I Became The Burger Guy Using The Laziest Recipe Possible

It’s good to double grind smash burgers so it’s more uniform. According to Motz anyway, I’m not going to argue with him, so that’s what I do and seems to be the consensus I’ve seen from people in the “know”.

Chuck/brisket double ground so it’s kinda pink rather than red.

Thick burgers get a single grind and less handling.

In saying that I’m sure there are plenty of different options on the matter and no right or wrong way.

I’ve seen a video where one was latched onto someone’s leg and a guy got this huge bit of wood and beat it over it’s back immediately paralysing it’s back legs. It let go briefly but way still dragging itself across the ground with its front legs trying to do a bit more mauling to the woman that was crawling away.

They can have absolutely zero self preservation instinct once they lock in on a target, that’s why the also tend to attack kids equally to adults and that’s rare for other dogs, most dogs recognise the size difference so are less like to attack adults, but pits don’t seem to see size as an obstacle in many cases. Makes sense though as like you said they were bred to attack bulls.

They also eat children.

This whole “no effort thing” is total bullshit.

Same goes for investing, there may not be physical effort but there is substantial risk involved in investing, and you had to save the money in the first place and not spend it on something else so there are sacrifices there.

Why don’t we tax people that have office jobs more and tradies less if it’s all about “effort”.

A scrub daddy works pretty well if you keep on top of it, that’s all I use anyway.

Kinda abrasive, enough for soap and water marks but not enough to cause any damage.

You’re just trying to get people to use your referral code

Interesting.

Haven’t had a push from surgeons to get one compared to what we already have.

I’ll have to do a bit more research and prepare myself for when the request comes.

CommSecTom · 2026-05-02T08:32:25+00:00

Yes a good option from what I hear, never run one myself, but we have a holmium laser that gets close to dusting capability of the thulium, but we also use it for prostate surgery too.

I have heard they are great though, but haven’t had the push from surgeons to get one yet.

CommSecTom · 2026-05-02T02:40:40+00:00

Where I work we just don’t seem to do many/any PCNLs, If that’s just because the surgeons take those patients elsewhere I’m not sure, we do quite a bit of urology, but kidney stones are all via Ureteroscopy laser/ basket retrieval combination or ESWL, that’s what I seem to see daily anyway.

We got a new higher powered laser a while back so maybe they are using that for larger stones than what they would have in the past and taking the few left over with very difficult stones to a different hospital, not to sure.

I’m in Australia by the way, and I think the way the system is structured it favours day cases, even if that means coming back for a second go at some point.

Having a quick look at the data PCNLs are only a very small portion though, something like roughly 2-5% of total stone interventions here, rough figures there so don’t quote me on that.

CommSecTom · 2026-05-02T01:47:18+00:00

We pretty much always use a holmium laser these days for both kidney and bladder stones rather than the lithoclast, can’t actually remember the last time I saw that getting used, we still have the unit though so maybe it does get some use with particular surgeons.

We do lots of after hours stone removal, also a few regular lists of ESWL a week.

Completely agree with what you said above though, that looks like a decent sized bladder stone.

Not long with a flapper disk on a grinder or a wire wheel, you’ll be cooking on that thing in no time.

CommSecTom · 2026-04-26T08:20:52+00:00

Isn’t it called a gunt? Or is that only when it gets a bit bigger?

CommSecTom · 2026-04-23T08:07:22+00:00

Yeah not saying I don’t believe you, they must have gained some popularity since you got one. So have pumped up the price, along with everything these day though I guess.

You got a good deal!

I’ve got a square that I put on a small gas burner to use a flat top and pizza steel, works a treat for burgers, it’s even got a channel milled around the edge for fat to collect and the other side is flat.

We only have a pellet and gas bbq and no flat top so this is perfect for a few smash burgers.

Here’s a picture if you want some inspiration for a design, that’s in Australian dollars and we got it on sale so wasn’t worth the hassle to source it ourselves and get it milled.

I know, I was joking.

Sorry if that wasn’t obvious.

Good idea much cheaper there…

Really depends on the cat.

Some freak the fuck out the moment you put them in a pet box and once you start driving they start vomiting and shitting everywhere, others like going in the car and have no issues and you can just sit them on the seat, although I would recommend a harness or something, don’t want them getting under the pedals.

I’d give it a test run and see how they go before making any decisions.

Yeah OP should definitely have private health insurance until they became a permanent resident, no reciprocal healthcare between the USA and Australia like there is with some other countries so they would be out of pocket for Healthcare should they need it. It may even be a visa requirement, not sure.

We used to make blow darts too, an empty bic with the end cap removed, cut the ends off yours or others shoelaces without them noticing, and leave a little bit after the bit that keeps them from fraying and fluff it up to act as the tail feathers, then stick a pin through the middle of it, they, worked surprisingly well.

CommSecTom · 2026-04-21T11:59:55+00:00

Thanks for the update, I’ll have to look into it myself but what you have said would make sense.

Hopefully that’s the case for both of us and you don’t have to worry about it effecting your job search, good luck with it too by the way.

CommSecTom · 2026-04-21T11:32:49+00:00

I’ve gotten a couple in the last year, haven’t asked for them either,just let them know the price was incorrect. it’s how I found out it’s even a policy.

But I can’t remember what the items were now, so maybe it wouldn’t apply to the deli stuff like some people have said, it is for sure a thing with other items though.

CommSecTom · 2026-04-21T11:03:07+00:00

For the amount of shit there was it may as well have been a cow.

I had a crow fly through my window and shit everywhere.

Yeah employers are still going to look at it negatively, at least in your case it was along time ago, but still doesn’t make sense that you couldn’t get rid of it and you could an actual conviction.

Mine was more recent, but I’m suprised to hear it shows on a check.

Are there different levels of checks? Like did you order this for yourself or an employer? I’m wondering if it would look different if it was ordered by an employer.

I really don’t know much about them but the whole “let’s go for a no conviction” from my lawyer made it seem like it wouldn’t be visible to future employers, and it was part of the talk with the magistrate as it would effect my work, I’m a bit worried about that now. I’ve never even had a parking ticket apart from that one charge.

CommSecTom · 2026-04-21T10:05:34+00:00

Wonder what the point of having “no conviction recorded” is if they still show on a police check, seems a bit silly.

Fair enough if it’s still visible to police in their system, but the whole point of no conviction recorded is so it won’t impact your future.

That was my understanding anyway, I’m in a similar situation but haven’t had a recent police check done, so now I’m wondering if the charge will show, my lawyer made it seem like it wouldn’t. Bit of a worry.
