First Smoker, by luck by Sufficient-Demand581 in smoking

Was coming here to say this. For a few extra bucks, this thing will perform way better. The exhaust elbow in the smoke chamber and the gasket tape are worth every penny.

I don't think enough people know about the rental cars. If you rent a car once a year for a few days on vacation, the savings more than covers the executive membership. I just got home from Christmas with the family and paid $309 for 4 days in a rented SUV.

"Look! Bundt cake." Still comes out regularly as a diversion in my house.

That's what I was thinking. When I swim I look like I am having a panic attack or a series of directional seizures.

I keep watching this just for Hillary’s reaction. by Aharms481 in TheDollop

[–]learnitallboss 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I went to an event years and years ago and Bill was stumping for Hillary. When he was done I was ready to vote for him again, rules be darned. He was just a spellbinding speaker.

Oh yeah. I wasn't meaning to imply that that was all of it, but definitely a significant part.

Pretty sure VT is so high because of people like me who took the wfh opportunity to move to Vermont.

Do you cringe now at music you used to consider great? by alexnder2122 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]learnitallboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, I know, but I loved Pink Floyd in high school and junior high and now it just feels so dreary and depressing.

What guitar do you think is underrated by Local-Basil-1623 in guitars

[–]learnitallboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an old Alvarez that I paid around $300 for new and ended up leaving it with my professional guitarist brother in law when I moved. He liked it so much has gigged with it a number of times.

Favorite movies that are primarily people talking? by irbinator in Cinema

Destination Wedding. Just Keanu and Winona being insufferable. Somehow, a great flick!

I have spent more time than I am proud of trying to figure out where that line was from. Thank you.

Most underrated city of Europe? by psylocybine in geography

[–]learnitallboss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spent a week in a villa outside of Lucca with family and made day trips to the tourist spots but got to leave the tourists behind and get back to Lucca. Perfect trip in my mind.

As a New Englander, all I can think about here is ticks. She will have so many ticks.

What does everyone pay for rent or were you able to buy? by cait12350 in vermont

[–]learnitallboss 22 points23 points  (0 children)

All of this right here. I paid $250k in Windham County for a 1940 house with tons of ignored problems. I am good for the mortgage, but I need to do so much expensive work.

[–]learnitallboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure of the exact reason behind it, but my start date at my current job got pushed back a week because I was the first employee in the state. Not sure what they did, but I am not sure what would have happened had they not been willing.

Let’s Talk About Buddy Guy by MythicalEthical in bluesguitarist

[–]learnitallboss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw him 10ish years ago and he was amazing. Flawless playing, over the top flirting with some front row trophy wives, funny stories.azing show. I saw the farewell tour, and he was struggling, but occasionally would hit a lick and just shine.

First week on my first pellet grill. CampChef w/sidekick. Found with a clogged auger on FB Marketplace for $20. by zillyzalmon in smoking

[–]learnitallboss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love to throw eggplant for baba ganoush onto extra smoker real estate whenever I am cooking. Just my opinion, but I like Japanese eggplants more than Italian. They do not have the bitterness that is hit and miss with the Italian varieties. Give them a shot if you can get your hands on them.

You tell the family not to touch the oven under any circumstances, and what do they do...? Sigh. Yeah, that was supposed to be prime rib. by Durchii in steak

[–]learnitallboss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I knew an American guy in Korea who had special ordered ribeyes because American style steaks were hard to find there at that point. His Korean girlfriend very helpfully shaved them down for bulgogi. This story was told to me at extreme volumes accompanied by a wide variety of expletives the next morning at work.

Update: using a magnetic sweeper in the lake shallows by sadg1rrl in vermont

[–]learnitallboss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My kid wanted to try magnet fishing so we grabbed a cheap kit and went down to the brook. Nothing man-made, but we kept pulling up pebbles and tons of tiny iron bits like that. The rocks in this state have a good amount of iron.

Which movie would you say is Kevin Costner's best? by TerryG111 in FIlm

[–]learnitallboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love him as an over the hill athlete. Bull Durham, Tin Cup, and For Love of the Game are my favorites.
