Truth

No regrets. This time I was home to keep an eye on it. Came out better than any ribs my parents ever made. Through this thread I'm starting to realize that my parents don't really make good food... @Skrylaxx I feel like if I had a good way to cook rice correctly, I'd find more reasons to make it. After I get used to this slow cooker I might try that out. Edit:

Well your suggestion to verfiy the temperature before trying to use the slow cooker was genius. I got it at about 170 yesterday and left it set there. I just threw them in 5 minutes ago! This time I'll try not to touch it early lol I really don't think it will be a problem now that it's (hopefully) at the right temperature. Plus it's being delivered to my parent's house and I don't feel like driving over there... Edit: I'm going to regret that... I just went over to look at it and noticed it was still room temperature... Stupid old piece of sh*t popped the breaker and I didn't notice. Good thing I looked now instead of waiting.

You're absolutely right. I'm glad I threw it in the oven for a bit. That's what made it dry, but at least parts of it we're safe to eat lol

Just checked this old one and it was giving me 150... There's the problem...

He could use that money to be a dick, but I'm hoping he isn't a dick. As someone who doesn't really play GTAO because I'm broke and don't have access to anything fun, I really wouldn't mind some quick cash like that to buy things worth having. I don't use my own cars because I can ALWAYS find a better one and steal it. I was finally able to buy a weed farm, but got sick of: Can't resupply or deliver when I'm stuck using some shitty car. Without money to buy decent things, the game isn't really all that fun to me. Don't say "buy shark cards"... I can't justify spending money on something like that. Like I said, I'd love to be in a private server to actually enjoy the game... I can check later how much time I spent playing. I know it's a decent amount, and I know I never even got to 2 mil. Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying what he did should be acceptable. I'm just saying I get it and don't blame him for doing it, nor would I hold it against him like I would with the OP example.

Again though, this one doesn't really have an impact on anyone else. I don't really see a problem with that, but understand why you got banned lol It's the cheats that screw over other players that piss me off. You were just taking a shortcut.

The handle looks way too big, but the feet would make sense... Is that a "no"?

And has anyone ever choked on it? I'm still trying to figure out why a slow cooker has a choking hazard warning slapped on it...

Edit: Amazon makes impulse shopping too convenient... Edit: WTF kind of choking hazard could there be?!? Then I'm back to blaming the slow cooker... It's also a 1-10 setting, not high/low. I set it to 1, then turned it up a bit in the morning because it didn't seem hot enough. Should've turned it up more I guess...

That show is f*cked, but they do bring up some good points. I used to watch it until I got sick of the repetitive "but could it have been aliens" every 2 minutes. It's like a laugh track in a sitcom... But worse...

I'm going to blame the slow cooker that's likely older than I am... That and the way I put them in there. Some parts were still raw (like totally raw) and some parts were completely dry... I also dropped a piece after taking the f*cking picture, so I was already kind of pissed when I started eating them (after trying to get the bbq sauce out of the carpet)... I'm going to try again this weekend, but I'll only cook half the slab. I'm sure it would've turned out perfect if it was actually laying down, but I set them up like a teepee to make them fit. The parts I did eat were mostly dry, but the sauce was so good I didn't care. For a first attempt (both with ribs and with a slow cooker) I'm not all that surprised. I'm sure the next try will work out. I'm just glad I saved the better looking slab for my second try lol Edit: I was trying to keep my cat from getting too close while taking the picture...

I just impatiantly checked, they're barely breaking 140° in some spots...

Will do. I'm giving them some extra time because I opened it impatiantly. I will have pictures though. I forgot to mention that they started off in a shallow pool of BBQ sauce and rum. It should probably be whiskey, but I only had rum...

I just opened it to check the sauce levels and I swear I had a mini orgasm... My apartment smells like MEAT, but that smells incredible. Edit: sauce levels are good in case you were curious.

Didn't think so. I'm officially getting a slow cooker.

I'm pretty sure that was actually part of one of their episodes. Edit: That was a gif, but something got messed up. I think his face is funnier this way though, so I'm leaving it this way.

Every f*cking time...

Sounds harmless enough, honestly. I'm a low level and broke, so naturally people like to f*ck with me in GTA... It's rare that I can do much without some rich douchebag flying over in his stupid f*cking delorean to blow me up... I don't see how that's a fair fight to begin with, so something like that sounds totally reasonable. Edit: Clearly I'm a little salty...

Some people forget that it's just a game. Some people would also say that cheating is fine because it's just a game. Those people shouldn't be allowed to play online.

Using hacks/cheats/glitches just makes you part of the problem. Doesn't make you any better, just means that you're not good enough to play a fair game. Also kind of depends on the game/cheat. Your friend is using them for a competitive edge, that's a problem. It may mean that he's having more fun, but that's at the expense of another player's fun. Cheating in a solo/offline game (like old school game shark type stuff) isn't a problem. Nobody cares. Edit: I can still probably remember how to do the "Missing No." cheat in the original pokemon games.

I got the game just after launch, so I missed a lot of the pre-release bullsh*t. They still really f*cked the community though... I'm still not convinced dedicated servers are legit. My ping varies greatly depending on the lobby. I just hope it doesn't deter anyone from making another (better) F13 game somewhere down the road. It had potential. I still hop on once in a while. Usually just for a match or 2 before I get bored. I spent WAAAAYYYY too much time playing it lol

That's a tough one... Many people or more than happy to go to the movies for 2 hours and spend $20. By that logic, 6 hours of game time is all it takes. I have to argue that the quality of the game is more important than how long I actually play it. Those 2 hours you spent watching a movie were only worth it if you enjoyed the movie. I may have spent 50 hours (probably more) playing Sea of Thieves, doesn't mean it's worth the $60 (game pass is a great option btw). If I had paid for it, I would've been pissed. Then there are games like Skyrim, where you can play for (literally) MONTHS and still find something new in the game. I may have less time logged in Skyrim, but I'm more happy with that purchase than I would be with SoT had I paid for it. I can always go back and play it, even in 30 years (assuming my xbox still works).

@Cokeyskunk Put the ribs in about 2 hours ago. I CAN'T WAIT. Think I overstuffed it? It's ~3.5 lbs.

If it helps, I have the opposite feeling with these guys sometimes lol

Well you didn't have to watch it... Just be glad I didn't link the full video. Though, I do have to apologize for ruining the food thread... Turns out my mom has TWO slow cookers (but not for long). PLUS (as if I needed more incentive):
