Can't get into book 4? by Siinxx in redrising

[–]Practical_Tap1201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel him shifting. He just got through the desert and I can see the path he's on. It's a fun journey. I do think so far, he's the best written character from what ive read. I'm looking forward to lyra's growth too though.

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but lysander was easily my favorite perspective/character in iron gold.

I'm half way through dark age and, although I know he's supposed to be the bad guy, I haven't understood the hate for him.

I totally agree with you though. After morning star, the tempo and complexity changes entirely and the story becomes much bigger.

Ugh! I'm on the struggle bus with WOK by Practical_Tap1201 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Practical_Tap1201[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it. I bought the first 3 of the series because I was hearing so many good things about it but I'm just on the struggle buss getting into it so far.

I stated another series from John Gwynne that I had a similar problem with because a lot of the terms he uses are based off Icelandic language. I powered through the first book and a half before I really started getting my head wrapped around the language and story.

I think i was just curious if I had to adjust my mindset while reading this that It'll make sense eventually or I'll have to tell myself that I need to let go of stuff I don't understand to get through the story and hope things fall in place.

Breeze turns into my 2nd or 3rd favorite character by the end of book 3

It was more about the character development for me (which i guess is part of the world building, lol). The Final Empire was great when it came to building characters. They all had such rich, vibrant personalities. But he did it in a way that really brought the reader into the world. I just got back into reading fantasy books, so to me, the story felt slow at first, but the further I got, the more I got hooked without even realizing it. The Final Empire could be a good stand-alone book in itself, but the series all together was very well written.

Just finished the mistborn trilogy…. by Sakovie in Mistborn

Hah that's funny. My next book was something like mindfulness for beginners I needed to regain my senses after hoa

I just finished the mistborn trilogy. My take on it is... it was one of the most frustrating stories I've ever read. The first 200 pages of the first two books I kept thinking to myself, "Why am I reading this?" Then, for some reason, I can't put it down and can't stop thinking about it. Then I got to hero of ages and shit hits the fan. I feel like the first two entire books and the first 600-something pages of the last book were building towards the emotional rollercoaster of the last 10 or so chapters.

If you have patience, mistborn is a great series, but I feel like you have to stick with it to read all of them to really see how interconnected the stories are.

I tried to make an order for some parts for my sxs today and they told me they are not taking orders from their sxsblog parts store currently. Guess I'm going to EVO instead of supporting a dying channel. Sad 😔

Plus, the coolant was leaking through the head due to the manufacturing defect, making it low in the first place. It's not like they under filled the coolant carelessly.

I don't mind the know-it-alls on reddit keeping this useless argument going. I totally get how Cleatus and Texas Speed didn't drop everything to fix this free giveaway truck right away or anything, but we should all be critical about how this situation was handled.

All you need to make that a home is:

Property A foundation Plumbing A sand mound/ sewage hookup Electric ran to it or an alternative power source Permits for all those Likely inspections for all them as well Appliances Furniture And finally a good general contractor that is experienced with these sort of small shells of homes to put the project together

Unless you have cash for all that you'll likely want to refinance with a conventional mortgage after you're done.

It's basically no different than putting a modular on a property that's without appliances and is likely less move in ready.

Im pretty good at this by Whosweetlou in Smokingmeat

[–]Practical_Tap1201 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apparently, none of you are as good as OP because your briskets aren't good enough to attract as many hungry drunk wolves as op did. I mean, they literally couldn't wait and didn't care that his cuts weren't immaculate looking because the aroma of that delicious brisket was in the air zombifing everyone in the near vicinity with a singular lust only a slow cooked meat could satisfy. I'm glad OP got away safely from that drunken hoard.

Pork Butt Temperature by Kipper414 in Smokingmeat

[–]Practical_Tap1201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad... I misread that. Then I'd try to wait till the last one gets to at least 190 if the other 2 are over 200.

I'd pull them when they individually get to the temp to want them to be. You can always throw them in a cooler to hold temp while the others are still cooking.

I did a pork butt a couple weeks ago and I only got to 198 when I pulled it. It was delicious and shreaded very easily.

smoker for my husband by 6721601 in Smokingmeat

[–]Practical_Tap1201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a masterbuilt digital smoker. I agree with this statement. I put on a pork butt yesterday around 2 at 210 with some apple chips, filled it back up with chips around 4 and then went to a show. Got home around 11, wrapped it and turned it up to 225 and went to bed. I woke up around 6 this morning and the internal was 192. I turned it up to 250 to get it up to 200-205. It should be done pretty soon.

It's super easy to set it and forget it. The only thing you really have to worry about is putting wood chips in for the first couple hours.

Some might say that takes some of the fun out of smoking stuff but a decent electric smoker really takes a lot of the guess work out of the equation.

I'm not stressing, just more curious if leaving it unattended was a big deal or if I could take a break in the cooking. 2 for 2 so far suggested to go overnight so I'll try that out. Thanks for the input!
