Posted this is a while ago and it got no love. :( In case you missed it the first round, here is the cleaned up version. (i.e. ingredients broken out at the top.)

Chili for the Fat Guys that like eating chili and watching football

This is enough ingredients to make two versions of the chili, a normal and spicier variety
I'm guessing you can serve about 12 to 15 bowls from each version.
(Next batch will be for an annual playoff party and I'll try to keep count.)


Ingredients list:
3tb oil for cooking
5 large onions
10 large jalapeno
5 hot peppers (habanero, scotch bonnet, etc.)
5tb oregano
3/4cup chili powder
4.5tb cumin
1t cayenne
6-8 dried peppers (chili, jalapeno, etc.)
1.5tb salt
1.5t pepper
8cloves garlic
4 bay leaves
2 large oranges
4 limes
Bottle of Coke a Cola
1 - 7.5oz chipotle in adobe
1 - 12oz chipotle in adobe
3 - 28oz cans diced tomatoes
2 - 6oz tomato paste

4-6lbs stew beef or chuck shoulder
4-6lbs pork shoulder

===============================================

Takes about 2 days to cook. Prepare the beef and pork during the week and assemble the final chili on Friday evening/Saturday morning. (If you want to the chili for college games, move it forward a day if only watch pro.)

Prepare the Beef:
Cube tough/cheap meat into 1" chunks--4 pounds or so. The tougher the meat the better it is going to stay together through the cooking process--something like chuck shoulder works well. You can use stew beef if you don't want to cut the meat into chunks.
When trimming, keep the fat and lose some of the larger muscle fibers.

Dice one and half largish onions
Dice 4 large jalapeno

Depending on your skillet size you'll probably need to cook in batches.
Toss the onions and jalapeno into the skillet with a bit of oil for a few minutes before you add the meat. Cook until browned. Drain the fat and put the batch of meat into a Dutch oven.
Once you have all the meat in the Dutch oven add:

1/2tb oregano
4c garlic
1/3+ cup chili powder
1tb cumin
1t cayenne

Toss everything over a low heat for five minutes or so. Give a chunk of meat a taste and make sure it starts normal and finishes hot. Put the Dutch oven into a fridge for a day or so.

-----------------------------------

Dried Pepper paste
De-stem and de-seed a bunch of dried peppers--jalapenos, scotch bonnets, etc--a chili or two won't hurt
Soak in water for 15-20 minutes
Drain and put in a food processor and turn them into paste.
Use some of the pepper paste when you cook the pork and save the rest for the chili base

-----------------------------------

Prepare the Pork:
Mix in a small bowl
1.5tb salt
1.5t pepper
1.5tb cumin
1.5tb oregano
8c garlic
2tb of the dried pepper paste
Smear it all over a 6ish pound Pork Shoulder bone-in.
Put the pork in a crock pot.
Add
1.5 onions sliced/large chunks
4 bay leaves
Extract the juice from
2 large oranges
4 limes
Add enough coke to cover the pork

Slow cook the pork for 5 to 6 hours on low. Don't over cook the pork, get the temperature to 145 but don't cook the pork so long it shreds. The pork will be right when the fat pulls away from the meat easily, but the bone still needs to be cut out. Don't worry too much about getting the pork over 145degrees, we'll heat it up later to make sure there is no trichinosis

Cube the pork into 1" chunks, removing all the fat.

Cooking the meat or the pork too much at this stage will make for a much soupier and less chunky chili later.

-----------------------------------

Make the Chili base and Assemble:
I make two versions of the chili base--one normal and one hot. Most people can handle the normal base. Folks that like hot food will enjoy the hotter base.

Normal Version:
Heat a Dutch oven with 1tb of oil
add 1 diced onion and 2-3 diced jalapenos
Saute over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until onions start to turn transparent
Add:
7.5oz chipotle in adobe
42oz diced tomatoes
6oz tomato paste
simmer for a bit to eliminate some of the water
add:
1tb cumin
1.5tb oregano
2tb+ chili powder
half/2lbs of each type of the meat

Mix it well and put in the oven at 275degrees for 90minutes

*********************************

Hot Version:
Heat a Dutch oven with 1tb of oil
add 1 diced onion, 2-3 diced jalapenos, 4-5 diced hotter peppers (I used habanero, jalafuego, and scotch bonnet)
(careful with the hotter peppers--wash your hands...)

Saute over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until onions start to turn transparent
Add:
12oz chipotle in adobe
42oz diced tomatoes
6oz tomato paste
2tb of the dried pepper tomato paste
simmer for a bit to eliminate some of the water
add:
1tb cumin
1.5tb oregano
2tb+ chili powder
half/2lbs of each type of the meat

Mix it well and put in the oven at 275degrees for 60minutes
at the 60 minute mark, pull it out and add 2tb of ground cayenne pepper--and put back in the oven for 30 minutes.
You should be able to tell the difference between the normal and hot chili by smell alone.

Serve with fresh chopped cilantro, raw, diced onions. sliced cheddar cheese, and sour cream.

Okay so I have this recipe I am trying to nail down. It has a constant base flavor that I am currently addicted to. But I have been experimenting with other components. It's a fun dish with hot and sweet sausages, chicken breast, the largest shrimp I can find, garlic, red & green pepper, onion, baby bella mushrooms served over pasta with olive oil, balsam, and Parmesan. So my question is, besides the seasoning and herbs, would you do a sauce or no??

Thinly sliced garlic barely browned in the olive oil, add equal amount of cooking water, should be all you need

Running a debugger on your own machine to see what something is doing is not in any way illegal. Which is what I'm guessing he's doing as opposed to decompiling poo poo. Not due to any legal concerns, but it's just easier.

I already called it. MyRadar is smart. They want to be installed on Star Citizens' phones. Why you ask? Well, so that MyRadar can gather user data from the most gullible and loyal market segment in the history of earth.

Never forget: The currency of our tech economy is not dollars. It's user data.

Sharik posted:

MyRadar is paying, guarantee it. The way it works in mobile advertising is that you pay for "user acquisition." User acquisition means the Advertiser (MyRadar) pays to be installed on the phone of the User (the Star Citizen), who is "owned" by the Publisher (CIG).

So who is the target user? The Star Citizen. CIG owns the users, MyRadar wants access to them, so MyRadar pays. Now MyRadar's app can show in-app advertisements for other products and apps who want to acquire users just like MyRadar did. Because the Star Citizen market segment is so specific and predictable, it's highly targetable. So MyRadar now becomes the Publisher selling the Users they now "own" to other Advertisers.

This flow of users, and the money paid to "acquire" them, is the reason we have a functioning economy.

My favorite part is not that the server crashes just as he's arriving at the place he wanted to go, in the ship he wanted to be in (which probably took an hour), and instantly got a criminal record due to CIG's buggy bullshit "criminal" system. No. My favorite part is that he muses to his subs "hey, I wonder when I reconnect if I'll be at the same place in my ship because of persistence. Also, I'll probably still have my criminal record, due to persistence."

Did he spawn in to his last position? No.
Did he spawn in the ship he was last in? No.
Did he wake up back in his Port Olisar wank-pod? Yes.
Did he have a criminal record? No.

There's no persistence man. This game's never coming out.

For the record, persistence is one of the trickiest things to get right, especially on the programming side. You have to account for every edge case. It can't have any bugs, because persistence bugs are what make people ragequit/uninstall/refund games. It means losing progress, and even the Stariest of Citizens will rightly lose their poo poo if persistence isn't near-perfect.

I really really wish they got persistence. Imagine all these people stranded on planets because they parked their ship in a way they can't reach the ladder anymore. They'd log off, log back in, and still be stranded on the same planet, desperately calling for help in chat. And nobody would come, because the game is too unstable.
