re: Any tips to level up red beans?
Posted by sleepytime on 4/16/26 at 6:14 am to Seven Costanza
Use a pressure cooker to make a stock with ham hocks, neck bones, maybe a few trotters and your other seasonings. Then drop your beans in, preferably pre-soaked, cook as usual and adjust your salt/ other seasonings at the end.
When I'm in a hurry, I use ham base instead of salt and it makes a mean pot of beans.

This is the correct answer. You have to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Some things can get you in hot water with the government too.
re: Any mechanics or car experts here? O2 sensor heater circuit

Fords are picky too. People put all kinds of cheap chinesium crap parts in their cars and counterfeit parts are everywhere now too, especially NGK spark plugs.

In this order:
Inspect for damage
Reference the O2 sensor and make sure it's the correct one. People box swap them and return them to parts stores.
If you wired in a universal sensor, triple check the wiring.
Verify voltage on the heater circuit
Test pre/post cat temps with an IR temp gun
If your scanner has the capabilities, read your LT and ST fuel trims and live data from the o2 sensors.
Test vacuum readings
Test back pressure

This is a loaf of BS. The $6 annual fee is just to keep the revenue stream for the state. There's a big identity code attached to everyone's car called a license plate that already has all the info he's talking about.

Appeared to be unconscious (in a role play type scenario), or was actually unconscious? I always assumed consent couldn't legally be given by an unconscious person.
That's partly where the case hinges. Was she really unconscious? There's supposedly evidence that says she was into weird CNC type stuff. There's also laws that say if Melanie was drugged, that's a defense for intent. That's plausible because it was part of Denny's MO but who can prove anything conclusive 10 years later.

Ard failed to "write it down" and generate an official record if I recall properly.
Another agency did tell Ard things weren't Kosher. As far as not writing it down, that was people that wanted to make allegations against Denny but wouldn't put anything in writing.

Yes. I’ve worked with him before and I pay the lumber yard and the subs directly.
He's either doing you a favor or getting a kickback "referral fee" from the subs. While that may not be illegal, it can be considered fraud because it's skirting permitting/reporting requirements. As the contractor, he's taking on liability for the work at that job, even if you are paying the subs and even if you pull the permit yourself.

There appears to be reasonable doubt as to the extent of her involvement and guilt. We should require first degree rape to be conclusively proven. If the DA makes the case so be it. I don’t remember all the evidence from last time but I remember her defense having a decent case
Jason Ard should have resigned for this or been taken out at the booth. I can’t believe he’s still sheriff
They downgraded the charge to simple rape for this trial. Lots of nuance to this case and it's not cut and dry, that may work in the defense favor. I don't think Ard knew, he went to bat for an old friend/classmate and likely knew Denny was a bit of a perv but not that he was that depraved.

Interested in seeing if there is some new exculpatory evidence or if this is just a quick conviction. This was the most perverse non murder crime in this area in decades. Hard to believe these people even existed. Shame that guy is still alive.
Melanie wasn't involved with any kids. When the police went through Denny's hard drives, there was a video of a 3 some with him, Melanie and someone else that appeared to be unconscious. Melanie said she was drugged and didn't recall. The unconscious person said she would never do anything like that and there was other evidence and possibly testimony showing that she was into kinky stuff exactly like that. That testimony/evidence wasn't allowed to be introduced into evidence.
It gets a little more complicated and you can kind of piece some things together from the court docs.
From what's been told to me by several people that knew all parties is that they were all into kinky stuff, had been for years and the alleged victim's assertion that she would never engage in a threesome or weird kinky stuff is hogwash.

He's probably baking his fees into the price. Are you buying the materials and paying the subs?

If those metal cans are left outside and not sealed tight, they will get condensate in them. You may want to dump it out and see if it's cloudy or contaminated. It's not anyone's fault, just something to be aware of.

This is going to be interesting case, anyone have the over/under on another conviction? Her prior conviction was tossed because potential exculpatory evidence was excluded. I won't rehash everything but it's a very nuanced case given all the parties proclivities.
