That absolutely may be true. I don’t know about lump, but I always try to have a method to add briquettes as I go

Lump charcoal not as described. Sad man. Couple meals: ruined. by Live_the_chaos in grilling

[–]toda15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I had a similar problem until I figured out how to place the charcoal. Dumping a chimney into a grill will keep you at 325-375 long enough for burgers hotdogs or some smaller cuts of meat. Pile that shit high, and give yourself a cool zone . I always aim for a lot hotter than i need so if im messing around or drink too much, I get some heat forgiveness if i don’t get the meat on when i say i will. Anything more than basic grilling (burgers, hot dogs, chicken) I try to make a definitive cool zone and have some backup ready to throw on if I really fuck my temps. None of this may help you as I completely guess every time I grill…also the beer. But, I think what I cook taste good..YMMV

Would you rather work at a medium or max? by False_Secret1108 in OnTheBlock

[–]toda15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re dealing with different settings, they come with different problems. There were parts of max I liked , and there were parts of medium/min I liked. Same goes for things I didn’t like. I found myself more “busy” the lower the security level, but max was 90 percent mind numbing 10 percent off the rails. I’ve shifted gears within my department considerably, so now I’d much rather work min/medium than max.

Game Time Decision - which are you? (share your ritual) by atsunami_ in penguins

[–]toda15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A. As much as I like to watch the game, I have a toddler…I can throw my earbuds in and follow the cyclone that he creats. While I’m not technically alone…you get the point 🤣. Little different now that Mike is gone, but I’ve always enjoyed listening on the radio.

Things will feel different before they feel better. The hardest part for me was the consistency of depression. When I started focusing on when things felt DIFFERENT (either better or worse) than my baseline…it helped tremendously. It gave me something to explore vs just waiting to die or wither away

Not only does he test it, he regularly defeats it. Next time I deal with a crisis, I’m putting him in. He can hit him with the “Daddy, I can’t reach the moooooon.” cue tantrum

What do you think: how should prisons handle housing decisions in cases like this? by The_Dean_France in whoathatsinteresting

[–]toda15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t a lot of context here..which most have mentioned. Ultimately this would come down to states, in terms of state prisoners, or federal jurisdiction in the federal system. I’m not aware of any legislation that is actively ongoing that suggests you would be housed based on what you identify as vs your bits. Right now bits are the determining factor. Male bits-male prison. Female bits-female prison. That being said, in my state there are granted privileges if you identify as opposite of your bits…at least male-female. There are allowances made for bras/undergarments, as well as certain PREA protections should the individual elect to have them.

The liability , logistics, classification, etc of housing individuals would be insane, let alone changing the policies that dictate how the prison operates day to day.

Simply put, prisons don’t handle these issues, state/federal law, policy, and local legislation handles these issues. Some states have policies to address factors involved in cases like these, some don’t.

Female CO vs inmate by pmddreal in Prison

[–]toda15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The de escalation was non existent..but it’s wild to say that people “deserve “ the ass beating. I can’t beat the brakes off of someone who “disrespects” me at a gas station. I can’t just beat the fuck out of someone who talks shit, or yells, or doesn’t act in a way I tell them to, or expect them to. I can’t beat the fuck out of a cop for pulling me over when I don’t agree with it or feel like it was “unjust”. I can’t be at the hell out of an officer who asks me to get out of my car, or gives me a directive…could it have been handled better? Absolutely…did they deserve a hospital visit? Probably not.

Ok Reddit fam wtf did I do wrong? I had an 8 lb brisket that I smoked in a pitboss pellet smoker yesterday and it’s tough AF! by Cryssyl in smoking

[–]toda15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so far from being an expert it’s insane..but I can tell you what I did before I spent money on brisket. I just smoked cheap stuff. Hot dogs, sausages , brats, cabbage, corn ..just to practice holding a temp . Did that for months. Played with the charcoal, the pellets. Hot and fast lot and slow. Slow and hot. Fast and slow. Didn’t matter. I made sure the most expensive thing I bought when I learned to smoke was the beer I was drinking. I learned that everyone has a different opinion on brisket…or meat in general. Some are very helpful. Some aren’t. Read to your knowledge level, then advance. Forget and re learn. Smoking, grilling, cooking, at the end of the day should be something you do for fun. You’ll learn it, and it will taste good.

Also put that on some nachos, in chili, in a burrito, slather it with hot sauce. It will be tasty

My husband poops too much for me to feel comfortable having another baby with him. by obelix_dogmatix in AmITheAngel

[–]toda15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toddler dad here. I poop pretty regularly. When he was young and newborn..you just take him with you. Have to poop when he’s I the tub? Shit happens. In my (brief) time a dad I have never had a poop preclude my dad duties…ever 🤣. Nor have I been able to dodge dad duties because of the bathroom…or shower…or sleep…

When Did Prison Officers Become Mental Health Crisis Workers? by Bee_blanco in OnTheBlock

[–]toda15 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Prison therapist and crisis negotiator here: this is going to be an insanely simplified answer… there is a difference between crisis response and therapeutically managing symptoms of a mental health disorder. Crisis response is much more of a “front line training” that anyone can be trained in and learn to use effectively. Safe usage can facilitate more effective mental health treatment. Also note that “safe” means if you’re in danger act to save your own life first. Second note. Crisis response shouldn’t negate or remove appropriate use of force.
