He means receiving payment.

Completely shaving the pubic area felt great for a day. Then it was awful. I never did it again. I couldn't sign up for doing the maintenance required to keep it comfortable.

I'm concerned about spoilage during the cold smoke. How does the belly smell? Obviously it's going to smell smoky but does it also smell funky?

An example of how Niven and Pournelle collaborated: In Lucifer's Hammer, Niven wanted a scene in which a surfer was surfing a massive wave generated by the asteroid strike. Pournelle said it was too fantastical. Niven said it would be really cool. Pournelle figured out a realistic setting for the event.

If Larry was writing on his own, the scene would have been unbelievable. If Jerry were on his own, the scene would not exist. But together, the scene works.

I had the pleasure of meeting these two SF heroes. Niven is very nice. Pournelle really likes to hear himself talk.

Cooking method depends on cut. Sounds like you have chops? Those you can grill. Check out this page.

Goat has a gamey flavor that goes really well with sharp flavors, acid does well, etc. Here are some recipes.

Sugar is hygroscopic and reduces microbe reproduction. Honey never goes bad. "Preserved" means it is made to last a long time. OP really just needs to give the figs a smell.

YouTube recommended Davie504 to me right around the time I started playing bass in April 2020, and I really liked him for a bit. Soon he started doing increasingly goofy videos, all memes etc. I quit watching his content. More recently YT recommended another Davie504 video and it was good. He seems to have gotten the message and is making bass videos again.

... and society just got a little bit worse

That's crazy. Slapping his wife isn't going to help her appearance at all!

In GA, any passenger can be drinking. If the driver has 0% BAC there is no open container issue. If the driver has any BAC over 0% then there's an open container charge.

BSA filed for bankruptcy due to the many lawsuits against them for enabling and covering up child molestation. Whatever one might say about woke-ism, it didn't cause the sexual abuse.

Oh, you...

When they don't follow traditional procedures it's because they tested an easier, faster, tastier, or more effective method.

When they test these modifications, they do taste tests with multiple cooks to decide if they should use them. ATK is quality.

Their magazine is cool. It has recipes in which the cook describes how they developed the recipe, their goal in developing it, the reasoning behind modifications, etc. Interesting and informative.

My wife got a book of slow cooker recipes. One she made was tuna casserole. It was truly awful.

She still sometimes talks about how polite I was about it. I was just sitting there eating until she said, "This is terrible," then I said "Oh, thank God, let's never make this again."

You could sprout them. Look up instructions, but basically you dampen them and leave them in a sheet pan covered with moist towels for a couple of days.

The result is delicious, the green plant part is fresh and nice while the seed part is nutty and toothsome. As a side benefit, they're very nutritious.

Ah, an Aussie

Yeah, there's good reason that these are the toppings you expect to get when you order a burger, they are a great combination.

For the onion, I like to take a thin slice all the way through, so that I have a disc of onion rather than a few rings.

I was feeling a bit invulnerable after getting vaccinated, like I could just live normal life again. Breakthrough infection is real, my kid caught covid at school, and my wife is now sick.

Not at all saying don't bother getting vaccinated, quite the opposite. Just, still be careful with masks and social distancing and all that.

You can still catch covid, you almost certainly won't need hospitalization, but you'll feel like shit for a while and might still have long-term effects. Better not to get it at all if you can manage it. Good luck out there.

The Tuskegee Airmen atrocity is a horrific and disgusting piece of American history that has never had the sort of repercussions it should have.

Also, you realize that everyone is encouraged to get vaccinated, right? They're not targeting any minorities. No one is running an evil experiment on black folks. You might argue they're running an experiment on the whole population, but it's not about racism.

Sometimes I just toss them with oil and salt and roast them at 200/400, tossing occasionally, until they get brown spots.

Otherwise just use them as filler in some kind of soup, casserole, Shepherd or Cottage pie, etc

Use wood and wash in the sink. Wipe them with oil to maintain them.

If you absolutely must wash in the dishwasher, use plastic. Plastic is not less sanitary when new, they become less sanitary because they scratch easily. So you replace them often.

This is of course expensive and wasteful, so again I recommend wood and sink washing.

This type of pumpkin isn't tasty.

Local farmers markets. The peach farmers set up stands at most or all of them.

There's one in EAV on Thursday evenings. Grant Park Sunday mornings. Marietta Square Saturday mornings. Google for your locale.

My favorite dry rub: 1/4 C kosher salt 1/4 C brown sugar 1/4 C paprika 3 Tbsp black pepper 1 Tbsp garlic powder 1 Tbsp onion flake 1 Tbsp garam masala 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp celery seed

I'm not sure if you're just joking or are unaware of What's Up by 4 Non Blondes.

Regardless, a good cover, thanks for sharing.
