The progression is different for everyone so it's hard to give universal advice but I'll try. My dad is progressing quick, it took almost 2 years to get diagnosed. He was diagnosed in May and I'll be lucky if he is still arou

My dad is dying. ALS is 100% fatal. Suggesting that a $700 online course about paleo diet is going to save him is disgusting. The Wahls protocol is generally recognized as a scam with no scientific backing.

Damn - this + the hospice piece really hits home. My dad is rapidly loosing his battle with ALS. He has always loved to cut grass. He has very limited mobility (in some ways he is lucky, most people with late stage ALS are basically paraly

That's not how QoS works on a DOCSIS network. DOCSIS QOS is controlled via the DOCSIS config file and is applied to any cable modem, it is part of the standard that all cable modems - so any QOS that would be applied to Comcast suppli

It works because the route to 1.2.3.4 is relatively stable. The routes would only change and end up at data center #2 if data center #1 stopped announcing the routes. In that case the connection would just re-negotiate to data center #2.

Nope - just like about every other protein the key is to not overcook it. I personally thing spatchcocking the turkey is the way to go. The cavity is your enemy for an evenly cooked bird. With that big cavity you have trapped cold air on

This wasn't a typical "someone clicked a link they shouldn't have" attack. There was a vulnerability in the RMM server software that allowed remote code execution. The attackers used the RCE to push the ransomware out to

This is very true - I think that is one of the reasons BBQ is so popular across so many demographics - it is relatable and achievable.

Awesome - I’ll have to check him out. We likely have mutual friends in the bbq community. I don’t have any plans to go full time with BBQ anytime soon but that’s exactly the model I’ve looked into.

It’s not waste in that it goes into the trash - it’s just a sink cost that I’ll never recoup. Anything left over I keep for myself, give to friends/family, or donate (which is actually more difficult than you would expect since it is p

Good BBQ is good BBQ - no matter if it is in Texas, Portland, Ohio or anywhere else.

Yep - you are pretty close. I still have my tech job and don’t plan on going full BBQ anytime soon. I do it enough that it keeps me busy but I can always say no to a catering job or event so it’s still enjoyable and not a chore. The right o

The short answer is BBQ is “hobbies gone wild” for me. My “9-5” is in IT and that’s what pays the bills by BBQ is my passion. I’ve being doing BBQ professionally for 10+ years. It started out just done some small catering jobs and has grown

That's exactly what I did starting about a month ago - I've got enough on hand to last about a month (most of that is committed to catering jobs that already have a set price - so my forecasting is much easier but if I didn't

Prices had come back down to pre-pandemic levels up until about a month ago. Nationwide easing of restrictions has increased demand faster than the supply chain has been able to keep up. That is an excellent idea (having more than just a tr

Raising prices is an option but that is very market dependant. BBQ customers in general are more price sensitive than lobster customers and I would lose sales at a higher price point. There is a certain price (which I have generally found i

Looks like I'll end up having to pull brisket off the menu again this summer (I own & operate a BBQ food truck). Before this latest blow to the supply chain I have already seen a 66% increase in brisket prices in the past 4 weeks (

Everything I cook is temperature + feel. For example on pork once it hits 200-205 (depending on what temp I'm cooking at, the higher the cook temp the higher the finish temp) the thermapen becomes an expensive toothpick to feel for ten

If you don't want to fix it yourself Thermoworks will repair it for next to nothing. I think I paid like $10 to have one with a similar issue fixed. Normally it is something with the case around the pivot point that causes it to stop t

If you still have the Thermapen they will likely replace it or repair it for free or cheap (like $10).

I'm a professional cook (I do professional BBQ competitions and own a food truck) and I own at least 5 Thermapens and several other Thermoworks products. For me the Thermapen is worth every penny to me. It's fast, accurate, and r

This isn’t accurate. The amount of data available on a DOCSIS network is incredible. Per modem SNR, power levels, preEq data, etc. If the data is used properly it cans find a loose screw on a tap or a damaged cable down the the foot. That b

I own a BBQ business and CostCo in my area often has meat less than my wholesale cost from various restaurant suppliers. I can often get Prime briskets from costco for less than Choice from other suppliers. The same is true for some other

That's interesting, I wouldn't have considered that but it make sense. If I'm at a football game or concert I'm much less likely to be streaming content and much more likely to be sharing content than a user at home. On
