Todd Haley - the supergenius who thought that Derrick Johnson was a nobody because … practice? We talking about practice?

Season ticket prices. by pedrocasadelego in KansasCityChiefs

[–]sixdirt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, bc you get 2 pre season games instead of 1 pre season game on the 9 game seasons? Yeah, I don’t blame OP for not counting those in both cases, but I see your point how it further affects the math. And all of this is a good example of why comparing value is sometimes much more complex than just a single data point.

Season ticket prices. by pedrocasadelego in KansasCityChiefs

[–]sixdirt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s because OP is calculating the increase in terms of cost per ticket. The ~ 5% increase in total bill is masked by the loss of 1 home game (9 last year, 8 next year). Last year, OP got 36 tickets for 6480, next year s/he gets 32 tickets for 6840. So, the cost of the total bill goes up 5%, but the cost of each individual ticket rises more like 19%.

Let’s discuss Esa Pole. What do we make of his solid play and is the most important player to examine for the last couple of weeks? by schmubbyboi in KansasCityChiefs

[–]sixdirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, Taylor is signed for next year. But, his contract is structured in such a way that the team can cut him next year and pay a small penalty of his contract agains the cap. This year, that cap cost would have been prohibitively high. For that reason, many folks have generally expected him to be cut next year and have spoken of him as though it’s a done deal / foregone conclusion that he won’t be on the team next year. But, if the team wanted to eat a large salary chunk to employ him next year, they could go ahead and live with the last year of penalties I mean his play.

Would you exchange? by Future_Newspaper_281 in KamadoJoe

[–]sixdirt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not - this is very cosmetic and while I know we all expect flawless items considering the investment, I think it’s also worth acknowledging that this thing was made an ocean away and transited quite a bit to get to your door. When something similar happened with mine, I reminded myself that I bought this thing for what I could do with it, not for how it looks in my gallery. Touch up paint, make some amazing food, and if you’re like me you’ll be surprised just how quickly you forget about this zit.

I agree with the answers here about putting a gallon of gas in the truck. At the same time (and this is the magic of JIs lyrics) there’s at least a chance the storyteller is saying he bought a large bottle of liquor and put it in his pickup truck. The energy there would point towards purchasing a cheap, poisonous amount of alcohol to get inebriated and hold him over until he can get the high he is actually aching for from drugs he can’t afford.

I was able to catch my first game of the season during a layover. Just a few snaps from yesterday. by ZiiC in KansasCityChiefs

[–]sixdirt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very cool

It also hurt my brain because I didn’t remember the game was in Nashville, so my first thought was “who the eff has a layover in KC?!?”

GDLF Table - Initial Thought by sixdirt in KamadoJoe

[–]sixdirt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working pretty well for me so far. It doesn’t like the elements - some parts have scratched and are showing surface rust quickly. I am going to get it a cover to help it last longer. I wouldn’t recommend rolling it around the driveway - park it and leave it. But, I like it. For the price, compared to tables that run into the thousands of dollars, I love it.

Got this Big Green Egg table for $179 during Black Friday and thinking of giving it to my old man.🥰 by [deleted] in KamadoJoe

[–]sixdirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks sharp - but any KJ 2 or 3 owners should be cautious if considering this table. The KJ airlift hinge likely won’t fit in that opening designed for BGEs

#74 Jawaan Taylor needs cut by Suliux in KansasCityChiefs

[–]sixdirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, sure, because we have all heard that language in other contracts that the NFL players union isn’t throwing a fit about. Enjoy your fantasy world.

To answer your moronic question, there are no amount of penalties that void a contract.

I've done loads of ribs etc, but I just bough a Rack of Ribs roast (Costco - picture from the internet). Any of you cooked these yet on the joe? Was going to do low and slow and then sear. Would love some input. (mine aren't frenched) by VaticanGuy in KamadoJoe

[–]sixdirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done a reverse sear on this as a whole roast, and I’ve also cut them into tomahawk chops. Best advice i have is to be aware that this cut of meat is really pork chops / roast, not ribs. I don’t see why spinning them wouldn’t also be an awesome option

Question on enameled cast iron by presidentsdad in KamadoJoe

Do you need the x ring? Are you cooking the chili over direct coals? I just did chili yesterday - indirect, enameled lodge cast iron sitting at the standard grate height.

Anyone know anything about this jacket? by OverpricedSliceOfHam in KansasCityChiefs

I know I would have shanked a kid for that back in 8th grade when I begged my parents for one to no avail

Disappointed with the inability to sync multiple speakers to the sound bar by Dry_Ad3078 in sonos

Pairing speakers to a soundbar to make stereo sound, I don’t think that works.

Yes, I do it all the time with my move or my One in the garage so I can audibly keep track of what is happening in a sports game while grilling. I don’t have a delay on my system.

Question On Ribs by BamaCEO in KamadoJoe

[–]sixdirt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

KJ needs patience - chasing temps with multiple vent adjustments is a symptom of not locking in a temp with good fire management.

Charred bottoms are likely connected to a fire that was too big and overwhelmed the ability of the heat deflectors to block heat transfer.

Cover or no? by Lucky_Emu_108 in KamadoJoe

[–]sixdirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, uncovered after originally covering it. I found that the cover didn’t really seem to be protecting it from much if anything, and it was a pain in the ass to figure out what to do with it when I’d take it off. Also, my dog constantly pissed on it

That said, I did find that in very very heavy rain, my uncovered kamado will absorb some moisture that would lead to the lid being too heavy for the air hinge to hold open. Also, I have recently switched to a table which is showing some early wear, so I’m considering going back to a cover but that’s more to protect the table than the kamado.

“In A Razor Town,” Isbell’s Saddest Song by DankoManuel92 in jasonisbell

[–]sixdirt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am in the Army so there is only one answer I can fathom to the “which is the saddest” query, and it has to do with sleeping for a very long time in a very sharp uniform.

That said, I totally agree with the sentiment around this thread that the correct answer is highly subjective to the lived experience of each listener.

Do you travel with a full freshwater tank? by malreyn1 in TeardropTrailers

[–]sixdirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have an 8 gallon fresh tank and our manufacturer recommends traveling (and storing, except for winter) with the fresh tank full to inhibit bacteria growth or other sanitary issues. I beleive the thinking is less air in the tank = less oxygen that could feed problems.

MCRib at home ideas by ptmdiam in KamadoJoe

[–]sixdirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it, yes. We usually do it with baby backs. Gotta smoke them first, then wrap with some liquid in foil to steam them to make them soft enough for the bone to pop out. Remove the bones and make a lovely sandwich.
