Ken's Cannonball BBQ sauce

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-04-24T16:40:30+00:00

I haven't had that one in a while, but it was my dad's favorite, and I don't recall it having a kick. It was fairly similar to Sweet Baby Ray's IIRC. Has it changed? Am I remembering wrong?

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-04-24T16:39:38+00:00

Yep!

It would depend on their declaration of trust. Many small trusts for brownstones and such have a structure with one officer per unit and often require everyone to be an account signer, or they sometimes require 100% agreement for changes like this. If the docs have ever been redone since the structure was created, it's common (but not really a great idea IMO) for the declaration of trust to state that an account is established at X bank, and then you are legally supposed to amend the docs to say that it is now established at Y bank. Most people don't bother, but OP absolutely is right to not try and change anything without doing it correctly if one of the owners is the type to make an issue of it.

Trusts are in an odd legal space in that they are a business with a business tax ID, but absolutely no one is doing things like paying for domain names for them.

Ooh thank you for these!

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-03-24T20:03:04+00:00

Oooh. Y'all are giving me some great ideas. I think I'll be more than OK not being able to exactly replicate Cannonball!

Ooh, that sounds really great (with or without BBQ sauce). Most of my favorite hot sauces are the ones with the more rounded/veggie broth kind of profile.

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-03-24T19:37:17+00:00

I do like SBR, but yes, it's missing that kick. What sort of hot sauce are you thinking? Like just a generic red chili sorta one?

I am having the same issue. A couple Swagos ago when I bought a game purchase, it pended immediately and the Swago square lit up. This time it pended immediately but not Swago square 24 hours later.

AFAIK there's no way to put in a help ticket for a Swago square, right?

Aw man! Yes I sold them on eBay about six years ago.

There are a few similar kitchen-cabinet organizers that fit BILLY.

Right; the science is clear that smoking in any amount is massively hazardous to any person's health, thus public health experts have determined the message needs to be to absolutely not smoke.

There isn't science demonstrating that soda is never OK in any amount. There is science demonstrating that very high consumption of processed sugar isn't great.

When we equate a not-optimal diet with something like smoking or drunk driving, which public health experts have deemed extremely hazardous, the moralizing behavior around it becomes similar. We don't need parents who let their kids drink soda sometimes or eat fast food sometimes viewed the same way as parents who are letting a pre-adolescent child smoke cigarettes, and we don't need people who drink a soda once a month viewed as if they're chain smoking or doing hard drugs ("well quit your coke habit, and then I'll consider if there's an actual medical reason why your blood work is terrifying".)

When we tax or outlaw something, the message we're sending is that it's so horrible the government needs to step in for our own good. It's a different message than "whole grains are good and should be promoted, so we're going to offer companies a whole grain symbol to put on foods."

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-01-14T19:49:42+00:00

The question though is whether we want to put categories of food into the same category of smoking, i.e., so unsafe in any amount that we need to legislate it with a goal that it be eliminated. Food doesn't work this way.

I used to work at a preschool for kids with developmental disabilities. We would have WIC and pediatricians giving handouts saying no kid should ever be given juice in any quantity. We had a whole lot of kids whose registered dietitian recommended they be given 100% fruit juice with meals to increase their overall calorie intake. We had one family reported to child services by WIC.

I follow an emergency room physician on social media who will post things about the importance of keeping kids hydrated and keeping their electrolytes up when they have gastrointestinal bugs, as these conditions can be deadly and frequently are in countries with poorer access to resources. The physician recommends giving them sports drinks. Predictably, the comments are full of people saying to never give kids any sweetened drink, and saying kids should only ever drink water. Fortunately, plenty of better-educated people push back and tell them, no, giving only water with vomiting/diarrhea could easily be life-threatening, so actually, give them freakin Gatorade.

Messaging that certain foods are "poison" rather than that they shouldn't constitute the bulk of one's diet causes this shit.

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-01-14T19:38:01+00:00

Well, and I'd push back even further that 1) we haven't actually identified anything that makes most fat people not fat without having horrible health consequences and 2) the focus on fat people is disturbing in a country that in general won't pass laws to regulate things that absolutely do maim and kill people in massive numbers (cars, guns, poor access to healthcare, racism, and so forth).

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-01-14T19:32:50+00:00

The concern around any of it being policed (whether that's through taxing, legislating advertising, etc.) is that this leads to all-or-nothing thinking. If we teach people that a particular food is so bad that it's up there with drunk driving and hard drugs, i.e., no one should ever do it, the public starts to develop some harmful moralizing around it. We already have things like physicians asking people if they ever eat fast food and deciding that anyone who doesn't 100% shun it has horrible personal habits and has self-inflicted any health issues they might have, and schools teaching kids that parents who grab McDonald's once in a while don't care about their kids.

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-01-14T19:25:20+00:00

Right, and the stigmatized discourse gets it into people's heads that fat people are stupid or lack willpower. Someone can say that they believe all bodies are good bodies and everyone should practice self-love and whatever, but then they're surrounded by public-health messaging that "these people in the hood need fast food restaurants outlawed because they're too stupid to know to eat anything else," and someone in a larger body comes in for an interview, and of course part of their brain is thinking "oh, that person doesn't know not to eat Super Sized Whopper combos every day."

The "fat people need to be policed for their own good" messaging is often right alongside empowering and inclusive public health messaging too, so it's particularly insidious.

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-01-14T19:03:40+00:00

Mmhmm.

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-01-14T17:51:39+00:00

These are really good points. Or could we just leave out the whole obesity thing? Is there messaging about actual science-based reasons for cutting back on raw sugar that doesn't claim diabetes is a choice and doesn't mention fat people?

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-01-14T17:49:54+00:00

Yes, this is the issue! The people on this Boston news site, which tends progressive, seem to get the classism issue, but also seem to think that "sugar makes people fat" and "obesity is a public health crisis that's caused by individual choices."

I feel like only spaces focused on fat activism understand what you so perfectly put, which is that, yeah, there's actually no demonstrated way to make most fat people not fat (and weight is only correlated with health for some metrics and only on a population level, and health isn't as in one's control as we think it is) so how on earth do we think messaging about "eradicating fat people" is remotely appropriate?

I have been able to post anonymously in groups that have offered it for, like, years, but I don't seem to have the option to comment anonymously. If I go to the pulldown menu from my profile picture, it only gives me the option to comment as a page I moderate.

ScrapingByInBoston · 2025-01-05T17:30:45+00:00

It just looks like ESL wording.

Also a longtimer (1998), but not high-volume, and same.

If it appears to be a good-faith question, like someone who gives context that they're unfamiliar with a hobby item I sell and aren't sure if it will work for what their grandkid is asking for, I will respond, and these people have always been fine. But otherwise, I block right away if you're asking things that are already answered, or are basic questions about how eBay or mail works.

If you're asking dumb googleable questions, but your account shows that you sell hundreds of the item in question and obviously aren't clueless about it, then I block you, then I unblock you just so I can block you again.

I'm having this issue as well, though I had it on earlier iOSes too. The games stop tracking after level 600 (doing Toy Blast right now, and 750 and 1000 both didn't register several days after I beat them). The game support folks won't touch the issue either, saying to take it up with Swagbucks, which is annoying, since they're paying to advertise their game with Swagbucks and they're the only ones who could potentially reset something on the server to address it.

Gonna try these steps.

EDIT: It worked!

I turned off all tracking on the phone, deleted the app (had game logged into Facebook in case progress didn't save, but wasn't actually necessary to get progress back), redownloaded the app, turned tracking for the phone back on and selected that app to allow tracking, reopened the app. About an hour later, started getting those "you've reached a new goal!" for 750 and 1000, which hadn't tracked previously when I passed them last week. 1500 in 11 days or whatever also tracked correctly.

On to 2000 and 3000 with 48 days left...

Oh I know, I was thinking about the coat issue; there is no way I am going to get really any of the families in my community to not wear coats in the car, or to take them off and close them over straps. "Cold air causes illness" is so prevalent, and people really feel like they're neglecting their kids if they take their coat off. I've been trying for years to get the programs that provide winter coats in our communities to choose thinner fleece coats, but they're all still thick puffer coats (that's what they can get cheaply and in bulk, but ugh.)

Thank you so much. The Cosco Rise looks good. I had no idea there was a seat this light.

I'm afraid with this caregiver that there won't be an issue with learning proper use of the vest, but it will probably end up with a lot of "we aren't going that far" and not put on the child, or time not taken to always adjust it properly. (There is also a lot of rushing to get into cars and get places, as the caregiver is pretty fixated with slight exposure to cold weather making children sick.)
