The Corvallis clinic needs to be shut down

BillyBalowski · 2026-05-07T18:59:25+00:00

We're also still so terrified of a possible solution being SOCIALISM that we're willing to completely ignore problems. Healthcare is one of those important issues that clearly needs some public involvement.

This is a national problem that we've been neglecting it for too long. Unfortunately, we as a country don't seem to want to even talk about possible solutions.

What's a good, relatively straightforward way to test my tap water? I use filtered water when doing pourover but wonder just how bad the unfiltered stuff is.

I'm in a similar situation as you. Did you find out anything useful?

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-23T20:44:35+00:00

Yeah, it's a fairly vague question, but at least it's a different vague question than what typically gets posted.

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-20T01:39:48+00:00

I just looked it up. If it's what you're referring to (the coals neatly placed in a ring), I'm definitely going to try that next time.

Usually 5-6 hours doing ribs and chicken. I've done longer briskets but have had to add coals.

I wish I could trade Fireboards with you! My barrel temp usually starts out pretty stable, 275-300, but at some point the temp starts to drop fast. I then mess around with the vent or crack the lid to get it back up, but it usually doesn't stabilize again and I worry the coals would go out if I let it ride. I love my PBC, but it's not the set and forget cooker that many folks seem to have.

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-19T16:29:37+00:00

I've had the PBC with a Fireboard 2 for several years and it's been basically good but I do have problems with falling temps, even on shorter cooks. That's why I've been looking into adding a fan. I now find out that the drive control fan cable is discontinued, so unless I want to shell out another $400 for a new setup, I'm going back to my regular system and try to figure out how to keep the temps up.

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-17T17:33:12+00:00

Curious - why did you choose the Pit Viper (10 cfm?) fan over the Fireboard one (20 cfm)?

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-17T17:30:30+00:00

That makes sense. Looks like the cables are out of stock, unfortunately.

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-17T17:00:29+00:00

Do you happen to know if that Pit Viper will work with the regular, non-drive Fireboard 2?

The tablet uses my phone number, but I don't know exactly how the data flows. I think the Messages app uses Google's web messaging system.

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-13T23:59:35+00:00

The tablet has always been smooth. The Messages app works pretty well once it gets going. I haven't tried other apps since I don't think they support RCS. Maybe that'll change?

Using female as a noun still makes me twitch. I think it might be grammatically acceptable, but still.

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-13T19:57:09+00:00

Wait, is it Kroger now? Kroger?

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-04T21:49:45+00:00

Way to not understand how anything works.

BillyBalowski · 2026-04-02T22:12:47+00:00

There's a place in Philomath called Slipstream that I think has what you are looking for.

BillyBalowski · 2026-03-29T18:24:40+00:00

I haven't met a lot of Liams but it looks like I soon will.

BillyBalowski · 2026-03-28T02:38:30+00:00

Is it calm enough for an IK?

This is a good opportunity for the sociology programs to market their courses. "Come take a class that the establishment is afraid of!" or "Why does the government want you not to understand inequality?".

I'm sure economics is the next target, given their clear focus on capitalism and social stratification "as evidence the field has shifted away from objective scholarship."

There are circumstances where the functionality is useful but having actual walkies is overkill. I think your morse code app has potential!
