  1. Hah just caught this week's episode, pretty funny with the Hegseth and Saudi sports washing. Gotta love a Turkey Trot
  2. Turned out great and moist and delicious. The truss wasn't that hard to do and the skin was delicious and crispy! Gravy turned out nice with all the root vegetables roasting in the drippings
  3. Brine-thaw update: bird is fully thawed and the thermo read 40F this morning. I tossed in a fresh scoop of ice to keep it below 40 and it's chilling until a little later this afternoon. Really excited to see how it turns out
  4. Gold and silver at least have practical uses and material properties that give them utility. Definitely still speculated upon which drives up the price, but there's actual products and services rendered with gold and silver
  5. Notably, these soldiers are deployed illegally per Judge Cobb's ruling last week. The ruling is stayed till Dec 11 pending appeal https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/20/national-guard-washington-dc-00663137
  6. Not a lot of reporting on this story outside of local news and Fox News, weird. This had some good reporting https://abc57.com/news/two-national-guardsmen-shot-in-washington-dc-according-to-dhs-chief Unfortunate that people are starting to take the bait and retaliate against NG service members deployed to menace local populations Edit: and we should probably update the thread title to be more accurate
  7. Thank goodness we're respected again, right @realgreggym?
  8. Brine temp this morning: still 36F lol
  9. I'm trying the brine-thaw with my bird this year. HEB sells a nice brining bag that perfectly lines a 5gal drink cooler. Bird is in the brine, and it's crept down from 39 to 36F over the last hour. Really interested to see where the temp is in the morning and if I'll need to add a scoop or two of ice to stay below 40
  10. IMO there's real value in going for the Nvidia card for gaming, DLSS is best in class and having access to CUDA is very nice if you have any sort of engineering computation that you're doing. The intel cards are a fantastic value, but they are trailing on driver support and dx11 performance. Vulkan has really closed that gap, but there's still some significant outliers
  11. They've actually come down quite a bit from their peak a year ago. A 5070TI is like $600, down from $950ish, and you can get a 5060 for $250ish and be set for 1080p gaming
  12. Finance Hamas? Believe it or not, pardon! At least if you donate enough to el presidente
  13. Hey now, that AND tariffs! Can't forget that cherry on top
  14. Man what are you talking about? Separating costs and revenues to different balance sheets is totally generally accepted accounting practices
