You weren’t wrong. You just were early.
IMO, people are a lot stupider and act with a lot less knowledge of the obvious outcomes of their actions than we give them credit for, and the possibility of non-obvious outcomes is often completely missing from their worldview.
Looks like something from a dystopic video game. We really have gone deep down the dark, sinister path in America.

Dude you’re in here rage posting about platform moderation in support of some loser kid who ran over two girls. If anyone’s got pyschosis it’s you.
Why do phones have to be as slimmed down as a coke addicted supermodel from the 90s anyway?
I’d much prefer they shrink the fucking things enough that they fit in your pocket.

aesthelete@lemmy.worldto Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•Please someone explain how there could be a gov shutdown when republicans control the senate and the house? But are blaming the Dems who are way in the minority???English17·7 days agoSchiff even went so far as to add a Vader clip to describe current negotiation tactics.
It makes every bit of sense to reference vader in this current government. Even if you get an agreement with trump to fund the things you want to fund, the way he is operating right now he can just impound the funds anyway and send them off to wherever else he wants.
There’s no point in negotiating with this president or this congress when they let this president impound whatever he likes, fund whatever he likes, and then get a series of high fives and “no notes” decisions from the supreme court for doing so.
They have absolutely no incentive to negotiate when the deals are toilet paper, and no incentive to vote for continuing to fund a government that currently doesn’t fund itself according to its laws.
They should allow it to shut down until the constitutional order is restored (which may be never). The repubs can change the senate rules and nuke the last vestiges of the filibuster to reopen the government with a simple majority. Democrats should force them to do so.

That sounds about right. You start on higher heat, that opens up the pan’s “pores”, it absorbs the oil or butter in those “pores”. Then you hit it with some water and briefly wash the pan out so you don’t have to have burnt butter or smelted oil in there (it may not be necessary for oil that doesn’t taste nasty after smelling, so things other than olive oil and butter). Then you add another smaller coating for flavor, and lower the temp and cook like you would on Teflon.
On my induction hot plate, I start it at 5.0, put a largish pad of butter in, wait for it to brown a bit. Hit it with water and wash the butter out. Then turn the hot plate to 4.0 and put a smaller pad of butter in.
I just fried an egg like this today for my burger (bigger story I don’t usually eat crap like this) and it was nearly like Teflon. I could flip the egg without a spatula if I wanted.
A bit of a tangent, but for nonstick applications with stainless steel, you can add oil or butter, get it to smelting temperature, and then lightly wash it out (deglaze basically) and then add more oil or butter and cook at regular temperatures.
I use this method to make omelets and it’s nearly as nonstick as using a Teflon pan.

Dwight Schrute: I didn’t know that you were at a party on Saturday night.
Ryan Howard: I go to a lot of parties.
Dwight Schrute: Okay, I’m gonna need to search your car. Give me your keys.
Ryan Howard: I am not giving you my keys.
Dwight Schrute: Don’t make me do this the hard way.
Ryan Howard: What’s the hard way?
Dwight Schrute: I go down to the police station on my lunch break. I tell a police officer, I know several, what I suspect you may have in your car. He requests a hearing from a judge and obtains a search warrant. Once he has said warrant, he will drive over here, and make you give him the keys to your car and you will have to obey him.
Ryan Howard: Yeah, let’s do it that way.
This sounds very cool. I’m a programmer by profession but used to love drawing animations as a kid. I should try to make something like this.
