God I wish, food prep is one of my least favorite things to do lol.
I put pretty much all of my stainless steel stuff in the dishwasher and it's fine
He had begun teaching a few years before renouncing his citizenship, but the accusations only came several years after in 2017. And again, these accusations are against a South African flight school that trains civilian pilots. He's absolutely being made an example of because of anti-Chinese sentiment in the US.
I did just read the story on a different website, and it says he was indeed no longer a citizen when he helped with the training. He had apparently had filed everything to renounce his citizenship a few years before this all took place.
Additionally, the school he was teaching at was in South Africa, where some Chinese students were attending. It's not like he waltzed over the Beijing with classified materials.
The whole thing reads like a crocked up sinophobic nothing burger.
EDIT: Love that I'm being downvoted for pointing out basic facts in the story.
Cast iron has a weird cult following. It's like the jahovas witnesses of cookware
I have no fear of cooking with it, I just want my cookware to be minimally fussy and not require special treatment. If the $10 Walmart skillet can be thrown in the dishwasher and the $100 cast iron one requires me to baby it or it'll rust, I'll go with the cheap skillet every day.
He was also incredibly racist and extremely homophobic even before his schizophrenia got bad. I don't want to play suffering Olympics here but you can suffer from mental health issues and still be an awful person.
Real question, why wouldn't the win95/xp version satisfy someone? Isn't it the same thing with simpler graphics?
I mean yeah, the Democratic elite seem to have utter contempt for the party base and just ignore polling. Gaza is the perfect example of this. In the lead up to the election, it was abundantly clear that Kamala's "policy" (read: doing nothing) towards Gaza was tremendously unpopular with the party base. And they just... Ignored it. There are plenty of people who withheld from voting on that issue alone.
A quote I really like; "with Democrats like these, who needs Republicans". The party is a total joke right now.
For the life of me, I can't understand how people think Russia is communist. Like, at least the PRC is nominally communist and describes itself as a communist state (even if it's not really doing communism).
But Russia? The USSR was dissolved decades ago. The Russian Federation never claimed to be communist. Are these people just stuck in the Cold War?
I'd say the reason the Democrats won't move left is because the party elite have a lot of donors they'd piss off by actually supporting serious leftist economic policy.
Maybe I'm wrong. Hell, I'd love to be wrong. But I've sort of lost hope that the democratic party is ever going to deliver.
I got to see one at a Stellantis exhibition here in the US! Although they won't be sold here, so IDK why they brought them to a US event. They're such neat little cars.
Well tbf the reason I'm complaining is that the status quo sucks and isn't going to get better, even if the Dems sweep next election.
The original Honda Insight from 2001 got 68 highway, 60 city. And it had all the goodies you'd want in a "modern" car like airbags, aircon, heat, 2 relatively roomy seats, etc. Close to the Doodlebug's best possible mpg with twice the passengers.
Unfortunately, after 20 years of improvement in auto design, material science, etc, the new Honda Insight in 2022 actually has notably worse city /highway mpg from the original, because it's so much bigger.
I guess my point is all the innovation in the world won't fix the fundamental problem that people want bigger and bigger cars?
Idk, Dutch micro cars are pretty comfortable. They're quieter, safer for pedestrians, and environmentally friendly. Had a chance to use one last time I was in the Netherlands. The American mindset of "it has to be a giga-truck or it's bad" really sucks.
Some of Tim Walz's largest donors are health insurance and professionals. They have financial incentives to keep the status quo. With Democrats like this, who needs Republicans?
Brian Thompson, the CEO who was killed and raised the denial rate of UHC to be twice the industry average, was also unelected.
