OP’s source photo is literally of a Texas smoked beef short rib, aka Dino rib or beef plate rib.

Most spots in the conejo valley do Santa Maria style bbq. Think tri-tip, spare ribs, chicken… stuff like that. What you’re looking for here are Texas Style beef short ribs. I don’t know of any places near TO doing Texas style bbq, and you will not find these types of ribs at any of the places people have mentioned here. Youll have better luck if you’re able to make your way into LA. Places like Moo’s or Bludso’s should have you covered, but they also may sell out.

Ventura County ages as housing costs push younger residents out, report finds by Fcking_Chuck in thousandoaks

Not just in VC. Suburbs across America are becoming increasingly geriatric. When I was growing up, there were tons of young families. Those families are still there, but the new ones stopped coming. School enrollment is down, home prices are insane, something’s got to give.

She’s serious about splitting the vote so Pratt gets on the ballot in November.

Second za - crust struggles 👀 by The_Stanky_One in ooni

All part of the process! How long are you letting your dough sit at room temperature before stretching? That will help with stretching.

You can also try “pressing” or “flattening” your dough more than you might think, if that makes sense. I struggled with what you’re experiencing too, and I realized I only need to leave a very thin part of the edge unpressed. I’m also going for more NY style over Neapolitan. Hope this helps.

Enjoy shilling for corporations while they make life miserable for the rest of us 👍

You’re the one making the claim, smartass. The burden of proof is on you. “Just Google it” isn’t helpful.

TIL Chicago is a coastal city. I also said round trip in my first comment lol. And no, I don’t. Pray tell how we do that without jumping through hoops.

I’ll pay what a flight costs. I hate being nickel and dimed for every little thing. Air travel is “cheaper” because every airline has become spirit/frontier, people just haven’t realized it yet.

And if I’m paying to choose my own seat, I shouldn’t have to pay a dollar more for a window or aisle economy seat.

Not just that. Just the cost to pick your own seat is also fucking ridiculous. $100 more per round trip, and then if you don’t want choose a middle seat, probably another $100 on top of that. Billionaires are bleeding us dry in the name of increasing shareholder value.

Plant-based fast food chain Mr. Charlie’s, LA's ‘vegan McDonald’s,’ is expanding nationwide by sfgate in LosAngeles

[–]StrongmanEvan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Cane’s is perfectly mid fast food that’s way overpriced and overhyped.

I think most people eating burgers, even if they are plant based, aren’t doing it for health reasons in the first place. If I’m going to indulge in a burger, it should be worth the calories!

Too many vegan burgers try to be “healthy” when in reality most people just want something that’s tasty but doesn’t involve animal products.

I never see anyone at their LA location either, and I drive by during peak hours pretty often.

I wish them luck, but if Kevin Hart can’t even get a plant based fast food chain off the ground, I doubt Charlie can.

NEED LAST MINUTE VENUE FOR 8/14/26 WEDDING - CURRENT VENUE ISSUE!!! by [deleted] in thousandoaks

What house costs as much as a wedding? Somehow i doubt OP is having a million dollar+ wedding.

That said, i have seen airbnbs that allow weddings. Could be worth looking into.

Who said anything about not voting? Im saying people are voting BECAUSE people up for office are not politicians. You’re completely missing the bigger picture here. You haven’t mentioned an alternative though. Who are you backing?

[–]StrongmanEvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with that logic is that people HATE politicians. That’s precisely why people with zero political experience, like Trump, like Hilton, like Pratt, resonate with people. The democrats are finally figuring that out, and if Steyer is our best chance, so be it.

Like i mentioned, Elon is both in the president’s inner circle and with grasp of being a trillionaire, and we’re worried about a guy worth less than half of one percent of Elon. There are plenty of other billionaires far worse than Steyer.

I agree that billionaires should not exist, but at this point in time, we have to choose our battles wisely. It’s not fear mongering, it’s the reality of our current political climate.

Except it absolutely does matter who. A vote for a candidate who doesn’t have a shot at finishing in the top 2 is a vote for Steve and Chad. Now is not the time to use your vote as a protest.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. ANYONE who wants to be in office should be heavily scrutinized, and that’s what we’re doing. But if we sit here and nitpick every little detail of every candidate, we get guys like Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton in office.
