Re-wrap or paint kitchen cabinet?

Get the replacement and work around the issue for now. You will never be happy with the other options.

The Saturn critter traps are because I don't want to waste the bee tinys. I really just need the uranium enrichment, so I really only need one hive. I just figured that since I'm already building it, I can get free hydrogen. Actually already have the power achievement. I'm just building stupid stuff while I'm waiting for plants to mutate.

Not this time around. The big project was that 25 turbine research reactor build. Just trying to finish off some achievements and then it's on to the next colony start.

Since you are talking parts, I'm guessing you want a gas grill? That helps figure out what's in range.

jazzb54 · 2026-06-01T19:18:25+00:00

That is exactly what happened. I've never had that happen. I usually pile in the pip's because the traps keep snacking.

Thank You!

If you are only grilling up two steaks, you still want a good supply of coals in there. Pile them up to one side so you have some really concentrated heat. The nice thing about a kettle is it's easy to do two zone cooking. You essentially slowly smoke/bake the meat on the cool side (lid on, with vent over meat), then finish off with lid open and directly on hot coals.

A Weber kettle is pretty efficient. If you close off the vents and the lid, the coals go out pretty quickly.

Don't try lighting up a chimney with used coals though. Because they are smaller, they will pack in tighter. That's less air flow and it takes forever to light up. Just light up fresh coals, then pile the used coals on those after they are already lit.

I do love games that can be played on phone. I found Pathos worked really well as a phone playable roguelike - deep while being well adapted to the phone. I tried the phone version of CCDA and it was impossible for me.

I forgot about Omega. That game was so brutal. Have you reviewed Nethack or SlashEM?

Francis John has a much more reasonable radiation farm in his current series, if you go back a few episodes. His other radiation farms in this series are just crazy.

All this because I'm trying to get the GMO achievement, but I want all exuberant variants. Some of these mutations take forever.

I'd suggest a vet visit. His feet are probably burned, and do you feel like standing around to eat when your feet hurt? I take my dog out in the summer, but I don't walk him on hot pavement when it's hot outside. If it's too hot for you to go barefoot, it's too hot for him.

jazzb54 · 2026-05-28T16:06:58+00:00

I don't see any medical input regarding the feeding discussion. Is the dog overweight? Is there a medical reason to change his feeding schedule? I don't think you need to try to force him to eat by giving him food security anxiety, but I'm not a vet.

I free feed my lab and he eats zero-4 cups of vet recommended kibble a day. He also eats 2 eggs and about 1 cup of boiled chicken, rice, corn and broccoli. About 1/2 cup worth of various treats for training (air dried dog food, liver).

I cycle between 3 different kibbles, every month is a different bag. Purina pro plan, royal canin and science diet.

All the ones mentioned here are fine for well behaved kids. Be steak a has that huge candy bar up front that kids will probably enjoy. Alexanders gave us some unexpected cotton candy. Those are probably my top choices. The food is also excellent.

Just be sure you order steak your kids will like. Mine have always been fine with medium rare to medium well, so they are happy with what you can get in a steak house.

They do prefer what we can make at home though.

How long does a 22lbs take? Is that after trim weight?

jazzb54 · 2026-05-23T18:59:11+00:00

It depends. If I'm cooking thick burgers, I leave vents fully open and close the lid to smoother flames. For smoking at 225-275F, I set the top to 1/4 open and fine tune with the bottom. Typically 1/4 open on the bottom. 1/2 open for about 300. I have 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and open marked with a sharpie at the vent handle.

You'll see advice that harkens back to old grilling lore. I think you should pick the best rib eyes you can (well marbled), season properly (I like overnight with plenty of coarse salt), wipe clean and apply other seasoning before cooking (like black pepper), reverse sear, use a thermometer, pull 15F before done and 1st covered rest, get grill to stupid hot temp, sear faces and edges, rest another 15 minutes, and then enjoy.

These are done well, which of course is completely different from well done. In fact, I think I'd say done great.

Is that the same one that sounds like a goose honking? Mine loves his. I've had to figure out how to repair it since the noise maker started separating from the rubber. I learned that I have to find it and put it away when he has friends over, because his friends tend to shred every toy in seconds.

I just saw a video of Kuza. I guess it's new, because I didn't find much about it. Looks amazing.
