I grill 2-3x a week and smoke with my electric smoker 1-2x a week.
I used one of those chimneys for charcoal for a few years but now I’m back to lighter fluid.
I use a Weber and (I’ll look at the brand if you want but any of the 199$ ones are mostly fine) electric smoker.
Buy a fish basket or veggie basket or two.
My best recipe:
Cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, red onion, pablona peppers, sweet baby peppers, kielbasa tossed in olive oil and Sazon Completa seasoning.
Grill it in a basket for 4 minutes a side on the charcoal side.
Eat.
No one has not lived it - ever.
Leftover for breakfast with scrambled eggs.
Most impressive:
Whole snapper. Have the market clean a small to medium snapper, run her down with olive oil and your imagination of spices and herbs (garlic salt , black pepper , cilantro to start) and grill for 3-5 minutes a side on the charcoal side.
Ribeye:
Worshershire, garlic salt, black pepper
Grill on the charcoal side until as ‘ burnt ‘ as you like and grill it to a tad over medium so the fat renders.
Get a meat thermometer.

I’ve played it for a few hours until Expedition 33 took over my time.
I’m unsure if I’ll finish it but I decided to play an archer which I’ve never done but it’s FUN.
If it’s just nostalgia talking I’ll only put a few more hours into it so tbd.

Did the fan base feel Dotson was a pointless addition?
I felt they needed to get a quality WR3 even without the stats.

Playing the new French turn based RPG Expedition 33 - 5 hours in and it is fantastic. A breath of fresh air while also melancholic from the JRPG perspective.
Last game I played like this was Yakuza (three games ago I believe - so 3-4 years since they cranked out a sequel and pirate sequel that I just don’t have time for) which I finished and feel fondly of.
I must be a sucker for turn based JRPGs.

I thought of going because I agree with you that due to the various form of Christianity, humans were led to current Western Society, which is empirically superior to other forms of hmmm humans. As well as because my country of birth (Poland) and entire social upbringing religion meant Christianity.
As the pundits all say, I have a feeling if I were born in Pakistan then maybe I’d go visit their local place of worship for a need of community.
My fear with the fast downturn of Christian faith in Western society is that nothing will hold us fast in the face of upheaval - from Islam to Communism to AI to what have you. There’s no commonality.
Great post - thank you for writing it.

Could you talk more about your actual faith? - as opposed to the woes of the world that have led you back to it?
The church is freaking cool. That’s just a given. Crusades, dope gear, eternal heaven, long ass running institutions, an enemy (or thousands) … I’m not being facetious, all cool things.
But how do you believe? Why do you choose to believe this rather than any Indian thing, and Japanese thing, any anything? Is it just that this is the Western version of something you want?
Your answer doesn’t just have to be about you per se - just maybe your ideas surrounding the entire thing.
Aside from Sam Harris and a few others, I always fairly hated atheists. I probably am one, maybe. Maybe agnostic. Like my music genres, I don’t care - it’s all metal.
However - no religion is correct. And we [[[all]]] (((know))) that. It’s just a tale built upon other tales seemingly and there’s a thousand of them.
I guess I want to know what a man of intelligence has to say about it.
I thought about going to church a few times in the past decade but the dreaded ‘ this isn’t true ‘ always reared its head.

Is this not the position of most of the left? Tax corporations more?

It’s fun to see opinions in real time.
Be boring if we all held our breaths until everything is over.

What’s being exposed is our useless government. This may be worth it if it wakes up everyone to what their jobs are supposed to - I have my doubts.
Peace is still there … and unlike the other poster, I agree it’s been peaceful and prosperous for the western world and some adjacencies.
Like all good things, hubris was too high and it’s time to correct course - which this isn’t, nor will we do it after it’s over. Wow will continue.

First 42 pages of Gates of Fire - fictionalized account of the Spartans holding the gate at Thermopylae - was banging. Ripped right through them last night … not really sure why I thought there would be weird prose.
Nothing ground breaking but I could read stories about soldiers being soldiers forever.
Basically an injured Spartan tells the tale of the Spartans to Xerxes after the battle.
Big fan so far.

Would highly recommend

I know this is whataboutism - and I’m not making this argument, just kind of stating how I feel - but, and this does suck, we killed a million Iraqi’s and Afghans and fucked our good will for decades … why do I care about this dude?
It’s an oopsie - it’s not a US citizen - it sucks but, man it just gets a big who gives a fuck from me.
Get him back eventually and give him a million bucks - I’m not saying it’s a non story but I bet minus the destination, we’ve made a few thousand similar mistakes over the last twenty years.
Or maybe it’s the opposite of TDS for me - maybe I just downplay every story because every story for 10 years has been amplified to 10.
Hard to tell.

Finishing up Killing Commendatore by Murakami and starting probably either Gates of Fire or Ship of Magic this week.
Gates of Fire seems like something I’ll get 30 pages into and never pick up again but it seems to have great reviews - just worried about the prose.

I was thinking we would just have a nice rapport and we’d talk about work and the American Dream and he’d think about all the murderous hijinks he had committed in the past and he’d do this to make himself feel better.
Like the Catholic Church used to do … pay for absolution ?

How do I get someone to loan me say 500k for a house and I can just pay him 40k up front and make monthly payments to him rather than the bank?
There’s really no incentive for this on his end, just like a good will gesture to me and my family.
I feel if I can meet a billionaire I can talk him into this.
(Is this too dumb of a question for Sunday dumb question thread?)

There’s clearly something off about me that prohibits me from finding a new career in some way … and possibly with the way I apply of course.
I’m just at a loss and stuck in retail for now.
It’s not literal Hell - I can probably be a store manager if a Dillards in 5 years and that’s six figures … but I just feel the need for more.

I graduated with a Masters in 2020.
I’m now 41 and still work retail.
I have 22 years of retail management experience.
The amount of no’s I’ve received is in the thousands.
I don’t even believe entry level positions exist - I’ve never seen one. No idea why I got a Masters.
My idea was that ‘ hey my experience and this degree will mean I’ll be making 6 figures in a few years. LOL

My first response to Russia escalating into a full fledged invasion in 2022 is that the US shouldn’t nuked Moscow - an option that is now too late.
It would have saved some X amount of important lives (Ukrainians) and shown the other powers like China that the US stands up for its own - which it considers most of the free world.
I don’t actually believe Russia has an overly functional nuclear arsenal, and I don’t think China responds to Russias defense outside of Strong Words of Something.
Now? Yea it’s probably an agreement where no one is happy - not that I care about the happiness factor of Russia.
I use a tablespoon with my decaf green tea, mint, 1/2 lemon every night just about
