In Germany we just take regular “Backpapier” (literally “baking paper”) and put it in the oven.

It’s basically just Polytetrafluroethylene, better known as PTFE or Teflon™

MrSlicer ,

You Germans and your fancy ovens.

wieson ,

Wow. What a terrible shoehorn.

DarthBueller , (edited )

You’re telling me that one of the reasons that water is globally polluted with PFAs is because Germans love David Hasselho… I mean, because German parchment paper is coated in Teflon? EDIT: google says that the vast majority of parchment paper is silicone coated, not teflon. I was starting to get a justice arrhythmia, I can calm down a bit now.

GCostanzaStepOnMe ,

You’re not supposed to flush your parchment paper.

DarthBueller ,

Jokes aside, apparently it’s not teflon on parchment paper. Even if it was, it’s not the teflon itself, it’s the manufacturing of it that is problematic in terms of PFAs. Apparently also high heat is sufficient to cause Teflon to degrade and PFAs to be released. It’s crazy that it is still being used in cookware at all. I switched over to cast iron and Asian-grocery store brand stainless cookware, though my new air fryer has teflon and I’m suffering from sunk-cost fallacy in relation to it.

GCostanzaStepOnMe ,

Just get a cast iron air fryer.

DarthBueller ,

OK now THAT made me laugh out loud. Thanks, I needed that.

newIdentity ,

I’m sorry. I don’t mean PTFE, but PFOA, but apparently it’s forbidden since 2021. I’m sorry for spreading outdated information

I dunno, people used to stay at one company their whole life, get a pension, good insurance, regular raises…

Yeah you’re definitely right, just not a concept I will ever be familliar with.

Reusable baking sheet liners are pretty cool.

Silpats are all I use.

The generic ones always turn dark and gross. But they’re fine if you don’t bake often.

PITA to wash

elscallr ,
@elscallr@lemmy.world avatar

They are a bit. Kinda wish they were a tiny bit more rigid. That said, you can have my silpats when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.

MNByChoice ,

I usually push the sheet liner against the vertical side of the sink where it is flat to wash. Wash one section at a time, both sides. Takes about 30 seconds.

Though, this may be the technique you are using, and it may be a pita.

PersnickityPenguin ,

Yeah but forever chemicals

demlet ,

Wealthy people fly their private jets to get cigarettes, I’m not losing sleep over my baking sheet liners I’ll probably have for the rest of my life.

Working for the federal government in Canada I learned that following the process is far more important than getting anything done.

Results, not important

There is no such things as the employer will provide a safe working environment. They don’t care, it even more true when your safety cost them money.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

It depends on the job type really. If it’s something in the food business, you are in a literal death trap every day in the name of some random person’s sense of taste, but if you’re in a humanity job for example, they can’t afford the mentality that would cause the work scene to not accommodate to you.

A humanity job?

shinigamiookamiryuu , (edited )

I was referring to the field/category. Things like soup kitchens and daycare.

In college and trade school the field is called human services.

vandermouche ,

I work in agricultural robotics… Our client develops a new harvesting machine, but is unaware of the real danger of it. My boss just want the things done as fast as possible. This expose us to danger. Not really a robotic cell, not really an agricultural machine, something in between, without any direct regulation to cover it because it is new.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

Sorry about that. Hopefully they fix that and you live somewhere where they’ll be able to. In most relatively well-off countries, usually filing a complaint in court does the job.

huh?

LongbottomLeaf ,

I think they meant the sub where life is treated like a game, a very poorly designed game (almost as if there was no Designer, just people).

Things like, “I’m level 18, should I spec my character into the biochem, robotics, or software guild?”

Or “What’s the cheat code for an affordable surgery?”

You get the idea. Life’s a game. And it sucks. Stupid devs.

paraphrand ,

I wish they would properly announce the UFO DLC already. All we have is rumors and hearsay.

Pseu ,
@Pseu@kbin.social avatar

I'm personally of the opinion that the hints aren't for the UFO expansion, but it's probably teasers for the World War 3 event, combined with camera artefacts and general player secrecy.

It's sad too. Everyone wants some good new DLC. All this PvP shit is getting out of hand. :(

Affordable surgery is exclusive to the European servers, it seems.

domainnamewire.com/…/verisign-announces-another-c…

Verisign (NASDAQ: VRSN) today announced a 7% increase in .com prices to take effect on September 1, 2023.

Under its agreement with ICANN and the U.S. government, Verisign is allowed to increase prices by 7% per year in the last four years of every six-year contract term. This will be the third hike of this contract term, and the company is expected to increase .com prices to $10.26 in 2024.

Would be nice if ICANN changed the agreement a tad .

And before anyone comments “bUt thAt’s caPitaLism”, yes, we know. It sucks.

gandalf_der_12te , to asklemmy in What is the biggest lesson that employment has taught you?

If the company claims that “you need to work overtimes because we are short on stuff”, then that’s definitely their failure to hire more people. NEVER work overtime, except if you get appropriate compensation for it.

“No” means “no”, also in and especially in the work environment. If your boss asks you to stay longer to “finish the task”, just say “no” and walk away.

whofearsthenight ,

…with the understanding that It’s often grounds for termination in which you won’t even get unemployment unless OT is specifically spelled out in your contract this way. The term in these cases for “no” in which you’re not being asked to break laws/regulation/contract, is usually “insubordination.” Oh and company policy, though even that’s sketch because company policy is sometimes dumb as shit so it will occasionally get overridden.

I’m not a bootlicker, join a union if you can, know your contract and don’t do an iota more than what’s required unless you gain a benefit from it, but always be wary of advice like “tell your boss to go fuck themselves!”

IWantToFuckSpez , to asklemmy in What is the biggest lesson that employment has taught you?

It’s about who you know. Don’t socially isolate your self even when you are great at your job. Being invisible is a sure fire way to be overlooked when it comes to promotions or a raise. Also being likable means your colleagues will more likely have your back and root for you.

A couple of months ago there was a post on Reddit of a Gen Z person who hated when people would say a simple good morning to them. They rather walk into work, sit down, do their work and go home without talking to anyone. And a lot of other Gen Z people agreed with them. Crazy that they don’t understand how the “game” works, nobody is going to root for you when you act like that. Also no wonder Gen Z is struggling with loneliness.

That could very well be depression. I certainly don’t like dealing with people when depression is getting the upper hand.

robotrash ,

Let’s not start shitting on the next generation, please. We promised to be better, so let’s make an attempt at empathy yeah? IDK how old you are but keep in mind they’re inheriting a dying planet, late stage capitalism, and in general, hopelessness. I’m very securely in the millennial range and we were also shit on heavily when entering the workforce. Be better.

Custoslibera ,

Millennials for the defence of Gen Z gang rise up.

I don’t want Gen Z to kill themselves because they can’t see a future. Protect them at all costs.

robotrash ,

We also need them very immediately to vote. We can’t count on other millennials, gen x has given up trying and boomers are still voting like it’s their job. We need to make sure they vote, IDC who they pick, they just need to be active.

It’s administered by a nonprofit (Public Internet Registry) which cap the wholesale price to ~$9 per year. There was a proposal to remove the price cap and transfer the management to a an investment firm a few years ago and it was met with uproar so it was canceled.
