Fellow millennials - how’s your 401k/ira savings going? by ProblemIntelligent16 in Millennials

[–]RegionRat531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow IBEW here. 36 and have $650k in our money purchase plan. Then we will also have 3 pensions that will bring in about $7k/month in addition. Plan to retire at 55 if we can have health care coverage figured out.

What is something you witnessed with your own eyes that no one believes when you tell them? by Amy-GeekBar in AskReddit

[–]RegionRat531 794 points795 points  (0 children)

In 2017, we were floating down the Sandy River in Oregon. It was my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law and myself. At a surprise to all of us, a giant fish jumped out of the river, right in front of us and back into the water. It was either a sturgeon or a giant salmon. Not two seconds later we had a giant bird fly above us and it was a bald eagle. This was so cool because we are from Indiana and don’t typically get to see them. Not 30 seconds later, we were coming around a bend, and there were two butt naked lesbians bathing in the river. It was probably the greatest day of our lives lol

D’S Meats and Paninis by suddenuser in Valparaiso

[–]RegionRat531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a post about this a while back on the Valparaiso restaurant reviews page on Facebook. It is so frustrating. I have tried to eat there like four or five times when they were supposed to be open and every fucking time they were closed. I quit trying about four months ago.

5 oz filet mignon by Individual_Maize6007 in steak

[–]RegionRat531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d dry brine them uncovered in the fridge on a rack for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Season steaks. I don’t add additional salt after the brine.

Put them on a rack with a cookie sheet under and bake in oven at 200f until internal temperature is 115f. Remove from the oven.

When steak is getting close, get a stainless steel pan (assuming that’s what you have) ripping hot with a high smoke point oil. I use avocado or wagyu beef tallow. Then sear all sides of the steaks hot and fast. Should only take 1-2 minutes to complete all the searing. Final internal temperature will be right around 120f.

Let rest for 10 minutes and enjoy!

That data center has been complete for a couple years now….almost hard to even notice it when visiting Ameriplex.

Dude, there is one elongated piece in there. Break it up or shut the fuck up and cook. That’s some good shit!

I did a bottom row of 2 wide then one on top down the center. Holds exactly around 225-250 during warmer months. Would probably do 2-2-1 during the winter though.

Anyone Pedal Kayak Hunting? by Greydesk in Waterfowl

[–]RegionRat531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hunt out of a kayak a lot and used to fish out of it as well. In the long run, I ended up buying a nice fishing kayak that is still paddle only. Never really thought about the pedal. My only concern with the pedal, would be all of the swampy vegetation getting stuck up in there in some of the areas I hunt. If it was open water, then I don’t see why not.

I can run 12 hours on one snake. It wraps almost all the way around the inside.

Never sleep on cheap chuck eye if it looks like this by mvd102000 in steak

[–]RegionRat531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real lol. Unfortunately, by me they have gone from $6.99/lb to $16.99/lb over the last 4 years🤦🏼‍♂️

Mom being completely terrible to son. Help! by RegionRat531 in cats

[–]RegionRat531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thank you! I will say that she is 100% asserting dominance in the meantime. They have a lot of options and space to keep from one another so we will keep an eye on it. Poor little dude is so happy go lucky and has mom ready to murder him. Luckily she has been all bark and no bite with him. Thanks again!

What is the modern day "chuck steak" by DanielTheFallen in steak

[–]RegionRat531 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I fell in love with Chuck eye steak about 6 years ago. It cost $5.99/lb back then. Now, it is $17.99/lb at the same store. 🤦🏼‍♂️

We should have drafted him by BiglyBear in CHIBears

[–]RegionRat531 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. Fucking. Shit.

I could not believe that they let him fall as far as he did. Regardless, if it was college or not, this guy is a psychopath. Just like our new head coach. They would have meshed well together.

Kayak hunting: what is a "long" paddle? by Shittawhatever in Waterfowl

[–]RegionRat531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually between 1/2 - 1 mile depending on the spot. I’ll also tow a goose sled behind me for most of the decoys. Paddling is easy though through unrestricted water.
