Anyone on here using a Masterbilt electric smoker?
I’m on my 3rd controller in 3 years. The buttons to change the temp and cooking time have failed twice. I had one controller replaced under warranty. Bought another one yesterday.
I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong to cause the failures.

We always get there early. We skip the bar part though, and hope there is a Timmy's for caffeine

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

There’s no routine screening for pancreatic cancer, most cases aren’t operable, and the five year survival rate after diagnosis is around 13%. It’s a traumatic news.

But new personalized mRNA immunotherapy is showing encouraging results in Phase 1 clinical trials.

Keep funding science!

I loved my raised beds. Once I move the huge shed that came with the house, I'll have room for at least 3 more beds.
Hurray for fresh veggies.

It's far more than the wars. There are so many things that the gop and some Dems have allowed and encouraged, that should never have been allowed to happen.

Conservatives upset that a majority Liberal government wants to stop them from using committees to obstruct & grandstand, which was actually at one time published by the CPC as a handbook to harass the operations of the House of Commons (gift article). #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Her shallow answer to insufficient resources in public system risking lives of sickest patients “All we have to do is focus better” is DEMONSTRABLY failed mantra of LaG & Smith.

Offering those resources private sector pay option is going to dilute and de-focus MORE.

Relevant to today's hand-wringing about jet fuel costs:

I was trolling around looking for an update on Harbour Air's eBeaver project (electric conversion for their DHC-2 "Beaver" commercial/passenger fleet) and the latest I have found and most comprehensive on the state of development is here. […]

They can't deport us, so instead they want to lock us up for the generational trauma we're dealing with thanks to this country.

THEY TOOK DOWN THE INTERNET. THEY COULDN’T TAKE DOWN SHORTWAVE.

Iran’s internet was knocked to minimal connectivity.
60+ hours of near total blackout.
Government communications — gone.
State media — gone.
Public services — gone.

But on 7910 kHz — a signal kept transmitting.
Twice a day. Every day. Crossing every border. Through every cyberattack. Through every jammer Iran could deploy.

Shortwave didn’t flinch.

While world leaders scrambled and cyber warfare raged — ham radio operators and shortwave listeners were already tuned in. Already logging. Already analyzing. Ham operators worldwide detected and tracked a new Farsi numbers station within minutes — as it played out live on HF

We just needed an antenna.

This is not nostalgia. This is not a hobby. This is the most battle-tested communications technology in human history — and the Iran war just proved to the entire world that it still works when nothing else does.

HF radio crossed every border they tried to close.

Tune in yourself:
 7910 kHz — USB mode
 02:00 UTC & 18:00 UTC daily

"Oh, no" said the supermarkets, "we're definitely never going to implement surge pricing! Don't be silly!"

"It's just that you seem to be testing out the tech for it, and you've commissioned a report into how much profit it could generate" I reply.

"Oh, no" say the supermarkets, "don't be silly!"
