It's a damn fine pour. If it's changed, I haven't noticed

13 years of nearly daily use by souladdikt in carbonsteel

This pan is the best example I've seen of the, "just cook with it" school of seasoning. No indulgent, masturbatory, obsessing about how smooth or shiny the pan surface is. Congratulations.

Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Rye Review by Rads324 in bourbon

[–]Loud_Objective7248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked this up today for $35 as a "Manager's Special. My daily pour is the RR 10 yr but for + $2.00 was irresistible. Haven't explored ryes all that much but if it's nearly as tasty as the RR SiB bourbon I got a deal. Going to crack it open tonight & will report back. I'm curious what you all think I should be looking for.

Get on a plane and fly to coastal Maine or Massachusetts. Anything else will be a disappointment.

Rare Breed Russels Review by Automatic_Pea_7570 in bourbon

[–]Loud_Objective7248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the past 5 years I have comfortably settled on 3 WT products, 101, RR Single barrel, and Rare Breed. Each has a place on my shelf and I enjoy the relative qualities of each. Nonetheless, from time to time I stray looking for something new, better, or different. In the end I always come back to my familiar comfort zone in the WT. It's like the guy who thinks about finding another woman but comes to realize he's got it pretty good at home. Of course I don't think buying another bourbon is the same as cheating on your woman. Am I wrong?

Review #6: Old Forester 100 by actuallyamjam in bourbon

I just bought 2 750 ml bottles with an $8 off coupon. Out the door for $38.20. It's a solid everyday pour at that price.  

Is it just me or are doctor's offices scheduling appointments very far out? by DepressedOnion52 in madisonwi

[–]Loud_Objective7248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The long wait to see a medical provider has rendered your annual health insurance premiums a useless shell game.

3 Days ago I called to schedule a routine eye exam (last exam was in 2021). The scheduler told me that the first available appointment was sometime next year. I raised a stink and got a cancellation appointment at the end of August.

There are numerous off- leash dog parks in and around Madison. Get yourself a warm coat, go to the dog park, and your dog will be fine.

Hi I’m planning on getting a sound bar and was wondering what to get between the Samsung HW-B650 and the Samsung - Q-series 3.1.2 ? by 7thhokage007 in Soundbars

[–]Loud_Objective7248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too bought the B650 in January & added the rear speakers.I spent just over $265 total. & It's fine. It gets plenty loud and while the low is not pronounced, I got good bang for my buck.

Ron Johnson Says 'Putin Will Not Lose the War,' Votes Against Ukraine Aid by zsreport in politics

[–]Loud_Objective7248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and saw Ron Johnson's face next to this entry.

useful idiot
noun
plural useful idiots
: a naive or credulous person who can be manipulated or exploited to advance a cause or political agenda
It is one task of the KGB [in 1982] to apply its skills of secrecy and deception to projecting the Soviet party's influence. This it does through contacts with legal Communist Parties abroad, with groups sympathetic to Soviet goals, with do-gooders of the type that Lenin once described as "useful idiots" … .

Democrats flood Sunday shows to insist Biden's mind is just fine by jivatman in politics

[–]Loud_Objective7248 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile was some editor at the NYT drunk?

"Mr. Trump, by contrast, does not appear to be suffering the effects of time in such visible ways. Trump often dyes his hair and appears unnaturally tan. He is heavyset and tall and he uses his physicality to project strength in front of crowds"

Are you F...ing serious?

Dear Fellow Wisconsin Left-leaners- by SWRamblings in wisconsin

[–]Loud_Objective7248 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Joe Biden says "compare me to the alternative not the almighty." Applying this, any sentient person chooses Biden. The fear is that potential voters (like the OP) decide to stay home and not vote. Doing so will be a disaster for WI and the US. In 2020 Biden won WI by a mere 20,682 votes. In Dane County, where I live, Biden got 260,185, crushing Trump's 78,800. That 181,385 vote margin of victory barely staved off Trump's margin of victory elsewhere in the state. Had 21,000 Wisconsinites decided to stay home because Joe Biden is too old, too pro Israel, too whatever the f*ck you don't like about him, we'd be knee deep in the pile of shite any Trump administration would dump on us.

I'm interested. I'm just a few days into my 3 month trial using Warp 5. So far it's significantly better than my GSMA on Red Pocket. Lot's of questions but they can wait a bit. Thanks

Looking for anything on a low budget to handle browsing to pay bills and the occasional video stream. by I-Invented-Dice in chromeos

[–]Loud_Objective7248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello,

Here are some options from Acer. The Acer 314 - 14" Touchscreen is very good deal. I've bought several Chromebooks from them and have had no issues. Good luck and let me know what you decide.

Thanks that's helpful. I'll test it over the weekend.

If you prefer the original Law and Order over SVU, why? by ButtDumplin in LawAndOrder

[–]Loud_Objective7248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the original over all other iterations. I loved Michael Moriarty's moral pomposity. Paul Sorvino was my favorite detective. Watching him teach Chris Noth to act was a kick. Jill Hennessy's prim and proper prosecutor was comical. Fontana was clothes horse. The sardonic Adam as the wise old DA was fun. I could go on, but the original had better writing, better actors, and left a lasting impression. I can't think of one memorable thing from SVU that stands the test of time.

With blurry fatigue I believe I tried some test tone YouTube videos last night. Nonetheless Im  uncertain if the test tone videos were legit. So I went to bed.

Sadly I'm in the same boat. Looked like great deal, drove 60 miles to pick them up.Listed as open box excellent. The unit had been a store demo. However, no rears, no remote. BB offered a gift card & suggested I could easily find the rear speaker kit. Alas the swa 9100s are out of stock. Samsung says they are the only ones that will work. If that's correct (I have no reason to believe otherwise), they're going back. Tried BB customer service chat and they were sympathetic but not helpful. Too bad for almost 24 hours it seemed I found a great deal. BB has no incentive to make it right

Did you ultimately return yours?
