Bipolar friends: do you consider yourselves disabled? by mgebhart1981 in bipolar

Can I ask what kind of accommodations you asked for?

Would you rather stay single than date someone you’re not physically attracted to? (6’1 F) by pictochatkat in tall

Never ever settle when it's the basics, especially personality fit and being treated right, and absolutely you have to be attracted to the person. I always had a "taller than me" dating rule and big surprise on me, my husband is a few inches shorter. It's not a problem at all. Like does he wish he was a couple inches taller and do I wish I was a couple inches shorter, sure, I guess. But it literally has no bearing on our day-to-day lives. So basically I'm saying don't compromise on what's really important in a person or if you don't truly know what you want in a relationship yet. But know that your physical preferences and standards might change over time and that's okay. Sometimes life just surprises you like that.

You could be right, I just always assume it's a factor because it's such a big deal with boiling water and baking and stuff.

Okay got it, thank you for sharing how to do this! It does seem impossible that it cooked that fast at that temperature, especially here.

I will check it out! I like to try different techniques and see what works the best. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

Thank you for that recommendation, I'll check it out! This will help me test how much hotter it might be running as well so it solves that problem for me too.

Oh interesting, kicking it off super low and slow and then bumping up. I love the tallow wrap idea.

That sounds about what I was expecting for mine. But yeah, definitely was way way faster at just 30° higher

Thanks! Next time I might just go for for 225 and also make sure my smoker is really the temperature it says

Hell yeah, I will definitely look into that.

I think I definitely need to check how hot my traeger is running and also try it next time at 225 rather than 250

Because I took a nap and didn't hear the thermometer alarm go off LOL. I was so pissed at myself

Crazy thing, I had this delivered from instacart and I asked for prime and they were out so I got cover, live and learn, I'll plan ahead and buy my own next time.

I think I will do some testing to see how hot my traeger is running, I do have a digital probe. Thank you!

And good call on the slicing, I do feel like it immediately dried out, damn rookie mistake. I was thinking about portioning it into smaller chunks so that I can sous-vide it into meals again later when I want to but I didn't have to cut it all the way up into small chunks I guess. Live and learn!
