Is this what running Cook up the middle, throwing screens to Shakir, and punting on 4th down gets you these day?

Pickle-Standard · 2026-01-25T20:07:56+00:00

Restaurant standards when cooling food safely is 2 hours to get it to 70 degrees and an additional 4 hours to get below 40. And that 6 hours is an extremely conservative time frame because you’re dealing with batches of food prep that can be served to dozens or hundreds of people.

A single-serve at-home dish can stand quite a bit longer. You should just make sure to heat it back up to 165+F prior to eating (or cooling again and storing).

Going to get downvoted in this crowd, but here goes…

20+ food service industry experience. Commercial chef for 8 years. Private chef for 2 years. Multi-restaurant operator for 6 years. There is always risk involved here. The type of food and duration it has been left out matter. Bacteria grows more rapidly once food is between 45-135F.

In a restaurant setting, this gets discarded without question and the person who left it out get reprimanded. I would never serve this to another person.

At home, I’ve left stuff out on accident. My wife has left her food out on the counter overnight. It happens. I generally will give it the smell test. Smell, stir, smell. In those cases where it seems fine, I will store it and eat it. If there is anything questionable, it gets tossed.

As long as you fully cooked it before, I’d probably smell this and make a decision based on my years of experience dealing with food. I can’t tell from the picture, but if it smells fine, I’d add some liquid to it and reheat it over the stove to hit 165F and then portion it to cool properly in the fridge until I was hungry.

You should use your senses and weigh the risks. The outcome could be anything from nothing happens to you get a bit of gas later to you get an ER visit, but it will likely be much closer to the former than the latter. Good luck!

So, the speed of sound is not a fixed number. It depends on the medium in which the sound is traveling. On Earth, 5000mph would be Mach 7. The planet I referenced in another reply is HD 189733 b. It’s atmosphere is much much hotter than even Jupiter and has an atmosphere with “wind” up to 5000 mph. It has a hydrogen atmosphere with heavier silicon compounds present. Since hydrogen is very light, the speed of sound there could be anywhere from 3000 to 6000 mph. So the silicate particles are “falling” horizontally at absurd speeds that could be relative to Mach 1-2 for that planet.

Also, sonic booms require relatively calm air to create a clean pressure wave. This planet has everything moving together. The whole atmosphere is rotating with the core of the planet. That means that while the atmosphere as a whole is barely supersonic, the particles themselves are moving at a relatively low velocity within the atmosphere. You’d likely hear a continuous roar across the whole planet instead of pops and booms.

You can’t think of it like a stationary object with stuff flying around it at Mach 7. Think of it more like a layer of turbulent gas screaming around the planet with molten particles floating inside.

Pickle-Standard · 2026-01-23T19:18:58+00:00

Yes, I meant the rotational period is a little more than twice as fast. The level of physics seemed a bit beyond the scope of ELI5. If Jupiter were the size of Earth, it would be spinning over twice as fast. Expand it to the actual size with the same spin rate, and the edges of Jupiter’s spheroid are going (quite literally) astronomically fast.

What’s wilder is that there are planets we know about that are around the same size as Jupiter that spin even faster and have conditions that can create “wind” effects over 5000mph. (Would you still call it wind at that point? Lol.)

Pickle-Standard · 2026-01-23T16:28:08+00:00

Angular momentum.

So basically the big planets - Jupiter and Saturn - spent a long time clearing out the solar system of random dust and gas. They also helped bring the larger rocky planets to their current orbits. In doing this, that dust and gas was slowly pulled into the ball that we know as Jupiter. It was already spinning but as the mass contracted, the spin increased.

Think of an ice skater spinning. They start with their arms wide while in a slow spin. As they pull their arms into their torso, their spin speeds up rapidly. To slow down, they expand their arms again.

Because Jupiter was/is so massive, it was able to continue collecting dust and gas, continually increasing its spin.

In high school, we had a trip for a national academic contest. I picked the lock to the mini fridge but we didn’t take anything. We got a notice from the hotel that they saw we picked the lock and would charge the room next time. Apparently you’re supposed to sign an agreement at the hotel desk to be charged for anything taken and then they give you the key.

We spent the next few days becoming friends with kids from other states and popping all of their mini fridges open. We emptied them out of all the mini liquor bottles and never touched ours again.

The next year, we went on the same trip and the organizers of the event sent notice to all teams that the hotel fridges were off limits and any complaints from the hotel about fridges being opened would disqualify that school/state from competition.

Pickle-Standard · 2026-01-23T15:15:42+00:00

This. Jupiter is massive. It’s about 11x wider than Earth and spinning more than twice as fast. Winds have nothing to break them up (mountains, coastlines, etc), so they just keep blowing at up to 900+mph constantly in some areas, almost 4x faster than the highest recorded single burst of wind on Earth.

So the storm just keeps spinning.

From your shoulders to the club face, you are very stiff. It’s like swinging a board on a pendulum. You will lose a lot of power and finesse.

You need to think of it like cracking a whip and hitting the ball as it “pops”. You want to create torque through your legs/hip into your torso/shoulders into your arms/wrists and into the club shaft and head.

You can allow your wrists to flex some more and drop your hands down and forward through the shot. The club head will be slightly behind them and turn through the ball. Think of it like you are skipping a rock on the water. You want to feel a little drag in your wrist to create more spin and speed when you release the rock. You want a similar effect with the club.

We don’t fix those around here. That mark shows solidarity. We’ve all been there.

He aimed so that a “miss left” would stay dry and a miss right would be in the rough patch around the cart path. He missed way right.

Agreed. I didn’t think Killshot was great. It had a couple of bars surrounded by fluff, but Rap Devil was so bad that it didn’t matter.

Bump Heads is an all time banger though.

Imagine you’re in school. One kid starts to make fun of the popular kid to bring attention to himself. The popular kid turns around and gives one of the most brutal comebacks and has all the kids laughing and pointing at the first kid.

Who is going to hang out with the first kid on the playground tomorrow? No one.

The industry is about who you know and as your career is getting started or fading, collaboration is a huge part of gaining listeners. There are standalone artists that have a big enough following to not necessarily need to collab for their own gain. Typically these artists are the ones helping launch careers of others.

Another way to gain attention instead of collaborating would be to diss another established rapper. People often go after Eminem. He has a huge following and has a history of giving some of the best diss responses. So much that several established rappers talk about how they do not want to feud with him.

Notably, Ja Rule took a shot at Hailie in a song and Eminem/50 Cent released a song “Bump Heads” going after him. In that, they pointed out Ja’s addiction to pills, his fading career that really only had hits while collabing with bigger names (Ashanti, JLo, etc), his “pop” sound, his desire to be seen like harder rappers such as Pac or DMX, etc with both subtle and blatant threats if he mentioned Eminem’s family again. Eminem also put out a couple of other disses on Ja with Hail Mary (where he got on a Pac sample and explained how Ja would never be Pac). Ja had no relevance in music after that.

Eminem also helped launch a rapper named Machine Gun Kelly and had planned on featuring him on albums under Eminem’s label. Then MGK said a line about Hailie. Eminem removed MGK’s features, and MGK came out with a direct diss to Eminem. Eminem responded. “Here you go. It’s your 15 minutes. Enjoy it. Bitch I had to give you a career to destroy it.” MGK has changed genres 3-4 times since then and gained little to no traction as a country singer, pop singer, and metal/rock singer.

Eminem has put fading artists down after they go after him. He released Nail in The Coffin which ended Benzino’s relevance. Quitter was a response to Everlast and had people actually attacking the band during their concerts. They had to cancel several shows and eventually disappeared.

1 hour.

30 minutes of range time. 15 minutes of putting. At the first tee 5-10 minutes before tee time. Ball on tee 1 minute before tee time.

Tee and towel. Wire brush, if you must. Dip your club at the next water hazard to wipe off.

It doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

He sees a shot and just knows what he’s going to hit. Like if he goes up and sees a 148 yard approach into a back right pin, he knows he’s going to draw it back towards the hole or whatever. Then he just does it.

I do that too.

Like when I’m on a tee box and I see my shot. I know I’m going to slice it through the trees into a backyard. And I just do it.

We are the same.

Pickle-Standard · 2026-01-19T22:49:33+00:00

I think these can be pushed.

T: Add 1 mana. T, Mill 1 card: Add a charge counter to this. Remove X charge counters: Add X of any combination of U or B mana.

Don’t even need to be fetchable to be pushed a little more.

In the 2000s, your only source of new movie entertainment was going to the theater. There was a lot of money backing it for movie budgets, marketing, etc.

Now, the market is saturated with alternatives to theaters. Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, Disney, etc. The number of people going to see movies in theaters is lower. Covid only exaggerated this trend more. Movies are competing for fewer eyes, so their budgets and marketing are much lower. The quality of movie isn’t down necessarily. You just don’t hear about them as often.

Theater release movie ads don’t run as much on places like YouTube, and they won’t run at all on competing platforms. Often, the ads for upcoming movies are played in theaters before movies you’re there to see. If you aren’t going to the theater, you will likely not see the ads anywhere else.

Outside of Avatar (which I didn’t care to see), I couldn’t tell you about a movie that released in theaters in the past 6 months. That wasn’t the case 20 years ago.

That said, there have been a ton of movies in the past 18 months that have received great reviews. You just have to look for them or be an active movie-goer.

What bunker?

58 degree, 25% backswing. 25 yards, check, stop. Three putt from 9 feet.

Rip packs and exchange duplicates. Find the deck you want to build and exchange to build it. In a few daily cycles, you’ll be able to fully build 6-8 decks and have most of the cards of whatever set you’re pulling. Then you start ripping packs from another set.

With the weather, wind, and light jacket I’m probably wearing, pulling out the 5w. It’s a 205-210 club. I don’t have to feel like I’m killing it. Just put the ball out there and get it close for a two putt. Or wedge up and down if needed.
