I’ve never understood this. It’s pretty easy to make some decent bread just by feel. I never measure, all you need is the right moisture to flour content.

But now after writing this maybe I just don’t have fear…

True love is knowing the exact line between playful annoying and rage-inducing annoying. It takes a while to dial in. I can tell you’ve found it.

Hey! Fuck you chemicalwonka! Your nuanced, slightly different opinion enrages me! We’re enemies now.

Or you can season the shit out of it. That will also smooth out the surface. Seasoning basically makes non-stick layers on your pan using burned oil.

Preferably outdoors wipe a thin film of cooking oil on the pan and heat it up till it smokes, leaves smokey for a bit, cool down and repeat.

It’d probably be smart to read real instructions somewhere else, but that’s the jist of it.

Is this the ceramic coated ones?

Trump helps Chinas foreign policy so much. Their goal for decades has been to spread soft power and influence. They’ve been very effective even before Trump. What China is able to provide now is stability. The chaos that Trump sows drives nations away from the USA sphere of influence into the Chinese sphere. All they have to do is not rock the boat, do what they say they’re going to do, and let the US do the advertising for them.

It’s very sad to see an authoritarian state be the bastian of hope for developing nations. It feels like the democratic experiment has failed and authoritarianism is taking control worldwide.

All that said, it certainly happens. I’ve seen pictures of beavers crushed by felled trees.

This individual got the joke.

What is the other meaning of undead?

That tiny smile made me smile!

It’s measures your compliance with the banking industry. No bearing on how well you treat others.

It also doesn’t subsidize actual gym users memberships though.

How much do map legends cost? I’ll gladly pitch in so we can get one for this post!

I agree with you, that would be a much more effective use of resources. It’s a fantasy though, and it’s way more fun for me to daydream about design than manipulating public policy.

All that said it’s not a fruitless endeavor to think about how you would build something from scratch even if you can’t. It is a good way to hash out ideas without getting bogged down by the resistance to change.

I was thinking about this the other day. If I had half a trillion dollars (like the guy who just bought the presidency) I would spend it building a city from scratch. A walkable/bikeable city with free public transportation. I don’t have enough expertise to speak about affordable housing ideas, but with that amount of money I can pay someone to come up with some good regulations. Don’t know why but that’d be my passion project.

You can’t fail him if you try!

Being brain dead doesn’t seem to be an hindrance.

Ever heard of plastic explosives?

I don’t think value to society weighs into the equation, just the ratio of salary to ownership wealth gain.

There are bad people in the working class that are a net detriment to society, just as there are good people in the owning class that are a net benefit. Those good and bad deeds don’t change how they accrue wealth and therefore don’t change their class.

This working class isn’t a morality judgement, it’s a wealth ratio per individual.
