- Interesting! We actually did something similar in my collaborative storytelling several years ago as kind of a whodoneit. -- nm - Qale Jul 19, 19:03 1
  - so who did it? -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 19:06

  - (also I totally just sent this story to my mommy, so thanks.) -- nm - neighborhood drunks love mandy lane Jul 19, 18:33

- if only any of these kinds of stats had anything to do with actual FFB success -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 16:24 12
  - Wouldn't you need to have some FFB success before you can determine that? - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 19, 17:04 11
    - i've won leagues before. i've come in dead last. - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 17:13
    - FFB, compared to the crown jewel of fantasy sports (baseball), is overwhelmingly more dependant on luck. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 17:10 9
      - FF is skill; FB is grinding. -- nm - David Jul 19, 17:11 8
        
        The skill being "sitting with your laptop all day Sunday to add the guys instantly elevated from schlub to superstar after a concussion"? - TFox Jul 19, 17:20 2
        
        it's a poorly run league that doesn't use waiver priority for this kind of stuff. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 17:26 1
        
        Fair enough, although almost every league on earth defaults to something other than rolling waivers. - TFox Jul 19, 17:31
        
        yeah, I make it a month through FB and I'm bored out of my mind -- nm - GWAA Jul 19, 17:15 4

My mother says you bake chicken at 45 minutes to an hour on 350 and it's done. My meat thermometer is not so sure. - ty97 Jul 19, 16:13 22
- Not FDA, USDA! they're the ones in charge of meat. FDA does everything else. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 18:39

  - My condolences to your mother. -- nm - psilotum Jul 19, 16:30
  - GO TO THE ER! -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 16:29 5
    - fwiw, this is always how my parent's cooked it. cut it in half, make sure there is no pink - ty97 Jul 19, 16:29 3
      - that's how we do it too. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 16:33 2
        
        I was concerned when the meat thermometer said 135, but then I put it in other thick part and it claimed 190. elsewhere 180. it's schizo. -- nm - ty97 Jul 19, 16:34 1
        
        it's possible the temperature is diffferent in those spots, right? -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 18:40
    - OPEN THE BOX! -- nm - mara Jul 19, 16:29
- i'm going to be the contrary voice. it's probably fine. just serve it and take your chances -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 16:18
- So many variables. Original temperature, accuracy of oven thermostat, position in over....go by the meat thermometer. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 19, 16:17
- [deleted]
- Is it a whole chicken? Cut up? That makes a difference. If it's whole you need to cook it longer -- nm - Redmond Jul 19, 16:14 2
  - it's two breasts. - ty97 Jul 19, 16:15 1
    - I would cook those an hour if I was doing it. Just don't overcook or they will be dry. -- nm - Redmond Jul 19, 16:16
Truman you have email -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 16:13
