Bullshit. Batteries are no less reliable than they have been for the past two decades. The problem is corrosion and a bad connection. There's enough juice, it's just not getting through. Scrape that poo poo off and make sure the terminals are tight on the posts.

Edit: Get a tool like this. Shove it on the post and twist until it's clean. Remove the cap and use the brush inside to clean the inside of the terminal.

Also get some battery terminal grease.

I think I nailed the red beans and rice this time. Though I think I'm going to stick to plain white rice instead of brown, remove the carrots, and get some fukken hot sauce!

My red beans and rice starts with the holy trinity, put in the red beans, add some home-blended chili powder, toss in some sausage, stir with white rice and then add hot sauce to taste.

I make the rice separately.

I get the beans in water in the cooker, on high, for something like 10 hours. To that I add a handful of spices like marjoram, bay leaves, pepper, and a block of chicken flavor. I don't add the sausage until about 2 hours before it's done. I've found that putting the sauasge in with the beans causes them to burst and split.

I want to try your way this week. Gonna buy some Julio's special homemade spice. poo poo is full of MSG so it must be delicious.

My way takes about 20 minutes because I sautee the vegetables and stir in the beans, spices, and sausage while the rice is cooking. Once the rice is done, I dump one pot into the other, stir, sauce, and serve.

TBeats posted:

semantics. halo cars are generally exotic.

My understanding:
Halo cars are made by mass market car makers and priced above their standard lineup. e.g. Audi R8.
Exotics are by low volume manufacturers that don't have a mass market lineup. e.g. anything by Koenigsegg.
Supercars can be in either category depending on who makes them, so the Ford GT would be a halo supercar for Ford, whereas the Enzo Ferrari would be an exotic supercar.

The difference being that a halo car is supposed to attract average people to the brand, enticing them to buy a regular sedan which they can afford while dreaming of the halo which they can't.

That's generally the perspective I take when I go to concerts. It's the reason I saw the Police at bonnaroo a decade ago, and John Paul Jones. I might not always like all of what I hear, but I might not have the chance again. Not sure at this point who I caught before they died, besides Whitney Houston. There's almost certainly more. Gordon Lightfoot is still alive, if he ever plays around Denver I'm getting tickets.

Never saw Chuck Berry though.

Popped mine out in the last game of my rugby season last year during a tackle. Not fun.

The first time I did it was rugby, the second time was boxing.

Both times I did go to the ER. Had significant surgery after the second time, but I still was a dumbass and never went to physical therapy for it so I have a permanently weakened right shoulder. It's not going to dislocate any more but I'll never be strong there.
