you mostly grill hamburgers and steaks, a pellet grill is not your best option and you are going to be underwhelmed. While you can grill on them, it’s more of a side feature that you can make work vs its actual function. (Although the Recteq FirePro series has bridged the gap some)


My Reqtec bullseye pro gets to 1000 degrees. That’s HOT!

So not all pellet grills can only do low & slow, but it’s certainly very good at that.

The kettle is stainless steel, and seems to be well made.

I have an BGE XL and a Weber propane. Since I got the bullseye this summer, I haven’t used the others once. Zero learning curve and ease of use is a 10.

Did I suck off Reqtec correctly?

You MUST go eat at Neptune.

Get there 30 minutes before they open, because most nights the line is 1-2 hours long.

It’s one of my all time favorite restaurants.

We went 2 days in a row !
Where do Kroger’s exist I haven’t seen one in years.

Live somewhere better.
You’re straight up admitting that you’re a sucker for believing propaganda.

I don’t drink me no soda water (unless beer counts).

I like Taj Mahal the best, but haven’t been to the spots on Magazine (saffron, Namaste). Also options in the WB.

I’ll try to do my part.
I don’t participate in the trashiness of “decorating my yard’… for any holiday.

Maybe a wreath on the door and the Xmas tree near a window.
Look… I’m staring down 60 pretty soon, and I think age for benefits should go up (gradually), and should also be means tested. If you’re over $10MM net worth, then you shouldn’t get them… the price for living in a country that provided the environment to make it happen. I understand you paid I. For 40 years, but oh well… you’re independently wealthy.

I say all this as a hardcore conservative and MAGA Guy. I’m sorry if it’s contradictory, but that’s where I am.

Thoughts on Ember. We’ve been once. I thought it was pretty good but what we ordered was hot AF.

It’s empty every time I drive by lately.

I’ll give it to you… that’s a pretty shitty stretch.

Your story and countless others are why I never bought a motorcycle despite some interest.

I’ve had some rough patches. I might elaborate later.

Prove it. I’ve watched a lot of videos of his speeches and debates. Yes he disagreed with DEI, but I have not seen anything beyond that.

Prove me wrong. Please.
This thread turned into food-related dislikes.

People who back into parking spots


That’s the only way I can make the turn to get into a parking spot, often.

You’ve never driven a long wheelbase 4WD.
Disney vacations.

Cruises (but I think most people think they suck).
The drain is further away from my nose… I always choose the short one if available, so I don’t have to smell somebody’s nasty piss.
I had a couple of friends dress up as Nazi’s for a Halloween party while at LSU… early ‘90’s.

We thought it was funny. The uniforms were readily available at costume shops. People have gotten REALLY thin-skinned.
