Yeah I totally get that then! Cheap or store bought BBQ leans very heavily on the sauce, and its usually a sweet sticky sauce. A lot of what is traditionally considered BBQ in the Midwest is just meat slow cooked in sweet sauce (I say this as a born and raised midwesterner!)

“Real” BBQ tends to emphasize the meat flavor more, with the wood smoke and rub/seasoning (often contains sugar, but is applied before cooking) coming second, and the sauce being very style-dependent and usually as a finishing touch.

Steak is one of those things that can go from meh to heavenly depending on the cut and how you cook it.

Cheap sirloin grilled without seasoning… eh…

For my birthday this year I splurged on some thick, prime ribeye cap steaks, took the time to season them and let them dry in the fridge for about 24h, and then cooked them to a nice rare in a cast iron pan with a silly amount of butter, some garlic, and a few sprigs of rosemary, and it was easily one of the best things I’ve eaten all year.

Wait, I need to hear more about this theory! Are you referring to barbeque styles that are heavily sauced and sticky?

Because I can kind of see how a sweet, sticky, glazed pork rib could be considered a dessert, but I can’t for the life of me imagine how you get dessert fron Texas style barbecue, for example.

I have not. But if they are on Lemmy, share their username and I’ll get some popcorn lol

Context maybe, and a bit of critical thinking?

Look at the subject of the thread, and look at what they said. It’s clearly not something a MAGA on Lemmy would post in response to a news article critical of Trump, but a parody of what a MAGA would have said that led to the situation being described by the article.

But shit, for whatever reason people on Lemmy see a few downvotes, immediately take that as evidence that it’s a serious comment, and don’t give it a second thought. It’s all over the place here.

I think you’re partially right, but only about everything having a separate app.

The reality is connected devices will be so ubiquitous and commonplace that the interface will become standarfized and totally tansparent. Connecting to any arbitrary device will be as simple as connecting to an arbitray web server through a browser.

Every device needing its own app is temporary and unsustainable.

I downvoted you because your blatant sarcasm wasn’t punctuated with a “/s”, so there was a 0.007% chance you were being sincere.

Naw, fuck any cutesy nicknames that let MAGA minimize his crimes.

Let’s stick with “Donald J Trump, child rapist”

“Ding fries are done” is solid ancient internet, but these days I feel a little icky for laughing at it. Its not outright making fun of developmentally-disabled people, but it’s adjacent enough to be a bit… like “it was a different time” kind of humor.

Man, my wife and I were super into the first season of Stranger Things. The nostalgia factor and old school horror movie feel really came together. But after watching Season 2 it was clear they were just going to keep amping up the action scenes at the expense of the plot and atmosphere. So disappointing.

I caught a glimpse of a recent episode somewhere and it was just dozens monsters running around getting shot at by an army of guns and Eleven doing some overpowered Jean Grey shit. Yawn…

Aside from all the other ways this proposal is stupid, a 30-year mortgage at least makes some sense compared to the timescale of a typical working person–at least historically. You get your career going in your early-mid 20s. By 30ish you are stable enough in your life and career to make the investment into a house. You make those payments dutifully for 30 years, and then by typical retirement age you own your home free and clear, and your largest individual living expense is gone.

With a 50-year mortgage, you are guaranteed to have that debt hanging around your neck well into retirement, or worse.

And yes, I’m aware of all the hand-waving and outdated assumptions in that first paragraph, don’t @ me. Broadly speaking, the point is that the long-term implications of 50-year mortgages becoming common are pretty terrifying, since it’s virtually impossible to expect to pay one of these off during period you are gainfully employed.

You pay for 30 or 35 years, then default in retirement (or die). The banks earn exactly as much in interest from you during that time period, compared with a 30-year loan, plus they get your house at the end.

It was a simple typo. What he said was “Americans who have worked, fought, and bled for this country”.

What he meant to say was “Americans who happened to be born in this country”.

Shit, even at historic lows of 3% interest it only drops the monthly payment by about 25%, but increases the total cost of the loan by 80%.

Its absolutely a terrible idea.

Mike Johnson once downvoted picture of a cute kitten peeking out of a box… on c/cats, no.less!

Dammit, this one is subtle. I spent way too long looking for some context clue I was missing before I realized what comm this is.

No, you see, the difference is that democrats are trying to extort trump and republicans into renewing ACA subsidies. Trump is just withholding SNAP benefits until democrats give in.

I do. I mean, its not like I’m going to fuck up “add 2 cups of water, boil for 5 minutes, drain, add seasoning packet” right?

Wait, shit, was it “boil for 2 minutes”? OK cool, 5 minutes.

Boil 5 minutes then… add milk? Oh, no milk… cool

Alternatively, “making life more fair would be unfair to those who don’t benefit from more fairness.”
