So they perpetually overheat?Exactly.
Taking a peculiar design inspiration from the Mako Sharks of yore, the Z06 and ZR1 will die if they ever stop moving. -
Where are you? Downtown had great food everywhere.Which restaurants do you recommend? -
No. Lots of good restaurants, but not BBQ yet.Urgent help needed. I’m in Denver. Is there and joint (pun intended) that sells really good smoked brisket here? -

Virtually nothing you and your clan did would be on my family’s list of mountain vacation activities. The problems start there.
Yeah, I must have missed the hiking, fishing, mountain biking and four wheeling parts of his story.

Yeah, my 2 always want sushi for their birthdays. I have to order some rolls first because they will eat all the nigiri in about 2 minutes.Saw that whole chicken fingers are all they'll eat with several of the neighborhood families. Fuck that, our kids ate what we ate. We made them try different food from an early age. It cost us more at restaurants, But we never had any of that picky eater shit.
The night our 9 yr old son asked the waiter to bring an order of Calamari for the table, and was their beef Angus we knew we'd created a monster.-

Fuck picky eaters who make everyone else cater to their pickyness.

So how much do you pay for a gallon of this?

Gotta say, I like the High West Double Rye a lot. Nice bottle for the price.

He’s a couple houses away from me. His is unusual, it’s the original house that was back here before the rest of the neighborhood was built so it has a really long gated driveway and about a four acre lot. The rest of the houses don’t have six car garages either.
I need to get to know him better so I can check out the cars.You need to get a ride in the Scuderia or the Lambo.

For those who are saying we are assholes for going after Rhyners, here's the issue. Instead of just saying he didn't care for the meal and leaving it at that, he's going overboard (because he's a chef and therefore the only one who can adequately judge good food). Here are quotes from him in this thread:
QuoteAt the Cosmo now. Great hotel but Momofuku might be the worst meal I've ever had. Over $60 for two bowls of cold ridiculously spiced garbage. Is this place in business by continuously ripping off new visitors?
QuoteWell that's a stupid thing to say to a professional chef.
But hey, if you want cold horribly spiced garbage for premium prices to make yourself feel special like a little princess then you be you.
QuoteSometimes the crowd doesn't recognize quality and gets worked up in hype
Many of us in this thread have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the country and the world. We know good food when we eat it. But because he had one dish he didn't like, he has decided Momo is a shit restaurant and we all must respect his authoritah because he's a chef. David Chang has 7 Beard nominations (and 4 wins). I'd say it's more than the folks on this board who think his restaurants are good.

We moved into a new place about three months ago and are getting to know the neighbors. At a July 4th party I asked one guy what he does for a living and he told me he makes Youtube videos. Turns out my neighbor is the current Cannonball Run world record holder. Super nice guy.
You live next to Ed? That's funny. And your new house must be nice. I've seen his on his channel.

Rhyners, where is your restuarant? I'll come give you some business. If you're good enough to say Momofuku is shit, you must be preparing your James Beard acceptance speech.

4) The menu didn't include mozzarella sticks or potato skins.
5) David Chang is a shitty chef, but Rhyners is the shit.

Your milk texture is very nice. Hard to tell from the angle, but it looks like just the right amount of foam as well. Edit: You made this on the Breville Barista Express? I'm very impressed.
How deep do you typically make the foam layer? Is it roughly 20-30% of the cup?
That one wasn't very deep. I had too much milk that I steamed, so I'd guess that one was 10% foam because I didn't have room for all of it. I usually do more, though. Probably closer to 20%.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. The milk texture looks pretty good.
To give some idea of the milk texture that a commercial machine can produce, here is a cappuccino made on my equipment:
Commercial machines have large boilers and high capacity steam wands, allowing the operator to ingest the optimal amount of air and whip it to produce a homogeneous microfoam. The foam will have a glossy texture and consistency that allows one to pour patterns.
I'll get a shot with a light above it like that one you posted. Mine was in my (relatively) dark office.

Being a chef doesn't mean you have good taste.

There is no substitute for boiler size. The commercial grade machines typically have boiler capacities somewhere around 8-10x larger per group than machines for home use.
I have not used a Barista Touch. What is the difference from the new foaming technology compared to a traditional steam wand? I'm curious how well it works. Would you take some pictures of your cappuccinos and post them?
Here's one I just made in the mug my 12 year old son got me for Father's Day.

I bought a used 2016 about a year and a half ago from Carvana, had about 25k miles at the time, otherwise mint condition. Loved it so far. The engine is great, really smooth, with responsive easy power when you need it. Haven’t messed around with any mods, but it came fully loaded so I haven’t felt the need. Happy to answer any other questions.
I've had the 3.0 a couple times for a loaner when the wife's car is in for service. Really liked my old G37x, and the turbo powerplant is a nice upgrade over my old 3.7 V6.

You're doing it wrong. Momofuku is out-fucking-standing.

@justhookit would probably have good input on this.
This. Offshore in Costa Rica sounds like it might be the ticket.

Apparently the G-Class is a capable off-roader, but just like Range Rover buyers...nobody is taking them off-road.
Yep. It was originally designed as a military vehicle and is very capable offroad, but they are so expensive nobody actually takes them offroad.

What's the big draw with Infiniti? They are nothing but rebadged Nissan vehicles with every model they offer from what I can tell. At least the other auto makers who do the same try to make tweaks here and there to make them look a tad different from each other to where the person who doesn't have an eye for detail might not get the Caddy SUV they are driving is the same thing as the Chevy Traverse. Or they at least have an offering or two which they don't offer with a sister brand. I have two neighbors down the street who have the newer versions of the QX 80 and Armada and they look like the same dang thing save the badge work.
We have a QX80. Probably would have purchased an Armada if it wasn't for that ridiculous 2 tone exterior paint job. There's not a whole lot of difference between the two. But the wife wanted the Infiniti so that's what she got.

how many legitimate SUV -- body-on-frame trucks -- are there still on the market?
Not many, that's for sure. Most folks don't give a shit about offroading. They want to sit up high to have a better view of traffic and they want AWD for when the weather gets shitty. Toyota, Land Rover, Nissan and Jeep are really the only manufacturers who still care about offroading.
