1·2 days agoThe first hazard to my pans is clunking around while at sea. This is mitigable by putting a cloth in the pan to protect it from other pans. My partner made a bag to hold our ceramic pan. But then the bag got nasty moldy, as porous things always do when sitting in a compartment on a boat. Then our silicone spatula wore out, like they invariably do; I’ve had the same stainless cooking utensils for going on 30 years. The ceramic pan was given away at our next port.
And ceramic pans still wear out with use, regardless of the level of care. They just last a bit longer than traditional non-silicon nonstick pans.
Carbon steel FTW. I have a hand-hammered carbon steel wok (as well as one carbon steel knife). I live on a sailboat which means salt air. These two pieces of carbon steel perform so well that I’m willing to accept their higher maintenance “costs” (cost, in the effort context).
Some people, like me, can’t possibly keep non-stick pans safe. I live on a sailboat, and the effort to keep non-stick pans (even ceramic) safe from damage is disproportionate to the advantages. Also, I am away from resupply for long periods of time. If my pan gets damaged, I can’t just hop down to the store to replace it.
Right there with ya; sometimes elbow grease is required. But for things like crispy, cheesy tteok, I want the crispy parts to stay on the food. Once the crust forms in the pan, no other food is going to crisp up.
I love how Teflon pans perform. However, some people, like me, can’t possibly keep non-stick pans safe.

If my pan gets damaged, I can’t just hop down to the store to replace it.
There are other cases, such as people who own birds. Overheating Teflon pans can result in PTFE toxicity in birds.

I love Innuendo Studio’s stuff. Such a bummer that he’s most likely quitting.
1·7 days agoWhat you propose is simple (as in simplistic), but far from easy. Content moderation at scale is extremely difficult, if not impossible. See “Masnick’s Impossibility Theorem.”
Also, deplatforming bigots is difficult and ineffective:
531·9 days agoHere’s an enormous life lesson that took me decades to learn: you cannot take responsibility for anyone else’s happiness. If she is truly a danger to herself, this is usually mandatory reporting territory depending on your local laws. Act accordingly.

No luck stat? Because we all tend to underestimate how much luck plays into everything.
Microwaves are the penultimate Norman Object (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Design_of_Everyday_Things). They could have a standardized UI (cue up obligatory XKCD “Standards”). Instead, every manufacturer does it differently and usually in obscure, unintuitive fashion, often differently from the same manufacturer. Do you enter the time or power setting first? Oh wait, pressing a number launches it straight into running. That part that looks like a door handle is not how one actually opens the door; press the door button first. So. Much. Hate.
I came in here for this. Thank you, kind stranger with distinguished cinematic taste.
