I know not ALL black people are violent. The issue is I don’t know WHICH black people are violent.

that probably says more about my grilling skills

preferably over an open flame

I’m afraid I’m gonna have to agree with you.

Use hardwood lump charcoal, not briquettes. Build a tall pile, not a wide one. Light it with paraffin wax or vegetable oil, not lighter fluid. Wait for the flames to die down and the charcoal to start turning grey. Spread the pile out and cook over the glowing coals. If flames lick up when you put the meat on, move the patties away from the heat.

Cover while cooking to trap heat and cook evenly, but open the vents on top and bottom to keep the fire going. An open-top grill won’t cook evenly.

Flip them once, maybe twice. Don’t play with the meat. Don’t smush them into the grill to flatten them. Cover them and let the grill do the work.

Use a meat thermometer to determine when they’re done. Eyes and fingers lie, the meat thermometer doesnt.

You want low heat, long duration (also called “low and slow”). If juice is running out, the heat is too high. Use indirect heat if you have to; coals on one side of the grill, meat on the other side. If you see smoke, the heat is way too high. That’s actually moisture in the meat turning into water vapor. If you keep them on the grill like that, they’ll be very dry by the time they cook.

When it comes to pattying the meat, use a spoon to make a bowl on top and bottom. If not, that’s how they cook up into meatballs on the grill.

When you’re done, save the leftover coals by closing all the vents and putting the lid on.

When it comes to smoking, that’s a whole other technique. But I’ll go ahead and tell you, if it doesn’t take all day or all night, you’re doing it wrong. Personally, I love the ritual, but I totally gey why a lot of people don’t. Not everyone likes managing a fire all day long or waking up throughout the night to check on it.

My gas car is paid for, spare parts are cheap and readily available, and I know how to fix anything that can go wrong with it. Plus, my 2001 car doesn’t spy on me.

A new car is tens of thousands of dollars, EV parts are extremely expensive IF you can manage to find them, EVs are designed not to be serviceable, and every car made after about 2010 is basically an iPad on wheels designed to spy on you.

Add to that, I’d have to upgrade my service entrance and main breaker panel, AND install an external 240-volt outlet just to charge the thing fast enough for me to use it daily, and it all adds up to one big “fuck no” for me. It would take decades of ownership for mine to pay itself off, and I don’t think EVs last that long without needing major maintenance, which would only push that back further.

I’d like to have something propane fueled since it’s easy to setup and clean but I could be convinced to go another way.

Please, allow to try to convince you to go another way.

There’s nothing you can do with a propane grill that can’t also be done just as easily, if not easier, than with the oven already in your kitchen. All propane does is make food hot. Unless you just want to be outside in the weather while you cook, there’s no culinary reason to have one.

A charcoal grill, especially one with a smoker attachment, will allow you to flavor your meats in ways that simply aren’t possible with a propane or gas grill.

we sure are getting close to someone’s wet dream of having a dystopian hellscape where people don’t have control over their computers

I’m interpreting the opposite. Currently, if I want my kid’s user account flagged as belonging to a minor, I don’t have that option. If I want my kid’s user account treated differently online, I don’t have that option. This bill gives me that option, and it gives me the option of turning it off if I feel like it, and it doesn’t require me to provide any personal information to achieve that outcome.

I agree that exceptions should be made for open-source. But overall, this seems way less invasive than EU or UK age verification.

So, what am I missing? This is the same asshole that wants every round of ammo to have a serial number, so I know better than to expect reasonable and well-thought-out legislation from this administration.

You mean another one?

Yell slurs on Call of Duty, mostly

Try a Shark. To me, they’re a correctly-priced Dyson. All the same features, same aftermarket options, but about 1/3 the price

A Shark is all of those things for $199

You’re right, we cant. And yet, we are.

Correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation, but every instance of causation is accompanied by at least one correlation.

Disregarding correlation entirely is equally fallacious.

Are you sure? Because what I expected was pretty terrible.

Not an Easter egg per se, since it’s an intended item in the game, but very obscure and easy to overlook.

I found the Karasawa rifle in one of the Armored Core games for PS1 (either AC 1 or Master of Arena, played both a LOT). It’s easily one of the best weapons in the game, has an iconic look, and is wielded by the final boss (who is hard af to beat, btw).

This game was ahead of its time when it came to multiplayer. You could save your custom mech onto your memory card, then plug it in to your friend’s Playstation and go 1v1 against their custom mech.

I remember all my friends’ reactions when I loaded up my mech and they started freaking out wanting to know how I unlocked it. I didn’t know it was possible to miss, couldn’t remember how I unlocked it, and couldn’t do it again when I tried on a new save. For a little while there, I was the envy of the neighborhood with my final boss rifle. I finally copied my save to my friends so they’d quit blaming their losses on not having it

I found a weird, grenade-looking thing in an out-of-bounds section of the first area of Borderlands 1. It was under a cliff with no collision and just floating a few feet off the ground.

In Krom’s Canyon (also Borderlands 1) there’s a cave hidden way up on a cliff at the very start of the area. If you grenade jump up there, about half way in, the floor of the cave doesn’t have collision, but you can carefully grenade jump further in. At the end of the cave, there a single, ordinary loot container with a single, ordinary stack of cash in it.

The floor has no collision. The only way to loot the cash is to grenade jump, open the loot container as you fall out of bounds, then respawn, get up there again, then grande jump and grab the cash as you fall out of bounds again.

Of course, nothing special happens if you do this. Both of these discoveries are probably just portions of the map they started working on, then abandoned for whatever reason, and just never went back and deleted either because they forgot it existed, or they figured no one would ever see it.

At the time, I was convinced I was on to something. This was around the time the devs said there was an Easter egg in the game no one had found yet, so everyone was on the hunt.

The real egg ended up being a QR code textured onto a pamphlet in a stall somewhere. Can’t remember exactly, but I could probably walk there if I booted up the game again.
