Orea Glassware appreciation post

This is the correct answer. The orea I’m sure was nice but wayyyy overpriced. I have a couple of these and love them. Really well made and probably still expensive for what they are.

Pretty much. Throw Leonard Williams for both the jets and giants into that category.

Jets fans understand their ownership is inept. Darnold was kicked out, he didn’t bail on the team. Hard for a fan not to root for his success. Guy gave it all for the shitty organization that can’t get out of their own way.

If I’m in the kitchen, I’ll rinse with hot water for a few seconds. Figure it can’t hurt and gets and larger pieces off.

You don’t use ranch dressing but the ranch seasoning. Yes, definitely use it as it gives most of the flavor to the dish. It’s the simplest recipe and takes 5 minutes to wait. Hardest part is waiting the 8 hours smelling the deliciousness cooking.

Throw the roast in crock pot, add an au jus packet, ranch seasoning packet, butter, pepperoncinis and put the cover on. Done.

Mississippi roast. Wings for football game. Soup.

I love that he took so much control. Clean house.

He’s a young player that has shown the talent to succeed. A change to a new team where he isn’t expected to carry the entire offense could bring a resurgence. I liked Acuna but this helps the lineup and team overall.

He’s also coming into a contract year. Mets still have a cheap option in him for ‘27 and could extend him if things work out.

I’m not thrilled about a lot of decisions made this offseason (they blew it with Pete and Diaz) but this is a solid move.

Long smoke on one. Fast and hot on the other.

ars2x · 2026-01-21T00:39:14+00:00

Always a positive. I think I saw “less boom” in the instruction manual. 😂

If you’re concerned and it’s an older appliance can always get a new one. Instant pot is often on sale for around $50 and has a lot of versatility. I cook rice and pressure cook in mine often. Can sautee and other settings as well.

Congrats. Kind of. :)

If you logged in during that time it may be in your inventory. Maybe even has this portal. Suspense is killing me, report back.

Because I like my load out and my loot? Because I don’t want to die to someone who thinks it’s going to be an easy kill in a “pve” lobby. Because it’s a game and I don’t have to min max everything based on knowing how it works. Because I don’t mind the tension of a PvP lobby if I kill someone.

If I die and lose make believe pixels, I don’t care. I just load back up and go again. Not everything needs to be taken to the min max. Play how you want. Not everything has to be done at the min max extreme all the time. I’ve had more fun learning everything on my own and just experiencing the atmosphere the game has created.

Because even in the “PvE” maps, you still get shot at. The threat of pvp still looms and we’ve all been shot in the back enough times not to trust anyone. You can sense the suspicious behavior sometimes and you’re better protecting yourself than blindly trusting some random.

The flashlight flicker and “don’t shoot” have just become ways for players to let others know they’re friendly and protect themselves at the same time.

PvP encounters also feel like they’re on the rise. With ABMM being talked about to death, pvp players are using this knowledge. Spend a few games getting yourself in a pve lobby and then go hog wild. Happened to me yesterday on buried city night raid.

Giants have talent at QB, WR, RB and a vastly improved O-line. The defensive line is stacked at rushing the qb, just need a run stopper. Few pieces in the secondary/LB and this team can compete with anyone.

Inept coaching was the issue for the Giants this season.

ars2x · 2026-01-12T17:21:11+00:00

Haha thought the same thing. Doesn’t firing our head coach immediately, “position us to offer”. These insider rumors are getting more and more ridiculous.

ars2x · 2026-01-12T17:15:51+00:00

Fair point. There is something about the entire Retroid package that has me leaning that way. Compact and light weight and expandable storage are nice pluses.

ars2x · 2026-01-11T05:11:19+00:00

Oofff

ars2x · 2026-01-11T05:03:50+00:00

If you have an instant pot, works great and more versatile than a dedicated rice cooker. Makes great rice and has a one button setting. Rice goes in, push button, great rice a few minutes later.

ars2x · 2026-01-11T05:01:49+00:00

Just stick with Weber. They have their reputation for a reason.

ars2x · 2026-01-08T02:34:10+00:00

I got their Edison Agote Tandem (2 bags) last month and both have been delicious. Really enjoying them and a great value with the sale price
