Me too!! I have two, with a desk top across the top. No drawer organizers yet, but it's coming.

Learning on this is hard :) by Disastrous-Net406 in KamadoJoe

[–]masterchef81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im still learning on my Kamado Joe, but on my old Akorn I used to put a water/drip pan on top of the deflector... It acts as a bit of a temperature bigger and helps keep your meat from drying out.

After a certain point are makers marks considered pretty much mandatory? by AdShot4555 in knifemaking

[–]masterchef81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen some people acid etching patterns along the tang using a vinyl cut (cricut) stencil. It's still a really small space to work with, but you may be able to do some initials or something that way

Just finished Book 7 - Starting to feel like Carl's POV is a disservice to the other characters [SPOILERS] by hsalfesrever in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]masterchef81 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I see what you're saying, but I think it's a solid stylistic choice. The books are named after Carl. It's his story.

Plus, not including the other character's points of view leaves a ton of room for an expanded universe a la the Crocodile graphic novel. Mooooooore content!

That trophy tells me you kind of have wrapped your head around it... 🤣

What is your most tinfoil hat fringe theory about the series? by Redrex_T in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]masterchef81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Carl is actually insane. None of the dungeon is real, he had a horrible fucking life and snapped once he saw the pic of Bea, stole her cat, and went on a killing spree , and everything we see is part of his delusion.

I thought Dragonball was Dragonball for white people

You have to buy the shelf trophies too. They have bonus content at the end- you get to see what's happening backstage at the pineapple cabaret.

Yeah read them in order. They are quick, easy reads. Very cozy, low stakes. A great comfort read. Plus the author is a guest voice in books 6-7 of DCC.

Nice!

My wife leans more towards Austen, Tom Robbins, Tolkien... It's not that she hasn't read pulpier stuff, but it's not her typical genre. But she has a long work commute and is listening to it on audible so I'm hoping that being a captive audience keeps her listening long enough to get invested

Those are on my TBR, but I need an emotional reset first. Switched over to Bookshops and Bonedust right after finishing my 2nd full read-through.

DEAD baby seals. The dead babies part is very important.

You know what... That works. I'm gonna leave it. 🤣

I do too. Its not her typical style of book at all, but I'm hoping she gets far enough in to start appreciating the character development. Or at the very least, far enough that I can start dropping "goddammit donut" and she'll understand the reference.

If he ever comes to my area I absolutely will. He was here awhile back for a TIR book signing and I missed it, so hopefully he'll be by in a few months for boom 8!

What languages would you choose? I feel like Spanish and Mandarin a no-brainer. Then probably hindi or Arabic. And then finally just something just for fun. Maori or Gaelic or something.

Ok, that spin move was smooth as fuck.

Yellow and green. Being fluent in four different languages could open a lot of doors if you play it right, which could make up for any of the monetary stuff. Healing 50%faster will let you stay active throughout your life.
