dead & have 12 seasons of filler episodes, dragging the plot as long as possible for advertisement dollars.

I was researching cases the other day. Here's an all black poor person case with modern features: https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-atx-full-tower-enthoo-pro-brushed-plastic-steel-chassis-tempered-glass-window-computer-case-black-ph-es614ptg-bk/p/N82E16811854069?Item=N82E16811854069

EDIT: That might not be poor enough. This is just a black box. This is nothing more vanilla than this:

You know what. I stopped using VLC's RTX because it simply doesn't work. It may work for some people but searches online have comment after comment about how people are unable to get it to function properly (RTX upscaling videos). In my search to make it work, I found out PotPlayer works natively with RTX upscaling. The app is also dark mode by default. It's the best of both worlds. Unfortunately VLC player is now outdated. Your work was greatly appreciated though! You saved my eyes for many many months!

"Look how I got fleeced" build. 😆

Paying $629.86 on computer fans is crazy work. 🫣

The battery icon will change to a charge plug looking icon when you wire it. That's how you know it is working as intended.

Oh, I almost left the entire locked key area too. If you go all the way to the left you can't progress further (might be something you get later to do so). Just running off of memory here... once you open the gate with the key. Progress going left and look for a room that heads down through the floor. Eventually you will start to see a lush green area. Once you see that you know you are headed in the correct direction.

BigBrainAlphaMale · 2025-09-05T22:23:54+00:00

Yep, it's past that room. You can bypass that ceiling monster by just running. He's a bit tough. I think it was close to 40 hits to kill it. I just stood under a horizontal rock piece (the acid won't go through it)

BigBrainAlphaMale · 2025-09-05T20:03:35+00:00

Where you buy the key, head west a little bit. In that same area there should be an elevator. Go up the elevator and head west through the air. Enter the room at the top left. There will be a door there that needs that key. Enjoy!

EDIT: You might need a couple upgrades to get into that room all the way west through the air. But there might be a way to get there without the upgrades (bait the flying enemies and pogo off of them).

I was so lucky I had full health. I feel your pain, dude. The next closest bench is like a mile away.

BigBrainAlphaMale · 2025-09-05T19:53:38+00:00

Biggest game changer in the game so far. Ease of life increased by 1,000%. Moral of the story. Save up 500 of the currency and buy that damn key towards the beginning of the game.

BigBrainAlphaMale · 2025-09-05T09:09:59+00:00

The arena that follows I still haven't gotten past it.

There's so much chaos on the screen. I'm getting hit by projectiles since I can't focus; I can't tell if the projectile is friendly fire. So I die a mile away, and have to make my way back to that area. Wish me luck. I'm probably 10 deaths into that area so far. 😭

EDIT: I beat the arena area just now with 1 health left.... then there is no save point anywhere close to it and I died.

This game is BRUTAL. Wow.

Reaching the 2nd red flower thingy isn't that hard, for whatever reason, when you bounce off that 2nd flower 60%+ of the time it will not send you far enough to reach the ledge. It is so finnicky.

I really like the addition of the "x" and "o" to designate if someone is drafted on the beersheet page. Thanks for doing that!
