    I'll be avoiding that thread. I'm enjoying these lately with various tube amps and don't need a measurements buzz kill. Someone @ me when its safe to get back in the water...

    I never gave much thought to the WHO before covid. Just assumed they were one of those organisations doing good work in the world. Now unsure. Are they? Or are they politicised toadies? Are they really in China's pocket?
    
    Maybe the answer is yes, yes. And yes. :/

    Who cares? They wear expensive suits and they like power. Some rulers blamed sparrows. Some princes put enemies on poles. Some kings liked the Spanish Inquisition. Mock them until they cry or take advantage. Until then survive...

    Looking forward to hearing how the WiFi features work out for you. My biggest hesitation would be the reliability of the built-in thermometers. I have a Pit Boss, which is why I use ThermoWorks.

    I turn my espresso machine on/off with my phone (via Kasa plug), so I guess a Wi-Fi enabled grill isn't that much different.

    We are good with DCS, based on lots of different grilles over the years. What I know: they will get insanely hot, but are very controllable and even, they have a rotisserie that works very well and you can even do picanha on it if you are lazy. However, budget is high.

    I fully admit I went and bought a share in GME a while back with the mindset of "Hey, I haven't been to a casino in the last 3 years". I feel bad for anyone who bought in on hype alone - methinks they didn't understand the history of the 'Bets' part of WallStreetBets enough.

Ears validate the measurements, not the other way. Well, sometimes the measurements keep us honest.
