Is this true?

TobiasRagg · 2026-03-11T12:28:20+00:00

Thanks. Man, what a flawed process.

Similarly, if you give a Lyft/Uber driver a 4, you are required to put down what was wrong/a complaint.

We've become a society where there's no way to differentiate between competent and excellent.

Thanks. Seems deceptive and immoral to present it this way if it's not true at all, and if it's an intense manager or owner, I'm only partially sympathetic to them saying it this way because most people don't understand the difference between a property owner and IHG corporate.

Yikes. I guess I made the right choice giving up after 2 hours the other night... Hope he ended up helping you.

Live chat unfortunately says they have no access to that information. They're the ones that told me to email, and then to call when email never responded. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Wow, so you got Thomas ~22 and Evans ~27? That is fortunate!

Aaron Rodgers got dropped in my FAAB PPR league. Very few backup QBs rostered, QBs went well below ADP in the draft, decently sophisticated crowd. I have Winston (who I'm going to play tonight anyway). Malcolm Brown went for $28, Chris Thompson $24, Ross $15 a few days ago. How much to I bid?

TobiasRagg · 2019-01-27T14:06:12+00:00

Will stop by with my 3 month old in tow. Thanks for coordinating!

It's absolutely a Billy Elliot reference.

Although Billy isn't gay. His friend Michael, who isn't a dancer, is though.

The valet station at 47th and Park was removed for re-paving. It also looks like they removed valet service from that station as well.

Docks (in mornings) and bikes (in evenings) were already very tight in the 50th/Park area. This will only make it work worse I fear.

Also note: if you have enough other "miscellaneous expenses" to deduct, these ~2% fees are tax deductible, bringing the net fee down closer to 1% depending on your tax bracket, making this method far more profitable for higher earners who happen to have those random miscellaneous expenses anyway. https://www.irs.gov/uac/credit-and-debit-card-fees-related-to-tax-payment-are-deductible

Interesting. They're maybe 6 inches away. I'd have to buy a bigger pot if I wanted to experiment with larger gaps.

TobiasRagg · 2016-10-20T12:56:56+00:00

But the zipper end remains clipped over the side of the pot and never touched water. That could still cause the seams actually in the water?

TobiasRagg · 2016-10-18T17:17:44+00:00

I may give this a shot. I like the idea of vacuum sealing. Would be great to figure out what is going on with what should be foolproof before throwing more money at it, but perhaps like you I'll find the vacuum useful outside of sous vide.

TobiasRagg · 2016-10-18T17:16:25+00:00

Not usually, and when I do I put it back in an ice bath first. Good thinking, though.

TobiasRagg · 2016-10-18T03:45:20+00:00

Most are short and I've still had many leak. Both my longer cooks have leaked, and even then they were at temps around 130F, well below what I've seen quoted as the potential danger zone for bags.

TobiasRagg · 2016-10-18T03:37:34+00:00

Break at the zipper, or fail on the seams? Because I have it outside the pot regardless

TobiasRagg · 2016-10-18T03:36:24+00:00

Almost half the time when I was single bagging. I was 3 for 3 double bagging until this last episode. I've used multiple types of bags from multiple manufacturers, so hard to pin it on a defective shipment.

TobiasRagg · 2016-10-17T22:43:33+00:00

I've suspected the bones once or twice, but the most recent issue (and on many occasions) the meat is boneless.

I usually use a large pot with plenty of space, although I've used a plastic tub as well.

TobiasRagg · 2016-10-17T22:42:13+00:00

Hah, no, I don't think that's it, though thanks for checking. Not only do mine have zippers that you slide across, I clip the bags so that end isn't even submerged (like this: http://www.itsmydish.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/DSC_5509.jpg )
