I'm going offshore fishing and helping the GF move out. What's everyone up to?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Rostered day off in Australia... 
Not much. Having some friends over for patio time a couple nights while refining my grilling skills. Had my Traeger over a year now and it’s time to completely master the brisket process. If that fails, have some racks of baby backs marinated in teriyaki for the ancient Weber.

Not suggesting you try, but here's my "4 Minutes Abs" for brisket
-Smoker @ 250 for 2 hours
-InstantPot High for 1 hour
-Smoker @ 275 for 2 hours
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Thanks, if I can’t get around the excess 150* stall time with the usual lower temps and a sooner / lower temp wrap, the high temp option may be up next …

My buddy had that same issue, that stall time like so many others. I've never cooked a brisket before, but got his feedback and told him - Hey, I'll do an experiment. Granted I've only done beef ribs before, which takes little effort. I like to find loopholes/shortcuts in life so I had to experiment with a 12 hour smoke.
