DAE find it impossible to clean a moka pot properly?

I swear, no matter how hard I scrub, there's always coffee oil stuck in the grooves.

DAE have a smoker flare-up ruin a good batch of chicken?

I was smoking some chicken thighs for a backyard thing yesterday, everything seemed fine at first. Had my charcoal going and wood chunks added for that nice smoke flavor. Out of nowhere, grease dripped into the fire and caused a huge flare-up. The flames shot up and charred the skin on half the thighs before I could move them. Ended up with some pieces burnt and others undercooked, total mess. I felt pretty silly serving that to friends who were expecting juicy BBQ. Now I'm rethinking my grate placement or maybe adding a drip pan. What do you folks do to prevent grease fires in your smokers?

Trying to keep peace with a neighbor mad about dredge noise

True, they just want something to yell about. Earplugs would probably just give him a new complaint.

Serious question, on reading banned Cold War poetry

Plenty of banned Cold War propaganda was just lies.

Unpopular opinion: Stretching out shoeing schedules is doing more harm than good

Agree with the gist, but calling it all neglect is overkill. Some horses genuinely need less frequent trims based on their growth. Always best to follow your farrier's advice for your specific animal.

Had to bite my tongue when a guest suggested duct tape for my oak trim. Respect the craft, people.

Oh man, that makes me cringe. Had a client seriously ask if we could just use plywood for their built-ins to save cash, like it was the same thing. Some folks just don't see the difference.
