The reason to cuss the GP is for overcooking great meat. Low and slow is for cheap cuts. For Prime rib, just shine a flashlight on both sides...it's cooked.
I'll pull it off the heat at about 125F and let it rest about 25-30 min before carving..it should be right about at medium rare at that point.
I was actually thinking of trying to do a makeshift of the "reverse sear" method I used on steaks > 1".
In that when I pull it maybe at 122F...let it rest, I'll fire up the BGE on high...and throw the roast back on for just a couple minutes to get a good crust on it, yet keep it medium rare....
You understand that there are millions of citizens that go hungry in this country while you're eating your $12 per pound roast, right? You probably litterally could feed dozens of people with what you spend for that one meal.
Ok...so,what exactly are you saying?
Are you saying because some in the world aren't as fortunate as me, that I should forever deny myself a few worldly pleasures, such as cooking and eating a nice meal with my family?
The world is a large and tough place. Not everyone is equally blessed or gifted. But that's no reason not to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
I'm not a wealthy man, but I do ok....I'm generally of the quality of quantity school of thought.
I RARELY if ever eat junk food out. I prefer to shop and cook for myself, trying to keep it as healthy as possible. I'd rather do that, and save my $$ to splurge occasionally for a nice meal out at a restaurant with a fine wait staff and good wine...OR, like on Tday and special occasions where I go out, and buy something really nice to enjoy.
I suppose YOU are going to dine on nothing more than Dinty Moore or Spaghettio's until the world has succumbed to social justice and everyone eats on the same level, right?
The ONLY ways I've found turkey to be remotely flavorful are: Injecting it and deep frying it, or smoking it....which IMHO the latter method is the best method.
But either of those ways keeps it juicer....and if you smoke it, the leftovers can be used for smoked turkey and sausage gumbo, you also boil the carcass for stock for the gumbo...YUM!
I'd rather eat chicken. Turkey is the _worst_ of the domesticated birds.
I've just never liked roasted/baked turkey.
Maybe its because I don't generally drink and eat at the same time, I don't wash my food down....so, ANY roast turkey I've ever had, tastes mostly like dried cardboard to me.
I started my own tradition decades ago, each year I do a standing Rib Roast.
I found a wonderful Prime Grade bone-on rib roast at Costco this year, $11.99/lb.
I"m gonna slow rotisserie it on the Big Green Egg, low temps, maybe with a couple of hickory chunks in there for a tiny bit of smoke flavor.
My motto has long been "The only Turkey at my house on Thanksgiving, is 101 Proof!!""
Come to think of it....I don't get tired of my leftovers either.
If you look it up, I think you'll actually find that most non-suicide gun deaths are handgun deaths, and these are largely gang related which is generally non-caucasian on non-caucasian crime.
...and if you make any distinction surrounding race at all, you sir or madam are a racist. I think it is high time we start classifying people as human and move the fuck on. Race is a poor data point; it assumes much and provides little knowledge. It is intrinsically unfair. Just stop using it. Strike it from all forms, all databases, and all modalities of information sharing and hopefully within a generation or two, it will only exist in history books.
I guess they should stop making hair and skin products targeted towards blacks, since that is racial....right?
Get with it, there *ARE* some differences in all the races. Some have genetic predispositions for illnesses, and some for physical advantages over others.
There are deep intrinsic cultural differences that are largely apparent within different racial communities.
Saying everyone is the same...is voluntarily blinding yourself to how the real world exists.
But to your analogy, it isn't putting it up on a big public bulletin board and shoo'ing away.
It is more like only putting it on bulletin boards in stores that serve potential customers/renters of the demographic you believe to be more suitable for your property (salary, dependability, potential social problems, etc).
In this case of FB...I believe they charge by ad, and how many folks it goes out to...right?
If that's the case, then the customer is wanting to only spend as little advertising $$ and possible, and therefore spend the limited advertising targeted towards those that he feels would be his best potential market.
I"m guessing that while it is illegal to discriminate with regard to housing to [insert minority here], it is likely NOT illegal to tune your advertising disbursement however you wish.
I mean, if you were to put up physical fliers on telephone poles ONLY in predominately white areas of town, you are not required to put as many (or ANY) of same fliers in areas that are more black/hispanic/minority...right?
It is against the law to discriminate against who you let sign on the dotted line, but you are not compelled to advertise that there is a dotted line available in an equal manner.
The hacker community has always been full of people with a certain kind of personality. That kind of personality can laugh at Hitler. But hackers are a dying breed. Software development is no longer driven by that "hacker" personality, and the software development community now has to be much more sensitive and respectful of a more diverse population. Which means no more Hitler jokes, or casual swearing, or crude innuendos, or Monty Python references, or etc etc. Oh well, it was fun (for the hackers) while it lasted.
It ain't just the hackers...it seems like it is almost everyone these days.
She wasn't in the country illegally for fun or something, you know that, right? Presumably the conditions in her country were bad enough to drive her to enter illegally, and the process for entry is sufficiently onerous or difficult that she had no other choice.
But, that's not really our problem in the US, you know?
We still have laws, and she shouldn't have been here...period.
If you break the laws, you get hurt...if there's a problem in MX, then those people should work to fix their own problems, rather than sneak over there illegally and work illegally.
He was willfully ignoring the real value of her labor, and therefore taking advantage of her. You make it sound like charity, which cannot be so long as he is gaining an advantage from it.
Well, she was here illegally....if she'd not been here against the law, she would not have been taken advantage of....
What's more, most of this regulation benefits the already-very-wealthy in the form of real estate appreciation -- and that drives inequality. So not only do housing costs rise faster than people can pay for them, but the benefits go to those that least need them, exacerbating wealth inequality.
Until just recently, the housing market hit rock fucking bottom in pricing....and mortgage rates at the lowest ever, even now they are still quite low.
If more young people, didn't have kids too soon before they can afford them, if they didn't always go out and buy the latest shiny $$$ smart phone, didn't eat out all the time, etc, etc.....and saved and lived even slightly below their means, they could save up for a downpayment on a home, much like generations before them.
But last few generations, charge things and spend WAY more than they should, and then wonder why they don't have money for nice things in life like a home....or retirement.
If you don't make Pro Athlete or rock star money, then you should know you can't live even close to that lifestyle and spend money like that.
A person who delivers food as a "contractor", could do so many unskilled/low-skilled jobs: barista, pick fruits and vegetables, hang drywall, security guard, walmart employee,...
Hell, be a bartender!!
I did that during grad school, and made a LOT of money, and this was at a more typical restaurant bar, not a true BAR type bar.
Even back then, you got much more per hour than the normal server (I got about $6/hr)....and by the time I got tips from the bar, and tipped out from the waitstaff....well, I actually could go out and buy a few drinks for them after we all got off work and went out for a bit.
There's plenty of unskilled jobs out there....but, you have to be willing to compromise on some things, like make yourself presentable looking (if public facing), and do some weird stuff, like showing up when scheduled, etc.
But if he's an adult working full time at the most sophisticated job that he's able to do, he should make enough for food, shelter, and health care.
You seem to think this is a right that everyone is inherently born with...?
When did this come about?
The declaration of the US said it wants to give everyone the "pursuit of happiness", but it doesn't guarantee it, it requires the individual to figure things out and do what they have to do to attain it.
No one owes you a damned thing once you hit the oxygen.
And if you are such a dense simpleton that you cannot take care of yourself, well....there is always welfare.
Yeah, the asshole libertarians think that a two dollar an hour wage is fine, because of course if people don't like it they can just go get a different job.
Not so much that, but more that NOT EVERY JOB out there is meant to be made a career of, nor sole source of income to support yourself/family.
This should be common sense, no?
Each job should pay what it is worth. Do you think a burger flipper should make the same as a highly skilled computer programmer?
Should I have to pay $15/hr to get one of the neighborhood kids to pull weeds in my garden one weekend?
Is it worth $30K/yr for someone to put flyers on cars in a parking lot for an hour or two a day?
Seriously, not all jobs are meant or worth paying a wage to live off of....some ARE only for extra money on the side, or starting jobs for teens.
This has been the norm for decades, and only recently for some reason, has everyone started thinking that ANYTHING you could possibly do for money should pay enough to be your sole source of income.
Not all jobs are worth that....
If the individual doesn't like the jobs they are being offered, then THEY need to figure out what to do or what jobs to seek that do give enough compensation to live off of solely.....
So, are e-unions the future? I hope so. The plutocrats have gotten the upper hand for too long, creating growing inequality. It's time us 95% get some bargaining power back (if GOP doesn't outlaw or de-fang unions & e-unions).
God I hope NOT!!
I"ve been contracting for nearly 20 years now, and I am quite happy with it.
I learned to incorporate myself (S-Corp), and figured out what I need to bill in order to make a living at what I do, taking into consideration my health insurance, retirement, vacation/sick time...etc.
Before you jump into contracting, you need to know what your needs are, and adjust or accept the bill rate that is given accordingly.
If it is too low...you walk away from that job and seek others.
If you are only wanting to make some side money, then, well, perhaps you can take a bit less, but get a "real" job that is W2 and more toward what you want.
The thing is, with most of these 'gig' jobs like Instacart and Uber and Lyft, these should be obviously perceived as jobs that are purely for EXTRA money on the side, and not a career choice.
Has the educational system in the US gotten so bad that people can't figure this out when deciding what they want to do for work....?
Again, where's the gun to their head to do this contract job?
Ok..it does sound like the app is a bit unfair, treating 6x cases of water the same as 1x case, but still...the person 'can' refuse a trip, or even to work for the company at all.
It takes a bit of smarts to figure out if the bill rate for a contracting gig is worth the effort, you know?
And of course they make no mention of option 3, which avoids both problems and actually protects user privacy: banning the collection of large amounts of data about large numbers of users in the first place.
At the very least....there should be regulation against companies like Facebook acquiring information on people that ARE NOT registered members of their site/product.
If you haven't signed up, then they should not collect information about you.
I've read about the "shadow" accounts FB tries to put together on folks that are not on FB...that should be banned and that information immediately and permanently purged from their systems.

I'm guessing you'd find the same spread of stores vs neighborhood wealth with Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar dealerships...

I don't really believe there are that many (if any at all meaningful) external forces that impose segregation in housing communities.
It seems more tribe mentality, that people like and prefer to live with people that look and act and believe similarly to themselves.
How do you figure?
