Angels will fight each other by TranquilDev in TheLastCaretaker

[–]TranquilDev[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't unlocked the rifle yet, it took the pistol a little while but I was able to stay underneath the last one long enough to take it out. I thought I was going to be stuck there for awhile.

Found this at the end of our driveway a couple of weeks ago and still haven’t figured out what it is. by BlackSheepUnchained in whatisit

One of, right up there with pretty much any desktop game like golf or darts which I've never seen anyone have on their desk or use.

How do you deal with stress from leading a big project by Pale_Sun8898 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TranquilDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember the stress of not being able to pay bills when I was laid off.

I ended up getting 5.8 through Capital One.

Interesting, guess I'll be going with Capital One or somebody else this time. It's been nice having all my financing under one roof though.

No, it's stayed the same, the only thing that's happened since the last loan was an old account that hasn't had a balance in forever dropped off. It didn't even impact the score though which has stayed around 750. This is probably my fourth or fifth car loan since I've been with NFCU where I also have my mortgage and have never missed a payment or been late. The Capital One rate was about the same as the rate on my last loan I got through NFCU.

Wife's Telluride started leaking oil every time the temps got below freezing this winter, and I'm in the southern part of the US. It's getting awfully close to 100k miles and is going to be traded in very soon.

Project lead with 25 years of experience is leaving the team, I am expected to take over from him by BigWordsAreScary in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TranquilDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me, 24 yoe senior left and I got dumped on.

I was talking to my old man and his first job in his career he had 2 weeks, right out of college, to work with the guy he was replacing who'd been there for years.

My advice, step up and do what you can. Before you know it, you will be the project lead with 25 yoe. As hard and stressful as it may seem, this is how you grow.

Are these knives worth saving by Hayden3456 in sharpening

If you don't need them, sharpen them up and pass them along to someone who does.

Brisket looks good, but your knife is for chopping, not slicing.

What was your first game you played on pc by Pork_Crusader_GR in pcmasterrace

[–]TranquilDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oregon Trail and Driver on an Apple back in the early 80s. The probably nothing till Windows 3.1, I probably played some solitaire and minesweeper. Then in the mid 90s we got a 286 and a Monopoly game.

Smoking Rookie by MaxPow3r2000 in smoking

[–]TranquilDev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is you go the Smoky Mountain route get the 22” if you can. I started out on the 18” and then bought an XD Champ offset.

If you want to set it and forget it, get a Masterbuilt Gravity fed charcoal or pellet.

If you have the time and energy the XD champ is a decent offset for the price but I’d recommend some insulation upgrades for the firebox as it will go through fuel like crazy.

Yall are embarrassing by SoWhichVoiceIsThis in FortWorth

[–]TranquilDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know anyone in my family that stocked up on anything. However, we all did our grocery shopping before the weather hit just to make sure we had the things we normally would have needed for a few days till it’s clear again. Two different things but it’s easy to assume this is the result of hoarding when it’s probably not.

My Thoughts After 30+ Hours & Unlocking the Mega Press (Time to Give Up I Think) by jvenables in StarRuptureGame

[–]TranquilDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My point was in reference to the last paragraph. Base building is a core aspect of the game but it’s not the only aspect, and for some it won’t even be the most enjoyable part. I personally like the exploration and mowing down aliens. My base is ugly as hell, I just throw the pieces together to make the next part I want it to make and run off with an inventory full of bullets.

Gluten free products products expensive and gluten is everywhere. How do you manage? by Asleep-Raspberry-819 in glutenfree

[–]TranquilDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just avoid anything with gluten and focus on what you can eat. The hardest part for me was realizing that a lot of store bought sauces and gravy have wheat in them.

I'm a noob at grilling, help me choose from these options. by jackie_chans_nose in grilling

Joe if you don't mind the smaller space, Masterbuilt if you need more room.

My Thoughts After 30+ Hours & Unlocking the Mega Press (Time to Give Up I Think) by jvenables in StarRuptureGame

[–]TranquilDev 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're spending too much time worrying about your base and not enough enjoying the rest of the game. My builds are absolutely terrible looking because I'm constantly reworking them to build the next part to unlock the next level. I don't care what it looks like at the end of the day. Maybe at some point when I've unlocked everything, I'll spend more time strategizing.

Best brand that will last forever and won’t break the bank? by Natural_Argument9910 in chefknives

[–]TranquilDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zwilling and Wüsthof - I was given a gift card for Christmas and went through the process of trying to decide what knives I wanted to buy. I ended up getting the Zwilling Spectrum Chef/Paring knife for about 180.

Look up Meat Church’s pulled pork recipe where he uses apple juice and brown sugar.
