Had a Popeyes Spicy Sandwich today. Not good at all. The first one I had was amazing but the last two haven’t been good. The law of diminishing returns has definitely kicked in at Popeyes.  

We were in line to do the baking for the 80 somewhat stores located in Louisiana. On the re launch. By the time it was all said and done, their projections were just waaaay out of line. They (the buyers) expected each location to serve 600 a day. Hahahaha.

Watching the NHL trade deadline. Hopefully VGK can make one more defensive move.

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that rust on the Edelmetall?

Yes, on the cast iron and the leg extension cross members.

Whoever disagreed needs to fess up and recant! 😉

That sucks. Nothing worse than a rusty member.

You are correct re not needing a humidifier (at least in my experience). Depending on how much meat, you might end up (as I did) with two humidifiers.

Thanks for in input @20stone ...are you running a heater for the ferment stage? ,I’m getting one but thinking holding 75 can be done with just the fridge off, or is your ferment stage warmer ?

I brought that up with the buffalo last week. I might need some more pull from other forum members to make a change. The zoom was helpful with certain posts.

Poor Buffalo...

Last year a handful of folks were complaining that pages with lots of pix were taking "forever" to load because the pix were all too high rez. So the Buffalo takes the time/money to rework the forum software in order to make the forum quicker for folks with low bandwidth connections.

That move likely also saved BGE some money each month since they were storing/pumping fewer bytes from their server. So, on the surface at least, it seems like a win-win for everyone. However, there were many of us (myself included) that really liked the ability to call up the higher rez pix (just how often would folks want to see a higher rez image anyways?). Enlarging a pix using your browser controls sometimes helps but too often just creates a very pixelated image which doesn't allow tiny details to be seen.

So does the Buffalo now respond to the pendulum swinging back to appease the few? (or is it the many???)? It is possible to initially send the low rez pix when a page loads and link each pix to a separate high rez version. Would that impact BGE's monthly expenses in running this forum? Should BGE spend more money to mod the programming of the forum software to implement that capability?

Poor Buffalo... damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

P.S. - I blame @Botch - he was quite vocal last year about the problems with pages taking so long to load pix. However, now that he's retired and living a more leisurely life perhaps page load times are less important.
