My granddaughter was born on my friend's birthday. But in Australia, which led me to telling my friend that my granddaughter was born on his birthday which is weird because his birthday wasn't until tomorrow.

I have my last name and a suffix, so I can share it with family. But my dad just can't wrap his head around the @ between his first and last name. So many aliases for him.

My layman understanding is this is how it works. The deadlier strains can't spread when the host is dead.

Paper is a CO2 sink so good for the environment.

I'm bothered the boxes aren't the same size, ruining the joke

It definitely will, the scary part is how soon. They are still making media on the regular.

Happened today with a password prompt. He didn't think he could type the wrong password 3 times.

I always felt like it wanted to be 2001: a Space Odyssey. Watch it as an art piece more than a movie.

Converting to reverse flow (lemmy.world)
 

I have an Oklahoma Joe offset smoker that I'm in the process of converting to reverse flow. They sell the baffle plates separately and ordered a set once I verified they fit. I just need to get the smokestack moved to the firebox side of the smoker. Wife wanted smoked wings and jalapeno poppers today, but I didn't have the stack moved yet. I used the piece of steel pipe I acquired for when I do the move and the duct elbow I was using to lower the draw point to move the draw point to the center/back of the smoke chamber. The smoke went very well with much more even heat distribution. I'm going to test it some more and may just stay with it. I need to see how a brisket will fit though.

Two meat Thanksgiving (lemmy.world)

Did a brisket and a spatchcock turkey for US Thanksgiving. Salt and pepper only on prime cut brisket from Costco. 250° on the offset from lunch Wednesday to about 7am. Moved it to the roaster oven to finish. Raised the smoker temp to 300° or so and put on the turkey until it had a good smoked look. Moved it to the oven to finish the last hour. When brisket hit 195°, wrapped it in cling wrap and put it in the cooler. Turkey followed along with some baked corn. Everything was cooked and in the cooler by 11. Got to sister's house 2 hours later and everything was still hot and ready to serve. Tired but I think I'll do this every year

He can't make rally chickens in the dugout anymore (lemmy.world)
 

Had to rewind when my wife asked me what that meant. Definitely needed context. After a quick Google I can now fold rally chickens.

Bronco car ride game (lemmy.world)
 

I'm totally fanboying over the new Bronco and created a car game to annoy the wife and kids. Similar to punch-buggy or slug-bug. Except you get 2 points/punches per Bronco you spot (1 for each syllable) BUT if it's a sport, another player can call 'Sport' and gets a point or punch-back (harder ofc)
