MAGA is straight up losing it after Taylor Swift’s Harris endorsement
  • Which is hilarious since the main source of income for musicians ever since streaming took off is live shows and merch.. albums are a vehicle to drive attendance at concerts, for which Swift is pretty good at packing stadiums full of people. Even if she loses 30% of her listeners, she'll still sell out concerts and total revenue would likely be about the same because those seats will be taken up by other fans who would have otherwise missed out on the sold-out show.

    Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills
  • If your job involves typing to any degree and you're shit at it, your overall performance will suffer because typing will become a bottleneck to your productivity. If nothing else, typing fast means you can have more downtime in between tasks because you're not spending all day hunt-and-pecking

    Seriously.
  • After a few weeks, the humidity is driven out of the air, and humidity is what allows heat to transfer to/from your body more efficiently. Hit feels hotter when it's humid, and the same with cold, however hot air can hold more moisture, so it tends to build humidity over time. After a couple weeks with cold weather, the humidity drops and the cold starts to feel less cold.

    Father of Georgia school shooting suspect told investigators he purchased gun as holiday present for son, sources say
  • You'd "give" the gun to the kid in the sense that it's "their" gun to take hunting (and maintain, clean, etc), but it stays locked up in your safe, to which the kid has no access. But, in that case it would be a hunting rifle meant for beginners, maybe chambered in .22 or something like that. Usually, it's something that gets passed down from parents/grandparents if hunting runs in the family. Definitely not the "school-shooter-9000" that these people got for their kid.

    JD Vance says school shootings are a "fact of life"
  • They have a comprehensive two-pronged approach, they start with thoughts and immediately follow up with prayers, but for the sake of efficiency, they don't actually think or pray.

    What is the most severe case of brainwashing you have seen?
  • This is one of the few acceptable ones IMO. Sometimes, something is bullshit, you know it's bullshit, everyone else knows it's bullshit, but you have no ability to fix or avoid said bullshit, so... it is what it is.

  • GTAV was great for that, I could use KB+M for shooting and stuff, then switch to a controller for driving/flying, which is much easier with analog inputs

    Deficiencies
  • As for the "you can't clean it" it's BS in and of itself. I use a chainmail scrubber to remove the big stuff, then soap and one of those green scrubbers to get it good and clean. The trick is, no matter how you clean it, you need to dry it COMPLETELY (I use paper towel) then oil it immediately. Doesn't take much oil either, maybe a drop about the size of a nickel for a 12" skillet. My wife has alpha-gal syndrome, so all cookware needs to be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water, no exceptions.

    Once you get a good seasoning set in, it's almost indestructible, unless you seriously mistreat it... and even then it's fixed pretty easily with an SOS pad, oil, and an hour or two in a hot oven.

    My cast iron is more non-stick than any so-called 'non-stick' pan I've had, and I have one of those The Rock pans. I think the only caveat is you have to get a decent one. Anything made in China is no good (nothing necessarily about the casting or finish of the pans themselves, they just have very low quality iron); I personally buy Lodge, but there are a few other good brands to look in to.
