That smoke ring though

[spark sun]

it's not quite as thick as i'd like

pellet smokers apprently have a tougher time building bark

[tawdry dove]

Damn you!! Now I need to get or diy a smoker

[spark sun]

lol

you welcome moose

[burnt night]

I don't think I've ever had brisket

[spark sun]

i'm gonna get you to spend your paycheck before you get it

it's the same cut as corned beef, @burnt night

[burnt night]

And it's something I've always wanted to try.
I'm gonna have to try to find somewhere here or get back out to the US

[burnt night]

Well, I've had pastrami but that's not like bbq brisket

[spark sun]

it's usually significantly cheaper cut than sirloin or ribeye

brisket here runs $8/lb, NY strip is ~$13/lb

[radiant jacinth]

hello

[spark sun]

Looks good. I got a couple of ribeyes I'm going to smoke this weekend.

[tawdry dove]

Tis a pork chop but ribeye sounds delish

[spark sun]

I'm going to go for a reverse sear on it - smoke it at 200 until i get close to medium rare, then i'll crank up the temp to up max for a sear

[tawdry dove]

The butcher also had the biggest lamb chops I had ever seen

[spark sun]

lamb is tough to get the right cut

[tawdry dove]

And i really wanted one but they were $35 a pound

[spark sun]

too many times, i've bought lamb and gotten sheep

[edgy magnet]

Reverse sears are amazing

[burnt night]

That's some proper deep browning, yes please

[tawdry dove]

Yessss that was a quick rip on the cast iron. Almost too much smoke though

[neon dust]

heyy

[gilded hedge]

Heyy

[dusty sleet]

Wait till you see what I'm working on rn 👀

[radiant jacinth]

still working on it?

[spark sun]

@burnt night @tawdry dove

Reverse sear, initial bake was done on the smoker@200F. Searing was in a cast iron on the grill @450F

[burnt night]

Lawd

[spark sun]

initial seasoning was kosher salt and black pepper, no marinade

[tawdry dove]

That a tomahawk?

Looks delish

[spark sun]

nah, not special enough for a tomahawk. just an ordinary ribeye

maybe next weekend, i'm making a trip to costco saturday

[tawdry dove]

My lamb sausage was meh yesterday. Definitely my fault though

[spark sun]

sausage can be tough

did you grind it yourself?

[dusty sleet]

Ive had camel meat cooked in fat yesterday, cant express enough how tasty it was

[tawdry dove]

Nah I had the butcher do it. They were trying a lamb and pineapple sausage and I messed up by not making sure my sous vide timer started

[spark sun]

Oh, that SUCKS. I really want a string of those now

[tawdry dove]

Yeah it was lamb, pineapple, and what I can only describe as curry spices by the smell

[hot verge]

I'm 0.7% good steak

[frank grove]

Damn that looks tasty

[tawdry dove]

Sear isn't as good as the last one. Didn't use the cast iron this time

[remote sail]

Ya know, if you spent less time cooking and ordered more pizza, you could have more time for hacking. Just a thought 😉

[tawdry dove]

Also is that just a head of garlic chopped in half?

[remote echo]

Correct, then grilled

[meager mason]

I love garlic done that way. It's like candy.

[tawny egret]

I ate at a fancy 5 course dinner place once. One of the starters was half an onion grilled with some cottage cheese I think. It was like candy

[short elk]

can someone help me make lemonade

everytime i've made it it's been tooooo sweet

[remote sail]

use less sugar?

[short elk]

yeah but i don't know how much lol

[tawdry dove]

Get the powder?

[short elk]

powder?

[tawdry dove]

Yeah lemonade powder

[remote sail]

i.e. flavored cocaine

[tawdry dove]

Yeah this one is great

and then you have the pink lemonade mini packets

[silent siren]

add like 1/4 of what you are used too and then do a taste test until happy?

[short elk]

true i'll just do that

unrelated, does anyone know of any websites for summer jobs as a graphic designer for my friend? linkedin and glassdoor don't seem to have much

[tawdry dove]

Maybe UI/UX work?

The only time I hear of that kind of work is when people are freelancing it

[short elk]

hmm she hasn't done too much of that, she 'specialises' (imo) in like poster style graphics, or if you've seen grease, the opening sequence animations in that she does really well

[silent siren]

did she try fivver or what ever it's called?

[short elk]

nah but i can probably get her to have a look on there

but a real job would be better for cv purposes and business experience

I'm going to smoke a meatloaf tomorrow...pics to follow

[tawny egret]

like in a pipe? wouldn't the bread in the meat loaf absorb a lot of bitterness from the smoke?

[pallid citrus]

Not a pipe...guess it's a bullet smoker

[tawdry dove]

A pellet smoker?

Or is a bullet smoker an actual thing

Oh it is a thing. It's shaped like an egg

[rapid summit]

third day of sailing course, and we caught a storm.

[tawdry dove]

Sailing is fun

Especially catching a boom in the chest

[rapid summit]

Didn't do that, but I was shoulder deep in the lake

still on the boat though!

[tawdry dove]

Yeah thankfully it wasn't a big boat so the boom wasn't huge. Still hit like a truck though and tossed me out into the lake

[rapid summit]

I can imagine!

This is a 28' boat.

[tawdry dove]

Yeah this probably wouldn't have been more than 19' I don't think

[rapid summit]

two sails, still?

[tawdry dove]

No single mast

And no headsail?

I think thats the correct term

[rapid summit]

Todays wind was at 13m/s at max, with 18m/s gusts. And I guess the storm front that hit it, the gust was way more than 20m/s

yeah, I guess it's called a headsail.

[tawdry dove]

I wanted to say spinnaker but I think thats different

[rapid summit]

yeah, that's the bag-style sail for sailing in tailwind?

[remote sail]

Is that like an arrow to the knee?

I went sailing once. It ended very badly. Never had a chance to do it again after that

[tawdry dove]

I've only done lake sailing

[pallid citrus]

Does Sea of Thieves count as sailing xp?

[rapid summit]

I've no idea what the specific types of sails are called in English...

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i dont even know the names

I think they also change depending on the boat style

[rapid summit]

they do. And even that boat had three different types of foresails

a roller mast for jib (fokka) and genoa (?) sails, and a spinnaker.

[tawdry dove]

Yeah ive heard of all of those types but all I know is that spinnaker goes in front lol

[rapid summit]

They all do 😄

[burnt night]

Oh no, morning drinking

[tawdry dove]

Guinness is a great breakfast drink

Also this isn't drinking to get drunk. That Guinness would last the entire 80 minute match

[spark sun]

James, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

[lilac gust]

thanks 😄 it was not related to hacking as much as running actually the other day I had a 15k training run (3k further than my longest) and I bombed out at 8k... zzz

[hoary nymph]

Gave +1 Rep to @remote sail

[lilac gust]

training for a half marathon, how do i push these limits, i just feel so defeated

dm me if not really appropriate etc tho haha

[remote sail]

why did you have to stop? Muscle fatigue, or breathing?

[lilac gust]

feet pain and legs, breath/cardio was fine

it was mental i'm sure but feet did hurt

[remote sail]

okay. that's something that does take time to build, but there are also technique issues that make things harder/easier

one really common thing with "new" runners is way too much vertical motion (really bad on your feet and knees especially), and too much arm motion. For the later, just keep your hands open and relaxed, and kinda near your hips. Don't swing them, just let them kinda float there. For the former, it's hard to provide real advice without watching you run. If you feel like you are landing hard on your heels or your feet, shorten your stride a bit. Another sign of that is that your knees might hurt. Shorter stride does mean faster run tempo, which takes a while to get used to, and might feel like more work at first (higher heart rate, faster breathing). But long term it's better for your body

those "barefoot" vibram five finger shoes kinda force you into a natural gait rather than an elongated stride, which most running shoes encourage, but they are hard to get used to

which part of your legs hurt the most?

[lilac gust]

wow cool info, interesting, i just got some new shoes for longer distances but my main pain is feet + calves recently

[remote sail]

what kind of shoes?

[lilac gust]

my other shoes are a lot more similar to barefoot tbh, and i've used them for over 400k and when i run longer distance (over 7) I too often end up sore

hmm well right now for "long runs" (slow and over 5k) i'm using new brookers glycerin, and for my short / faster runs i'm using my old new balance something rather

[remote sail]

so that does like a "typical" running shoe with tons of heel padding

[lilac gust]

the new ones are

[remote sail]

shoes like that encourage you to take longer strides, which means you strike more with the back of your heel than the bottoms of your feet, so that causes knee problems/pain

and this is a problem for practically ALL running shoes

[lilac gust]

these shoes a) make half my foot numb and b) steal my energy BUT

i dont get any similar pains to my older shoes

like my old shoes i hit certain distances and my legs want to fall apart

these are so comfy

[remote sail]

do you by any chance have a good running specific shoe store, or a triathlon store near you?

[tawdry dove]

Also how much stretching are you doing?

Or dynamic warm-ups would be the proper term

[lilac gust]

not specifically no

honestly i hope my new shoes are a problem and a few more tries will be used to it and 'll be fine

like I tell myself distacne is irrelevant right, just slow down and I can do antything, but eventually my brain just mentally breaks me and i have to walk a bit or whatever

[remote sail]

So, part of me wants to say "just slowly build up your endurance", which can take months or years depending on where you're at now. Part of me wants to say "go find a running coach who can analyze your stride".

also- don't be afraid to take walk breaks, that's perfectly acceptable

[lilac gust]

mmmmm both smart, good advice

the mere though of walking is faling to me on a 'long run' - maybe thats the wrong mentality to have

[remote sail]

it took me a long time to be able to do full marathons without a walk break, and probably almost every single ultramarathon I've done I've had to do breaks

[lilac gust]

ultras are something else

[remote sail]

yeah

my longest is about a 100k/60mi. It hurt.

[lilac gust]

yeah no doubt, i have a mate who's done a few of those and has a definite love hate relationship with it

[remote sail]

this might also be something to check out: http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/run-walk/

[lilac gust]

i'll take a look, thanks for chatting to me about it

[remote sail]

yeah, no prob

one thing I would caution you on: it's easy to push past pain into injury. I've done that countless countless times

[lilac gust]

helps a lot, i dont know many who do it and I really want to finih this half marathon in sep

[remote sail]

so I would definitely try to get a real running coach to video your stride. And if you can't, then maybe take a video of your running (from back, front, and side), and send it to someone to review. I can look at it, but I'm not like certified or anything, it'd just be my own opinions based on my experience

[lilac gust]

ok, that is cool and good advice, I may do that actually, I just feel like such a noob even though i've run so much (it feels like)

[remote sail]

how long have you been running/training for this?

[lilac gust]

specifically for this, 2 months so far I guess

its 16 week program and i'm at 6 weeks to go

[remote sail]

link me the program?

another thought: what surface(s) do you run on? Concrete sidewalk? Asphalt? Grass? uneven/off-road trails?

[lilac gust]

https://www.nike.com/au/running/half-marathon-training-plan

asphalt 100%, I did a compltely different run the other day and it was like 400 stairs I didn't know about which ruined my calves for a week

[remote sail]

oh god, yeah

[lilac gust]

hahah

[remote sail]

you think that's bad, do a 'tour de stad'. Go to a big stadium and run up and down every single stair

and then good luck walking for about a week

[lilac gust]

this was bad enough, I ran when I got down but the next day I was broken and it hurt my training sched a little

not much, but a bit

[remote sail]

something else that may seem strange: walking is great recovery/workout/training

you could do like a 10-20mi or whatever walk/hike, and that's actually great training. It does force your feet/tendons/blood vessels/etc to adapt

[lilac gust]

mmmm sounds good too

ok, thanks, good to talk to someone, i'll keep pushing and re-do this weeks trainng, appreciate the info @remote sail

[hoary nymph]

Gave +1 Rep to @remote sail

[remote sail]

yeah, no problem

I would definitely try to go see a running coach and have them check your stride. Or two, since every coach will have several ideas/opinions

listen to your body, though- if it's hurting, then something is wrong. Part of endurance running will always hurt, but there's a difference between just fatigue/lactic acid pain, and doing damage to your body

I've found that line the hard way usually, and it took me years to figure out where my body's limits are, and how to push them without injury

also, I wouldn't worry too much about pace. I'm skimming this running plan, and it's talking a lot about pace. Just do what is comfortable, don't set a target pace or time, not until you become much more experienced and know your body a lot better

a separate conversation we can have is around nutrition and how to fuel your body, before and during the race. 🙂

[lilac gust]

true, thank you for the advice and kind words,i';d never taken anything during an run and i have ruled out a few things that make me really bad during a run (rice) so generally dont eat, pace doesn't bother me so much thought I listen to the guided runs they seem reasonable I guess its only the long run i struggle with

[remote sail]

Yeah, use that as a guide if you want (there are lots of other plans out there too you can compare with), but ultimately, let your breathing and your body determine your pace. Your goal is completion without injury, not to win. So if you need to walk or slow down or whatever, that's fine

[lilac gust]

I feel like on a long run, as soon as I walk i've failed and wasted all my time

probably not a useful mentality

[remote sail]

definitely not a useful mentality 🙂

the whole walk/run method works great for some, works horrible for others

for me personally, it would actually make it harder to start back up, so I would rather just slow down really far, to the point where I'm at a walking pace, then to actually start walking. It really depends on the distance and your body though

I know people who do the walk/run method and love it

[keen totem]

(Former military here: our running exercise included a lot of walking too; it really has its purpose)

[remote sail]

something I started doing when I got into ultras was walking for the refueling/eating parts sometimes. But I had to break ultras into walk phases, I just couldn't do 40+ miles without it

[remote sail]

And lots of ruckmarching

[lilac gust]

ultras are kind of another kinda crazy tho

dont ppl take tents and stuff

[remote sail]

depends on the race

[lilac gust]

not exactly the same as a casual 4hr jog lol

[remote sail]

you might also be thinking of adventure racing, which is also fun/miserable

[keen totem]

And reading a map on the fly silently wishing your eyes were a bit more stable :p

[remote sail]

lol, I could share some "fun" land nav stories

ahhhh the good ol' days

[keen totem]

😄

[remote sail]

but bottom line, don't feel like a failure. Set yourself low/medium/high goals. Maybe something like: 1) show up and try 2) complete it without injury 3) complete it under X pace. If you show up and give it your best, you already win. If you have to quit or get hurt or whatever, that's okay- learn from it and do better next time. I once had to quit a half-ironman at like 50 miles into it. It sucked.

[lilac gust]

alrighty, does make a bit of sense, I guess I feel like if i'm completing all the workouts on the list why is it so damn hard to do the long rnu sometimes, but its likely a combination of factors some i can control and some I cant

breaking through new barriers is tough running for me, like i put up my own mental walls

[remote sail]

I'd really want to look at your running form (video analysis is soooo useful), and your nutrition strategies

or not me personally, but you should have someone knowledgeable do it/help you w/ that

[lilac gust]

I don't take any footage or me running unfortunately

[remote sail]

you may also want to grab: https://smile.amazon.com/Triathletes-Training-Bible-Worlds-Comprehensive-ebook/dp/B01MY7VCIJ

[remote sail]

See if you can find a running coach/running store/triathlon store in your area that can do video analysis. If not, get a friend to film you on a treadmill and I can look at the vids and tell you what I think. Before you do, let me know, and I can show you what I'm looking for

[lilac gust]

sounds awesome, thank you, I have considered joining a club here but feel so amateur i'm not sure how it would be received

[remote sail]

oh don't be scared- most people would probably be very friendly and inviting

there are a few kinds of endurance athletes: the pros/elites, the "wannabe elites" who are really dang good and maybe snobby, the enthusiasts, and the casuals

most people are inviting and friendly to new folks, at least in my experience. The only rude/snobby ones I have run into are the ones who are focused on times/winning/placing/money/etc., and who may be struggling to achieve that

in fact- that ironman I had to drop out, I got back to the waiting area at the same time some of the leaders were finishing the race, they were all super friendly and gave me great advice, even though I'd just dropped out of the race

[lilac gust]

ahhh, haha, understandable, I may look more into it, I always figured i'd get what i need from audio guidance and didn't see value in a club but I have run my best times at actual 'runs' and not solo so maybe there is something to working out with others too

oh wow, thats awesome

[remote sail]

there definitely can be, yeah. More motivation, more competition, having a pacer, someone to talk to and take your mind off the pain, whatever works for you

we all have different needs/motivations, and that can also change a lot during a race

just do what's fun for you :).
One thing I'll caution you about with run clubs, though: everyone will give you a lot of advice, and some of it will be conflicting. Some will be bad or even dangerous. So you have to do your homework, and use common sense, and a lot of it is trial and error. Especially nutrition, that's a very personal thing. What works for me might not work for you. Over time, you'll learn your body better and be able to have a better sense of what is "good" advice and what is not, for you

[lilac gust]

yeah I noticed a lot of pro and during run nutrition seems to vary

what do you feel for you, is a run you need to take any nutrition on

[remote sail]

that book I linked above talks a lot about it. It was always something I struggled to perfect

it depends on distance, temps, and humidity

[lilac gust]

like i've never had any problems or though about it, even running on an empty stomach of a morning up to 10k but i've heard bad things about running further or over 12k etc what even happens, how do you know?

[remote sail]

I got to where I could do half marathons with no water or nutrition. I'd just go out with some chewing gum to keep my mouth moist. But then later on, I started taking gatorade and salt tablets with me, especially for longer runs or in hotter weather

[lilac gust]

i got some gels but taking them feels like more energy than they give me almost

interesting

[remote sail]

what most people seem to do/recommend is a light breakfast- maybe some oatmeal or an egg, some gels, someething like that. You want to eat at least an hour or more before the race, to fully digest it

during the race, anything from gatorade to gels to water to salt tablets, to custom mixes

For my long runs (15+ miles, let's say), I started running with a fuel belt with 4 drink pods, similar to this: https://smile.amazon.com/FuelBelt-3409-Wachusett-Belt-Black/dp/B000FJ6LGS/

[lilac gust]

lol

[remote sail]

fixed the link 🙂

[lilac gust]

that's quite a few extras to run with though

[remote sail]

https://smile.amazon.com/Harbinger-FuelBelt-Hydration-Lightweight-Two-Bottle/dp/B06ZYTJZ8K might be another good option for you

yep, like I said, it's a very personal decision

you might not need it. And during a race, there will be aid stations every few miles with water/gatorade/heed/oranges/gels/protein bars/chicken soup/etc

but double check that- each race is different

[lilac gust]

yeah I'll take note, I'd ideally only like to refuel of any sort once on a half marathon and twice on a marathon but i'll try a half first and it's in september so

still more time to prepare, thank you for all the insight

[remote sail]

no problem :). SOmething that also helps me is chewing gum. I breathe through my mouth when I run, so it gets dry. But gum helps with that

[lilac gust]

I try breathe through my nose inwards and mouth outwards when running but it does take some concious effort occasionally to maintain it

[remote sail]

whatever works for you :). I couldn't get enough air that way

[lilac gust]

might try gum soon and see if it helps

yeah i imagine you were going a fair bit faster than me lol

[remote sail]

eh, I dunno. I wasn't a speedy person

my best marathon was just under 3:30, which was like an 8 min pace

and that was definitely my peak- I was running 100-150 mi/wk at the time and in pretty great shape

[lilac gust]

nutty, one of my friends runs around 4:40 per km and thins he is slow too

[remote sail]

I think my best half-iron was like sub 7hours, don't recall exactly

[lilac gust]

i'm like 6:00 - 6:15 kmph

[remote sail]

maybe 6:30ish

lemme convert kmph to mph

[lilac gust]

and longer distance = slower

well, 4:40 is a 3:20 marathon or so I think

[remote sail]

yeah, that's fast

[lilac gust]

thats insane

[remote sail]

I have a good friend who qualified for and ran Boston, which is a really big deal

he was a sub 3 hour full marathon, don't recall exactly.

[lilac gust]

wow

its so alien how fast that is, like, they are virtually my springing an entire marathon

[remote sail]

yeah. And that again comes back to- everyone is different. So listen to advice, but use what works for you, discard what doesn't. A lot of it becomes trial and error, and that just takes time. The trick/the key is doing that without injury, while you build up that experience.

[lilac gust]

yeah I can definitely agree with that message, injury seems to be the number one thing that slows down progress over tiem

[remote sail]

absolutely

and speaking from experience, I've broken my body in just about every way there is doing all kinds of dumb things. Don't be like me 🙂

part of endurance sports is pushing past the point where your body wants to quit, but you can take that too far and push past injury. I did that a LOT, and I pay for that as I get older.

[lilac gust]

true, I do want to have a slow and steady build up not a hurt myself going to hard

[remote sail]

yeah. SO listen to your body, don't focus on pace, don't worry about taking walk breaks

set a goal just to show up and learn from it. Finish if you can, at any pace. Anything beyond that is extra

there WILL be other races, so if this one turns out poorly, that's okay. Don't get upset about it.

it's an endurance sport, you gotta think long term/big picture :).

[lilac gust]

yep! OK i might beat myself up less over walking a bit on the long runs

not that i've had to do it much the other day was a real downer

[remote sail]

we all have bad days, don't beat yourself up

the way I look at it is this: most of the world is sitting on the couch or in front of a computer doing nothing. If you're just out there showing up, you're already doing great. So just enjoy the moment

honestly, positive mental attitude is key. Use whatever motivates you, but for most people, keeping upbeat about it/staying happy does help

hi friends, Im new to THM, I was trying to learn buffer overflow by https://tryhackme.com/room/bufferoverflowprep , In task 1 there is a VM deployment It shows "This room uses a 32-bit Windows 7 VM with Immunity Debugger and Putty preinstalled. Windows Firewall and Defender have both been disabled to make exploit writing easier." but loading an ubuntu VM, Can someone please help me

[remote sail]

I haven't done that room, so I don't know. Best bet is to ask in #room-help or perhaps #site-support

[zealous pecan]

Tnx alot, I will check

[lavish bolt]

Hi guys, can someone please tell me how to fire up the terminal in windows after connecting to Openvpn. I am new to this stuff

[olive hearth]

Why are you using Windows ?

[keen totem]

Highly recommend you use a VM. It will save you quite some trouble.

[tawdry dove]

I have acquired Chuck for 24 hour sous vide

[radiant jacinth]

what do you guys think you need to become the computer guy at a school? (not saying that i want to god please no) just curious

[tawdry dove]

Depends on the size of the district honestly

Some districts only have one person on staff so they will need to have previous IT experience to be considered, or should have previous experience. Not always the case

[tawdry dove]

24 hour sous vide has been started

[tawdry dove]

Oh shoot. I forgot to add olive oil to the bag

Too late now

[rapid summit]

Happy solstice.

[tawdry dove]

Today is the longest day of the year? It's not even summer

Or "summer"

[rapid summit]

31 degrees forecast for today, so it's damn hot.

[tawdry dove]

Tomorrow is 95° Freedom

[rapid summit]

And I was late, the solstice was already 17 minutes ago 😛

[tawdry dove]

Getting some Thunderstorms Tuesday though and it's dropping the temperature down to 50° Freedom for the day

[rapid summit]

Mmh. We should have it above 20, mostly near 30 for the next couple of weeks.

[tawdry dove]

Yeah tomorrow is 35° in the wrong temperature measurement

[rapid summit]

That's inhuman

I'm talking about your country's preferred temperature scale

[tawdry dove]

I like it for certain measurements. Metric isn't granular enough when it comes to temperature

Just depends on the situation for which system I use

[rapid summit]

For that, we invented a system called "decimals"

But yeah, I see the point there.

[tawdry dove]

Nah I don't want to be using decimals when I'm trying to figure out the weather or how fast I'm going in a car

Cooking and baking I'll use metric though

[rapid summit]

Then use more granularity by using km/h for car speed 🙂

[tawdry dove]

The US is to big for KM

Though we do use acres to measure land area

I don't like how 100km/h is only 60mph

[rapid summit]

It is traditionally defined as the area of one chain by one furlong (66 by 660 feet), which is exactly equal to 10 square chains, 1⁄640 of a square mile, or 43,560 square feet, and approximately 4,047 m2, or about 40% of a hectare.

isn't that practical

[tawdry dove]

Oh wtf I thought acres were metric

[rapid summit]

Apparently "Are" is the 10m by 10m area, acre is that monstrosity

[tawdry dove]

I thought it was the base unit for area but I guess you would just say ares?

This is why metric is confusing and dumb and freedom units are better

[rapid summit]

And note how it makes USA look smaller, China is 5000 kilometers from west to east, whereas USA is only 3500 miles 🙂

[spark sun]

the only benefit to using Imperial measurements are learning to convert between bases pretty early on - there is a reason that all physical science research areas standardized to metric decades ago

[rapid summit]

The only benefit to using non-metric is beer. By getting a pint you get more 🍺

[spark sun]

How would you know that if you couldn't convert between pints and litres though 😄

[rapid summit]

It's not about "couldn't", it's about "wouldn't" 🙂

[tawdry dove]

Pints I use quarts and gallons when drinking beer

[rapid summit]

Oh, and I'm talking about UK pints, not the small US ones!

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i think ive only ordered a pint a couple of times

The bar near school had personal pitchers

And i usually go to craft places that have bigger glasses than pints if I'm out somewhere

[tawny egret]

I want to get one of those boot glasses for beer but we're planning on migrating so buying anything breakable now is out of the question

[uneven oak]

Beer boots are a excellent device if you get the rotation right, v messy otherwise haha

From a chugging perspective that is

[tawdry dove]

T-10 minutes until 24 hour chuck is done

Idk whether to grill it or to use the cast iron

I might Grill it and bring the cast iron out to the grill to make the bourbon sauce

I don't want to deglaze with bourbon indoors

Prepped and ready

[tawdry dove]

Sous vide chuck with a grill sear and a bourbon sauce made from the juices

[urban sonnet]

That looks phenomenal

[supple mauve]

Now you made me hungry... that looks amazing!

[tawdry dove]

Glad i did the flambe outside

And I probably shouldn't use a plastic spatulas while doing it

[quaint basin]

😢

[tawdry dove]

I heard one of the tenants open the door behind me as soon as I lit the pan and a huge ball of fire went up. Hung in there though and finished it off

[steel plover]

it's ok, the cow is going to good use in moose's belly

[tawdry dove]

This was also ethically sourced

[quaint basin]

Is it though?

[quaint basin]

Eh, nothing ethical about slaughtering something unnecessarily, regardless of the conditions you keep it in beforehand. Although this is not the place for that debate

[steel plover]

the way that moose workouts, he needs all the protein he can get

[quaint basin]

Plenty of places you can get protein 🤷‍♂️

[tawdry dove]

I only eat red meat once a week. It's not just about the protein. There are other nutrients

And I'd rather not take a pill to get them

[limpid hinge]

is there a book available on emotional manipulation????

[supple mauve]

I find it funny that somewhere in the world there's a cut of beef called "birria" 😅 it means something of little to no value in Spanish.

[burnt night]

I think that's the actual meaning? Usually very very cheap meat?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birria

[supple mauve]

It would make sense, yeah. I never heard of that before, I guess it's not really used in Europe.

[uneven oak]

I've been seeing alot of birria recipes popping up on my recommended, must be some sort of resurgence

[tawny egret]

I bought a stand mixer

Opportunities are endless now

Went to make hummus and I don't have any lemons. Real or fake juice

[scarlet moth]

bottled works fine

I wasn't aware you could make hummus in a stand mixer, you kind of need a food processor type thing

but if you like it chunky, you could make it by hand too

[tawdry dove]

Two completely unrelated things mixer won't be here until Wednesday

[scarlet moth]

oh ha

[tawdry dove]

I just went and bought lemons

[tawdry dove]

Hummus

[supple mauve]

That looks

[tawdry dove]

Buying the big bag of garlic was a mistake. They are all growing more garlic now

[still maple]

Next time put the bag of garlic in the freezer and take them as you need them 🙂

last forever

[tawdry dove]

Interesting

[north roost]

you can also preserve cloves in oil for at least a month or two

[tawdry dove]

Low key poggers for this hummus. I just looked at the image again for like 5 minutes and can't wait for tomorrow to eat some of. It

[twin ridge]

so you plant it and get unlimited garlic.

[tawdry dove]

Pork rib, salt, and pepper

[ornate lintel]

Yum

[spark sun]

Biggest mistake people make with a good cut is over seasoning

[tawdry dove]

Agreed

[ornate lintel]

I agree

[tawdry dove]

It was super soft. Almost too soft but it was good

[spark sun]

I recently bought a couple of tomahawk steaks to cook this weekend

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i bought a ribeye

[ornate lintel]

I want to try kobe or wagu but it is hard to get good qualty like grade a4

[spark sun]

it's also super expensive

real wagyu is something like $100/lb

[ornate lintel]

True but just once a week or 2 like a cheat day haha

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i want to try real wagyu and real wasabi

Gotta go to Japan though for the wasabi

[ornate lintel]

Real wasabi i don't think you can find that in europe or it is super expensive maybe more than wague

Haha

[tawdry dove]

Can't find it in the US either

I heard of one place that was trying to grow wasabi in Oregon or Washington and I think they have been unsuccessful so far

[ornate lintel]

I think its super hard to grow harder then mushrooms

[tawdry dove]

Yeah it only grows in a creek bed? If I remember correctly. And the humidity has to be just right

I think im gonna make a floof Omelette today

[tawny egret]

How many eggs do you usually go for

[tawdry dove]

I typically do 3 egg country style

Floof is 3 yolks 5 whites I think

[tawny egret]

I've only just gotten better at cracking eggs without breaking the yolk. Separating colors is beyond me for now

[tawdry dove]

Crack on a flat surface and don't throw the egg

Take your thumbs and press in on the crack and tilt allowing the white to drop and then pass the yolk in between the two shells

[tawny egret]

I should practice this. I want to make flan for christmas

[tawdry dove]

It's also alright if the yolk pops, as long as it's not in your whites

[tawdry dove]

Slightly overcooked floof Omelette

Dear lord. I just had a nightmare about a fictional college math course but the weird part is that it was a continuation of a nightmare from a couple of years ago

[flint ridge]

that's pretty uncool

I've just had sick young kids at home (2x 5>), and spent maybe 5 hours studying CISSP, THM & AZ-104

re: nightmare though, it's funny how the mind works - like recurring dreams and shit.

[tawny egret]

@tawdry dove I have nightmares about not actually graduating whenever I'm super stressed.

[tawdry dove]

That's what this one led into

I'm graduated and am a working adult now lol

[rapid summit]

I used to have nightmares about a missed communications course, and about partially uncompleted military service

[pallid citrus]

Hah sometimes I have dreams about being back in the military, and they're like oh no you still have service left to do

[tawdry dove]

For some, that nightmare is a reality. Like those unfortunate enough to get indefinitely extended or whatever it's called

[tawny egret]

I have to tell myself that everyday. 😆

[rapid summit]

That'd be pretty rare in a conscription army not involved in any conflicts 🙂

[tawdry dove]

Involuntary not indefinite oops

I think it its also called stop-loss prevention

[merry sky]

when doing rooms do you guys ever take notes?

if not, how much of the information do you actively retain?

ive been taking notes but sometimes i dont and can't really recall everything i learned

[sturdy saddle]

I read similar to how people skim textbooks right before thoroughly reading so it can kind of flag what was important in your brain first, I take notes on things I might have trouble remembering details of

[merry sky]

i take notes of what i think will be important for my line of work

the networking fundamentals room for example i just did them without notes but idk

[sturdy saddle]

habits like sleep, eating patterns etc affect memory quite a noticeable amount too

[merry sky]

yea my sleep is shit 😆

[sturdy saddle]

sleep is when your memory consolidates

[merry sky]

i cant concentrate for anything, going to get adhd testing next week actually

[serene trench]

Oh rad! We have 3 german sheperds and uh their names are pretty interesting hehe

[remote sail]

what are the others?

[serene trench]

It is hehe -- yeah it doesn't affect him thankfully (hearing and things)

He can hear okay and it's no pain according to the vet as it's like help up by the soft tissue stuff that's help up by your ear idk

[remote sail]

yeah, I would think it's no big deal. Plenty of other dogs with floppy ears

even if he was half deaf, his hearing would still be 100x better than ours

[serene trench]

Diesel, Moon & Barely (: all brothers and sister

Moon is the sister out of the two

[remote sail]

sounds like there's a story behind those names

[serene trench]

Not that I'm aware off at least 😄 we also have ellie who is a border collie

I'm not sure if there's any real meaning behind it other than they're cute names hehe

[remote sail]

it's kindof a rule that pet names have to be cute/goofy

[serene trench]

We used to have Robin back in Sweden and that was named after a teddy-bear dog that I've had since 2 years old

Where's Thor? 👀

[pallid citrus]

I've always been on the mindset of that dogs should have a purpose...for example get a dog for hunting....dogs as just pets has never been my thing....that's what cats are for

[scarlet moth]

Dog's are excellent walking and hiking companions and they can also alert you of a potential intruder

[serene trench]

But cats go off and do their own thing for a day or two at a time -- doesn't sound like a good companion to me 😄

I have a friend who has three cats and he can not see them for days...it's a strange idea to me

[pallid citrus]

Not sure one should let cats roam around unless living in countryside. Atleast here it's illegal to let pets just go around without supervision in urban areas

[supple mauve]

If a cat wants to go outside, it will go outside 😁

[scarlet moth]

I think the UK has different views about cats than in the US

my cat gets supervised outdoor time, but cats are often killed by cars (or worse.. poison) in the US

also cats can have a negative impact on the bird population as well although I'd be all for them taking down the rodent population but that is what snakes are for

[pallid citrus]

Also don't need cats to piss and crap in sandboxes at playgrounds...also don't want anyones pet in my yard nor generally wandering around...cars can hit them by accident, crazy people try to poison dogs....so it's better to keep all pets under supervision...meaning keep it leashed if there's not a space with fences

you don't need much to install Linux, depending what you do

if you are talking about bare metal

[spark sun]

I'd be much more concerned about chipset-specific firmware support, such as bluetooth and wifi. Kernel support has gotten much better in the last few years, but due diligence is important unless you don't mind spending (potentially) a few weeks troubleshooting

[scarlet moth]

I have an old HP that was a pain... Dell seemed to take Ubuntu pretty well for my father in law

[spark sun]

I had a dell xps laptop several years ago; the broadcom wifi chip in it was known to have less than good driver support. At the time, I was dual-booting, and windows and ubuntu 12.04 wanted different versions of firmware flashed to the chip. That was a hot mess of incompatibilities, 1/10 would not do again.

[proven cobalt]

i wonder when they'll add more colours to the merch store

[spark sun]

Just about ready to wrap and push through the stall

[uneven oak]

Ooooooo

Looking pretty

[scarlet moth]

this is lunch today https://thekoreanvegan.com/rabokki/

[spark sun]

That looks awesome. I may have to make a special trip to the korean market next week

[scarlet moth]

yeah I went on Friday and they had the korean tube rice cakes on sale

[spark sun]

nice. i'm lucky if the market in northern aurora has any of the veg to make banchan

[scarlet moth]

the DC metro has multiple Korean market chains, we have one within a 5 minute drive of us.. its basically a full supermarket

[tawdry dove]

How far south do they come Zojja?

If you know

The new tickets feature is awesome!

-warn @low bronze Stop posting controversial things to try to create attention. Stop being edgy. Final warning.

[pallid citrus]

Sure seems like a nice feature. But I'm not sure if I'm too lazy to reset room progresses and redo them to get tickets 😅

[scarlet moth]

the Korean markets? I dunno, they are all over Virginia though, H Mart, Lotte, Q Mart

and Rabokki was awesome for lunch

[tawdry dove]

There is an international market near me apparently

Can't give the name because it's a 1 of 1 though

hello, i had already completed many rooms from the pre security path and didn't got any tickets as i had completed them few days ago before the learn and win prize room arrived.... How can i get theses tickets any one knows ??

[ivory heron]

Hi, go to the Pre Security path room which you haven't claimed your tickets yet, then hit the gear icon on the top right near the (start attackbox), then click on reset progress and do the room again and you should be able to claim.

[undone fractal]

@meager mason hi

[meager mason]

That works! <3

[grim blade]

i am completing the room but Click to redeem is not showing me anything how to get it

[woven marsh]

Yeah the click to redeem isn't working for me either

[pallid citrus]

Should be fixed

[grim blade]

My humidity is 71% btw

[pallid citrus]

Yeh I've wished for cooler weather for couple of weeks now

[rapid summit]

Only 27 now with a bit of breeze, this is fine

[turbid peak]

How about 70% humidity with 39°C

[jade quail]

I'd be dead

[pallid citrus]

It should be 15-20C...that would be fine. Honestly this wouldn't be bad but the place I have to stay for a while gets too damn hot with weather like this

[rapid summit]

This makes it easier 🙂

[pallid citrus]

I do have a tub of ice cream in the freezer 🤔

Are those blueberries or blackberries?

[rapid summit]

Blueberry or bilberry jam

[pallid citrus]

Nice

[rapid summit]

The windy lakeland also makes it more tolerable

[merry sky]

are there a finite amount of sec+ tickets? like if enough people redeem sec+ vouchers then it wont be possible to get those tickets anymore? or something

from the new presecurity path tickets

oh there is, i see

[uneven oak]

A pleasant 14c here, good old blighty

[tawdry dove]

Laughs in 35°C with 75% humidity

[dull dove]

[rapid summit]

@dull dove having 35 or so up here in 60+ degrees north isn't that common.

[pallid citrus]

I have to come up with something to cook for today...I did a huge batch of food couple days ago, but that's gone...so it's time to cook something again

I wish I could use my smoker, but that's of the table until next month

Looks and sounds good

I'll save the recipe to make that some day...probs not today, but at a later time

[flint knoll]

I don't know how to cook

It took me a while to find where things are in my own kitchen

[flint knoll]

Thanks

[hoary nymph]

Gave +1 Rep to @pallid citrus

[flint knoll]

Also they are not noodles

they are my special pasta 😋

[celest cairn]

what's special about it

[flint knoll]

it has milk and a lot of indian spices that make it special

I'll send you the list of ingredients

[celest cairn]

spice spice baby

[flint knoll]

Ingredients:

1. Macaroni pasta

2. 3 garlic cloves(finely chopped)
3. 1 teaspoon of pepper powder
4. 1 teaspoon of chili powder (preferably Everest chili powder, you can find it in an Indian store anywhere, if you don't just use any chilli powder)
5. 2 teaspoons of sugar
6. 4-5 teaspoons of tomato ketchup or if you prefer it to be healthy add fresh tomato puree
7. 100ml of milk
8. Cheese/Mayonnaise or both (for the creamy texture(you can use any cheese you like))
9. 1 teaspoon of salt
10. 1 teaspoon of butter/clarified butter/desi ghee(again, you can find desi ghee in any Indian store, if you don't find it just use butter or clarified butter)
11. Finely chopped onions(I forgot to add onions in my recipe)
    optional items:
    Corn, bell pepper, meat, mushrooms or anything you want(this is a completely vegetarian recipe)

@celest cairn

Let me send the procedure also

Procedure:

1. Boil the Macaroni and add salt as required according to the quantity of water, to make the pasta not taste pale and wheatish, say 2 teaspoons of salt, because we need them big and not small, adjust the quantity according to for whom you are making
2. Add butter/clarified butter/desi ghee to the boiling macaroni to avoid them getting stuck together
3. Drain the water after the macaroni is 90% soft you can take a spoon and check how soft it is, and run the boiled macaroni under cold water to avoid them sticking together after they are cooked.
4. Take a pan and heat it, when it is hot enough add 2 spoons of Butter/Clarified butter/Desi Ghee
5. Add the finely chopped garlic cloves and cook them until they are golden brown
6. Now add the finely chopped onions and cook them until they are golden brown
7. Once they turn golden brown add the tomato ketchup or tomato puree depends on what you are using and add 1 teaspoon of salt
8. once it is cooked(for puree you will know it is cooked when the butter is on top of the puree, you can see the patches of melted butter when you see it)(and if you are using ketchup, you don't have to wait for it to cook)
9. Now add your chili powder, pepper powder and sugar according to your taste
10. Now add the boiled macaroni to the pan
11. Add cheese/mayonnaise or both to the pan and add the milk, and keep stirring for 2-3 minutes or until it is creamy, or not too creamy, it will be a little loose in the first, but after cooling it down it will become creamy.

Then add this to a bowl/plate/whatever and enjoy

@celest cairn

sorry for pinging you twice, just notifying you 😅

[lapis dagger]

needs more masala

[twin ridge]

never add oil to pasta (water)!

[flint knoll]

Adjust it to your taste

[twin ridge]

it'll only stick if you overcook it

[flint knoll]

I am not saying to add oil, add butter, so it doesn't stick

[twin ridge]

butter is oil is fats

[flint knoll]

thats why cook it to 90%

[flint knoll]

I like fats

[twin ridge]

yes, but the italian in me wants to hurt you

[flint knoll]

I am open to getting hurt

[twin ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/kendo-shinai-bonk-doge-horny-gif-20995284

[flint knoll]

Also this is the Indian version of the Pasta!!

[twin ridge]

no fats in pasta water.

[cedar robin]

yoink badoink :>

[rapid summit]

Fats only after pasta is cooked.

[twin ridge]

after you drain it then sparingly

[rapid summit]

Or e.g. in parmigiano

[twin ridge]

if you want to avoid the pasta sticking, then immerse in ice water to stop the cooking process

[flint knoll]

read the procedure

and yeah, this is not my recipe, it's my mothers

[twin ridge]

leaving drained pasta while hot will continue to cook it

[flint knoll]

I don't want to cook it, I said, run it under cold water

[twin ridge]

yes, but no butter/oil/fats

[rapid summit]

I only trust Italian mothers for pasta recipes.

[flint knoll]

And my mother is Indian

[twin ridge]

Italian Grandmothers

[rapid summit]

Even better.

[flint knoll]

Russian Grandmothers {Babushkas}

[twin ridge]

sure but not for pasta

[flint knoll]

For blin and jam

anywho, if you don't like the recipe just try it, and if you don't like it, DM me with some more, I am ready to get hurt

[twin ridge]

[flint knoll]

just try

[twin ridge]

Oil in pasta water is sacrilege

that is all

[flint knoll]

okay, also desi cow ghee is not oil

[pallid citrus]

I always use Mutti when doing italian tomato sauces

I guess I could try making one from the scratch some time, but cba

[lapis dagger]

Italian pasta has a lot of spices?

[pallid citrus]

This reminded me I should do this one dish with chicken and a great tomatosauce with herbs and some parmigiano-reggiano

[supple mauve]

Agreed. It'll make it harder for the sauce to stick to the pasta.

[rapid summit]

Usually not that much. chili in some sauces, arrabbiatta is the only one I can think of right away that would be spicy.

[tawny egret]

Colonialism was only invented because certain groups of people only had bland food,

[pallid citrus]

By that logic nordic countries should rule the planet

[twin ridge]

usually a lot of herbs, basil is popular, and garlic

whatever grows well in a Mediterranean climate

[lapis dagger]

l where is the spice...i mean what makes it spicy 😛

[twin ridge]

not usually spicy hot

sometimes chilis though

[rapid summit]

Today’s exercise

I've got a good river for kayaking not far, but no proper kayak

[winter pendant]

[rapid summit]

This is from Savonlinna, Finland, not my city though 🙂

[rapid summit]

Storing and transporting them is the biggest issue… therefore I don’t have a kayak

[twin ridge]

the rentals in this country are terrible

I can't even get a proper canoe 😦

[rapid summit]

Well i got a fishing kayak the other day… today’s one was fine
