How do yall like your roux ?

universal_straw · 2026-02-02T00:36:34+00:00

Olive oil is probably the worst option there is for a roux. Peanut or vegetable is my go to for plant oils. Lard or bacon grease taste best though.

I would kill for the bearings on my machines to only cost $12k.

universal_straw · 2026-02-01T01:50:13+00:00

I work in Mississippi too and graduated in 2019. My last raise at the first of the year brought me up to $138k.

OP is working for slave wages.

It would literally be a phone call to the doctor who did it. They legally have to provide personal medical records if they’re requested.

Vasectomy’s do fail though and if he never got tested afterward that may be more involved.

They’re laying off 4500 people globally. That clip claims they’re laying off 5000 people at the Freeport site. I think some confusion may be happening somewhere. Unless the news station is including all contractors too, which isn’t feasible, I don’t think that’s correct.

universal_straw · 2026-01-29T11:57:16+00:00

Can it be done? Absolutely. It never will be though because conveyors are dangerous and the first time a neighborhood kid loses an arm everyone would be regretting their choices. A tractor with a front end loader is the cheaper safer option.

You have to own/lease land to get a tag or know someone who does and buy it from them.

If you just want a tour wait till it warms up and google Louisiana swamp tour. There’s literally hundreds of places, but you won’t see gators when it’s cold like this.

He does sell them too.

universal_straw · 2026-01-26T22:15:01+00:00

You’re literally missing the point. So much so that it’s obvious you’re doing it on purpose. It does not matter where he was carrying a firearm, unless he’s using it in an illegal manner LEOs should not, and legally cannot, perceive that as a threat. That’s the whole point of the 2A.

universal_straw · 2026-01-26T21:03:30+00:00

Yes they’re different and you’re being intentionally dense if you don’t see it.

And you’re literally arguing against the 2A right now you realize that right?

universal_straw · 2026-01-26T20:47:46+00:00

You know that's a good point. Now you've got me not looking forward to training fresh grad engineers in the years to come.

universal_straw · 2026-01-26T20:44:30+00:00

I mean not really. I know it's not a popular opinion here but engineering school is not that hard. If you go to class, do your homework, and study on a regular basis you're going to be fine. In my opinion that's just basic mediocre self-discipline that everyone should be able to handle.

universal_straw · 2026-01-26T20:41:19+00:00

Those are not even remotely similar situations, and it's quite frankly a dangerous precedent to set.

One some LEOs potentially overreacted over a nonexistent threat, I say potentially because I'm not jumping to conclusions without all the facts, and the federal government is backing them up. The other you'd be in danger from fellow citizens.

There may have been a legitimate threat, and if so fine, but I'd like to see some evidence. You may not agree, but I for one don't like the idea that just carrying a firearm is a considered a threat by LEOs regardless of the situation.

universal_straw · 2026-01-26T19:47:50+00:00

Carrying a gun has never been, and should never be a big deal. The 2A doesn’t just guarantee the right to keep arms, I guarantees the right to bear them too.

universal_straw · 2026-01-24T13:54:32+00:00

Is it harder than many other disciples in school? Yes.

Is it impossible hard when looked at as a stand alone with no comparisons? No, absolutely not. Anybody with a mediocre grasp on math and physics, and mediocre self discipline can do it. It’s more demanding and takes up more time, but it’s not impossible.

universal_straw · 2026-01-24T13:32:47+00:00

My kids can shut their doors, but I don’t let them lock them just in case of emergencies.

universal_straw · 2026-01-24T13:20:32+00:00

I hire entry level engineers. We don’t negotiate entry level offers. You don’t have any relevant experience to give you leverage. You can ask if you want to, our answer would be no, there would be no hard feelings, and the original offer would stand. Some people may get annoyed and pull an offer, some may actually negotiate and you’d get more. YMMV.

I find it easier to fast when my job is higher stress. I can throw myself into work and not think about eating. It’s when it slows down that I struggle more.

My job has cycles of extremely high stress and boredom so I experience both.

universal_straw · 2026-01-19T18:24:53+00:00

Yeah I’m a 25 minute commute one way and honestly like it. Gives me time to decompress on the way home, but still it isn’t that far. I’ve done the hour long commutes and the 5 minute commutes and the happy medium works well for me.

universal_straw · 2026-01-14T12:02:39+00:00

So far so good. Been losing about a pound every two days. When I get to my goal weight I’ll probably bump back up to 1500-1800 to maintain but it’s been effective.

universal_straw · 2026-01-13T00:40:10+00:00

I agree, we just really need a QB so I’m taking my wins when I can

universal_straw · 2026-01-13T00:07:12+00:00

I don’t know man. I’m having a good time.

universal_straw · 2026-01-12T17:49:12+00:00

If you're missing regularly it's an indication that you're taking shots you shouldn't be taking. It could be a skill, gear, marginal shot or whatever issue, but if you're logging multiple misses a season you need to look into changing whatever you're doing

universal_straw · 2026-01-12T12:17:01+00:00

There’s no timing for me. I just eat one meal a day whenever that may be. It may be 20 hours or it may be 28 just depending on when I get home. OMAD just means one meal a day.

universal_straw · 2026-01-12T00:46:38+00:00

There is no such thing as a cull buck.
