Reverse smoke sous vide chuck roast.
I did 25 lbs of sausage in the offset smoker this weekend and had some coals left after it was done.
So I tossed about a 4lb chuck on it for two hours. Got a good bark. Vac sealed, then in fridge over night. Then 10 hours at 150 in the sous vide.
I may never smoke a brisket again.
The rub had the usual stuff but also green cardamon, coriander seed, star anise, a small bit of sugar and coffee in it. The juice alone is amazing.
Chuck is superior for smoking to brisket, yes I said it and I am not sorry for it.

Understanding Inflation - A Short Explanation
You need to understand the rate of inflation alone is not enough. That lower inflation rates doesn't equal prices going down at all, even a little bit.
Year one, inflation at 8%, a 1 dollar item is now 1.08
Year two, inflation at 12%, a one dollar item from year one, is now 1.21
Year three, inflation at 14%, a one dollar item from year one, is now 1.38
Year four, inflation goes "down" to only 3%, yay we win right?, A one dollar item from year one, is now 1.42.
Inflation is now "low" but the price is cumulative as is the true inflation. The true inflation rate here over 4 years is 42%.
The TV will say "inflation is going down", it isn't a lie, it also isn't the truth. Not to mention what happens if you get a "bad year" next, say just going back to 8% in the next year.
1.42 x 1.08 = 1.53
In year one 8% was 8 cents on the dollar, in year 5 it is 11 cents on the dollar of the previous year. And a total of 53% over 5 years.
Now do it on everything you buy and have to pay for, food, energy, housing, clothing.
Inflation is an at will unregulated tax on every thing you own, buy, sell, etc. It makes the income tax seem benevolent.
If you read this far you now understand the problem more than most so called "economic experts". Those who didn't read this far are likely wondering why things are so bad if the TV people say inflation is down.

Something occurred to me. One issue I have with Nostr stuff outside of X/Twitter clones is the lack of context.
Like I tried a chat app on my site early on for my peeps. It worked ON THE SITE but put random comments into feeds, so I shut it down. Same thing when I connected to Fountain, I make a comment like, "really great episode" and it shows in my feed with no context to people using something like Primal or Damus.
Now telegram has been hit by the state arresting the founder. We have also learned it is mostly because he told the CIA to get fucked when they wanted a back door into it.
So I know, "wen TG clone on Nostr" but when can we do that in a way the makes fuckin sense? I don't want 50 comments a day in my feed to my people like, "consider Jersey giant chickens" with no context. I don't want to look at your feed like that either. Seeing your comments about some video game with again no context. How do I even know it is a game.
What occurred to me though is DMs already do this. If I DM someone it doesn't show in my feed, so can't we just use the DM side and expand it to do like "groups" and make a TG clone right now.
I am no dev so I know I don't know how much shit goes into it but it feels half way there already to me.
I do know unless we can fix the large macro issue, all these apps connecting to Nostr, like Fountain will simply not get used and do more harm then good.

Can these people not just STFU and go back to their insanity privately like most people do?

So here is my issue with all the services starting to connect with Nostr, like chats, say Fountain.fm, etc.
There is no context in the posts that show on nostr. I comment to my Grandson on Fountain, it shows up here, it makes NO SENSE to anyone that sees it, zero context, what is the point?
We need to develop some manner of context in this. A link back to the original, something. "One key pair and your tribe is everywhere" is great, I came up with it after all. 😆
But with no context it just isn't working. What solutions do you guys think would help with this?

Urban “Ditch Fishing" as a Survival Skill – Epi-3544
This is a true survival skill, one practiced for a long as such small creeks have existed. It fed everyone from country boys, to poor kids like me in the 80s, and even the hobos of the 1860s-1950s. Today we look at this skill, how to find locations close to you, how to catch fish in them and more.

Join me at 12:30 CDT - When I say "ditch fishing" am a using a common term amount anglers who fish very small bodies of water in urban, suburban and even somewhat rural environments. While some really could be called actual ditches, most are more accurately small creeks and road crossings are ideal places to gain access to them.

I really enjoy this guy's content, far more useful "survival information" than most so called "survival channels" etc. Based on how people really lived for about 100 years of post Civil War history.
