Reply to Best bar to visit solo? by boxyfox123

Any bar.

Walk in, take a seat, order a vodka soda, walk out. You don’t have to talk to or look at anyone. You can just stare at the wall behind the bar with deadness in your eyes like the rest of us.

Reply to comment by TheWrongFusebox in My crispiest pork belly ever! [homemade] by SliceFactor

It’s roasted for a while. Personally:

Score your pork belly 2 directions to make diamonds. looks like OP did just horizontal for some reason (looks like OP was going for only crispy skin). Season generously and rub it in.

Slice a fennel bulb and lay across the bottom of a roasting pan. Add bay leaf, cardamom pods, star anise, fennel seed and olive oil.

Roasting pan on a hot burner to make it aromatic. Once it starts to smell good, make a well in the middle of the pan and lay the belly down fat side down. Fry until golden brown.

Flip the belly over, season (salt, pepper, fennel), and deglaze the pan with dry white wine (don’t get any liquid on the pork). Boil. Add chicken stock to halfway up the pork belly. Boil again.

Transfer to 350f oven for 2:30-2:45.

Then pull the pork to rest, siphon the excess oil, pan back on the burner, add some whole grain or dijon mustard and whisk together. Strain out the pods, Star anise and bay leaf.

I’ve made it a couple times and it’s delicious. Comes from one of Gordon Ramsay’s 10 minute hearty dinner Facebook/YouTube videos.

The first chapter of Two Towers they figure out the riddle immediately after Viking funeraling Boromir.

Only frodo would have taken the boat, only Sam woulda taken his pack.

“Our choice then,” said Gimli,“is either to take the remaining boat and follow Frodo, or else to follow the Orcs on foot. There is little hope either way. We have already lost precious hours.”

They follow Merry and Pippen knowing it’s not frodo and that frodo and Sammie are all alone.

Watching a bad team from floor seats would be better than a good team from the balcony, IMO. If the tickets are similarly priced, get the better seat over the better game.

Reply to comment by WonderChopstix in Some helpful tips on shopping for a new electric supplier by NoBarracuda2508

It’s a commodity that spikes with global demand. Much of the North East uses oil for heat, but that’s fairly unique. Electric rates are tied to NG commodity pricing because more than a quarter of the US’s power generation is has based.

NG is 34% of Europe’s power generation as well. And New England is fairly tied into the European NG market due to reduced pipeline capacity and the Jones act.

NG essentially always spikes through winter and comes back down in spring. It’s just not usually this severe.

Globally not as many markets are as air conditioned as the US, so even if AC is more demanding, the demand isn’t equal across the northern hemisphere.

Reply to Hunting rifle laws in CT and disposition when someone passes by [deleted]

Call a shop like Newington Gun Exchange and ask about their consignment policy and how to handle them (without permits).

You can likely transport them to a gun store (locked case in the trunk) , or if they’re close they might come pick them up. Assuming they’re worth it.

If they’re in good condition you can probably get them appraised and sell them to a store.
