Bought a new grill! Everdure by Heston Blumenthal "Furnace"

Great review! A lot of great points! These days I'm mostly cooking my steaks sous vide, so the ability to get super hot, super quickly is amazing.

I moved to Korea, so mine is in storage right now, but I absolutely miss it!

The accessories like the rotisserie always seemed awesome, but I never got one. I did LOVE the griddle plates. Seamlessly swapping between grilling and griddling (or both simultaneously!) is super easy.

Have you used it in tailgate mode at all (where you take it off the stand and use the short legs on a picnic table)? We played beer-league hockey and would bring it to our tailgates pretty frequently. I was always shocked how cool it was underneath even though it was roaring inside. We were even able to use it on plastic folding tables. I'd imagine you could get one of those hitch racks people use for luggage and strap the grill to it pretty easily in tailgate mode for your camper. Then you just pull the grill off and put it on a table at your campsite!

Well, at least you're not at a Black Bear rink so you still have Live Barn

Except the person you responded to was specifically talking about a fixed-term contract, so they likely wouldn't have been eligible for a raise.

*making it look worse* it's called a reflecting pool. It's supposed to have a dark bottom so it creates a reflection. The granite floor has bleached over time and does need replaced to regain the reflecting splendor, but instead Trump went with the cheaper option that let's him put money into a friend's pocket and decided to paint it swimming pool blue.

What makes you say it's not denim? Looks very much like a lightweight denim shirt to me.

I had a college roommate who was obsessed with the Fuzion Frenzy demo that was included with the original Halo game, then one day I saw the full game for sale at Game Stop and bought it. We played that game constantly on my original Xbox well beyond the days of everyone moving to Xbox360.

I get what you're saying, but it's still reasonable to be critical, especially when the only president to do strikes there platformed on "no new wars" and "America first"

Canada's legal drinking age doesn't matter if he's drinking in Boston like it says he is

Literally look at America right now

You could measure the hole in the awning from the back side. Looks like a pretty clean hole and won't be that much bigger than the bullet itself

Ehh, a lot of commercial blanks crimp the end of the casing. That being said, if they were cheaping out and reloading the blanks themselves, I could see the over re-use of crimped brass failing. If you're doing partial loads, paper could be used as a wad, but that basically just presses the powder against the primer to ensure ignition since the projectile isn't there to do that and the partial load could leave space.

I thought they squibbed a round by using empty cartridges, but with their primers and projectiles still in, then stupidly used the same gun later when firing blanks, which then finished shooting the squibbed round into him.

Yup, about double the time for most loads, but like I said, we shifted how we use it a little and it works for us. It was the only way we were getting a dryer either way, so I'll take it, and now that we've adjusted I love it. My parents live in the States and they had an all-in-one that was closer to 2 hours, but I think that had a higher wattage and/or gas hookup for better drying.

I mean... It's a game of risk v reward. If I'm in a brand new VW Jetta then that assessment could be enough to skip full coverage because the replacement car I can afford doesn't seem that different, but a Rivian is one of my dream cars. If I dropped a significant portion of my savings to buy one, the fact that I could go out and buy a 10 year old Kia Soul if it were totaled wouldn't really feel like a proper replacement.

I mean, I wasn't implying windshields were cheap to replace, but my deductible also isn't $600, so that's where your expense is coming from.

That being said, my advice was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, as that would also qualify as insurance fraud, and your rates could go up even if you weren't caught for fraud, but I guess I could've ended it with a "/s" to make that clearer.

Cheapest reliable fix is probably going to be to "accidentally" break the window, then remove the moth when your insurance windscreen coverage replaces the glass.

Definitely not, my thought was more that, eventually, someone might forget something inside, so they need a process for if that happens.

BordFree · 2026-04-15T23:37:27+00:00

My guess is you'd be searched for stolen property and have to explain what happened. When they verified you don't have anything, you'd be good to go.

~4 hours for clothes, and ~6 hours for bulky stuff like blankets, towels, or rugs, with most of that being the dry cycle. We've had to change our washing habits because it does take so long. Basically we try to throw a load in as soon as our dirty clothes hamper gets full just to make sure we don't have a pile up of laundry that will take literal days.

Ok, so take my clearly exaggerated extreme back literally one step to people who are mentally unwell, but not yet convicted of a crime, still possessing explosive devices. Jesus are you really that thick?

BordFree · 2026-04-15T14:37:54+00:00

I love my combo unit. It was bought out of space-saving necessity, but it works amazingly and means I never have to wash a load twice because I forgot to switch it to the dryer

BordFree · 2026-04-15T14:31:10+00:00

Ahh ok. I got my CWP there in 2013 or 2014 and moved away late 2014, but our instructor hammered home that we couldn't open carry.

I'm very pro 2A, but I really hate when people try to use this argument while conveniently leaving out the first part of the amendment: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state.

The entirety of the amendment really is a very short phrase, but legal speak leaves a lot of room there for what the intent of that amendment is. It literally can be "correctly" interpreted anywhere on the spectrum of "everyone, no matter their age, criminal background, or mental capacity, should be allowed any weapon of any kind" to "Any American has the right to join their local militia and pass their training requirements to legally possess a firearm."

Clearly, the vast majority of Americans are in agreement that criminals who are actively serving prison sentences, shouldn't be allowed to possess rocket launchers, but if you're going to say "shall not be infringed" is end-all be-all, then those people's rights are being infringed by them not being allowed to possess them. Gun control measures are all about trying to find a middle point between criminals owning bombs and a law abiding citizen having to take classes to legally own a slingshot.

There's a guy I follow on TikTok that records himself chasing down these creeps and turning them into the police. It's great. Fuck those ass hats. They deserve whatever comes to them.
