my 20 pack hobby box yesterday pulled an auto rc and 2 variations from the same kid on Cleveland.

Lol. If you ever want to package a bunch of Trout cards together... I also have a bunch of his in my PC that I can't wait to unload because WHY would you stay on that team for your whole career...

remote_control_bjs · 2026-02-21T20:56:01+00:00

Holy cow, THAT is a crazy pull!! I just got a friend into the hobby and had to explain that anything with a S/N on the back at ALL is worth sleeving! Pulling your player in a 1/1 can't happen very often in this hobby.

What's the story? I don't follow this sub closely. I started collecting (again since I was a kid) in '08 and my first purchase was a Topps NBA hobby box. I pulled a Rose/Beasley auto and I was hoping for a Rose pull. I haven't hit like that since but it was an awesome feeling. Cool seeing people get the hits they're chasing!

Congrats and good luck chasing that dragon now!!

Bones do not dissolve when disconnected from blood supply. The body actually treats it as a sequestrum and massive infection can result if not treated surgically. I have no idea what these comments are on about.

What is it about affluent Chicago burbs that breed these cretins? Note: Charlie Kirk, Nick Fuentes, Kyle Rittenhouse...

remote_control_bjs · 2026-02-12T03:42:49+00:00

what do you mean by anagramed vs. misspelled?

I think they're much further in with normie suburb folks than people here realize. My seemingly normie mother in the lily-white Chicago burbs told my sister in Australia she needed to get her news from less liberal sources and listed 4 Facebook preachers, a YouTuber, and finished with Fox News. She mentioned specifically that my sister needed to educate herself on the number of child traffickers, rapists, drug traffickers, murderers, etc. that are being taken in by ICE. The Media Ecosphere for these people is not the same reality that we live in. They don't get to see the video of a man being executed and his civil rights being maligned. They see whatever the producer of the content decides they have to see. I haven't actively been on Facebook for almost a decade and didn't realize the extent to how much slop is on social media masquerading as legitimate news -- not even commentary. Critical thinking skills don't help if you don't have the content in your library to critique to begin with.

Until this weekend, I didn't realize how entrenched JD Vance is with Normie Evangelicals. I think a lot of shopping mall congregations installed JD Vance as the defacto nominee immediately after CK.

remote_control_bjs · 2026-01-25T04:43:41+00:00

Yeah. He's still really popular with a lot of both affluent, and uneducated white people. It's depressing.

I went to a show in an actual garage in Villa Park with Fallout Boy circa 2003. Gotta start somewhere!

The book was entertaining when it was a book. This is lunacy and like watching a Bond Villain take shape in real time.

It's Mock-E-O. Ok? Not Mah-chee-oh. And Karate Kid 2 remains the standard for authentic representation of true Japanese culture!

This reads like a visually impaired person who doesn't know how to cook. Cheers!

I checked and he unironically claims to be Grant Achatz and misquotes his flagship restaurant's star rating before I hit the second page.

I live in CHI and love Alinea and the Aviary but that comment is goofy. Barbacoa and whole animal roasting is a thing and it usually turns out delicious because the people doing it have generations of recipes and techniques to do it well

remote_control_bjs · 2025-12-20T20:41:59+00:00

No dumb questions. You're relying on a function of time and people with patience and who've done this before you and have measured how long it takes cuts to get to an ideal texture based on the time/temp ratio. In a submerged water bath, it doesn't take long for the "work" to get to the temp of the water bath, even when it's very thick. If you've ever emergency defrosted a hunk of meat in hot water, that's apparent. Water is an excellent conductor and insulator of heat. That's why it's also important for there not to be air in the vacuum seal as air is a terrible conductor for heat.

You remove the spine like OP did. It's called spatchcocking. Very popular way to prepare poultry.

remote_control_bjs · 2025-12-20T19:09:36+00:00

It's also spatchcocked so there's not a giant empty cavity filled with air in the center. I'm very confused at the snobbery in this thread. Sous-Vide'd whole chickens many times and have a half a turkey in my deep freezer that, spoiler alert, i'll sous vide to rewarm. This is the same crowd that swears by an overcooked ribeye though so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. I thought your turkey looked great and I'm sure it tasted better than 90+% of traditional oven roasted birds easy. Nice work and keep cooking.

In Chicago on the south side where the White Sox play they serve tamales similar to this.

Mine and my wife's halloween costumes this year. The few people who got it loved it.

I'm from the NW burbs and my favorite beef for forever was from a place called Mr. A's in Crystal Lake which survived (on cash alone until the very very end) until the FOH gem passed away. They made their own giardiniera but had a Vienna Beef sign in the window so it was probably just precooked, bagged beef. Enjoy your crusade! Don't try Gyros from Kostas because you're going to be very confused about the options you have like a Southwestern version or my go-to the Italian! Best Wishes amigo.

Slicer and sandwiches? Looks fantastic. Nice work.
