The point of a crockpot is that you set it before heading to work and come home to dinner, at least I was in the house this way.
I know that. I cook. A lot. Hence my paranoia about fire safety. I fully acknowledge and agree that a crockpot can be left on for hours on end, and that it probably****strong text will be okay. I just wouldn't do it myself, nor recommend others do it. Your insurance company probably agrees with me. =P
Crockpot pulled pork. Drippings are hard to come by unless I did a vinegar based one (as I did apple cider vinegar when cooking).
The drippings should still be in there. Maybe you don't get many from pork loin? Pork shoulder would leave a nice, fatty, collagen-laden sauce mixed with whatever spices and liquid you had in there. Dump those into a normal pan, boiled until it reduces a bit-- add a roux if you're short on time. Yum.

Status: One of our clients (a major producer of fudge, fudge mixes and fudge based products) just sent us 18 pounds of fudge. The office is happy and extremely high on sugar.
Sidenote: Want some fudge? We have an opening for a PM that needs to be filled.

I'm triggered. You guys are talking about all kinds of delicious food but I just had jaw surgery and am on a soft-food (nearly liquid at the moment) diet for the next couple months, at least.

Anyway, the guy responsible appears to have a fetish for TTs and nested classes.

That would definitely give me diabetes. I find it very hard to be a moderate fudge consumer…

Teeny little pieces of fudge that you can just let slowly dissolve in your mouth?
-
Fudge is okay, as long as it isn't crunchy or hard, in which case I wouldn't want to eat it anyway.
The pulled pork is what got my stomach going, but meat is generally too much work to chew right now, and even if I ate it anyway I'd get an earful because I'd be risking a jaw fracture for it.

Status: Been fixing stuff for some friends that I'd let slip by accident. They'd been blocked by my lack of activity for a couple of months and were too polite to poke me hard. (They were unfortunate; the original message hit me in the middle of an email blizzard.)
I hope they'll forgive me.

It's not addiction if I can leave the packet closed.

Cons: There is also @Lorne_Kates and it is in Canada.
No amount of fudge is worth that...

And just to @mott555 even more, that particular burger is made of 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon. And yes, it is so worth shaving time off of your life for.

They wanted me to publish something officially so that they could base some work off of it.

I had a burger like that once, it actually wasn't very good. The bacon tasted like fake bacon bits which I hate even in small amounts, more so when there's a quarter-pound of it in one slab.

I don't like fudge that much.

Slater's burgers are not like that. When I saw your post, I thought, "What is the best food I have ever eaten?" and that is what came to mind.
In all seriousness though, I wish you a speedy recovery.
-
Your lines have too much dirty noise. Someone find the water seeping into it and you should be fine.

Slater's burgers are not like that.
The main problem I saw with them appears to be how to pick them up and get them into one's mouth for a glorious bite.

You manage, trust me on this. Once you smell a burger that is 50% ground bacon and has been cooked over charcoal, your suddenly have jaws like a goddamned python.
-
America definitely does the world's best burgers. Some of the other claims made to “world's best …” might be a bit disputable, but with burgers it's just a standard fact.

you
rsuddenly have jaws like a goddamned python.Does that mean you come unhinged?

I once ate at a place in Denver called Crave. They had a burger that used glazed donuts for the bun!
I seem to have misplaced the picture I took, and their website makes Discourse look like a glorious shining jewel of well-defined software of excellent implementation, so I sadly don't have any images to share.

Slater's burgers
Sadly, they exist only in Southern California. If I were to get one job that I applied for, I would be working rather close to one of them, possibly within walking distance. Unfortunately, that was the phone interview that did not go well.

Denver called Crave
Crave :: Savory.Sips.Sweets?
Or maybe Crave Real Burgers?

It must be the second place. The first one was the online menu that functioned (at least on my system) like it was developed by a toddler banging on a keyboard with FrontPage running.

I always liked the ones in NZ, to be fair. They add whole fried eggs and pineapple rings and beets and such.

That's like Discourse on mobile — different.

Yeah. Fuck that guy.
-
of how much @Lorne_Kates and canada are we talking about?
90% canada. The job requires some travel, and most of our clients are in the US (and some in the UK).
I'd say about 33% @Lorne_Kates. There's other PMs, so you won't be on all projects. But I am head of support, so you'd eventually transition your projects to me.

If the pulled pork had been done PROPERLY-- using pork shoulder, and in a nice sauce-- it'd be as soft as silk. It could have just flowed into your mouth like a cloud of meaty effervescence float down from Valhalla.
Or pork loin. Whatever.

It's right there. That is a fucking egg, with yolk oozing down the outside. It is right there in the picture.

Status: Currently remoting in to work to seemingly do nothing due to the fact that the problem is nothing I can solve.
Specifically, one of our services started throwing errors because the DB server it talks to suddenly is gone. Since it is unscheduled downtime, our PM sends an email that makes him sound like Chicken Little, especially after this morning, which involved him asking for a status update only a few hours after the start of the day, with no regard to the fact that I had other things to review/answer for other clients and that I had to look over the list of things to change because he sent it to me over the weekend.
Aside: If there's one specific thing about my job that makes me want to just walk out, it's that PM, most specifically how he tries to manage things, and the implication from my boss that it's seemingly the same with his personal life, but I've talked about that before.
