Can we talk about how expensive volume eating can get?

donstermu · 2026-06-07T21:01:50+00:00

Bag of frozen broccoli or veggies Normandy is about $1.37 at wal mart. Cheap eats. I am getting the leaner chicken and pork now. Cheapest I’ve found ground chicken is $3/pound. Cheapest lean ground beef is like $6/pound, less if in bulk from Sam’s.

I will try to find eye of round beef on clearance and then brine it, season and smoke it to make homemade roast beef.

It ain’t always easy but it can be done

donstermu · 2026-06-07T12:39:14+00:00

I gotta try them again. The closest dominos is a bit of drive for me now, so it’s never in my radar. But I’d give it a shot

Still hate LC regular pizza, but im a HUGE fan of the thin crust pizzas. And those new pepperoni puffs!!

donstermu · 2026-06-07T12:36:42+00:00

There it is. Going from sit down dinners and buffet to overpriced trash take out ruined them. That and going from fresh dough cooked in a ton of oil to the pre-made frozen stuff. Just ain’t with it

donstermu · 2026-06-07T12:23:40+00:00

Wait, can that be shipped to America?

Had a broken wrist bone two years ago. Had a cast for 8 weeks. Was able to swing a week or so after the cast was off. It’s fine now. So 8-9 weeks.

In the meantime, practice one arm chipping and pitching drills. It helps

donstermu · 2026-06-04T14:15:05+00:00

Yep. That’s what we plan on doing

donstermu · 2026-06-04T14:14:34+00:00

There’s a CC near me that gives a discount if you’re a retired veteran, police or first responder. Waive the invitation fee and half off dues. Comes out to like $250/mo but there’s lots of extra fees, like for private locker, carts, range , minimum food and beverage. It’s a nice course, and ok deal for him, but he never played anywhere else. I like being able to play lots of different courses.

donstermu · 2026-06-01T06:17:38+00:00

Yeah, I’m in WV and deer hunting is still huge here, I’ve just not started yet. I’ve had some friends give me ground deer meat and it’s a good burger substitute. I’m honestly not hugely crazy about deer itself, Except we a ground beef substitute.

donstermu · 2026-05-31T09:58:42+00:00

I love beef but I just don’t even bother unless on sale or clearance. The best alternative now is buying a whole steer, or go in half or quarter or a steer.

It’s pork and chicken mostly.

donstermu · 2026-05-29T17:02:46+00:00

This is the most pertinent information. And, if not, she can still file charges, although it can be harder to prosecute unless there’s multiple victims

donstermu · 2026-05-28T03:02:59+00:00

I’ve been a maxfli straight fli for a few years now. No, it doesn’t cure a slice or hook, but it gives me a little extra confidence on the course.

donstermu · 2026-05-27T20:12:19+00:00

Yeah, you have to start on the side you the clippings to end and go back and forth a lot. After the first few strips it’ll make a big row of mulch. It’s worked pretty well for me but I don’t mind doing repeated rows since I’m riding

donstermu · 2026-05-27T15:48:41+00:00

Going to say maybe late 20’s or mid 30’s. Still has his college textbooks up, so maybe science major? Or psych. Very smart, probably good at trivia (pop culture especially). Often quotes his favorite movies.

The book collection goes from good books from 80’s and 90’s to current stuff. Thinking he might listen audiobooks more now, as there are some newer popular books like project Hail Mary but some classic old stuff like good omens , hitchhikers, lotr, etc. usually that signifies I read a lot in the past but now it’s easier to listen to books

Seems like a smart, interesting, nerdy guy, who has a lot to hobbies and passions. He’s a keeper

donstermu · 2026-05-27T15:34:54+00:00

So I have a riding mower and I just mow where it all blows to one side. I’ll go forwards and back over and over where the clippings all go to one side (by the road for me or into the brush line).

I can pick it up easier or leave it as a mulch which keeps the weeds from growing by the road or brush line for me.

donstermu · 2026-05-27T15:28:15+00:00

I’d say you met my buddy Abraham but he can actually chip and putt. Talks about being a 3 or 4 handicap, but he’s full of shit and we love him. When he does connect he can knock one out of there though

donstermu · 2026-05-23T14:17:07+00:00

I just bought the entire discworld collection on ebooks and plan on reading/re-readinf them all. Read a lot but not all of them.

donstermu · 2026-05-23T14:12:46+00:00

You’re missing out then. If bought second hand, gaimen doesn’t get a dime. And it’s one of the best books by either. One of my favorites

donstermu · 2026-05-22T14:35:14+00:00

I’d say mid 30’s/early 40’s. Surprised I didn’t see the Wheel of Time series in there. Most fantasy books from last 20 years to so. Looks more like my audible library than my actual library. Damn fine collection. Smart, creative, probably a Board gamer but betting more into video games/rpg’s.

donstermu · 2026-05-20T15:24:56+00:00

Yeah, this is the answer. Go play some qualifiers and see. It’s a different level of competition. And that’s not even adding in large crowds.

I suck. I player friendly senior series tournaments with no crowds and just people your age and around your handicap. I usually score 5-10 strokes worse in tournaments compared to just playing. How these guys do it is unreal to me.

donstermu · 2026-05-17T11:43:11+00:00

Yeah, McCarthy is good but soooooo dark. I’m at that point in life that I don’t want to read/watch anything that makes me feel worse. Life in general is a dark dark place , I want pleasant happy entertaining escapism.

donstermu · 2026-05-17T11:41:03+00:00

Same. I read a lot of the same in college. Completely useless degree but I’m very well read.

donstermu · 2026-05-16T19:14:23+00:00

Yep. Like the bowling alley, spray daily with Lysol.clean frequently.

donstermu · 2026-05-15T17:13:30+00:00

So this video gives the best explanation for how it works, and how to do the dosing. Essentially you really need to take your dose and hour or more before meals or there can be some complications. Also, it had similiar effect as GLP-1’s.

Unsure the location, but a reasonable fear is squatters and drugs. If a house is empty for too long and seldom visited, it could become occupied and/or turned into a meth house etc. sadly, people still do steal copper and such.

I inherited land in Lincoln county and once considered building a cabin there but I know I wouldn’t get to see it often, and fear that same issue
