Totally get that, and it makes sense. Still annoying as hell in the rustbelt.

Canned: Moon Man IPA
It’s Wisconsin only, but very, very tasty stuff. If you’re into beer trading, it’s easy for anyone here to get you some. Popular for a reason.

Exactly why I said “fudge it” when putting the new rotors on.

Ugh, we tried, but the heads rounded off on us. Actually, no, one bit broke on us, then the head rounded off.

Honda’s stupid Phillips head screws in the brake rotors drove me absolutely insane replacing them on my wife’s CR-V. Of course they were rusted into place after a few winters on salted roads, and of course I ended up drilling the m’fers out. Give me an Allen head or something I can actually apply torque to, or not…

Diapers!
Otherwise, nothing that we really needed.

Data did it first.

The style just doesn’t appeal to me. Seems like an idea you’d come up with after getting shellac’d.

That sounds really good, and not far off a lot of BBQ’ers who use apple juice when cooking.

This weekend I’m taking a pork shoulder in the slow cooker with apple juice, some red onion, various peppers (want more flavor than bite), and let that roll for a few hours.

Wait, how the hell is Mini that far down the list?

I can hear a BMW accountant pushing price increases in the service centers now.

I personally like using my cheapo backdrop stand. The fabric case is handy to stash the whole thing in the garage or closet when it’s not in use. They’re pretty reasonable on eBay.

Now I’m kicking myself a bit for thinking about it too long!

Double check on the spatula - if you look at the prices from sellers and turn on “lowest price” on size and colors, I found some listed at $12.88 for the pro 16" in a few colors. Not as good as the flat $12, but better than $14.

I would have personally gone with the Halo “Landfall” live action trailer (although maybe it falls more in line with a short film rather than trailer), but it’s one of my personal favorites.

I lump a lot of things into “customer service skills”. Working customer support (retail auto parts, call center, help desk) taught me a lot of how to verbally and non-verbally talk to someone who’s upset about a situation that I may or may not have involvement in, knowledge of, or the ability to fix.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. NO.

The last two weekends I’ve been using Alton Brown’s method (the episode of Good Eats is on Netflix). Hold the veggie/meat with one hand on a surface (like a cutting board), then push the skewer in with your other hand parallel to the surface. Also, instead of having alternating items on each skewer, which looks…

We have been using these as replacement/spares for our staff (who usually forget their chargers in a hotel or customer site 1-2x a year). They like them well enough that they’ve started asking for these instead of the factory chargers from the start because they have two fast charging ports on them. So far, no issues…
