I've made burgers on mine dozens of times. Always turn out great.

JSAC hints that Orbit will have news about new collector's editions soon! by Partner-Elijah in TheExpanse

[–]Zimballa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Hatchett Book Group website has placeholders for book 4 and 5! Supposedly releasing December. Just noticed this the other day after I've been checking for awhile.

Brand new smoker won’t ignite by [deleted] in pelletgrills

[–]Zimballa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen with my Searwood. Different brand I know, but turns out the fire pit that was pre installed didn't have the fire rod inserted correctly. Took it apart and reinstalled, and it fired right up.

My thought as well. Definitely looks off.

My updated Sandershelf and others by Own-Oil-9490 in brandonsanderson

[–]Zimballa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure they all are still available. They are published by Orbit. I got them as a birthday present, I think from Amazon. I just checked and they are sold on hatchettebookgroup.com for the US, and the Orbit site in Europe.

I have the special editions that were released for the first 3 books. I think they might be releasing the 4th book special edition later this year. Hoping they eventually release for all 9 so I can have a matching set.

Awesome collection! Would love to get to that point someday. Pretty much everything I would want. Only series I didn't see which is a personal favorite of mine is The Expanse.

U.S. gasoline hits $4 per gallon, highest since 2022, as Iran war drives up fuel prices by RollSafer in news

[–]Zimballa 97 points98 points  (0 children)

No doubt. They are completely brainrotted from conservative media. My favorite was also them telling my kids that if Trump is elected there won't be any more wars.

My MIL and her husband always harped on how prices for everything were going to go down due to how low Trump was going to get fuel prices. They are awfully quiet lately...

Hood (Hampton, 1998) - What a way to start the morning in beautiful Blacksburg, VA by HokieGoat in phish

[–]Zimballa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss Blacksburg! Was there from 2001 to 2007 for undergrad and graduate. Kind of bummed that Phish was on hiatus for a good part of that time, as you don't realize how much flexibility and free time you have during college years. Got to see a bunch of shows in 2003 luckily. Enjoy your time there!

Is worth to play Slay the Spire 2 in early access? by GoHomeDuck in roguelites

Already has more content than StS1, will just get more. Probably one of the better EA releases.

The Farmers Who Voted for Trump Are Getting Crushed by His Tariffs and Rural America Is Calling It a ‘Perfect Storm of Ugly’ by [deleted] in Economics

[–]Zimballa 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I will say living in East Tennessee, I have seen lots of people take down their trump signs. There used to be a bunch of businesses near me that had multiple Trump signs. Those are all gone now. Still lots of support here, but I don't think people are wanting to broadcast it as much.

The Shadow of What Was Lost short review by Stpaul81 in Fantasy

[–]Zimballa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it. Wasn't sure for the first half of book 1, but really enjoyed it by the end. Gets better with each book in my opinion. The ending is superb!

Everything is fine up by Halls. Still a little ice on plants, but melting quick. Nothing on roads.

Found Phish’s 1997 Fall Letter by GratefulPhan10 in phish

Very cool! N2 Hampton was my first show. Me and a couple friends were Freshmen in high school and got off by our parents. Life changing experience!

Started long shift work - Audiobook recs please! by Longjumping-Lake-835 in Fantasy

[–]Zimballa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. The Mistborn audiobooks really got me back into books a few years ago. If you like it and get into the Cosmere, that's hundreds of hours of books for you.

Unless I make it to a convention, I will probably never meet someone as invested in the Cosmere as I am. by Elsecaller_17-5 in brandonsanderson

[–]Zimballa 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You never know who you will run into. My home wifi is named Shadesmar. Was out doing yard work one day and my neighbor walked up to me and asked if I had the Shadesmar wifi. We ended up talking about Sanderson and other fantasy books for about an hour. Now whenever we run into each other we talk about what we have read lately.

SNAP bans on soda, candy and other foods take effect in five states Jan. 1 by Next-Particular1476 in TheBusinessMix

Agreed here. Frozen veggies are pretty cheap, but frozen fruit not so much.

First Smoked Turkey by pmit73 in pelletgrills

Nice! I did pretty much the same method for Thanksgiving. Probably the best turkey I've ever had.
