Paint that stripe with your broad brush, JS. My wealth has increased more over the past three months than it would have if there were no shutdown. It would continue to do so if things remained the way they are. That’s right, I benefit from the “shutdown”. My “agenda” isn’t about me. It’s not about me, you, or any other individual on this thread. It’s about the majority of the people in this country. I would drink a COVID cocktail if it meant our children didn’t have to suffer through a massive depression. Hell, I’d drink one if it meant I’d never have to suffer some of you idiots who think you’ve got life all figured out while simultaneously spewing some of the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard.17 points

Tara Reade might be a victim of sexual assault. She might be a liar. She might be a self-serving attention seeker. She might be all three at the same time. Reality is we'll never know. It drives Trumpers crazy because Dems are using the same back-peddling, cover-up sorts of tactics to excuse this away -- she's a fraud, it's not credible, there's no proof, etc -- that Trump defenders do for the allegations against him. And just like on the Trump side, few voters are going to stop voting for Biden because of this. Trumpers and Republicans call this behavior two-faced or hypocritical. But it's not. When Biden has dozens of accusers, let me know. When Biden states that he grabs unsuspecting and uninterested women by the pussy, let me know. When state leaders have such a solid case of cover-up regarding sexual impropriety that it's being heard by the US Supreme Court, let me know. When Biden openly insults women about their looks, let me know. When Biden has multiple failed marriages and marries an illegal alien 20+ years younger than him, let me know. When Biden says his own daughter is so beautiful that he's consider fucking her, let me know. And that's just sexual misconduct, some of which is likely illegal and trauma-inducing for victims but most of which is just distasteful and morally repugnant. We haven't even talked about the stuff that matters -- the real, horrifying, nation-ruining shit that Trump has done that not only distinguishes him from Biden but also from any other president in history. So yeah, Reade's accusations aren't really moving the needle for many Dems.11 points

A lot of people won’t be living if they can’t fucking eat you fuck. A lot of food pantries and churches won’t be feeding people either when the generous folks can no longer feed their own fucking families, let alone donate $$ or food for others to eat. Jesus Christ, some of you fucking ingrates can’t seem to see past one line of a pint and understand the actual logic behind it. you’re the same fuckers that we’re screaming a month ago about “Testing Testing testing!!” Well, we’re doing far more testing now than we were 3 weeks ago. And we have about as many and perhaps slightly increased positive results, with more people out and about than 3 weeks ago. And you know what? The fucking hospitals are not overrun, the percentage of positive tests has declined, the hospitalization rate and intubation rates/lengths have declined. but apparently that’s still not good enough. Where will you move the goal posts next?11 points

Had a bit of dispute last time I posted about "beef ribs" in here regarding the definition of "beef ribs" - well, there will be no dispute on this post. I'm in Thailand. Went to a butcher, ordered a rack of ribs. They got me a rack of ribs. I thought they were a pork supplier. They are a beef supplier. I have never done this before, but I know the fundamentals. So, I have a rack of ribs. Quite a surprise. Barely fit in my cargo area. It does not fit a Kamado Big Joe. Color is different as it thaws. I know the "traditional" way is asado, on an iron cross with open wood coals, coarse salt only. Image stolen from countryfirekitchen.com I don't have that available, I have my Kamado. So, I sawed up the ribs into 3bone sections, 3 sections per length of bone, with a miter saw (bought at the home improvement store on the way home, because I didn't have a saw). Wasn't that bad, bone cuts like soft wood, but was very awkward due to holding with one hand and sawing. As you can see from the pic, I didn't exactly have a real work area. Had some cardboard boxes and the ground. (Not beef rib content:) Kamado had just finished up dual zone cooking, some lamb loin chops hot and fast, and some picanha reverse sear. Note, the locals don't quite understand that picanha ends at the 3rd vein from the end, this is clearly sirloin and would not be acceptable as picanha to a traditional. Much tougher than picanha. I trimmed the proper picanha portion and froze it for later. Added a bunch of coal, reconfigured for indirect cook, with 3 layers of grates. (Back to beef rib content:) Went with the safe and sure salt and pepper, 50/50 by weight. Didn't go as heavy as I would a brisket only because I have no idea how this will turn out and can always season more when eating, or use the meat in tacos or chili. Top pieces got AGC Himalayan Sherpa rub (salt, pepper, garlic powder) because I ran out of my S&P mix and it was nearby. With 3 racks, everything just fit. Dome temp is currently 225, I'm not really shooting for anything specific, 225-300 is all ok. Didn't put in meat probes, didn't put in grate probes, figure a cut this wild should be allowed to cook somewhat wild. Will only judge doneness via probe tender. I put the segments of rib with the least meat on the lowest rack, since I won't be able to probe them easily and if they overcook I waste the least meat. At the least they provide an extra layer of heat deflector to protect the meatier sections above. Now 1hr in, bones starting to poke: Don't know what animal this comes from, could be an old steer for all I know. Meat didn't feel tough when cutting and rubbing. Might turn out terrible, don't know what I'll get. If I was less exhausted from sawing I would have trimmed pretty aggressively, there's a lot of gristle, fat, silverskin. I'm cooking with local lump charcoal, villagers make it with scrap wood they cut down on their land. It has random wood and random scraps in it, I often find square cut pieces of construction lumber. Flavors are random, burn is random. Slid a piece of imported mesquite into the ash drawer, not sure if it'll give much smoke flavor. Will update as this goes. I'm expecting 3-5hr. I've definitely already enjoyed this experience. If the results taste good, it's all bonus.8 points

First, nobody has said this is your fault, so ditch the insecurity. Perhaps a better question would have been to ask you your financial situation, because you have consistently come across as somebody who is financially secure for whatever reason. That is not a jab at you, it's great for you that you are financially secure - the reason why that matters is that you don't seem to grasp the situation that millions and millions of Americans are in. You are apparently able to work from home and observe all of the protocols that the experts recommend. And before you say "well, their parents or grandparents will die if we open things back up early", I'm well aware of that. We all are. Wife and I do grocery runs for two different households, one for in-laws over the age of 65 that have Ye Olde Preexisting Conditions, and the other for a neighbor who I think is in her 80s. We've been doing this for almost 2 months (before the shutdowns really got going), and it gets old wiping everything down for them before carefully dropping it off (even if the wiping down is unnecessary, it makes everybody feel better). Both my parents are around 70 and have some of those preexisting conditions as well. This thread has 840+ pages, and I was posting on the first page, on January 22. Shit, I was making jokes on the 23rd that if I was on the medical staff of those hospitals in Wuhan, I'd be getting the fuck out of there, because it was clearly not the typical flu like some were claiming that it was. I would love it if we could try and keep things locked down like we had been doing prior to May 1st (even if it was not a draconian lock down like China, it was still helping). As a matter of fact, I posted some stuff from a state official concerning opening things up, and bitched about it in this thread, and so for almost two weeks, Immamac or Blacklab had to individually approve my posts to make sure they weren't political. So I'm pretty sure I'm in the "pro-lockdown" crowd. But unfortunately, there's a shitload of people who are in a situation where that is not an option for them, because there are no more stimulus checks on the horizon, and their jobs have either went away, are going away, or at the least are in jeopardy, and so they've got to get out there and find work. Hell, it's not just the lower classes either - we live in a very pricey neighborhood, a neighborhood we can't even afford to buy in so we rent, and as a result our neighbors and friends are mostly middle-to-upper class economically. As this has gone on, I'm hearing a lot more of them who are not quite shitting bricks, but they are keeping an extra pair of underwear handy. People who are making plenty of money and in a position to work from home, are all of the sudden finding out that their business relies on other companies that can't do work-at-home, that can't stay closed and eat the costs. One of the moms of our son's neighborhood friends is a real estate agent who we're good friends with, and she mentioned that a whole lot more people in the area have been quietly asking her and other real estate agents about estimates for their homes if they have to sell and move elsewhere. They are not looking to sell just yet, but the current situation, combined with possible problems in the fall are causing a lot of anxiety. My wife and I are lucky enough that we can both work from home, and our jobs are not threatened by this (matter of fact, I have some additional work that came in as a result of this). We don't even have any debt, so we don't have to worry about creditors breathing down our necks if this goes on. We are going to try and keep our social distancing going, along with the masks and gloves, because the folks we are helping to look out for are elderly and compromised, and they are concerned. And I happen to think, based on what I'm seeing in person, and from conversations with others, plenty of us are still going to take those precautions for the foreseeable future, while trying to ride that line of letting our kids be kids, and giving them some kind of the social interactions they so desperately need with their peers. Are there enough of us that have that mindset out there to help make a dent? Time will tell, but a lot more people than you think are taking this a lot more seriously than you think, and are going to continue doing so. But don't forget those folks and businesses who are at the end of their rope financially.8 points

It has been a terrible week -- today we lost the nicest dog to ever walk the earth. Abby had a bunch of seizures Wednesday, got worse Thursday and spent the day at the vet. When we picked her up yesterday, she couldn't stand, swallow, or see. After no improvement, we had her put out of her misery this afternoon. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you hug your dogs extra tight and tell them that they're good dogs.8 points

Last week I was binge watching King of Queens and it got me to wondering how much longer Jerry Stiller would be with us.

Same bone at 6hr. Most of the pieces that I can reach are probe tender, there are 2 that still need a little more on the thicker sections. Letting them all ride another hour I think. Photos using flashlight as it got dark out. All of the bones have pulled wayyyyyy back. The Kamado has been running 225-250, creeping up very slowly as the drippings increase, and I've been closing the air intake more and more. It's down to about a pencil width now. The heat deflectors are absolutely coated in liquid, also making a heavier oil smoke that darkens the bark considerably. Definitely need a cleanout burn after this cook.7 points

This thread really has become unbearable, some of y’all need to take an internet break, jerk off to Fox News or Slate, and pound some whiskey. Hugo needs to be banned from this thread..:not necessarily just because of him per se, but of the constant churn and discord he brings via both his high frequency posting and the shit he stirs with a collection of people from a certain political lean...intentionally or not. Why the hell don’t y’all put him on ignore? Shut the fuck up about CR ya fucking babies. I swear the constant whining comes from people who either posted there frequently or got shouted down. Yes the prevailing mood right there is a left-leaning echo chamber, get over it, if it hurts your giant penis then go browse old threads at TOS...when I first joined Shaggy it was a right win echo chamber about buttery males, pizza gate and all that shit...I didn’t let it hurt my giant penis, it’s giant so it’s got nothing to prove. Someone posts something vaguely political, just ignore it and don’t get all HOA Karen on us. This thread was interesting and a good source of information until recently...and now the BD thread for people banned from THIS thread is becoming a fucking wasteland as well. Some of y’all have lost your damn minds...put Hugo and those that constantly whine/engage him locked in the BD thread, and let the rest of us engage like fucking adults ya fucks.7 points

Look, people can keep dunking on you and making you look like an idiot or you can stop posting...it’s up to you. it’s completely clear that you don’t understand that nobody has currently closed the economy and that the “opening” has almost nothing to do with “big government” and has almost everything to do with consumer confidence and safety concerns. Exhibit A is Georgia, where traffic is nowhere near what you “open everything” morons would like. You and the other idiots should be pushing for testing and contact tracing like your betters and stop whining about “killing the economy” but you are too busy sucking Gruhorns’ carrot. It is time for adults to speak, so your time should now be over. Go post on the DT idiot thread.7 points

Okay, this is way overdue. We are at a turning point right now. We should start to see effects of opening soon. That wiggle in the Big chart: We are in a slow decline. If we were to keep going on this path, we likely could suppress the virus by April 2021. And we wouldn't even have the herd immunity to prevent another breakout at that point. Last time I posted I said "I'm in the controlled-spread camp and think we need to open up a bit. Suppress and contain won't work and can be detrimental to both beating the virus and the economy to even attempt." That's far more true now. Lower left chart: Fatality rate is steady. There's no reason for it to change yet, so it's a good sign for the model. We have less than one-fifth of a reasonable goal I set for herd immunity (which is the top of the chart). This will get re-evaluated as we open up. We are kind of in a blind spot right now as to overall strategy. We know the extent of how hard we can shutdown. Over the next few weeks we'll see the results of re-opening. Where we go from there is an enigma.7 points

Shit's scary as fuck. Our COVID+ ICU is currently full, but we can expand into the rest of the medical ICU for a few other beds. But y'all know COVID people aren't the only ones who need ICU-level care right now, yeah? Other acute/chronic medical issues and trauma don't stop attacking the population just because the 'Rona is in town. We can't save every bed for COVID unless you want Med/Surg RNs caring for critical patients (no shade, but it's an entirely different field of nursing, and people will die). Our PPE situation is slightly better in that we are no longer reusing thin paper gowns. We have thin plastic gowns that we are able to wash and reuse, so you get a new gown and gloves every time you go into a room. But you better not need a new N95 or face shield! At the end of our shift, we have to place the masks into a bin for "recycling," which is a fancy word for being sprayed with poisonous gas, left to air dry, and returned to the unit with "acceptable performance." They say they can do this to a mask 20x before the masks degrade. They say. But anyone who regularly wears an N95 can attest to the fact that after the first use, it's incredibly difficult to get a complete seal every subsequent time you use the mask. Furthermore, even though universal masking is in place—that is, everyone wears at least a surgical mask while in the hospital—you certainly aren't allowed to wear an N95 from home because that would make people without home N95's jealous and non-COVID patients nervous. Yes, they will send you home without pay if you fight about it. My work wife, an amazing trauma nurse with a newborn, was sent home last night because she wanted to wear an N100 that she had sourced. A quick pro-tip: if you find yourself in the hospital for Coronavirus and the doctors and nurses are telling you that you need to lie on your stomach to help prevent yourself from getting intubated, please believe us. You'll find it a lot less awful than waking up with a tracheostomy because we can't get you off the vent otherwise. Headed back tonight.7 points

That’s our best hope at this point. Everything Golfclap says here. Doesn’t mean we can’t still hope. But at the end of the day this staff just needs to perform this fall. If Herman wins everything falls into place. If not, Hermans toast anyway. So there isn’t too much reason to fret since it’s entirely out of the hands for anything other than wins. It’s not talent. It’s not academics. And in most cases it’s not even recruiting. Just wins and production. We beat LSU and OU and make noise, we’ll get a lion’s share. We don’t and Herman is done.6 points

Done. I should have pulled everything earlier, I think I was waiting for too tender, or these simply don't have enough meat to be treated like a brisket. Straight off the grill, bottom pieces are what the bottom layer came out like, top piece is one of the thick pieces: The thinner pieces down bottom are completely dried out (though they had so much intramuscular fat and collagen that they basically "fried" themselves dry, so the meat is this crunchy, flaky "crackling" like a chitterling.) Actually very pleasant to crunch on. This is a bottom piece, it should LDAF if your monitor is calibrated correctly: The thick pieces became similar to a dense dino rib. Again I let them go too long, they rendered beautifully and are a gooey collagen mess, but the fat is mostly gone, when I squeeze it feels like a thick jello, no oil flows out. The bones twisted right out, very tender, great flavor. Thick piece, this should not LDAF: After pulling the meat, I opened the vents to burn off what drippings I could, right now doesn't look like I'm getting more than 400'F, either the fuel is gone or airflow is clogged, when I added coal I dumped the bottom half of an old bag, which was mostly small pieces that tend to block air flow. May have to do another clean burn with new coal tomorrow. Easy enough. Deflectors after I pulled the meat: Lessons learned: Shouldn't have waited for the thick pieces to finish, the wait resulted in the thin pieces being way overcooked. If I do this again, I'd stack the larger/thicker down below, the thinnest up top, so I could pull the thin ones as they finish, and remove each set of grates as I worked down. The way I stacked them with thinnest at bottom, I couldn't get the finished thin pieces out without unloading all the other pieces and racks, and I was simply too lazy to go through that. I robbed a top piece at the 4hr mark and it was a little chewy from not complete rendering, but juicy from fat and moisture. Somewhere between the 2 extremes I tried is the sweet spot. This was the cutaway of a thinner top piece at the 4hr mark, can see it's not quite rendered, but can also see plenty of fat and moisture: Would I do this again? If I could get the butcher to saw the sections for me, absolutely. The cook was actually incredibly easy, the hand sawing was a PITA. With smarter placement and removal of "done" pieces, I think I'd get great yield. I actually think sections in a kamado may be a better cooking method than whole on an iron cross, as it's easier to remove sections as they're cooked. Flavor was great, I wouldn't change my S&P amount or proportions one bit. Smoke flavor was light, not bitter, which I've had happen on the random village charcoal here, so I consider that a win. Smoke ring was one of the better I've gotten on a Kamado, very happy with the cutaway. The bark is darker than I'd like, probably because of all the drippings smoking off the heat deflectors. Not sure I have the height for a drip pan if I triple rack, but I certainly could if double rack, which should cut down the oil smoke. The rack of ribs cost me about $70usd, fairly cheap as far as beef goes here. Coal costs near nothing here, this cook used less than $3 of coal. All in all, considering how much of a surprise this cook was and how little care I put in to it, I'm happy with the results and really happy with the experience. This was fun.6 points

Oh this is rich coming from you. The entire pandemic you've been making CR-implied or worse posts that (just coincidentally, I'm sure...) all seem to point the blame in one direction. But I don't recall you posting on this thread about the scandal of certain states forcing nursing homes to take in COVID-19 patients. Hmmm, I wonder why... Most wouldn't have a problem with your posts and legitimate criticism on this thread if it wasn't so blindingly one-sided and agenda driven. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/11/nursing-homes-us-data-coronavirus Privately compiled data shows such deaths now account for more than half of all fatalities in 14 states, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Only 33 states report nursing home-related deaths. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/20/832034662/discharging-covid-19-patients-to-nursing-homes-called-a-recipe-for-disaster ...Nonetheless, some of the largest states are now ordering nursing homes to accept patients who have been discharged from the hospital but are still recovering from COVID-19. These state directives have been strongly condemned by the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. Dr. Sabine von Preyss, chief medical officer for Avalon Health Care Group and president of the society's Washington state chapter, says that a distinction must be made between nursing homes that have suffered COVID-19 outbreaks and those that are still virus-free. "The question is, should we be forced to introduce a disease with such deadly potential into a population that has been sheltered?" says von Preyss. "And my experience tells me that would be ill-advised." Also, it won't even help overcrowded hospitals, says Dr. Michael Wasserman, who heads the California Association of Long Term Care Medicine. "If you push folks out of the hospitals to make space and you push them into nursing homes a couple weeks later," Wasserman says, "for every one of those you send to the nursing home, you may get 20 back in the hospital." New York and New Jersey both have ordered nursing homes to admit patients regardless of their COVID-19 status. California had a similar directive. And then suddenly, as of March 30, it didn't. After a couple of days of outcry from the medical community, the state softened its instruction. It now says that a nursing home "can be expected" to receive residents who test positive for the virus if it is able to follow the infection control guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Tony Chicotel, a staff attorney with California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, isn't satisfied with the change. That's because the state let stand the emergency waivers that allow nursing homes to temporarily expand capacity and reduce staff. "We're going to have, potentially, a lot more residents crammed into nursing homes," says Chicotel. "You're going to cut the staffing minimums at the same time. And then you're going to introduce perhaps the most efficient killer of older adults into the building? You've got a recipe for disaster in nursing homes." Despite requests from NPR, neither New York nor California officials made themselves available for interviews to discuss the policies.... https://nypost.com/2020/04/24/new-york-nursing-home-denied-requests-to-send-covid-19-patients-to-usns-comfort/ ...Cobble Hill Health Center CEO Donny Tuchman sent a desperate email to state Health Department officials on April 9, asking if there was “a way for us to send our suspected covid patients” to the hospital built inside the Javits Convention Center or the US Naval hospital ship Comfort — the under-utilized federal medical facilities on Manhattan’s West Side. “We don’t have the ability to cohort right now based on staffing and we really want to protect our other patients,” Tuchman wrote in a chain of the emails reviewed by The Post. He was denied. “I was told those facilities were only for hospitals” to send their overflow patients, Tuchman said. At the time Tuchman sent his plea, only 134 of the 1,000 beds at the Javits Center were full and the Comfort — which had just been reconfigured to treat up to 500 COVID-19 patients — had a mere 62 on board. Adding insult to injury, the Navy hospital ship wound up treating just 179 patients before Gov. Cuomo on Tuesday said it was no longer needed. The Comfort remained docked at Pier 90 with 29 patients on board Friday but was expected to return to its homeport in Norfolk, Virginia, as soon as possible... ...Under a controversial March 25 order, the Health Department barred nursing homes from refusing admission to “medically stable” coronavirus patients....6 points

Not to get too personal but I have a young child who needs special education, which has been cancelled because of all of this. This has set her back probably 6 months in development time that she could have had in trying to get her in shape to attend normal school, year after next. If she doesn’t get back into her normal therapy soon, she doesn’t stand a chance to get into public school, which of course dramatically alters the rest of her life. Ready for this shit to be done with. To all the other parents out there with young kids, hang in there.5 points

The shutdown was never supposed to last long. Just long enough to implement the necessary precautions like mandatory masks and ramp up testing while getting ready to open back up. Only our dear leader and his pack of cronies did everything possible to sabotage the potentially successful strategy by calling for protests and refusing to issue mask mandates. The virus caused a necessary hit to the economy and job market but Republicans have sabotaged the only realistic path to properly navigating it and limiting the damage. Since they've sabotaged it and there is no realistic way now to mitigate the damage while also not serving the vulnerable (of all ages) to the proverbial wolves it really makes no sense to take half measures. The only real option left is to go full open and try to put out fires as best as possible while taking the damage and death head on. Republican politicians and their idiot followers have done this to us.5 points

This is a little CR. I think that there are a few people who are upset that this didn't bring about the "liberal enlightening" that they were hoping for. I hate CR. This virus is not political and I hate the fuckers who try to make it that way. There is a way forward and if the partisans would (or could) set their views aside, we might find our way through and out of a destroyed economy and a health crisis. I have little hope of that because the 15% on both sides can't seem to do that. They would rather point and make fun of the other side.5 points

You and I don't interpret language the same way. Obama was far and away the most thoughtful, deliberate speaker of the last 9 Presidents. He might have dropped a colloquialism now and again, but he was always able to take his time, think through what he wanted to say, and then do so in complete sentences. Comparing him to W is ludicrous.5 points
