    don’t care what you like on your food but you and others here have a way of making someone who likes something different from your tastes sound like a moron.

     

    Sort of the way some people have a compulsive need to make derogatory comments about baseball,  or other professional sports, on almost every thread about them.

    I seldom use Tobasco.  I don’t even allow Frank’s in my house!

    I’ve discovered several other hot/pepper sauces that are far and away more flavorful.

     

    Just hot without flavor is pointless unless you’re going for some manly man image and I don’t need that.

     

    That's exactly how I think of Frank's.  Just hot.

    keep a small bottle of Tobasco on hand for occasional addition to a soup or chili that I feel like needs that particular flavor.

     

    If a soup or stew "needs something,  but I don't know what"  i add a couple of shakes of Tabasco. The liquid equivalent of a pinch. Kind of brightens it up and elevates the other flavors. 

     

    I also don't like Frank's because of their television commercials with the catch phrase,  "I put that s*** on everything."  Thereby equating their product to s***.

    They could have warned me that the final chutes were going to just flop around for a bit before opening. I think my heart stopped! 😏

     

    What got me was how long it was just the drogues. I  didn't have any trouble with how slowly the mains opened.

    You reckon the teacher was in on it?

     

    ...

     

    That just seemed a little rehearsed.

     

    What he said was great - don't get me wrong. But it seemed planned.

     

    No doubt about it.

    Something we rarely  think about

    Abstract

     

    Bolted joints are a critical component of machines and structures under cyclic loading. Bolt fatigue failure usually takes place in the first engaged thread for being the most loaded one. In this sense, a uniform thread load distribution improves its mechanical response and consequently the reliability of the joint. For this purpose, different thread pitch values can be used in the bolt and the nut, and there is an optimum value that leads to the most uniform load distribution for each particular joint configuration (geometry, preload level, materials and boundary conditions). Sopwith developed an analytical model to calculate this value, but no validation was carried out. This work presents a semianalytical model to estimate the load distribution for any differential thread spacing, which can also be used to calculate the optimum value. The results of this model are nearly coincident with Finite Element results and more accurate than those obtained from Sopwith mode

    Unless you have too much water in it and which case it is soup.

     

    Just bring it to a high simmer to reduce it and concentrate the flavor.

    Out in Texas, where as I understand they have decided that they know all there is to know about chili and nobody else knows anything, they have chili contests.

     

    And people enter vegetarian chili and beef chili and pork chili and rabbit chili and chicken chili and turkey chili and rattlesnake chili.

     

    And all of these are chili.

     

    But you put beans in it it's no longer chili.

     

    This appears to be another example of Texans don't know what they're talking about.

     

    If you want to get picky about it,  chili uses only peppers, fat, dried beef, and water. Period. No onions.  No tomatoes.  That's your original cowboy chili.

    Ketchup is one of my favorite condiments but my all time favorite is CATSUP!😋

     

    That's how I usually spell it, but I figured I'd go with the modern spelling. "Ketchup" didn't become the dominant spelling until the 1980s.

     

    Anyway...I get that people have different tastes, but any hint of catsup near any meat seems to really trigger some people and compel them to make negative comments about it. Which I don't understand. 

     

    I used to use it on Round Steak, but not any other steak or roast. I almost always use it on burgers, along with mustard.  It often goes on eggs. Never cared for it on pork. 

    Someone above mentioned using it on onion rings...which i think it odd, but understandable. I prefer either mustard or ranch dressing on onion rings. 

    For fried fish i mix catsup,  horseradish,  land some lemon juice. Can't stand tater sauce, but don't feel compelled to call it out every chance I get.

    Will someone please explain in simple terms WHY the hate people have for it?

     

    People who will rub 10 pounds of brown sugar into something, and then slather a sugar/vinegar glaze on it while smoking it complain about ketchup,  usually saying it's too sweet.
