OT: Things we find freaking neat but no place to post

I smoked a pork butt today and pulled it for sandwiches. Nearly 12 hours of smoking over pecan wood, and an hour of prep beforehand. I woke up at six to do it. It was work the effort and the early rising. Perhaps the best food I've ever made.

I've had something similar - incredibly delicious.

In Detail: The New Passat ? Generation 8, Technology Preview - VWVortex

Definitive proof that VW is monitoring everything I say. They should call this the VW "forty_three".

Diesel / Electric Hybrid
Plug in Electric mode
Standard AWD
7 Speed gearbox
Much better styling

My aunt, bless her soul, is retired and in her early 60's. She's single, never wed, no kin...just pets. AND OH MY GOSH DO I WANT TO UNFRIEND HER. She posts at *least* 10 times a day...and it's half of my facebook feed. I know facebook tailors your feed, because I have around 400 friends, and I know not all their stuff comes up in it...but every SINGLE one of her posts does. And it's this stuff (and cute animal stories...endless animal stories). And it encourages my other relatives to do the same. So, I'll be sitting in the living room with my parents, each on their own device, and they're commenting on which, I dunno, saint they're silly quiz said they were. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

that storm just rolled through here. It was crazy enough without having the spaceships from Independence Day behind it.

This is the only picture I have seen, but there are quite a few indicators that point towards this evening going poorly.

Well, duh. Especially since you have to wash it inside out. Without that requirement, child removal is optional.

I listened to a Joe Rogan podcast with this guy Gad Saad. Here is a link to his work. Some really interesting points of view here. Pertaining to humans and our consumption mindset.
