After Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden draws sharp contrast with Trump on obeying rule of law
  • It's because it's only bad if the opposition is furnished with those abilities.

    No president Left, Right or otherwise would relinquish such power. They'd complain about an opponent gaining it but would see nothing wrong with having it themselves.

    I couldn't see any government shying away at a chance to have more power.

  • He'd probably call in SEAL Team 6 and tell them to 'beat Medicare'.

    Jokes aside, it's really quite upsetting to see an old man mentally decline so quickly and publicly. I just hope that those around him will usher him away from the spotlight in a dignified manner if it gets bad enough.

    Mental decline and/or Alzheimer's/dementia are fucking cruel. It's awful to watch a loved one go like that and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

  • My first attempt at beef short ribs!
  • Thank you, they were delicious. I don't know why the smoke rings were so vivid but I was pleasantly surprised! The ribs were seasoned with a home made SPG using American mustard as a binder.

    I had water in my drip trays for the first 4 or so hours then when I removed the delicious dripping water for making gravy I patted the ribs dry with a paper towel.

    I put a bit more oak on the coals while I was there then once the ribs had started to form a bark I did a light spritz of 50/50 apple cider vinegar and water at about the 5 hour mark. After the stall was over I wrapped them in butcher's paper with a little butter and put them back to get up to ~95C. 9 hours in total.

    There are so many variables involved it's hard to know exactly what influenced the rings so much. I'd definitely like to repeat it!

  • My first attempt at beef short ribs!
  • 🤣 Thank you. I've been practising a lot with cheap cuts and wings for a while and I've been reluctant to try a long smoke on something more expensive.

    I'm glad they turned out well as it's helped to build my confidence. Fear of failure and setting myself stupidly high standards has always held me back in life.

    Next time I hope I can get that bark a bit drier!

  • Thank you.

    They're a really great cut of meat. I've been ordering them at my local barbeque place for years but over time their portion sizes have been getting smaller. I guess their popularity has caused the prices to increase.

    I've yet to try a brisket mainly because I'm afraid of ruining it.

    My first attempt at some beef short ribs. They came out better than I could have hoped and I was pleasantly surprised that I managed to keep my temps sane for 9 hours.

  • So sensitive in fact that a really common type of pregnancy test basically involved exposing a particular type of frog to human female urine. The frog being so sensitive to the presence of certain hormones would begin to ovulate if the urine sample was from a pregnant woman.

    Really interesting but a bit of a shit lot in life for the frog!
