It's been so snowed.

Since on the subject….. for pork butt bone in ? Until they invent a pig that doesn't have bones in it's shoulder, it'll always be bone in. And that is a good thing. trim fat yes or no? As always, trim the fat you don't want to consume. For most of us, consuming large amounts of fat is not a good thing. The top cap is far too thick to render during the cook, it'll be a chunk of disgusting fat at the end. Trim it down to a reasonable thickness that will do its job of protecting the meat during the cook. wet brine yes or no? If yes with what? If you buy your butt at a grocery store, it is already brined. Soaking in salt water in the package. how long prior to smoking to apply rub? Night before or morning of cook. Either is fine. I prefer night before so it's one less thing to do the next day. inject yes or no? If yes with what? The very reason the shoulder is so good for pulled pork is that it's full of fat and connective tissue. No need to inject. wood type ? Apple? Hickory? Post oak? Maple? Mix? Other ? Pick your favorite. The flavor of a big hunk of fatty pork isn't going to be overly affected either way. Particularly for those that will douse it in BBQ sauce. general temp? 225 (slow and low) or high 275+? 225 until internal temp of 160, then pull. wrap yes or no? If yes foil or butcher paper. Also….. liquid , sugar , rub , butter what put in wrap? Pull it at 160 and put it in either a crock pot or an oven. Don't waste your time with wrapping and pellets - at this point it's just about low heat - no flavor is being infused. Just keep it at 225 to finish cooking. A quality crock pot at LOW setting is just as good as a smoker, and so much easier to deal with if it has a meat probe attachment. An oven is a good 2nd choice. pull temp? < 195? 195? 200? 205? At 204, it's done. Turn off the heat. Pull the crock from the pot or pull it from the oven. pull or chop? Pull may be only answer Remove the bones and excess chunks of fat. When what remains is meat, then put on your BBQ gloves and pull it to the size of pieces you like. Collect pork fat/juices yes or no? If yes what to do with them? (I put fat in beans and juice back in pork) Pour the juices into a fat separator. Do this before removing bones, fat, and pulling. If you do it this way. About the time you are done pulling, the fat will have floated to the top of the separator. Pour the non-fat portion back onto the pork and add more rub to season as desired. This liquid has all of the bone and connective tissue juices and is not only delicious, it is also full of nutrients. Discard the fat - it's just fat. People will try to convince you how good the fat is. But it's just fat.

Ahh... I see you blame the Democrats. You do realize that taking a political position like this puts your credibility at very near zero.

I can't understand why so many dummies can't read this post and not understand that you haven't made a clear point. You've said "I think the point is clear" - yet it isn't. Just spit it out.

Cool comment - and you are a useless little sheep f***ker. See how I called you a name after you called me a name. You should also see how this type of back and forth will lead nowhere in the long term.

You're 100% full of horseshit here. 100%.

... and you still don't have a clear point. You're here posting. People are reading. Take advantage of it and try to make a meaningful point.

You are right on that point. He doesn't need the money. But he DOES NEED the position so he can pardon himself. He's been convicted of many dozens of counts of criminal offenses. He's a felon 34 times over and more indictments are pending. Simply put, Trump has a knack for being a proven criminal. Many times, over and over again.

Your point is still not clear. Iran is a country of roughly 80 million. If, as you say, "dozens" are killed each year - that figure is quite small. The popcorn is delicious, but stop with the strength and bravery comments, you post like a pussy.

The point is not clear. Let me take a shot... Iran is a crooked country run by Muslims and yet the brave, strong Iranian citizens run and hide from their own government? Is that it? Cool story.

Did you forget? Republicans want to ban TikTok. Lock, stock and barrel. They say it is a threat to America. (Not sure that they're wrong.) What's your deal? Why are you blaming "lefties" here?

Irony at it's best: The dumbest president in history. A guy who struggles to speak at a 4th grade level. His favorite emotion is a tie between hate and anger. The guy with no leadership skills whatsoever. His only concerns are a tie between what he can do for himself and what we can all do for him. That self important and self centered jerk, in his desperation, decides to lay blame where it belongs... to "stupid people." If you haven't yet heard of what "projection" is - now would be a good time to learn about it. Psychological projection - Wikipedia

Hope that passes. When Trump's tariffs on goods from China takes effect - you'll need that money to pay for all imports from China which will be shooting up in price like a 2nd level of inflation. It's such a terrible idea. Got to keep that orange clown out of office.

It is common knowledge that Russia has been involved in election interference campaigns going back AT LEAST to 2016. Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections - Wikipedia It is also common knowledge that Russian and the US have been involved in at least 'low grade' cyber warfare since that time. The level has increased significantly since their invasion of Ukraine. From a technical perspective, we may not be terribly far from an all out cyber war with Russia at this very moment. Timeline was correct. But WKN beat me to it. Trump "openly" asked for Russia's help in "finding" Hilary's emails. (See above for WKN's post.) Ah yes, THOSE peace agreements! The ones that Kushner put together between countries that were not involved in any conflict whatsoever and, for the most part, NEVER actually had been. This was promoted as "making peace in the middle east" - when it was in fact, just smoke and mirrors (and US payoffs to the participants.) The only places these "peace" agreements took place were already firmly at peace. Trump did say he'd make peace in the middle east. Another campaign promise he failed to deliver on. This was just BS.

Having "proof" that an event happened does NOT actually include knowing the full depths of the event. Because - that is not the definition of "proof", at all. (It's cool that children are allowed to post here. It really is. But it can be frustrating when they obviously have the resources of the internet at their disposal, yet can't be bothered to fact check themselves before posting.)

Fletch It may well be the best comedy movie of all time.

What should "dawn on you" is the fact that nobody has left the border open. Nobody. The "open border" is nothing but a dumb myth perpetuated by dopes like you and fake news. In 2023, the Budget for US Customs and Border Protection was $25 billion dollars. If you think that is somehow equivalent to "leaving the border open"... you are complete idiot.

Trump looked the other way when Russia interfered with US elections, and then openly asked for Russian help to defeat Hilary Clinton. Imagine if a current candidate asked for that exact same help today. That would go very, very badly. Your memory seems quite short. Although he denied them, there is proof that Trump had deals with Moscow - we'll never know the depths of them. You say "Trump also signed peace agreements in the middle east" - really, which ones? We're on a discussion board - let's discuss. No need to be rude, just good old fashioned discussion.

Poor Tyreek in his $300k-ish car, being pulled out after breaking multiple laws and showing attitude from the start. However bad you think he was "roughed up" - it wasn't a 1/100th of a single NFL play he performs every Sunday. I get that lawyers are liars by profession. But, you can take a day off when you're posting here.

You are talking about nothing but rumor on top of rumor. Which is weak on top of weak.

Per the OP - "David Taylor at WTT. Good or bad?" Not good, not bad... It's freaking awesome. We'll be witnessing what could possibly become the stuff of legend.

I like the way you think.

The crux of this entire thread. Hill says he didn't do anything. Except clearly he was not doing what he should have done. This set up a course of events that shouldn't have happened. And - he has openly admitted this on TV multiple times. He has admitted over and over that he should have done better.

He was not complying with the order to exit the vehicle. He delayed as much as reasonably possible while talking on a cell phone. He was non-compliant for that duration. When the doors were opened, he put his leg out of the door. But made no effort to get out in any way. None. Watch the video again. He wasn't using his leg to stand up, he was using it as leverage to remain in the vehicle. (Ask any wrestler, without the leg as a point of support, it would have been easy for the police to pull him out.) One officer decided enough was enough, and yanked him out despite his non-compliance. That was not a easy task, this was a fit top NFL player... who then responded, in shock, "Damn..." Watch it again. It's not difficult to see. Hill was not voluntarily exiting the vehicle. He was trying his best to stay in the vehicle and delay.

Except you'd be changing the facts about what actually occurred. The seatbelt violation was reported as being observed prior to the stop.
