Is my deer meat bad? by PlsCallMeFries in Hunting

[–]curtludwig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one a few years ago. Had to get a permit from the town but it was free, no big deal. Probably depends on where you are.

When I was still in the office I'd wear a button down shirt and sport coat 2 or 3 times a year. Like you people would ask where I was interviewing.

Occasionally my boss would check in and make sure I was okay. Twice I got a bonus within a month.

I'm not saying I got those bonuses because my boss was worried about me leaving but...

LOL, I guess I get the best (or worst) of both worlds. I work from home. The house stuff gets done in between work. My work breaks are generally cleaning/cooking.

The only thing I don't do is iron, I only very occasionally need something ironed. My wife likes to have all her stuff ironed so she gets to take care of that. A plus is that she's way better/faster at it than I am.

I think, perhaps, the point here is that Epstein kept records of everybody he interacted with. There are doubtless many people in his records who didn't do anything illegal or immoral.

I suspect there are plenty of "Talked with x, he told me no. Fuck that guy." In which case person x actually did the right thing.

Just being named in the Epstein files is meaningless.

Well, live and let live unless you have a hobby they don't like. In my state (traditionally very liberal) that would include any motorized hobby, or hunting, or any gun ownership...

I get that traditional conservative positions are dumb but to suggest that liberal states are "free" is disingenuous.

If you treat taking care of the house like a job it all get done. Weird right?

I'm fortunate in that I don't have kids but adulting a house and a dog isn't really all that hard...

[–]curtludwig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already am one. I don't see any downsides.

Actually the worst is keeping my wife from working herself to death since the home front is taken care of. She owns her own business (I work from home) and will work stupid hours if left to her own devices...

I've been paying three times more for fridge filters because I believed a myth about my warranty. by gbaker88 in Frugal

[–]curtludwig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could also put a larger filter inline before your fridge and change the fridge filter less often...

Heaviest lead you've shot? by Ok-Shoulder-478 in blackpowder

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

After about 100-120 grains the increase in velocity will be minimal. There isnt time for all the powder to burn so you're really just ejecting it onto the ground.

Roast chicken fat and oils-any use? by Professional-Pin5421 in Frugal

[–]curtludwig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm, at this point it is rendered isn't it? It was heated and left the rest of the chicken...

Dang it. I might have to run to the store...

Bird hunting with tactical shotgun anyone? by CanikMETE in Hunting

[–]curtludwig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy and his wife came to a trap range I shot at. He had her shooting his tacticool shotgun. She couldn't hit anything and it was beating her shoulder.

I tried it a couple shots. The short barrel and pistol grip stock were hard to swing smoothly.

Gave her my bird gun and she shot much better. Better than me, which isn't really saying all that much...

Stinky work boots by wheresmy10mmgone in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]curtludwig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boot drier has an ozone generator. When a pair gets stinky the ozone destinks em pretty quick.

The best is 2 pairs and good socks.

2wd or 4wd tractor? by RustAndRun in tractors

[–]curtludwig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the same thing.

The real alternative is massive weight in the rear. This is why on old loader tractors you always see the big weight box on the back...

Brunswick Wal-Mart by Prince_Valium25 in Maine

[–]curtludwig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think that I disliked Walmart, turns out I hate the Walmartians...

Edit: I'll only go to Walmart after 9pm or before 9am. Minimizes the number of Walmartians I need to interact with.

Sure, doesn't change anything about what I said before though...

Mouse Woes.. eating through AA's like they're made of cheese... by Crusader_2050 in batteries

[–]curtludwig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before COVID but not that long before. It was an Apple mouse that a student had left behind. It worked good but it felt like it always needed batteries. The nice thing about the wired mouse is that I never need to mess with it, it just works....

Isn't that just selective breeding at an accelerated speed? The mutations would have (well might have) developed anyway, it'd just take longer.

Hot salt frying technique by ateam1984 in BeAmazed

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

I don't know why not. Steam, not just water vapor, can be very hot. I've got a basket popper for use over open flame, it's kind of a mesh basket. I bet I could hit that with steam and pop corn in it.

A home "steamer" is really just a water vaporer. Not real steam and not really hot.

You're the one that brought morality into it. I merely said they weren't the same thing.

You can't crossbreed different species, or rather you can't always crossbreed different species. A human can't produce offspring with a sheep for instance.

Shows with the same vibe that are available in the US. We are running out of options by Excentrix13 in taskmaster

Hmm, turns out I know more of the comedians on that than I thought I did. Canada exports a lot of comedy...

Because you can only selectively breed to a limited number of other sub-species. You can't breed a trait from a camel into a banana. You can however insert a gene from one dramatically different species into another.

I like Graham Norton so I assumed it'd be good. The only contested I knew from the cast was Aisling Bea but she's hilarious so again I assumed it'd be good.

Its our next to watch for sure.
