  • Again: I've not seen anywhere where that's specifically linked.

    the timestamp I linked the forest video is him reading a screen grab from the instructor's response as to exactly why they got the grade they got. one reason was not addressing the article in an assignment that was to react to an article. Which- also as Forest had said elsewhere- is a fairly normal type of essay to write up for anything related to science.

    there's also a significant corpus of messaging board conversations with other students where the student was very offensive.

  • I personally suspect that if aliens actually did show up to earth, they wouldn't be content to remain in the shadows.

    Basically, the native life is the only thing that would be of interest. we (that is life,) are the only things that are actually unique to this particular system. If it's simple curiosity about things, they could study us from a distance, without ever revealing themselves to us (or the government.)

    Which leaves a few reasons for why they'd come here:

    • Genocidal freaks who have some biological or cultural imperative to kill everything that's not them.
    • Space Mormons coming to share their faith.
    • Space evangelicals. They're like Space Mormons, except turn into the first group when you politely decline.

    Either way... we'd know they'd be here.

  • I've not seen that specifically linked, but here's a video by Forest Valkai going over it. Including the the response from the instructor explaining exactly why she got a zero. (this link will start right before that section.)

  • Ok, honestly, is cast-iron really any better than a non-stick, stainless, copper (anything else?) pan?

    Jump

  • It doesn't take an hour to preheat cast iron

    FTA:

    To preheat over a burner: Set your cast iron skillet over medium heat, ideally on a burner that's roughly the same size or larger than the pan's base. If your burner is smaller than the pan, rotate the skillet a few times during preheating to help even out hot spots. Give it 3 to 5 minutes to come up to temperature. Then, and only then, add the oil and let it heat until it shimmers or just starts to smoke. If you're aiming for a specific temperature, use an infrared thermometer to read the surface directly. For gentler cooking tasks, such as sautéing onions or frying eggs, a surface temperature of around 400°F is usually sufficient. For high-heat jobs like searing a steak or pork chop, let the pan reach a temperature closer to 500°F.

    To preheat in the oven: When you need a ripping-hot skillet to put a proper sear on steaks or chops, I recommend using the oven, which can heat the pan evenly while also making it exceptionally hot. Place the empty cast iron skillet in a cold oven, then turn the oven to 500°F. Once it reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove the skillet using oven mitts or a thick kitchen towel (it will be blisteringly hot, so make sure that towel isn't even the slightest bit damp). ...

    (emphasis mine.) Ovens typically take 10-20 minutes to come up to temperature, and if for whatever reason your oven is already hot, it won't take longer than what your oven takes to preheat to to get up to temp.

    Either way, I typically start preheating as I'm prepping everything else.

    And yes, I know I have an even pan because I not-infrequently make omelettes in them.

  • “When properly preheated, the heat is very even” isn’t contradicted to that fact.

    Cast iron does indeed suck at heat distribution, which is one of the reasons it needs proper preheating.

    But once the pan is properly preheated, then that heat is quite even.

    Make sense?

  • Ok, honestly, is cast-iron really any better than a non-stick, stainless, copper (anything else?) pan?

    Jump

  • This is factually wrong from the jump

    …. What you're seeing as heat distribution is the consequence of having to preheat your pan for so long.

    So you’re saying that, properly preheated, the pan has very even heat?

    Gee why didn’t I … oh. That’s is what I’m saying.

    You’re right, if you don’t preheat, it’s uneven. But you put in the extra effort and it’s rather more even than nearly any kind of pan.
