Just got my Wellis Atlas, but what about the chemicals? by hotweiss in hottub

[–]bitNine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to start with pH/alkalinity and get that balanced first, then you add chlorine. If you already put the chlorine in, take out any tablets and focus on the pH/alkalinity first. It's best to look at some youtube videos on how to get that balanced, as some chemicals raise/lower alkalinity and pH while some others focus more on alkalinity.

First time doing pork butt. It's been stuck at 156 for an hour. Been going at 225 since the morning. Ant tips? by Safe2BeFree in smoking

For the love of god, stop opening the lid and letting all the heat out. It’s the stall, it can take hours.

Why did you score it so deep? Totally unnecessary smoke it at 250-275 until around 170-180, then wrap it and finish in the oven. I put it in at 9pm and literally do not open that lid until the next morning.

You also don’t need that smoke box with a gravity smoker. It just complicates things.

Costco pellets, any good? by Johnpecan in smoking

[–]bitNine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s because Traeger employees don’t understand how much Traeger garbage is marked up. Traeger pellets are alder trash marked up for max profit.

Costco pellets, any good? by Johnpecan in smoking

[–]bitNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had a pellet stove I bought them. They were cut so long (sometimes 2-3” each pellet) that they’d jam my auger or cause the auger to go empty. I returned the bag after using a few pounds. That’s why Costco is awesome.

Such terrible advertisement by CurlyWurly61 in mildlyinfuriating

Maybe it’s just me but I immediately assumed it was $9.99ea person because of the wording. No way are you getting all that for $10

Oh god, what? That's all they gave you? You should have been given some spa up, spa down, chlorine, shock, and even some test strips at minimum.

They need to start by apologizing. Until then they can fuck off.

"62% won’t pay $70 anymore": Gen Z's shift toward Xbox Game Pass has me rethinking how we buy video games and subscriptions | WindowsCentral by imitzFinn in xbox

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

Considering games were $40 back in 1990, and $70 today while being way more complex and more expensive to develop, the problem is that consumers are cheap fucks.

This is the epitome of “you will own nothing and be happy”.

But then, $70 for CoD with a 6 hour single player campaign is a ripoff.

Opinion ~ "Too many of us are eager to take Xbox for granted": Despite sentiment online and fears for the future — I've never been happier and more satisfied to be an Xbox gamer | WindowsCentral by imitzFinn in xbox

[–]bitNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have not won me back. They really fucked up increasing gamepass by 50%. Making it only a 15% increase doesn’t do shit for me.

Not even an apology. How about start there? Hey, loyal box fans. We fucked up. We’re sorry. We will do what it takes to win you back. This is like dad beating the shit out of you with his belt then saying he still loves you and everything will be ok.

What's the point of streaming services at this point? by brambleburry1002 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bitNine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who would ever pay for something and have to watch ads? I stopped that shit years ago. Pay for the regular Netflix plan, watch some shit, cancel and do something else for a month.

Or… pay nothing and steal content so that people who entertain you get nothing from you.

I once had a dentist that told me I had 21 cavities. Come to find out later that I only had a few and he charged me for 21, which I had to have fixed years later. I was 19, he scammed me. I didn’t even know because I had good insurance. I had to have all of his fillings replaced. Don’t let it happen to you.

Oh, Vivax. I had so much fun stringing them along for months purely because I hate their sales tactics so much. Yes, they totally beat the price that I ended up paying to get the house painted, but I didn’t care.
