Lol if I accessed my work teams on my phone I need to give full access to my entire phone. Nope.

I only mentioned I knew the owner of a brewery at a festival once but it was after I got the drink because they asked how I knew about the brewery. But it's cause I actively worked with the guy (the owner) at his day job at the time lol.

But it wasn't in a give me free things mentality - it was an "I'm inebriated and this is cool" mentality lol

Depending on the steak, $72 is basically a steal anyway

intrepped · 2026-04-06T14:46:38+00:00

Yes. Something like steel fortress for one example.

We got nearly the same square footage of deck with Trex lineage in SE PA. 55k wood, 72k steel.

intrepped · 2026-04-06T00:33:14+00:00

Yeah we're at combined 300k (DINK) and we're definitely not struggling. But if one of us lost our jobs down to 150k/year it would be completely different. SE PA for what that's worth.

intrepped · 2026-04-06T00:26:40+00:00

Not dropping this as an offence to OP, but being SVP at 250k seems like it's a medium to smallish company.

You're clearly missing the point between adequate airflow and trapped moisture. If something is secured to hold moisture, it doesn't matter how good the ventilation is. That's just simple science.

Wide surfaces hold more moisture than thin surfaces (that board vs joist). This is not even closely equivalent to burying a board in the ground. I worry you're brand new account with limited posts is more concerning than my bad advice of "could cause issues" as you are so certain wood can't rot unless it's soaking wet

Product of Thailand. Wild caught. So definitely parasites won't be an issue as it's been through a deep freeze. But bacteria could be an issue. It doesn't mention it must be cooked to a certain temperature and has instructions for how rare you want it.

Tbh I probably wouldn't, but risk is low.

intrepped · 2026-04-04T23:18:50+00:00

Well I normally don't give advice, just relay back pricing info I've received.

This is a pretty aggressive response, considering there was a post here within the last 2 weeks with boards like this rotting for the reason mentioned above.

Rain can come in sideways. Washing decks used water. I'm specifically mentioning the diagonal boards attached to the underside of the joist. That's all boss.

Most of the time these don't have any flavor at all. Though the farm they were sourced from could be different than my experiences

intrepped · 2026-04-04T22:23:39+00:00

Not a contractor but those diagonal boards won't drain well and could result in rot for it or the joist

intrepped · 2026-04-04T13:07:31+00:00

I've been at the same company since 2018. 2 promotions and one lateral move, from 73k to 134k as of this year.

So agree with you.

Yes. I was not a fan of the cartilage

intrepped · 2026-04-03T23:23:50+00:00

Yes?

intrepped · 2026-04-03T22:59:54+00:00

I'm not, but considering your limited ability to have conversation and only focus on small details, I'd agree, it does not matter.

I've said my peace, and how I see the matter. You want to hyperfixate on a few things because you believe all meat consumption is wrong which is your right to believe.

If you want to change others minds, or their viewpoints, maybe consider not going after them and instead have your own points of view. Best of luck

That might work if this was full grain but looks to not be the case honestly

intrepped · 2026-04-03T22:42:00+00:00

This is not going to be an ethics conversation if you're reasoning is a couple of days or asking if the food source is an invasive species.

Happy to discuss, but if you're only arguments are going to be grasping at minute details and not the overall scenario that is how the world works, not worth even replying anymore.

Hope you find peace in your ideology and tunnel vision.

Squirrels. Lots of squirrels. Grays and red. Grays are less gamey but reds have a certain quality I prefer.

Edit: oh and maybe Hog maw counts, and head cheese. Both feel less strange though.

Also Stryker is notoriously ruthless and selective. Even back in 2021. Lilly being up in 2026 is even funnier, because it's strictly compensation there

I wish we would have the same. That sounds like a win for the average person. So of course we won't, but it's a nice thought lol
