C'mon climate change do us at least one favour and make Spring nicer or something

When do we start getting the stable weather? Is it after Daylight Saving starts? I'm tired of the wind and random rain

Hate is probably too strong a word, but man do I intensely dislike David Seymour.

Him and his ilk were probably calling the Labour government a nanny state - they seem to really love regulation now though

Maybe Friday? People are generally more relaxed on a Friday than Monday is my thinking..

The Rambler looks great but I currently have a Weber kettle as well, which serves most of my grilling purposes. Mainly setup with a vortex to do chicken wings and other pieces. I have an Espeto Sul too, but it's a bit annoying to use on the kettle. No one makes a riser for it, so can't do lid on. I've thought about getting a cheap second hand Weber Go Anywhere so I can get a riser to use with the rotisserie. But then I'm also wanting a tabletop hibachi so we can do korean bbq or yakitori for the kids..

I like the concept of an offset (and I've watched a lot of videos on them lol), but I don't really have time for fire management and long cooks :( I love the idea of cooking over wood too, sometimes I'll do sausages or something on the little firepit. Maybe when the kids are grown up I can get an offset.

I wrapped in foil near the end, but had them hanging without the heat diffuser for too long I think. The meatier parts weren’t too bad, the thin parts were too dry though. I’m going to look for some meatier ones next time.

Honestly, that sounds pretty tasty, I’d definitely give that a try if I find some mutton!

Haha yes I actually figured out the same, I used my small battery workshop blower on low setting to force air into the inlet and it gets it going really quick. It has a flexible rubber nozzle so I can basically squeeze it into the inlet.

I don't think I've seen any mutton around, but I haven't really been looking. I'll have to keep an eye out.

Sadly I was too lazy to spritz my ribs yesterday and they ended up way too dry. They weren't the meatiest ribs either which didn't help, or I left it at too high a temp. I'll have to practice more!

I’ve been thinking about getting a drum smoker for awhile, but was expecting not to get one until next year sometime. I was kind of tossing up between this and a Pit Barrel Cooker, then the Bronco popped up on one of my saved sellers on Trademe and I had to jump on it.

Pretty happy with it so far!

Good idea with the scheduled posting. I gravitate to these kinds of threads, mainly as sometimes I don’t really have anything relevant to add to news or political posts.

I snagged an OKJ Bronco for a great price a couple of weeks ago as a damaged packaging product. Turned out it was pretty much perfect inside except for a couple of small scratches which I covered up with enamel paint very easily.

Managed to hang a lamb leg in there last weekend which turned out delicious. Might try to do some ribs in there if the weather is decent this Sunday.

Maybe time for an automod to make the thread? If that exists on Lemmy

 

On March 18, 2022, scientists at the Concordia research station in the east Antarctic recorded the largest spike in temperature ever recorded with the region experiencing a rise of 38.5C above its seasonal average.

Unfortunately, it's not an isolated event with an increasing number of meteorologic anomalies being reported on the continent in the past two years.

The sea level rise map that was linked is interesting, I propose Hamilton to be the new international airport since both Auckland and Wellington's will be underwater

 

I see it's based on the book by Hugh Howey, who also did the Silo series which I really enjoyed the TV adaptation of. I'm wondering if it's any good as I don't have a lot of time for starting too many TV shows at the moment.

 

Jokes about Hamilton aside, this kind of sucks.

As someone who lives here it's sad to see and I'll get to pay for it through rates rises too!

 

Really? Trying to capture the NIMBY vote?

 

I'm curious to know what others think of this.

I'm personally for keeping it as I see the benefit coming in a few years having many more EV's available in the second hand market. Currently it's pretty much dominated by mainly Nissan Leaf's at the lower end of the secondhand market.

I know of a few people as well who have bought EV/Hybrids recently that would not have even considered going for EV's or even hybrids without the rebate.
