re: Induction stovetops

Posted by cssamerican on 9/22/26 at 4:49 am to
Different pans heat up differently at the same stove setting. My stovetop maxes out at 12, level 6 is a simmer for my stainless cookware, but I never go above 6 on my carbon steel skillet because it gets so much hotter at that same setting.

re: Improving HDL’s

Posted by cssamerican on 9/21/26 at 7:31 pm to
My HDL has never topped 30, and by 50 I'd made peace with it being my normal. I'm convinced diet won't move the needle for me, and neither will any reasonable amount of exercise. I've tested that theory extensively, lifting three days a week, biking 25 miles a day, running 3 miles a day, plus a job that keeps me on my feet for eight hours straight, and I still couldn't crack 30.

The problem is you go out of your way to buy avocado or olive oil only to read stories that manufactures and retailers are lying to you and are cutting the products with seed oils.
I love rum, but Captain Morgan is a terrible rum, but I guess if you are going to cover it up with Coke it will get the job done.
I’m sure we have some type of anti missile defense but one miss and it’s catastrophic, plus what if they don’t fire a middle and just bring it on a container ship?
Maybe Europe’s plan is to invade Russia while they are weakened :dunno:

Makes sense if they knew they could prevent a nuclear launch.
The question should be why would anyone in a western society elect someone who’s core beliefs are to destroy western society? I’m upset only 45% say they wouldn’t elect a Muslim to represent them.
That’s a hard call after watching Joe Biden as president.W will ultimately be remembered for the Patriot Act and the governmental spying that it brought, long term, I don’t believe he will be remembered well, but he won’t be remembered as the worst.
James Madison aka "Father of the Constitution"…Perhaps he could clarify some constitutional meanings to our judicial system. Just think about how he would react if he found out that not having air conditioning on death row is considered cruel and unusual punishment.

This should be first degree, the murder was planned and cold blooded.

There was no gun, so I doubt the animals intent was murder. Still, they set out to physically beat a 77-year-old, and anyone with half a brain knows that can easily kill someone that age. Therefore, no excuses, no sympathies, When we know beyond any doubt who did it, the death penalty needs to be used a lot more often, and it needs to be carried out fast. Enough is enough.
I’ve watched his podcast a few times, and his teaching is sound. Even where I disagree, like his position on once saved, always saved, he grounds his view in scripture, so I don’t have an issue with it. People can read the same passage and come away with slightly different interpretations. I haven’t heard him teach anything heretical, and I appreciate his take on Christians in politics.

I’ve never seen him preach, but I’d expect it to be similar. As for his knowledge, it’s fine if a guy isn’t especially sharp off the cuff. He clearly prepares for his podcast. Some people are extremely knowledgeable but aren’t good at showing it without preparation.

That said, I don’t know the man personally, so I can’t speak to whether his personal life matches his teaching.

The government-set thresholds are 85 cm (33.5 inches) for men

That seems really thin as US pants sizes don’t match inches, this would be like saying if your pants waist size is over 30 you need intervention, what would that be 95% of men over 40 in the United States?
It’s sarcasm, but I would not be surprised if he feels the only example is Fox News.

re: BGE vs Pellet

Posted by cssamerican on 9/13/26 at 5:59 am to
I’ve got a PK360. It’s not as good of a smoker as a BGE and not as convenient as a gas grill, but it’s versatile enough that I can grill or smoke dinner for my family without much hassle.

That’s why, if I were in your shoes, I don’t think a pellet grill would fill a major gap for me. With the BGE and gas grill, you’ve already got those bases covered.

If you just want a new toy, I’d look at something that gives you a completely different cooking option. An outdoor fryer or griddle would be more interesting options to me.

Some are. It is a big tent.

I am generally OK with open borders, if non-citizens are guaranteed no taxpayer dollars

Libertarians are often naive about human nature. Show Americans a starving Mexican child living in Los Angeles, and many will quickly abandon your law and call for government intervention to help.

The deeper problem with most political philosophies is that they fail to account for actual human nature. Communism never works for the same reason. Even when you sincerely believe society should operate a certain way, you sometimes have to compromise those philosophical ideals because you know people will abuse them.

Take religious freedom in a historically Christian society it makes perfect sense in theory. But once you have open borders and large-scale Muslim immigration, the picture changes. If Islamic beliefs ever become the majority, those same people who benefited from religious freedom are likely to persecute the Infidels that provided their past freedoms. Christian societies should prevent a scenario like this now for practical reasons while they have the numbers but they won’t because people are naive and focused on principles rather than survival.

Touché…I might of had too many Rum Sours this morning :)
Because the vast majority of people who consume it, do it occasionally and don’t get into a stupor. Many enjoy the taste, many drink a bit and feel nothing, not even a buzz. We have been consuming it since the beginning of recorded history. It would be like outlawing deserts because a few people can’t control their behavior and over eat to the point of obesity, and it causes family trauma due to disease and early death.
It makes sense now the simp male juror was disgusted when he seen him choke out a water bottle liberals are racist :lol:
