Ahem. Mark Robinson used illicit funds gained from defrauding families who entrusted his wife to take care of their children to obtain a pretty nice truck.
Which he promptly crusted up with pizza stains…

In our pants. Toilets came out around the same time as smartphones, so it’s been a pretty revolutionary couple of decades around here.

Well those of us who have the freckle have always known. Given that you do not have the freckle, I’m afraid that is all I can share.

I hope they name all of the clones “Boyardees”. They’re technically just canned versions of the original.

In the sequel you learn the character’s full name is “Fruten Glee Beese Churger” & is often just referred to as “Po Nickles”

You know how every bad dude in cheesy 80s movies was named Chet or Trent?
Yup. Steef is now the universal dickhead name in cinema moving forward.

It is now your duty to inspect all white people for this mark & care for the ones unlucky enough not carry it.
This is honor is not to be taken lightly, you are now a leader undertaking grave responsibilities.

Boop that snoot now. Go on, don’t you dare leave that snoot unbooped.
- Comment on X (formerly Twitter) labeled an unflattering NPR story about Donald Trump as ‘unsafe’ | A spokesperson said the warning was a "false positive." 2 months ago:
You haven’t been paying much attention to the current state of journalism, have you?
Twitter is a decent portion of their revenue stream, and given that none of us want to pay them for their efforts, what do you suggest they do?
Those clicks are their livelihood & we’re all sitting here reading the article pasted directly to this thread.
YOU ARE COMPLICIT IN THIS TOO.

- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 2 months ago:
My analogy isn’t terrible, it’s spot fucking on. You just use the ice maker & wouldn’t want to lose it so you’ve attached more value to it than the Anova App.
Does the refrigerator not refrigerate without the ice maker? You didn’t buy an ice maker, you bought a refrigerator.
No one is pissed about the device not working. People are pissed that Anova is taking away a FEATURE.
Anova App = Feature included in original purchase price
Ice Maker = Feature included in original purchase price.
This isn’t about the value of what’s being taken away. It’s about the principle of taking away something that was already paid for.
If Anova wants a subscription based model, they’re welcome to it, but…
Their current customers did not buy into a subscription model & have the absolute right to be pissed off about being forced into one.
- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 2 months ago:
Would you buy a refrigerator from a manufacturer that wanted to make the ice maker a subscription service out of nowhere?
I get that the app isn’t a requirement for the device, but neither is an ice maker required for a refrigerator to function as designed.
They’re both features advertised as part of the original purchase price. Why does one get an expiration date out of the blue?
The people who are likely to be losing Bluetooth functionality are also the most likely to be from the original kickstarter batch.
Even if some-many of them have already upgraded to a newer model, that’s still one hell of a statement to make to your original backers.
- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 2 months ago:
It’s more about the principle. Why is it ok for a manufacturer to remotely disable a feature that was bought & paid for by a decades worth of customers?
Now that they’ve done it once, what’s stopping future attempts to gin up higher profits using the same tactics?
I don’t think anyone here is angry enough to go all Kid Rock on their Sous Vides, but I do think there are plenty who will look at a different brand when it is time for a replacement.
- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 2 months ago:
I have an Inkbird & really like it. Significantly less expensive than Annova, offers all of the same features from what I can tell, & it’s never given me any issues.
The app is of course a bit clunky & ultimately unnecessary, but it does actually function as advertised.
- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 2 months ago:
I think the bigger issue is that they’re bricking all support for the oldest models, trying to force customers to abandon a fully functional device just because they want more money.
The app subscription fee is obnoxious as all get out, but punishing your oldest customers for your profit margins is what’s a bit infuriating.
At least, imo.
- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 2 months ago:
It use to operate only off of Bluetooth, & then they added single band WiFi. They just added dual band WiFi as a new feature & are now removing Bluetooth functionality completely.
Absolutely a cash grab.

I do t know them, and I mean no offense, but I’m guessing it would sound a little more akin to:

But that’s just a guess.
- Comment on What knot(s) should I use to secure this? 3 months ago:
I get you on that, it doesn’t look like much. I’m guessing that’s because it’s a true follow through & looks “traceable”?
Physics or whatnot means the stress that knot puts on itself allows it to retain roughly 80% of the ropes strength, without a backup knot.
Many use a backup knot, but that’s typically just for convenience, to get the loose end out of the way.
The biggest reason, aside from the knot’s strength (…and to my knowledge), that it is used for climbing, is because it will not fail or slip past a rope delivery system, such as an ATC or a grigri.
Basically if you’re ass backwards & heading in the wrong direction, that knot may help stop your decent by not blowing past a safety measure.
