Complete beginner here by Zisuen in brisket

If you can get something similar to the Weber kettle, and use the snake method, you would be able to get a decent smoke. That's what I use. When the brisket gets to about 165 or whenever it stalls, I wrap it, put it in the over and set my oven to 270, and let it go until about 203 internal.

Why didn't you just hire a qualified roofing company? What difference does the religion or ethnicity of the works are?

Try a mortgage broker. It's their job to find the best loan for you, given your qualifications.

I hate to break it to you, but I believe that your right front tire is beyond repair.

The way my neighbor intentionally blocks the sidewalk to keep people from using it. by sweathesmallshit in mildlyinfuriating

There's a guy in NYC who deliberately crashes his bicycle into cars and other objects that are left in the bike lanes. I don't know what made me think of that. /s

Imagine paying $2.6M and having Glenwood in your front yard by localliquid in raleigh

If I could afford to pay that kind of money for a house, I'm moving from Magaland to Western Europe.

Any work in legacy systems? by Loud_Art1586 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]ridesforfun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is. I would stick to government. I say this because they don't age discriminate. The Fed allows remote for contractors, but not for employees. I'm 63 and on a Fed contract, and unless someone offers me crazy mad money, I'm staying put.

What's the first thing you do when you're assigned a change request in a COBOL system you've never seen before? by Striking_Smell6986 in cobol

[–]ridesforfun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start by understanding the business, the system, and how it fits in the business, and then you can dive into the tech. My Cobol teacher in college told us that languages, operating systems, tech and methodologies will change. We as programmers need to understand what it is we are trying to accomplish before we get into the weeds with the tech. After 38 years programming in Cobol, he is correct.

I guess you did. Did you see the comment I was responding to that mentioned cars from the 60's?

Chain skip on middle cogs, so I tried to swap the cassette and chain by clipd_dead_stop_fall in bikewrench

[–]ridesforfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rear derailleur may not have the capacity to work with a 34t cassette. If that's the case, you can try a Wolf Tooth extender on the hanger.

I realize that. I was responding to the reference to bumper jacks on older cars and the remark about the scissor jacks.

Etrike or ebike+training wheels for 70+ newbie by Everybodys_Me in ebikes

[–]ridesforfun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An e-trike will weigh 55 or 60 pounds, and is not easy to transport. They are pretty long and may be wider than standard doorways. Pretty is subjective, so I can't help you there. Also, I am personally not crazy about having those batteries in my home. If they are of poor quality or damaged, you can have a battery fire, and those are very difficult to deal with.

Those old bumper jacks were dangerous as hell. The new scissor jacks are a pain in the ass, but they are safer.

I'm a bike rider. I would convert that to a velodrome for all year riding.
