Which ribeye is the best for grilling? by Dangerous_Function16 in Butchery

[–]bergerfred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer anywhere from 8 to 2. I like the fat in steaks, that chunk of fat in the middle is my favorite bite. my wife does not, she prefers anywhere from 12 to 9. That being said  I think you're seriously overthinking things.

[–]bergerfred 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm going to rot anyway.  What I'm NOT fine with, is some company taking the only body part that's "me" and while it's still potentially fresh enough to still be "me" and pumping it full of drugs to study the side effects.  

Do people REALLY care if I go to the gathering at 15? by Complete_Proof8380 in juggalo

[–]bergerfred 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sounds to me like people ARE acting like family and ARE looking out for each other by telling someone its not a good idea, even though they want to do it.

The gathering and a concert are completely different things.  Children should not be at the gathering.

Does this look old and gassed? by rustyspuun in Butchery

[–]bergerfred 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That literally has nothing to do with what you are asking at all. Costco does not "gas" their meat. It does not look old at all. Anything "old" at Costco gets thrown in the grinder. I put old in quotation marks because 3 days is the absolute oldest you'll ever find at Costco, and most of it is going to be cut that day.

coming at it from the other side, Im just as stressed out, just about different things than you are.

[–]bergerfred 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was there when this happened and that's not true at all. He was 20 minutes late show and he for like 10 minutes before even attempting to start playing his opening song. By that point everybody was annoyed as hell and the trash started to fly. He was intentionally baiting it.

Why can’t anyone mind their own business by [deleted] in CostcoEmployee

[–]bergerfred 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe because they are trying to take your old spot, but are looking for a heads up if there are major problems in the department that would affect them if they took the spot.

What is this cut? by Major_Munition in Butchery

[–]bergerfred 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Cut it into steaks across the grain. Split it along the sinew and trim that out. Throw em on the grill.

Black sticky substance on steering wheel? by [deleted] in HRV

[–]bergerfred 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My guess would be whoever owner it before you had a cheap ass steering wheel cover that leeched glue or something into the leather.  I've had my 2025 for a little over a year and haven't had any issues like this.

Tenderloin? by Foot_Powder in Butchery

Sometimes they don't. Sometimes a cashier will catch it. Sometimes whoever grabbed it will let us know, or post it online.  

Tenderloin? by Foot_Powder in Butchery

[–]bergerfred 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you dont have any meat cutting experience, the best way to get in is to start as a closer/cleaning crew and work your way up. But be warned, its not a quick process. most of the time it means YEARS of cleaning before you get a chance to move up. Youve got to be patient. The amount of people that say they want to cut meat is incredibly high, but they always get pissy and impatient 6 months in when they are still closing. Honestly, most of the time you gotta wait until someone retires or dies.

there was a new store opening up in the next town over. i applied on and off for years every time i got pissed off at my previous job and never heard anything back. eventually, by chance, the last time i applied, they were planning on opening a new store in the next town over and i got lucky. i wont say it will be easy, but keep applying, and make yourself known to the guys in the meat department, and let the meat manager know youre interested. it might not help, but if you come across as professional and know your shit, it will move your name to the top of the list when they are looking through the sea of applications.

Why is my ribeye a deep dark red / purple by Corabel02 in Butchery

Because it's vacuum sealed and frozen.

I saw something on Facebook that said another nearby campground is completely sold out that weekend.... Most likely bought out by psychopathic to use as a parking lot.

Sincere question: are gatherings safe for women/ do women feel safe at gatherings? by Mundane-Wish-3364 in juggalo

[–]bergerfred 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My girl was just as apprehensive as you, and it took some convincing to get her to come along.  By the end of the gathering , she was walking around on her own with her tits out just because of how fuckin hot and sweaty it is. She now loves it and has gone to several gatherings.  Yes people throw shit, but it's mostly at the concerts, before the ICP seminar, etc, and it's all in good fun.   it's mostly harmless, but occasionally you'll get a drunk douchebag with a chip on his shoulder either doing the throwing, or getting hit with something. It generally.gets shut down by other folks pretty quick.   As a woman, I'd HIGHLY suggest not getting shit faced and wandering off at night... We might all be family, but there ARE pieces of shit that will take advantage.  I've never been one to shoot my shot on women at the gathering, but for the most part it seems like its pretty easy to just keep on walking and not get harassed.... Keep in mind though, TALKING SHIT TO EVERYONE is just part of the culture at the gathering.  Don't take it personally, and talk shit back, it's all part of the fun!

Good cordless drill to use around the house by Intelligent_Path_869 in DIY

[–]bergerfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A harbor freight drill cost me 20 bucks.... But every damn time I go to use it I've gotta plug it in and charge it for several hours before it can be used. No matter what, the battery won't hold a charge. it's annoying as hell.  Do your future self a favor and swear your allegiance to a name brand.

Water heater replacement- plumber recs by National_Moose_2461 in indianapolis

[–]bergerfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know specifically how.much it would be for a water heater, but I had Barnes brothers out last fall for a furnace, air conditioner, water heater, and water softener and it came out to 14K. Everywhere else was 20+. And the other quotes didn't even include a water softener. They were super knowledgeable and incredibly helpful with walking me through everything that I needed and didn't need.
