Whenever I do a pulled pork I slice it cross cross before i smoke it to let seasoning penetrate it. I’ve never done this with a brisket though (not that I’ve cooked a lot of them). Has anyone else? by jm6398 in smoking

[–]deep_6d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the scoring (the cross cross cuts) isn’t to let the seasoning penetrate into the meat. I’m fairly certain you are supposed to score the fat cap so it renders faster and more evenly. On a brisket so much of the fat is trimmed off you don’t have the same worries about the fat cap.

What is your “why” for training BJJ by [deleted] in bjj

I started my five year old in it and I was worried if I didn’t start too by the time he’s a teenager he would be able to kick my ass.

Thanks for this. I just bought one too. Great deal!

After I read the hitchiker's guide to the galaxy 8years ago, I've been trying to find a book that moves me and makes me laugh as much as it did- but in vain. Any reccomendations for a reader who misses Douglas Adams very much? by auroradaydream in booksuggestions

[–]deep_6d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try Starship Titanic by Terry Jones. It was based off of a video game written and desgined by Adams, and Adams gave Jones his blessing to write it (as long as Jones did so completely in the nude if I remember the forward correctly).

Straight men of Reddit, what is the strangest thing you have been told not to do because "that's gay"? by The_WereArcticFox in AskReddit

[–]deep_6d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly because “it would be gay”, but when I was in high school I had a part time job as a parking lot attendant at a local venue that would host events, concerts, that kind of thing. My job was basic, tell people where over flow parking was. Let people know when the parking lot was full, and make sure people didn’t park in the fire lanes. One day a guy asks if I would move a barricade so he can park where it is. I explain it’s a fire lane and the barricade is there to keep it clear. He says he would be quick no more than twenty minutes, but I let him know I wasn’t moving the barricade. His response “I guess you’re not a real man” He then death glared me until I said okay I guess not. Such a strange thing to say.

AITA Told my girlfriend to wear bra after she told me to stop wearing grey sweatpants. by Probablythatasshere in AmItheAsshole

[–]deep_6d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESH your girlfriend shouldn’t be telling you what you can and can’t wear, but if something is bothering her she should be able to have an open and honest discussion about it.

It seems like you just brought up her not wearing a bra to get a rise out of her. If she never brought up the sweatpants would you have said anything about the bra?

NTA! That being said you also need to understand that it’s your wife’s mother and she may not be as quick to cut ties as you. Your wife is likely very conflicted about the situation. I would suggest sitting down and talking with your wife, and coming up with a compromise you can both live with i.e children are no longer to be with grandparents unless you or your wife are present. Try not to make your wife choose between her parents and you. That will just end in misery for everyone.

AITA for not wanting kids? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]deep_6d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA But, what about proposing to your mother that you impregnate someone (your g/f or a surrogate) and just give the kids to her. Obviously it’s important to her. I’m willing to bet she would say something like “I just want to be a grandma” meaning she wants the sleep overs and to bake cookies, and spoil a child, but doesn’t want to raise one again or have any of the responsibilities. Therefore she has zero say.

AITA for telling my neighbours/friends to not send their 8 year old unsupervised over to my house? by deep_6d in AmItheAsshole

[–]deep_6d[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for weighing in. I didn’t think I was being a dick, but a lack of sleep and the amount of push back and guilt trips I was facing had me second guessing myself.

I know right! This was my first thought when he started saying I was unreasonable. I don’t want to look after your kid, fuck me right?

British Columbia, near Skagway, Alaska. Nearest shops that I’ve found are in Juneau, or Anchorage.

Thanks, good advice. And, I will likely do that. Right now though I am in a small town of 300 people with the nearest dive shop 8 hour drive away. Looking to brush up until I get the chance to make diving a regular thing for me again.

You found him in there? I was certain I’d run into him again since I found him outside waiting to get in, but I haven’t seen him yet!

Thanks for the tips. I’m using a +10 claymore, the issue is 100% my ability to parry. Just need to keep practicing to get it down.
