    Man I’m glad you labeled that container.  Thought the big tub of water with plastic wrapped meat floating in it and a thermometer sticking out of the top was a casserole there for a second

    Do you not have a wife that would store kitty litter or some shit in it if it wasn't labeled?

  2. I shared this in the sous vide thread and thought I’d stick it here too. I put a frozen brisket in a sous vide bath all night, trimmed it, seasoned it, and then put it in my Bradley electric smoker for about 6 hours. Not great. Not bad. Would do again.

  3. My father recently paid about $5k to unwind a 20 year old generation skipping trust and set up a standard will. My brother and I went through all of the conditions he had originally set up in the trust and he couldn’t explain any of it. In fact the trust contradicted many of his current wishes. It became apparent that, as a poster mentioned above, it was originally set up because of my father ‘s ego and desire for control. I think it’s all sorted out now.

    My wife’s side of the family has a corporation set up inside of a generation skipping trust and it is a total shit show that has provided nothing but heartache and grief. I call it the ‘Dis-trust’. It could be dissolved in a year after one of the grandchildren reach 30. This trust was also set up in order to control beyond the grave.

    Avoid.

  4. Don’t understand all the hostility. It’s not a dumb question. The sign has an arrow indicating where you can park. The sign was placed there by the gubmint. Traffic laws also dictate that you can’t drive through a red light, but a cop in the intersection can override that. If a permanent sign says you can park somewhere, it’s not unreasonable to think that it overrides other rules on the books.

    That being said, I’d just pay the ticket. But I bet the parking popo write tickets in spots like that ALL the time. They’re probably getting several people in that spot everyday. So making a fuss about it and getting it moved could be a good way to stick it to the man.


    Your thoughtful and well reasoned response has no place here. Now move along.
