Anybody know where I can buy a $1,000 wagyu rib roast?

They're everywhere these days.

The difficult part is deciding between the 3X points or the 0% interest 5 year loan.

For some, their is the additional problem of trying to get their money back a few years after they ate it cuz it didn't meet expectations.

Can't flip, only rotate. Not perch and rotate.

I've been Prime since day one and my order says it won't be delivered until next Tuesday also.

It may be that they oversold them and won't actually deliver them. That is what happened a couple months ago with the special woot had on ghee. Even tho they gave an expected shipping date a few of us here had their orders canceled at the last minute (stated day of delivery).

My woot purchases always estimate a week or two delivery but I usually get them in 2-3 days.  Maybe I'm just in a good part of the supply chain.

A brick of .22 subsonic Norma ammo. Amazing how many rounds you can shoot when it’s raining at the deer camp

Same, I’ve been prime for years. Hopefully they didn’t oversell but I’ll temper my enthusiasm just in case

New MFP arrived today...


Old Xerox has gone away (given away to someone that's going to try to repair it). Win-win for me since he gave a hand getting the new one into position and carted off the old.

@1911Man nice printer - lot better than my relatively new inkjet. When I told the fella at the Apple store that I wanted to buy a printer, he looked at me sideways. 

Guess I find more value in printing than some these days. Either way, nice find!

Man, that’s tough luck. Too close to the sidewall to patch. Hope you find a decent deal

@NorthPilot06 - I was dealt a harsh reminder about sales in an Apple store a few weeks ago.  After several years of pushing back against the remainder of the family and their allegiance to Apple phones I crossed over to the dark side.  A week prior to the deal I showed up with my dinosaur era android Galaxy phone and inquired if they could transfer my contacts and calendar (I would have xferred more but those were baseline).  Good salesperson assured me they could along with the required steps to make it happen.  I had the prereqs covered, demo'd to the rep and left thinking I had a chance.

Week later, deal done-time to move the data.  Well it doesn't want to work-senior tech and store manager intervention (likely a programmed dance). So after several attempts I declared victory and told them I would be quite a spokesperson on my way out of the store.  Nothing like the manual recovery. 

I should have seen it coming-haven't bought a car in years but this wasn't far off that experience.  Rant over.  Off Friday night LEO soap-box.

I would patch that, but I live dangerously. And I have a manual tire machine.

Costco had windshield wipers for 6 bucks!   I'm done with these overpriced wipers that claim to be better. Seems like every time I need them I pop in to a local auto parts store.... and can't find wipers for a decent price and walk out paying 20 bucks or more per wiper.

Sweet I need new ones. I’ll swing by tomorrow and see if they have my size

I have it fully set up for my laptop now. Made the IPv4 settings I wanted (I use static IPs for this type of thing) as well as changed the name to also what I wanted. I'll probably try to print from my phone later (my new Pixel 4XL ). 

Even the test page quality is better than what it replaced. 

I also have tray 1 loaded with legal size paper and tray 2 loaded with letter size paper.

@kl8ton wipers are a rip off they used to streak but the new ones just fall apart.

I'm in the market for a commercial pie dough sheeter.

I'm looking at a Somerset CDR-1550

https://www.smrset.com/dough-roller-cdr-1550.shtml

Anyone have one?

milesvdustin

Will that do pizza dough? 

Edit: a google search shows it will. And is also way outside my price range for a cooking tool. Even though I have two eggs 

ColbyLang

@ GregW, why the need for a commercial sheeter? I own a bakery. I can offer you some insight on a few different commercial brands 

nolaegghead

well, that torch isn't quite as good as the one I had....little less power and no valve.  But still a good buy.

Mine were delivered today. I've used the 4000 head in the past and it was a fine torch head. I never thought the 8000 was worth the extra money for just lighting charcoal. Nowadays tho, the price diff between the 4000/8000 isn't but a few bucks so the 8000 is probably the better head for any use.

When my 4000 head died a few years ago I already had a BernzOmatic BZ4500HS Heat Shrink Torch head that I bought about 5 years ago on the recommendation of some folks in a sous vide forum to use for searing. Quickly found that I don't really like searing a steak with a torch so that head has just been lighting charcoal (with the occasional heat shrink gig on the side) for the last few years.

Please do. We had a Acme Mr11 for 30 years. It finally reached the end of it's usable life.

Based on the luck with Acme, I bought a new Acme MRS11. It turned out to be a miserable piece of equipment. It had numerous issues, the worst was black grease in the dough.

Acme would do nothing to address the issues. The machine was only 30 days old when the trouble began.

I finally pressured the distributer enough that they forced Acme to refund them their money and thy refunded it to me.

I'm looking for a machine other than Acme, and I've heard Somerset makes a good sheeter.

Yes, it will do almost any type of dough, but it's really a commercial unit. They weigh over 100 pounds and take up a lot of room.

Smart wool base layer top. If I like it I might order more.

Are you solely sheeting pie dough with it? Plenty of “bread dough” sheeters would work in your application if so. Check out Rondo or Cinelli Esperia. I know a couple of smaller bakeries that use both. When we were less automated we had an Oshikiri. More of a sheeter/former tho
