Things you just don't get

I made a pasta salad yesterday that just ******* killed it. Some keys are:

Let pasta come to room temp prior to making the salad
Don't rinse the pasta
Add some vinegar to brighten it up
Lots of finely chopped veg

Why would you design seatbelts with explosive potential to begin with?

Hyundai recalls 239,000 cars for exploding seat belt parts

Korean automaker Hyundai is recalling 239,000 cars because the seat belt parts can explode and injure vehicle occupants

I like how after trying once they were like "Ah, *******, just put a cap over it so it's contained when they explode"

They've had them in military aircraft ejection systems since the 1950s. Just sayin' it's a pretty violent process

Always nice when military ejector technology makes it's way into commercial application

It would be a shame if next time you aspirated and we couldn't get any more of your hot takes.

So hot.

I didn't mean to turn this into a multipage discussion on coolers and upper midwestern dating habits...

But since that's where we are, I'm thinking I might go with one of these:

Outfitter 35 Quart Cooler

Named the "Ultimate High End Cooler" by Four Wheeler Magazine. Better ice retention then YETI head to head. Sized right for weekend getaways and rowdy game days when a cold beverage is a must. One-piece bombproof construction for a lifetime of use. Covered by Canyon's no-hassle, lifetime...

canyoncoolers.com

Unlike some brands, the 35 actually means 35 quart capacity (a yeti 35 is only 29qt, the 45 is only 37qt).

Dimensionally it ends up being a little bigger than the Yeti 35, but has almost as much space as the 45. Costs a little more than the RTIC 45, but is noticeably smaller.

Only con is that the lock holes (needed for bearproofing) are in kind of an awkward spot which really limits your options for locks (normal locks won't fit, but too long of a lock would allow a bear to get their hands inside).

Ended up getting a good deal on one of these Canyon coolers.

Haven't used it yet, but I think it will work well. Just need to find some locks that work with the stupid lock holes to keep the bears out...

I think the size/shape makes for a solid compromise.

If you find one that works, let’s send one to Fok to see about keeping @beargonefishing out …

I have an RTIC 45 cooler, and saw the Canyon coolers at the hardware store today. They look nice, but are about $80 more (at retail price -I got a substantial discount on the RTIC ($143 from their Black Friday sale in 2017)). The RTIC has served us very well for stuff that needs to be kept cold for 4-5 days. Our old Coleman works perfectly well for keeping beer and soda cold.
