I think the technical term is: But muh ecomnomie!

Just waiting for it to leave early access

Galapagon ,

Ok but hear me out, devil’s advocate, gaming is and has been one of the cheapest forms of entertainment for a long time, and production costs have increased significantly.

Galapagon ,

It’s like it was almost designed for the rich to begin with.

Galapagon ,

Totality or bust. See you in South America or Spain!

I mean technically it will be the dark side of the moon. It’ll just be the same side we normally see. A super fast new moon if you will.

Chemistry has discovered more than they probably care to admit by accidentally licking things.

Stop using non-stick* Switch to cast iron for cheap or stainless steel for fancy

Galapagon ,

You can get similar non stick properties from learning to use cast iron or stainless steel. If you’re interested, I’d say start with cast iron, it’s cheaper and while you’re still learning how to make it non-stick super easy to clean by literally scratching it with chainmail!

Galapagon ,

Google “stainless steel water test” but basically the water starts sliding around on the pan.

For eggs it needs to be hot enough to just maintain this effect, or else they can burn and start sticking again. You can also add a bit of oil at this point but it’s not strictly necessary and can cause smoke depending on the oil used.

Unfortunately the quality of your pan also has an effect here. 3-5 layer “all clad” is best. But if you wound up with partial clad like me (the kind with a visible disk on the bottom) the section that isn’t clad will almost always get at least a bit of food stuck to it.

Learning stainless steel imo also takes more patience if you’re on electric, because you’ll need to wait longer for the temperature to settle, but not impossible. I switched to magnets! If you want to give magnets a shot, but don’t want to spend $2000+, you can get an induction hot plate online for ~$100

No toxic forever chemicals for me.

If you don’t use metal, and don’t overheat the pan it should be fine, but once I learned ss/ci I got rid of all my non stick and never looked back.

Galapagon ,

My wife still does eggs in the cast iron, which is fine, anything that gets stuck on we just scrape off.

Cast iron is extra post cleaning care Stainless steel is extra cooking and cleaning care. Get barkeeper’s friend.

Galapagon ,

It’s okay, just practice getting the water to bead, that’ll help a lot, and if something gets stuck, plastic or wood scrapers and barkeeper’s friend will help.

Sometimes I’ve also boiled stuck on food, that’s helped it release too.

And worst case, you make mistakes and can learn from them, no harm no foul I’d say!

In before this feature is discontinued by Google.

Amps are how much you can push Volts are how hard you can push

If you push too much, the device won’t use everything If you push too hard, something is likely to break!

That’s how I try to remember. It’s a bit more complicated because you’re not wasting 1.3a if it’s only using 0.7. and I’d have to do the math but for example in some cases you could use (for example without checking math) 10v power supply and only use .6 amps

In your case go with what agentsac is saying, but I don’t think you need to worry about max amps.

Galapagon ,

I think I like your idea better

Galapagon ,

As another comment noted, this negatively affects pollinators too

US seizes more illegal e-cigarettes, but thousands of new ones are launching (apnews.com)

Federal officials are seizing more shipments of unauthorized electronic cigarettes at U.S. ports, but thousands of new flavored products continue pouring into the country from China, according to government and industry data reviewed by The Associated Press....

Assuming 10% of 100,000 is 10k divided by 18 stores is 555 customers each. If everyone only goes once a year, and theyre all open 5 days a week, they still each have 2 customers per day

Galapagon ,

It depends, if they’re spending say… $60 each? That’s enough to pay a minimum wage employee at least. Also remember these are conservative numbers I’ve made up. It’s likely that people visit more than once per year, sometimes spend more, sometimes spend less exc.

Galapagon ,

Can I come to your party,? Maybe drink some of your blood? Idk ?

Galapagon ,

I’m not sure about that, hypoxia could be a fun time. CO2 poisoning would just be sleepy… So not as fun I guess. Waiting to die would definitely be lame though.

Galapagon ,

Those teenagers should get it too! Right? There were plenty of teenagers when I went to their concert this decade!

Galapagon ,

I think the bigger problem is that there are only two parties. Having the biggest party lead the house wouldn’t be as big of an issue if they were still a minority of the total collection.

Galapagon ,

Ok, show me where it says that then

Galapagon ,

None of that says that church and state must be separate, just that there can be no religious test. There’s nothing in there barring him from saying “I think God blesses the people here”

In fact, to really be edgy, that also doesn’t prevent the government from say donating $10B each year to some Christian church.

To your second point, I never suggested that the Constitution says we should base our laws around the Bible.

My only point is the oft quoted Separation of church and state is only an idea from the Jefferson papers. If you want to make sure church and state remain separate, and the new speaker doesn’t start using federal funds for his church, perhaps it’s time to actually put separation into the Constitution?

Galapagon ,

That’s really more a bar on state religion, that again doesn’t really prevent our new speaker from say proposing a bill that donates Federal funds to his favorite church, so long as the government isn’t in control of said church.

YSK: How to Budget

Budgeting is a very crucial part of your finances that will either break you or make you survive into another month. I have a very unpopular belief that says, if we take away the inflation issue, take away the wage issue and wage theft problem in America. I do believe that a lot of people are just simply bad with money....

Galapagon ,

Take this one step further and make it into so many bank accounts, they’re free after all!

One bank account for only the things you know don’t change each month (rent, insurance exc)

Another account for things you can estimate each month (house gas, electricity exc)

I like another account for things like groceries and car gas after that, I find there a bit less predictable than things like electricity.

A few savings accounts for emergencies, trip planning, exc.

Finally one account for fun money to spend each month.

The beauty comes when you set them all up for automatic transfer and bill pay and only have to think about most of it once or twice per year!
