Its usually very easy to clean stainless steel. The crusty stuff falls right off with a good sponge or brush. Cast iron pans take a bit more work, but they’re study enough to stand up to a tough bristle-brush without scraping.

Its those cheapo “no-stick” pans that break down as you use them and make everything impossible to get off.

It’s a shame we never invented a Space-Time machine

The 90s Are Alive Again

If voting isn’t enough (I didn’t think it is) then do more. Go knock on doors for the candidate that you like. There are a million ways to participate in democracy.

Love to door knock for Heinrich Himmler.

These “both choices bad. Better to not vote” people really don’t make any kind of sense to me.

Hey, listen. I vote every year. This year, 90% of my ballot is going to be blank, because so many of the candidates are absolutely abhorrent. But when I am presented with the Himmler / Hitler choice, I will be firmly bubbling in © None of the Above. I might even knock a few doors and tell my neighbors about how great © None of the Above would be. If I could figure out where to send my money, I could even see myself donating.

Image being unhealthy and saying “it’s going to take more than a 20 minute walk once a week to get in shape. Better not even do that then cuz what would be the point?”

Its funny, because I’m picturing you trying to recover from a broken leg with that mentality.

Had the opportunity to throw some time at the FF7 Rebirth on my friend’s PS5. I’ll have to wait until June before I can expect to see it on PC, but its been a lot of fun to date. Eager to see more of it.

Meanwhile, Unicorn Overlord on the Switch has been a great travel game.

Diploma mills gonna mill diplomas

Seems like it’s the only way anyone knows how to make money anymore

War is always just the prelude to diplomacy. Gotta wonder how many more people will die before talking starts.

Republicans. Would. Be. Worse.

We will be more like China

We won’t be like China. We’ll be more insulated and divorced from Chinese media, culture, and conversation.

That’s the stated end goal. Bringing up sharp walls between nationalities in order to control the flow of information between people.

If we keep TikTok open, we risk exposing American young people to Chinese norms, ideals, and social standards. We might even be exposed directly to Chinese mass media (ie, propaganda).

This is a real security risk, as it raises a possibility that younger Americans won’t accept American mass media at face value.

Nintendo gets to do this (the Yuzu shit) because so many other developers have stopped making anything except slot machines.

Behold, the unlimited power of a fully nationalized war time economy.

No Poor Muslims Allowed

Me: “Mom, can we have New Star Trek?”

Dune Mom: “You have Old Star Trek at home”

Old Star Trek At Home

• Regular

• Deluxe

• Budget Brand

• Whole Foods Select

• Fiji Brand Chickpea (not from Fiji and technically not a chickpea but does somehow both ruthlessly exploit foreign laborers and generate ten times its weight in carbon emissions; promises to cure cancer)

• A single novelty supersized chickpea that sits in a display case and never actually gets sold but kids love to look at.

In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of electricity use for the next decade now 17 times what it was only recently.

The first new nuclear plants since Three Mile Island just came online in Georgia last year. Vogtle 3 and 4 will produce a combined 1.2 GWe at peak capacity.

These reactors took 16 years and multiple bailouts and bankruptcies to complete, costing an estimated $34B to finish.

Hopefully, future power construction will move a little smoother.

As a comparison, the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant took ten years to complete at the cost of around $7.5B and it has a peak generation of 3.3 GWe

The only response to this decision is to vote harder and get even madder at anti-war activists going uncommitted.

And every time she’d try and report the posts the report button is greyed out.

What about the uninstall button?

What does it say that these once popular forms of mass surveillance are filling up with dog shit?
