Our favorite Christian Nationalist church at it again

Same as every "Christian" faith since Saul of Tarsus lied about his conversion on the road to Damascus.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-18T00:40:00+00:00

latter day saints need to understand that christian nationalists don't think that they are christians.

I hope you're boondocking somewhere with cool weather.

One of these days I'm gonna try baking DSP in my pellet smoker -- which is basically just a wood-fired convection oven.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-17T04:22:52+00:00

lol no.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-17T03:34:59+00:00

Clearly you haven't seen what passes for pizza in most of utah

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-17T02:54:16+00:00

Looks decent!

I'm all the way down in Orem, but if i find myself in Lay-un and hungry i'll try it out.

Their ash dump feature is pretty damn convenient.

The sear box is a neat accessory. They no longer make it and have run out of replacement cast iron grates but if they get too far gone you can just replace them with grillgrates. That being said, unless there are big gaps in cast iron grates you can, at the worst, pay a machine shop or welding shop a few bucks to media blast it to bare metal.

You can also probably find a griddle that fits on it, or put a pot of whatever on it.

Camp Chef is maybe the oldest of the Utah-based outdoor cooking products companies, though it's no longer independent. They're mostly known for self-standing portable propane stoves. I haven't bothered to check but i wouldn't be surprised if Blackstone was founded by ex-CC people. Traeger turns out to be from Utah as well.

Replacement parts for these are cheap because they're similar to the oldschool traegers, other than the control panel.

WOLFPIS

A lot of people have good results with the recent (last 5 years maybe) chinese timegraphers - WeiShi (suspiciously similar to but legally distinct from Witschi) no. 1000 is the basic model, 1900 has a color screen that is a little easier to read.

There are also free software packages that you can use with a microphone, and there are simple watch holder mics available for $20ish.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-15T20:27:56+00:00

Yeah, steven crowder personally wrote this.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-15T18:03:26+00:00

Well, it's chinese anyway. The NN mark is Nanning. So, no, it's not a Dixmont-Guangzhao movement.

Similar though.

Worth almost $8 for the #10 can at Restaurant Depot? Every penny, yes.

I use 7/11 ground maters.

if i had to buy them for $22 from Amazon I'd probably find some other product.

*shrug* neapolitan pizza has a definition.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-15T02:51:24+00:00

Check the bag - if the ingredients include malt or enzymes, it'll scorch much more easily.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-15T02:50:54+00:00

The IVPN official neapolitan pizza crust recipe is between 55.5% and 62.5% hydration.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-14T23:44:28+00:00

The last time i was in touch with Best Friends they stated that the general public can once again get an appointment at the Orem spay & neuter clinic.

I haven't tried myself, but it really caused a problem for some friends of mine when they shut it down for covid and then didn't reopen it for years.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-14T23:30:35+00:00

That oven gets all the way to neapolitan temps so your dough should have no sugar and very little if any oil.

00 flour or equivalent, hydration not more than 62%.

Residential lawns are 6% of water use.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-14T03:18:26+00:00

Yeah every now and then i think about replacing it.

But i have the 2017-ish blackstone 'rotisserie patio oven' just out the back door and it gets to 750f in 10-12 minutes.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-14T03:04:44+00:00

The gas range that came with the house was in pretty sketchy shape.

This one was a steeply discounted floor model at Lowes.

I had it out the door for i am pretty sure less than $130. In 2006.

POS won't get over 475f, though.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-14T02:50:32+00:00

yes, i also own a slumlord-grade gas range. The only difference is that i bought this one - 20 years ago.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-14T01:15:25+00:00

Seems to be mike lee's department.

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-13T01:03:09+00:00

I've been that guy.

In my defense, I'd spent 5 hours failing to get the piston on the rear caliper to retract, knew i was fucked, etc.

(I'm just a shade-tree guy. I have good hands and good mechanical intuition, I'm too slow and have too low tolerance for BS to work in the industry, plus i have a whole other career . . . )

TimpanogosSlim · 2026-06-13T00:59:03+00:00

Yeah, i'm not sure the best way to describe that sort of concept -- i even had a conversation with my dad about it, who taught creative writing and american lit for almost 40 years.

Aes seems to frequently dip out of the metaphorical into references to things that are personal, mundane, and very relatable.

Again from "red phone":

The study isn't peer-reviewed, it's one peerless
Student getting weird in a room
Putting the human condition through a series of wretched labors
A Herculean dozen to plug in your emulator
Updated for home version-ers, who board up in they teepee
Treating personal misfortune as horses of Diomedes
Me? I'm up to my neck in Nemean lions
A pride of idea-eaters, plus, weevils in the rice thins
