You used too much heat. I try to be careful but occasionally fuck up the same way.

Here’s why it’s bullshit: it still has Teflon (or whatever). You still can’t use metal utensils, because goodbye nonstick layer. You still can’t get it searingly hot. The uneven surface could make cleaning more complicated. Any Teflon-like nonstick will accumulate wear and tear and thermal expansion stress until it cracks, peels or stops being nonstick, all of which are good reasons to throw it away for ergonomic and (probably) health reasons. Being surrounded by stainless or whatever is going to change none of that.

I would suggest just getting one of each “major kind of pan” - nonstick and either cast iron or stainless will let you do most things. Getting all three doesn’t need to break the bank either. Then you can save the nonstick for the stuff that really needs it, give everything else the heat and surface it deserves.

Serious question? The principle is called “opportunity cost”. Chilling out and touching grass is free - but you could also have spent that time working, producing stuff, learning or whatever. You have “lost out” on a potential benefit due to exactly how that time was spent.

The pro Russia part does.

Roger Waters put a damper on my enjoyment of Pink Floyd.

Yeah no, it’s all right, you guys - it’s a synthespian.

Wow, imagine calling out a fucker like that, how dare you.

There are some beautiful argument chains.

Doubt.

Hated every kind, had some actually great ones in Greece, now I can sorta kinda get behind black olives. Greens are still a bit too bitter for my preference.

“site” does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.

I’d consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the “quotes for verbatim results”, which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.

To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.

Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.

What the fuck

No, I just try to. My blocklist is like forty miles at this point

Edit: always entertaining to read rationalizations of “exposing myself to the constant depressing drudgery of political news coverage is like a moral imperative or some shit” btw

Great, even getting this spam on like page 3 now.

This place is noticeably more anticorporate - which makes sense because corporations tend to be dicks - and leftist. Enshittification is a fairly apt term for what goes on.

“The American dream” was socioeconomic mobility, that shit is for commies these days.

That is just every country, countries would hardly try to look worse than they are.

Scientists and other rationalists. If you wanted to be dramatic, their fight to save ourselves and the planet would be against the inertia of “common wisdom”, known bugs in human psychology, the resistance of wanting to disregard the unknown or unpleasant, everyone for whom the truth (to the best of our knowledge) is economically inconvenient with the considerable economic and societal power they wield.

They are not good odds, but it is correct against incorrect and often against malignantly incorrect, and they are all extremely formidable villains.

Reclassify meaning “still protected, we just don’t consider it the literal antichrist anymore”

Pretty underwhelming but I guess it’s better than nothing.
