Building My First PC -- Photography/Gaming
Thank you all, so far. Also, I forgot to mention that I already have a WD My Cloud - 1-3 TB, I forget, external HD. In terms of money allotment/priority, it sounds like graphics card, MB, CPU, power supply, memory, etc?

Building My First PC -- Photography/Gaming
I'm looking to build my first PC -- out of boredom really. My main purposes would be work, standard home use, mild photography editing (emerging hobby), and mild gaming (nostalgic hobby). I would say I have pretty good tech skills, but not from a building/programming standpoint. I did a simple search on pcpartpicker and found this build. https://pcpartpicker.com/b/kf9G3C Any feedback on it? Also, how do people go about picking up software? Do you just take it in the shorts and buy an outright Microsoft license? Since we're about to move I won't be buying the pieces yet, just doing the research and price tracking. I'm in DFW so I have a MicroCenter nearby

Dallas | Butcher Shops
Matador Meats in Plano was pretty good the couple of times I've been there. I'm up in Prosper so pretty far from most butchers. I heard Local Yokel in McKinney square was okay.

Wireless noise canceling earbuds?
I hate my Jabras. The sound and mic are great for calls, but they are the most uncomfortable fucking things ever. Just downright painful both to the ear canal and ear drums (upon insertion) and I've attempted multiple ear inserts.

Beans
I came across this thread in my search to find a borracho beans recipe. I then realized I dont know the difference between pinto beans as they're made in this thread, charro beans, and borracho beans. Can someone enlighten me?

The "Post a Picture You Took" thread
I'm getting my terminology mixed up. Would the best approach be to select the single point focus and then manually select the focus point every time?

Shit I've Cooked Lately
Went to Sprouts for a salmon filet to smoke. Since they had some great deals on seafood I went ahead and picked up some skrimps and scallops (wife doesnt eat shrimp). I present to you shrimp/scallop and grits, accompanied by smoked salmon.

The "Post a Picture You Took" thread
I'm having trouble w focusing on my Canon Rebel SL1 or maybe it's just that I can't figure it out. It always seems like it focuses on the opposite of what I want it to ( foliage when I'm taking pictures of people or some random object when I'm taking a landscape picture). Any tips?

Broken Bow, OK
Friday to Sunday. Well, she's pregnant -- which there's nothing wrong with but I usually avoid those categories on The 'Hub

Broken Bow, OK
We've got a trip here in 2 weeks with our 3 year old and my good buddy's, his wife, and 2 year old. Any kid-friendly (non-COVID) activities you'd recommend?

Re-season Cast Iron Pans
Long story short, I have to re-season 2 of my CI pans. I did each one of them 3x with grapeseed oil on the grill at 600 for 45 min to an hr. All times, the end product showed flakiness as seen in the picture. Does anyone know why this is happening? I really loved to cook on them so I hope I didn't screw them up royally during seasoning.
