At least this most recent tech bro explosion is hilarious to watch. Crypto was just people putting blockchains in things that didn’t make sense, that was boring.
They convinced Google to replace a best-in-class search engine with an AI that makes shit up or regurgitates Reddit shitposts. Amazing.
This was how I learned my SO’s dead name - i avoided it for like 9 months then she had to venmo me for something. 😭
Oh well, mission accomplished by waiting as long as possible to learn it; I’ve only known her by her proper name for so long that her dead name is meaningless to me. 🙌
Post baby Bible photos on bookface and pretend your life is better than it is. Fight with your Bible spouse in public but in hushed tones. File for Bible divorce but learn you can neither marry, nor divorce a book so you were never really married to begin with. It was just a weird ceremony you held alone in your basement surrounded by stuffed animals. 🧸
People in the United States are more reliant than ever on using the internet for all aspects of their lives. But one in six US households may lose internet access by June when current federal funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) ends....
I worked for a cable company and I have to say - they’re absolutely terrified of being classified as a utility. And that needs to happen about 10 years ago.
Yeah my experience is similar to other replies - no nonstick will last you for ever.
If you want a BIFL pan, a real high quality stainless steel one from a restaurant supply store will be your ticket IMHO. You’ll be able to use metal utensils in it and not ding the coating, and you can use real steel wool and brillo pads in it and not hurt it. I tried for years to baby various nonstick brands but they always got fucked up one way or another. Even ceramic coated eventually chipped and scratched until it wasn’t very nonstick anymore.
It won’t be as nonstick as a coated pan, but it will truly last you forever; they’re made for kitchen staff which means they’re built to get the shit kicked out of them regularly. It does mean more scrubbing but it also means not buying pans every year or two, so 🤷♂️
Edit: Oh I just remembered my favorite trick for removing caked on grease and whatnot - fill the pan with water (and a tiny bit of dish soap if it’s really bad) then put it on high heat and boil it.
Not to stray too close to giving denialists ammo, but wasn’t putin’s war a massive disaster for crops? Ukraine being bombed to a bloody pulp is likely at least partially to blame for these numbers I assume
I currently have an iPhone 13 Pro and want to buy a bicycle after moving to a new city. Do you recommend a phone holder for my bike or Apple Watch for navigation purposes? I don’t own a watch yet but I can see how it would make sense on a bicycle. I just don’t know which solution is best. I probably would have to bring my...
Highly recommend one of the aluminum ones that have a screw and thumb wheel to tighten - the only ones that I’ve found to hold up to being bounced around

I love pointing this out to folks who think produce is 100% natural and that GMOs are the devil. Like bruh do you think strawberries evolved to be giant sweet and awesome tasting on their own?
Wild strawberries are tiny and sour because it doesn’t make any sense for a wild plant to put so much energy into growing ginormous berries.
Just cuz we don’t know what genes were selected for by breeding the plants with giant fruit together to make plants any less modified by us. They would never survive without us, we’ve modified them too much.
That said, the shit where they’re inserting whole sequences of dna from other plants and animals is a bit sketchy.

Just a word of warning on this - I’ve had CLR ruin countertops and sinks by accidentally leaving it in contact with them for a long time, make sure you’re diligent about wiping up rings from containers and any drips - learn from my expensive mistakes!
Also test it in a hidden spot first to make sure it doesn’t dull the finish or something.
Edit: IMHO give the vinegar suggestion a go first, much less caustic
