Pork butt phase 1 complete! No trimming, just scoring. Seasoned and placed on the grill. The nice thing about pellet #smokers is how hands off it is. I do miss pulling all nighters at times and obsessing about the details but 95% chill and 5% work is worth it for a negligible difference in taste from a traditional smoker. Now sitting back while the smoker does its thing and I enjoy watching the rest of the #ufc fight tonight. Oh, by the way, congrats on the win @CrisCyborg ! #bbq #bbqstr #foodstr #nostr #nostriches #plebchain #carnivore #proofofsteak #bjj #mma #gn View quoted note →

In a few hours these guys will be on the pellet #smoker. I’ll do my best to remember to take photos of the process and share here on #nostr. Each #butt is approx 10lbs. Should take about 14 hours low and slow. #bbq #bbqstr #carnivore #proofofsteak #pleb #plebchain #foodstr

Right now, someone is working on the same idea you have. Your two options: relax and take it the rest of this Saturday off or work to make your idea a reality. Choose wisely. #startup #motivation #nostr #nostriches #plebchain

Good morning! Tomorrow I’ll be #smoking another pork butt (or two). Stay tuned… #bbq #bbqstr #foodstr #gm View quoted note →

Think positive. When your mind drifts into negativity (envy, greed, jealousy, etc.), focus on the things you’ve achieved in your personal and work life. Negativity is toxic and creeps into everything. Fight it off the moment it starts to appear. #positivity #nostr #gn

GM everyone. Make today a special day for someone. Be helpful at the gym. Hug someone who needs it. Pay for a strangers coffee. Donate to a charity or directly to a person in need. Invite someone new to your town to hangout with your friends. Anything. That will be your own gift. #gm #nostr

It’s easy to complicate things, the challenge is to make things simple. #focus #morivation #nostr #gn

Every once in a while I’ll read this just to remember how bad #inflation is. It’s been a long road learning about business, finance, money, etc. Wish school would have done a better job of it. #introductions #gm #nostr #btc View quoted note →

Been a while but back doing a pulled pork on the pellet smoker! Life goes by fast and just keeps speeding up as time goes by. It’s worth slowing down sometimes. That’s why I really enjoy #bbq. It forces you to shift down and go low and slow, at least for a little while. The results are worth it and the memories shared with loved ones are ones you’ll likely cherish. It’s the simple things. #pulledpork #smoker #pelletgrill #gmg #introductions #nostr #foodstr

Was able to catch the #spacex launch. Shamefully thought it was a meteor/asteroid/comet before realizing it was just #Falcon9. #space #rocket #southfl

Lights flickering? 6 things to look for: – Are light bulbs dimmable? – Dimmer is compatible with light bulb? – Dimmer is compatible with driver/transformer? – Is the dimmer minimum load met? – Transformers/drivers over or under loaded? – Any potential harmonic distortion? #lighting #LightingTips #tips #introductions #nostr #flicker

Unpopular opinion: Real estate isn’t a good investment. Most people buy real estate to buy the home they live in, not to use as a rental property for cash flow. Buying a home can cost you hundreds of thousands, or even millions, over the long term. Even with a low fixed interest rate, ever increasing property taxes and insurance rates, home improvements, maintenance and repairs will negate most equity growth over time. Renting might be a better option for most and you are not locked in if you decide to move on to a different part of town or get a job in a different state. Plus, the property headaches belong to the landlord or property manager which are just a phone call away. Of course, there are exceptions but in general, I believe the above to be true for most. #RealEstate #Investing #CashFlow

Courage — most people lack it. Embrace the struggle journey. It’s easy to give up but those that keep pushing forward are rewarded in countless ways. Continue to innovate, inspire, and make a lasting impact. #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #BusinessMotivation #introductions #nostr

Museum lighting is poorly designed in many cases. Proper lighting must protect and present art impeccably. Blend natural light with color-tunable LEDs and smart sensors for perfect ambiance. The right light matters for masterpieces. #Museums #LightingDesign #ArtPreservation #introductions #nostr

I don’t understand why people like roasts. Why humiliate and then celebrate those you wish to honor? It’s a ritual I don’t understand and wouldn’t want to participate in.

Espresso from a moka pot. Takes more time and effort than a Nespresso but do enjoy the process and results. #gm #introductions #nostr #espresso #coffee #moka #bialetti

There is no better lighting than natural lighting. Daylight is supreme in lighting, blending health, energy savings, and mood. Mix natural light with strategic artificial light to elevate spaces round the clock. #LightingDesign #SustainableLiving #ArchitecturalLighting #introductions #nostriches
