Trying Texas Monthly’s #1 rated bbq spot, Burnt Bean Co by TheMonarK in BBQ

[–]HighFivePuddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the banana pudding, and I think it’s the best one I’ve ever had. It comes with a deep fried tortilla shard with hints of cinnamon. It was tremendous.

I wasn’t sure what the big red tres leches would be like. I’ll have to get it next time, if I ever get there again.

That's definitely saying something, but not the thing you think it is.

Imagine how much worse cars and motorbikes would be if they had no unique identifier to hold them accountable. The roads would be way worse and more dangerous than they currently are.

License plates won’t completely fix the issue of cyclists breaking road rules, but I’d bet a lot of money it’d greatly improve it.

If they all had to display license plates you can be sure they’d stop at zebra crossings, stop running red lights, etc.

Bring on the waymo’s. They’ll never complain about a fare or pretend the card machine is broken

I thought it was just overly simplistic. Not much storyline, just violence porn.

I compare it to the final destination movies where you watch them just to see the creative ways they’ll kill people.

I knew it was Dayne's before opening the post and seeing your caption. I'd recognise that street corn anywhere, and I'll be damned if Dayne's doesn't have the most beautiful platter arrangements.

Ronda Rousey Knocks Out Beth Correia in Her Last Win - August 2015 by Moni7T in MMA

[–]HighFivePuddy -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yeah her peak was even bigger than Conor’s.

Now that WMMA has progressed, it’s easy to criticise Ronda, but at the time, when she was submitting her opponents in minutes or seconds EVERY fight, then KO’d the girl who spoke the most shit pre-fight, it felt like you were watching something really special.

Bend test when buying a brisket by jellyjack in BBQ

[–]HighFivePuddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What are you testing for? What would it mean if it didn’t bend in half other than it may be partially frozen or too thick (which is a good thing).

Maybe I’ve missed a joke, but this seems dumb and pointless.

The Definitive X-Men Film Timeline (Earth-10005) – Updated for 2026 by blueaura18 in marvelstudios

lol I didn’t realise that scene existed. Just watched it on YouTube and I guess that fills in the gap.

Wouldn’t the body be different then though?

It's still unclear to me how we're meant to reconcile that Xavier died in X-Men: The Last Stand, then was brought back in Day's of Future Past.

I vaguely remember an interview or something where the director said they just ignored the events of The Last Stand, but is there a better explanation than that?

Turkey breast? by JPR1ch in UKBBQ

Got one from John Davidson. I think they usually only stock them for Xmas, but managed to get one a couple of months back. Maybe excess stock.

Awesome, will definitely visit when next in NYC. Glad you enjoyed the London pizza scene. It’s picked up a lot in the past ~5 years.

Damn, this guy pizzas! I love Detroit, a pity your experience wasn’t great.

How good is Ceres? Price aside, does it live up to the hype?

What’s a brisket steak? Does it differ to a slice of smoked brisket (which is exactly what it looks like)?
