Crankit posted:Which place is more BBQ, Texas or Australia? Texas, what the Aussies call BBQ is actually grilling. Real BBQ is low-heat over a long period, usually a wood fire in a pit or smoker, whereas grilling uses the hotter-burning charcoal or propane, and is cooked in a short period. Rule of thumb is if the cook time isn't measured in hours, it isn't bar-b-que.

The joke I use with my inlaws is "To a southerner, BBQ is a noun, not a verb". For the stupid people: "BBQ is something you eat, not something you do". For my stupid question: I have a jacket I really like (It's a reversible, nice jacket for winter). I got the zipper caught in my car door and smashed it. Are there places that will fix the zipper?

Depends on the material but yes generally you should be able to get a zipper replaced. Look for businesses that do clothing alteration, repair, or tailoring and call them up.

Call some tailors (real tailors, not like the Men's Wearhouse or anything) in your area and ask about it. Chances are they'd just replace the zipper. I was in almost the same situation and had the zipper replaced on a really nice Columbia jacket for something like $30, which was way nicer than having to buy a new coat. There was apparently something about the way that coat was built that made it a particularly challenging job, too, so you may not even have to pay that much.

Has there been a cross-cultural study of the just-world fallacy to see if it depends on the prevailing religion? Seems like "good people get rewarded and bad people get punished" assumes an active and benevolent deity, which not all religions have. Edit: derp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis#Correlates Edit edit: Though there are differences across cultures, they seem to be attributed to inequality rather than religion.

And obviously Toronto's transit system is nothing like the scope of NYC's. It has 2.1 subway lines. It's laughable. How do you have a tenth of a subway line?

There was apparently something about the way that coat was built that made it a particularly challenging job, too, so you may not even have to pay that much. Columbia is really good about customer service believe it or not. I had a $200+ Columbia jacket that has some of the stitching start to come loose in the armpit area, and I contacted them and they said they would repair it if I shipped it to them. About a week later I got a package from Columbia and it was a brand new coat that was a 2 year newer updated model of my old coat. The stitching problem was so minor (maybe a 1-inch area where the seam had come apart) I still can't believe they sent me a brand new coat. I was only out the cost of shipping them the original coat. Some companies are just fantastic with the customer service. My dad had a 10+ year old pair of Sorel hunting boots and he sent them to the company to get the soles repaired. They just sent him a brand new pair at no cost. Anyway it never hurts to contact the manufacturer before spending money on fixing something yourself! Even if it's damage that you caused (like, how could Sorel possibly be responsible for the soles wearing out on a decade old pair of boots?) it never hurts to check and see if they will fix/replace the item for free or cheap.

Yeah, it's nothing quite that fancy. It's just a decent Addias reversible jacket. Tailor near me quoted $7 to replace the slider (it wasn't the full zipper) but we'll see as the zipper has some huge loving teeth.

That's not really how karma works, though. You can try to explain it as "good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people" but it's more complex than that and doesn't necessarily involve a diety. It's more of a cause-and-effect law of the universe type of thing. The general idea is that if you are a good person you do good deeds, and these good deeds have positive effects that reverberate throughout the universe. The more good deeds you do the more likely you are to receive some of the positive effects of the good deed chain. So, if you do lots of good things and surround your self with good people, you will get more of that goodness kicked back to you during your life. It's kind of like you're putting tons of "good" molecules into the universe and thus increasing the likelihood that you yourself will run into these "good" molecules (obviously not in a literal sense). It's not "you're bad in this life so you turn into a worm the next life" like people tend to generalize it. The idea of Karma is far more complex and far-reaching than that.

What the gently caress is "barbecue"? In America we spell it like it sounds: with two hyphens and a Q! Are you still mad about 'football'? What do you call meat cooked over a low heat for a long period in a pit or smoker, then? American bar-b-que? Broiling happens in an oven, whereas grilling happens on a grill. Simple.

On meat smoking forum I was on if i remember right, BBQ = smoked between 200f and 250f and usually finished meat temp slightly over 200. Regular smoking was done at 200f or below and probably way less than final 200f meat temp. BBQ meats are typically fatty gristly cuts and the 200f meat temp is to insure all that is melted in or softened. I can make good goddamn brisket but its lots of work and 20 hours of tending the smoker. So Ive avoided doing it for a year or more. Thinking about one of those little electric cabinet smokers.

The American style restaurants I deal with who cook brisket and jacob's ladders and ribs and pork shoulder in the American BBQ style all call it 'smoked low&slow' (or words to that effect) on their menus.

hoobajoo posted:Is there a distinction between mighty American 'que and like, smoked hams or salmon? BBQ is pretty much universally slow-cooked pork (in some places the whole pig all at once) although Texas does beef but who really listens to Texas anyway? (yeah yeah, beef brisket is good too whatever) What really makes it BBQ and not just slow-cooked meat is the sauce or rub, but that varies by region, and trying to make an argument on which is best will ignite a holy war on the level of  (the best is vinegar-based).Edit: Generic "BBQ" in a place without a local style is probably some variation of the Kansas City style, where the sauce is thick, sticky, and tomato-y, with lots of different types of meat. dupersaurus fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Dec 4, 2013 |

So, I have access to a 20% discount from GamersGate for a pricing error on their part last year. I would like to extend my discount to my fellow BF4 players. I am unsure of how many copies of the game I can buy from GG before I lose my discount, so I planned on only buying one copy at a time to give to my comrades in arms while they cover the cost and paypal fees only. Should I make an SA-Mart thread or should I just post what I want to do in the BF4 thread?

Another question: How do I get the bookmarks bar to stop showing up in Chrome? It's still there even though "show bookmarks bar" is unchecked. And it's not even a real bookmarks bar, it's just a bar asking me to import my bookmarks and I don't want to and just want the bar to go away. Also every time I open a new tab, it pops back up if it does manage to hide itself. I don't want it there AT ALL, I never use bookmarks. I only look at like 3 sites on the internet.

My girlfriend constantly tells me half-truths just so she can gauge my reaction. This the most straightforward example I can explain: if I ask her to pick up 2 boxes of cereal A and 1 box of cereal B, she'll arrive home and tell me she bought 1 box of cereal A, 1 box of cereal B, and 1 box of cereal C. It isn't true, she actually did buy exactly what I asked for, but in that moment I have no idea what she says is true or not. I think she does it to gauge my reaction or to toy with me in some way. I'm not sure if it's malicious or not, and it doesn't really bother me at all. It doesn't feel malicious. So far, all of the examples of this specific behavior of hers have been regarding trivial things, so I haven't been bothered. Is there a specific name for this type of behavior?
