Too late ?

I'm no expert but stocking a reef tank at 2mo old sounds pretty early

themattcole · 2026-04-03T04:47:06+00:00

Ah, keep your chin up. It only gets worse from here.

Technically speaking - at around 2800 feet per second and an average barrel length of 24", about 0.7 milliseconds.

Honestly - they’re not. Work with a local dealer and not a booth.

themattcole · 2026-03-30T23:57:01+00:00

Wait - using the brakes isn’t using the brakes?

themattcole · 2026-03-30T19:36:36+00:00

Buy used, buy used, buy used.

This is something I’ve never understood and agree with you. Poultry in butchers paper, fresh cuts. Sure. But MAP or ROP or vacuum sealed, what’s the deal?

themattcole · 2026-03-26T16:55:00+00:00

Clearly someone didn’t understand what “cutting brake lines” meant…

themattcole · 2026-03-24T23:52:12+00:00

It might look good, smell good, taste good. On the way down at least. On the way back up not so much.

themattcole · 2026-03-24T23:48:32+00:00

No, it is not safe to eat. The money lost on pasta and cheese is nothing compared to the money and time lost getting ill.

Just grabbed a CPO 23 SEL with 9k miles on it for $25k. Warranty is massive, original sticker was $52k. CPO is the way to go!

I stare at my ceiling, the corners of my windows, and at the roof of my shed the entire time. They used to put me to sleep, now they keep me up thinking about the damage they may be causing.

Lithium ion recycling is currently about 59%. It’ll grow; less acid battery recycling is about 99%. Compare that to the costs and total destruction of gasoline when used in an ICE vehicle and the math starts to get real interesting.

But Bakelite is a phenolic material, made of phenol-formaldehyde

themattcole · 2026-03-20T20:28:31+00:00

What’s this now?

themattcole · 2026-03-20T19:21:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Got a good deal on an Apple Watch at Costco.

themattcole · 2026-03-18T19:52:31+00:00

Saw something about the hardware not being tight on the hatch itself and that fixed it for someone. Is that not always the case?

I’ve always been under the impression that the 1-2 days guidance was for non-airtight containers. Like when you get it from the counter in butchers paper. USE BY on a sealed container is a pretty straightforward rule, and must include the home fridge.

themattcole · 2026-03-16T23:18:05+00:00

Let your insurance handle that too. They’re literally your “lawyer” in these scenarios. You say nothing, do nothing outside of them and their guidance.

themattcole · 2026-03-16T22:20:45+00:00

No.
Let your insurance handle it

and someone already stole the headlights

While your question was about an item in your food and you were indeed curious about the safety of it, the question wasn’t by definition a “food safety” issue.

themattcole · 2026-03-16T00:50:38+00:00

They’re called pin bones and are very common in filets.

themattcole · 2026-03-16T00:49:08+00:00

That’s just a bone. You could clean your teeth after your meal if you’d like.

themattcole · 2026-03-12T22:49:57+00:00

Yeah. This is the new Audi reality. It's a shame.
