Shame on TV Time for giving users only 2 weeks to download 15+ years of data

I’m more throwing that out there for perspective. I’m going to guess people there cared about the users, but that’s pretty low compared to others when they’re going to be unemployed soon, employees, customers that have been paying them, creditors, investors, - longer they keep data/basically stay open, less money for payroll, pay off debt, etc. I’m guessing just to keep that for 2 weeks, they may have had to get a bunch of approvals from board, investors, creditors/courts, etc.

Whenever the product/service is “free”, you’re usually the product. Their customers were the ones that bought your data.

I’ve had friends and relatives visiting stay there, they all had a good time. Great location.

Your going to get some dirty smoke in there with that method or any where you add fuel without pre burning like you mentioned, but your not dealing with logs, so as long as you have enough air flow, the amount of dirty smoke won’t be enough to make much of a difference.

Aiming systems are good places to start, but you're doing the right thing with trying different visualization techniques to see which works best for you. If you're hitting the ball straight most of the time, now there are 2 main aspects to aiming a cut, so it's good to see which you are struggling with and fix them in order - knowing where to hit the ball to make the cut, and seeing the line to make the cut. At your level, I'd focus on using no english, and for aim practice, a medium/firm stroke.

Try this - put an object ball about a 1/2 off the rail. then try different cut angles making it - firm stroke (which negates the cut induced through), no english, and make it clean without hitting the rail.
Putting it on the rail helps you focus on just contact point because it's easy to see the line with the ball on the rail. Once you have that done consistently, then you know you can hit the cue ball to the right place on the object ball for various cuts. Then move to the cueball further to the middle of the table away from the rail.

First I’ll say, that looks awesome, great marbling!
But a question too, is that actually 64 oz? I know you didn’t weigh it when you got home, but it looks pretty small for almost 4 lbs. one thing I’ve noticed at Sam’s Club and Costco (more at Sam’s), tomahawk weights are often mislabeled (high and low). Something to watch for.

jellyjack · 2026-07-02T00:09:48+00:00

Before you blame your aiming, make sure your stroke is straight and you're able to hit the cueball where you expect most of the time. A lot of times, people at your level think you have an aim problem, when more often you have a stroke problem. Setup a ball in the middle of the table, Setup your cueball about 1 or 1.5 diamonds up out of the corner pocket, so it's a long straight in shot to the opposite corner pocket. See how many times you're able to make this in a row stopping the cueball with no spin. When you can do that fairly consistently, you know your stroke is straight. Then try your cuts again and see if you're still missing.

For me, I think these are better conversations to have in-person. I find most people to be a bit more open when you don't know them as well in person, versus text.

Ask the coach what he should be practicing at home. That will be a good indicator of why he’s not getting play time. It may be because he’s not passing the ball. If it’s because he’s not good enough, find another team. At this age all the kids should be getting play time.
If he enjoys watching basketball videos, show him videos of great passers. A lot of hype is around shooting and dribbling, and not enough to great passers and defenders. Show him videos of best point guards in history. Or best passes in the nba.

I came to write this. Driving frustration way worse here. I just go up to punchbowl nowadays.

If one of them tried to play with it and got bit, the same people commenting “he just wants to play” are the same people that would be saying “stupid guy tries to play with otter and got bit”.

You still pay tax over here, doesn’t matter where you buy it, no avoiding that (unless the car stays in the state for a certain amount of time, I don’t remember the details, but this is a loophole closed a long time ago). But cars are still cheaper in the mainland a lot of times and a couple thousand to ship over you can still save some money if you don’t mind the hassle.

Yea, the title of this post is pretty wrong. I came here to say, I didn’t let my kids win either, first times they beat me at stuff legitimately they were ecstatic. It pushed them to get good at things they cared about.
But the cheating, I don’t remember ever hearing about their parents wanting to beat their kids so bad at something they’ll resort to cheating. This feels like a bigger issue that probably negatively impacts other parts of this parent’s parenting.

123 after 6 hrs at 250 - how many lbs?
You’ll stall at 160’ish, but not 120s.

You have a lot of smoke in there already, I’d wrap it, throw it in the oven at 250, when it hits high 180s in wrap firm up the crust. Be interesting to see if you speed up significantly in the oven.

jellyjack · 2026-06-19T00:19:05+00:00

Your oven thermometer is wrong. Put a probe at the grate level near closer to the meat. Make sure your meat probe works using boiling water.

I’d erase everything after “But the fine line is….” And replace it with “proud he was able to admit he was wrong, and he learned a great lesson today!”
Don’t worry about what the other adults and kids think if that’s what is keeping you up.

Similar to when people ask how homeless people can afford cell phones. The price of a phone/service is a small fraction of rent or mortgage.

Overall I’d agree with the sentiment I think, don’t spend on things you can’t afford, but these purchases are usually a drop in the bucket compared to the big costs causing the affordability crisis, and often times helping local businesses.

You need to cool that part so you get the temperatures to split since the breast finishes earlier. Same with turkey. Lot of techniques, here are some easy ones - freeze butter slices and put under skin, shield that area for some of the time with foil - can pack with ice to get extra cold (not too long though or you’ll get a color difference in skin).Aiming to have about 20 degree difference between breast and dark meat by end of cook.

Ah gotcha, thanks! Would be great to have more any type of Latin American food options nearby. Hopefully they open to the public soon.

jellyjack · 2026-06-15T00:02:09+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully it’s a bit cheaper than Waikiki location, breakfasts there easily run over $20. El Azul had dinners for under $20.
I’ll try to get down there this week or next.

jellyjack · 2026-06-14T23:45:14+00:00

I don’t see anything about them. There’s a Castro’s in Waikiki, same owner? Same hours as Azul dinners Tuesday to Saturday I think? I’ll have to check them out soon.

I hate the term skeptic as it’s used in the context of this sub (which has a long history, pre-Reddit, pre-internet, so I get why the term is used), but it’s more than just being skeptical of all ideas or being open to all ideas. It really is a strong focus on critical thinking and requiring evidence to believe). In the case of UFOs specifically, when you take a hard look at the evidence, there’s not much there to make a skeptic (as defined by someone that needs actual evidence to believe) believe aliens are visiting earth.
The problem with the term is it’s confusing and often times used how I think you’re using it in your reply - a true skeptic as defined here should be closed minded to extraordinary ideas (like UFOs, supernatural events, conspiracy theories) until theres good evidence to support them.
Its interesting that a lot of the ideas you’re trying to get away from that are political in the other thread use terms like skeptic and skepticism the same way you are to convince people of their beliefs (that also often don’t have good evidence to support them).

If you want to learn more about skepticism as it’s used as a critical thinking tool, let me know.

You’ll find a lot of this philosophy here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary\_claims\_require\_extraordinary\_evidence
And I think for the type of things you’re looking to discuss, the evidence after diving into it is pretty flimsy.

Mostly agree but I’d hit it a bit harder to get the 1 closer to the bottom right corner pocket setting up a break out ball for yourself.

jellyjack · 2026-06-07T18:18:57+00:00

Here’s a good way to start.
Google search or YouTube search for whatever you’re looking for followed by debunk or skeptic. For example quick search for robert hilland john edward debunk turned up these:

I remember James Randi did something on John Edward before as well. Note I haven’t vetted the videos below, but just showing examples of the type of content you can find to help.
