What type of CAD work are you doing?

I'm too old to learn 3D stuff so I'm staying in the 2D world. I design and manufacture large personal marine domiciles.

Thinking about getting a Blackstone grill. Anyone have experience with it?

I recently bought the camp chef griddle. So far I love it. Have done smash burgers and tacos. I want to try out some fried rice on it soon. We are doing a family breakfast in the morning and will do everything on it.

The camp chef can also be a grill but I don't have any use for that. My Napoleon and Primo is what I grill everything on.

Banks, I beleive.

Thanks. I thought that’s who it was. It’s not much to go on, but you can tell that he never quit. I think we might just be good at LB.

DeAngelo Gibbs has NOT been in any practice video - that I can find...Anyone know or can they ask Brent and Austin to get some details. TIA

Could be in quarantine as we have a few. I would think some would be WRs If Bailey is quarantined.

Off topic. Henry T looks fantastic in photos and videos. Lost the baby fat. I think he has a monster yr. I like to see Crouch trimmed down as well so interested to see if he is more flexible side to side now. Banks looks like he could be a beast.

It doesn’t matter which bathroom I sneak off to use for #2. Magically the kid, the dogs, and the wife all congregate outside the door making enough noise to sound like a battle royale.

FYI younger guys, if you want to poop in peace don’t get married or have kids.

Uh, if you're the mom the kids (until age 4), dogs, and cats insist on being inside with you. Moms have parties to celebrate when they can go potty alone.

He had a very quick drop. Which is definitely good for playing coverage. He just needed to work on blowing up the gap he commits to last year “granted he only played in like 2 games” so he would of probably improved on that if he played a whole season.

Is he in quarantine because he had been practicing with Bailey....

We Just bought a Lenovo Chrome Book last month. Its fantastic.

CoJC laptops were all down, Lenovo Chromebook chugged over fiber internet.

That’s where my head was at, too. Again, not much to go on, but he did seem to excel in coverage, which is something we haven’t had from our LB’s in a while. Maybe we will see him at least on passing downs.

I ended up buying a cheap Lenovo for m staples yesterday. $299. It will do what it's tasked to do. I was surprised that it had a 1 TB hard drive. It will run some diagnostic software.

My Dell wasn't a cheap Dell. It was a very large touch screen that I ran a CAD on and it has performed well for I'm guessing 8 years. I'll have to replace it soon so I can do my CAD work away from the office. I'm going to have someone look at it for me to make sure it's not something that can be repaired easily.

I'm glad you've had better luck with your Dell computers than I have. I don't know much about CAD systems/software, but sounds like a tablet-type of laptop would be great for you if you wanted to do some CAD drawing while out in the field. Definitely look at the Surface Pro's. You can get older models now for much cheaper than the newer ones which are WAY overpriced.

As for your laptop, is it an HDD? If it ever gets slow or performs more slowly than you want you can always change out the HDD to an SSD (if you know why you are doing). Trust me, that is a HUGE upgrade.

Yea I'm familiar with SSDs. Getti g ready to change my HDD to an SAD on my desk top. The one regret I had with my old Dell was the touch screen. Too cumbersome to use for cad. Cad systems are very math inte dive so processing power and graphics are the most important factors.

The only way I make burgers now is the “smash” method. It’s crazy but it works.

Get about 1/4 - 1/2 pound of meat, ball it up, put it on a 500 degree or above cast iron skillet and smash it down to a patty and hold it for 10 seconds. Leet it cook for 2 minutes, flip it and do the same on the other. YOu will think you are smashing the juice out of it but you don’t. The “bark” keeps the juice inside of the burger. Really good !!

Edit....there are tools you can buy to preform the “smash”. I got mine at Home Depot frill department.

Interesting. I just kept seeing "smash burgers" at hipster restaurants and figured they just made it up, like smashed avocado toast. So...you smushed avocado over a piece of bread? That'll be $12.

Mother of God please don't let that idiot be associated with Tennessee in any shape or form.

Really? I think he's a masterful and entertaining troll. He really hits the UGA fanbase on the noggin.

Gotta give it to Apple, though. They performed probably the best cult-making business move ever. Their products are way overpriced yet people buy them for the connectivity all of their products have with each other. And that's the only reason why people buy Apple anymore outside of the "top tier" status the brand now has.

They make fantastic windows machines without needing VMs for dual-booting, and it doesn't work nearly as well the other way around. They are made with aluminum, so when I do accidentally drop it, it's more likely to survive. If I want anything to do with graphic design, Apple is heads and tails better. There's a ton of reasons apple laptops are the better tool, but price and gaming are probably the only ones that aren't, and I still was running elder scrolls with an Xbox 1 controller on one 3 years ago.

I agree. I never saw the OLB side of him that they tried last season. It may be there but it would take work. I did see the ILB/Mike side of him I liked a lot. If they can get him trimmed down and flexible as you state, he could step into several positions as needed, especially if Banks balls out.

Trick with fried rice is to make it the night before and let it sit uncovered in the fridge overnight to dehydrate. The consistency will be infinitely better when you put it on the griddle

Never knew he had it in him

How do you cook them? I’ve tried direct on both side and reverse sear. Can never get just juicy burgers. What temp?

The only way to get a juicy burger on a grill is to get the grill really hot before you start cooking. Never mash the burgers once you put them on the grill as this will allow the juice to escape. Let the burger cook for a few minutes before you flip them and don't just flip them a bunch of times. If you want to learn how long to keep them on, put about 4 burgers on at the same time and take them off at different times and cut them in half. Gotta keep track of each time though and when you find the right burger, cook it that same way all the time. Good luck.

You might benefit from using an AMD processor since those are better for workstations than Intel processors. Their multithreading capabilities are better and they cost less. If this means anything, those who game while doing twitch, mixer, etc. use AMD processors for that reason. Just a thought.

Dont forget to pull the Dell outta the freezer

That is great advice! I never would of thought to do that. Thank you

^This. Also use a medium-grain rice, as it is moister and plumper and will stick together better than a long-grain rice.
