  1. I was thinking about it a bit. It's almost like the aggy roller coaster. Sometimes, they have to win a little, get their hopes up, then their revisiting inevitable defeat is that much sweeter. The never defeated, just ran out of time thing fits well here too, as does his affinity for things that happened in 1939. TLDR; Trump is aggy
  2. Preheat the cooler by putting a container of near boiling water in there for 10 minutes or so. After the briskets rest, wrap them (and the paper) tightly in foil. Don't just put a towel over them. Put as many towels (loosely) over them to fill the airspace between the food and the cooler lid. edit: Anastasis covered it. I posted before reading his post.
  3. I think rice is added to the filling to keep it from being runny.
  4. So much FUPA in that picture. @blacklab would have much to say.
  5. Think of this post as the trailer for the meal I may have as a main course alternative for Easter. This is either going to be incredibly average or last-meal worthy. Saw it on the internet today. Gumbo Pot Pie. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
  6. He's just waiting for his ремни для ботинок.
  7. I read just over 8 million earlier. Trump has 4 million plus truth followers. By comparison, he has over 80 million follows on Twi'x. To quote Gordon Gekko, it's a dog with fleas.
  8. It seems not an ideal way to do it, which drives my assumption that that's exactly what's going on. Habba-Dabba set the whole thing up.
  9. But doesn't the SPAC buy his shares and then take the company public itself. I saw the six month hold mentioned above, but I thought he cashed out when the SPAC acquired T/S. I'm like a different Donny here, out of my element.
  10. . . . with oversight from the SEC, which is an odd twist. Hiding in plain sight?
  11. *Serious post: I have the most basic understanding, but don't the spac investments go into escrow until the acquisition and IPO of the acquired entity is complete? The fact that he already has applied to sell his interest seems like it would put a pretty definite timeline on the "dump" part of this equation. Seems like any benefit as an investment vehicle will be quite short lived given the market share/size of T/S. Clearly, there's a reason I'm not in this business.
  12. Or get them to repair/recone the speaker.
  13. Not traditionally. But consider the beneficiary. And, like a makeshift dildo, can't anything be used for attempted money laundering if you're dumb/brave enough? Also, if the lead-in, dog-baby-talk to that earlier post wasn't a tell, I was being quite facetious, even after the "In all seriousness line." It was a statement based on an assumption of bad faith among all those involved.
  14. First statement: true Remainder: don't nobody know shit but Cannon and whatever cabal is pulling the strings of justice on this one, or, just as likely, Cannon alone or not at all, and it's all flowing from the answer to the first statement. I think the latter two (either she's acting based on bias or she's acting based on incompetence are the most likely. Optimistically, I think its a mixture of incompetence and erring on the side of the defendant in the first-filed prosecution of a former President in U.S. history. If there's money involved, it likely will come to light at some point, and she's not as robust a figure as Clarence Thomas to withstand the fallout.
  15. Who's a good boy? You're a good boy! Yes you are! Want to go for a walk? Outside? Car ride? Squirrel!!! That make sense? In all seriousness, I believe it's called "money laundering." And I hope the SEC is watching this go down with great interest.
  16. I waited to respond to these posts because I've posted about Stanley's plenty before (I live in Tyler and eat there with some frequency). I also was taken aback by your take (and Greenspoint's) on the ribs versus the brisket since I abandoned the ribs a couple of years ago for their consistent mushiness and have found the brisket to be greatly improved over the last five years. So I hit it up for lunch today, I got there at about 11:45 a.m. and only had a few people in front of me (it's a bit rainy, which helped). I got half-a-pound of brisket off the point and 3 baby backs (they threw in the fourth for free). Side of potato salad because I like their potato salad. Here's my 2024 take: Holy shit, they fixed the ribs! The "best baby backs" description may be pretty apt. Tender, fantastic flavor, and just a bit crispy on the outside. I'm glad they changed whatever was causing that mush (I suspected long holding periods). Or maybe lunch is the time to order them. Either way, great show! The brisket was very good---super tender with a nice bark. It was a little more salt-present today versus the 70/30 pepper forward briskets you get elsewhere or compared to what I remember its flavor being from previous visits. I don't mind that though, and it wasn't overly salty for my taste. Overall, it was very flavorful and melted in my mouth, moreso even than the brisket I had last week at Terry Blacks. So I'd push back on the "mediocre" sentiment on that one. I've had their lean brisket plenty of times as well, and it's quite good too. But if it's just me, I order from the point and am consistently happy with what I get. As for the sausage: Since I moved away from their ribs, I've had it plenty. It's not bad, but it's nothing special. For a while, it was a German blend made for them by a local meat market. I seem to recall they switched suppliers at some point and may have switched again recently. But I could see it being received as mediocre. It's fine, but not special. They also have hot links because it's east Texas. I've had them when they've sold out of sausage before but don't bother with them otherwise. P.S. Ah, the Clucker. I've had plenty of them and highly recommend them. Most of the time, I want brisket, ribs, and sausage though. But if it's someone's only visit, I recommend getting one and some to-go boxes.
