LinkedIn sucks but I opened an account at the beginning of the year and built a network of thousands to hopefully give me some additional resources and job prospects if I get laid off and my family is put in jeopardy. I know it won't help but posting is free when you're doing it at work.

silicone thrills posted:americas test kitchen has me wanting to buy a carbon steel pan. I like cast iron but am intrigued at something being slightly lighter weight. I have a carbon steel wok but it's heavy as gently caress, I think like 14 pounds. Other than that, it's great. silicone thrills posted:grew up poor with hand me down cast iron and going to swap meets with my dad and picking up more beat up cookware. You can get cast iron non stick but it needs to be smooth bottomed and you cant achieved that easily with a brand new lodge unless you want to take a grinder to it right after buying. Ya I've banned all nonstick cookware in my kitchen. Metal or nothing. I've also been using an induction hob as much as possible since I have a galley kitchen in a 1bedroom apartment and don't want to choke on nitrogen dioxide. skooma512 has issued a correction as of 23:35 on Jun 12, 2023 |

Glumwheels posted:Were coolers always so expensive? I don’t remember them being so expensive and now even at Costco they sell coolers for well over $100. I always blamed it on loving Yeti driving up the prices because once other brands saw idiots paying so much they decided they could do it too. unfortunately Yeti and a couple other manufacturers had a bit of a coup when they convinced the parks department their containers were 'bear proof', so instead of having to bear box all your food you can just keep your ice chest in your camp ground. There's a list on a government website of which specific models are allowed.

ikanreed posted:Both loving and hating cast iron is classism. Bougie stainless steel owner, much like myself. Takes getting used to, but at least I can chuck the cheaper sets in the dishwasher without giving a gently caress if I'm lazy. I still handwash my demeyere, which I may have hosed cooking steaks on high for too long. Flat irons double in thickness as they cook, what else can I say. I still use tefal for scrambled eggs as I couldn't be arsed mastering them on stainless. Carbon steel (especially woks) is useless on my electric hob due to shape change.

There's a list on a government website of which specific models are allowed. Is that how they justify the high price? Idk, I’m not a cooler person at all. I don’t camp, I don’t go places that require a cooler, I don’t do things like that. I don’t like them. I hike and I have a child carrier and water bladders for backpacks, that’s it.

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:"they just give you a new car!" I kept upgrading my cars this way for about 15 years, no insurance fraud required, because I'm apparently so unlucky and people are so lovely that my cars kept getting totaled while I was sitting at red lights/stop signs. Buying manual transmission cars also meant that it was basically impossible to find anything equivalent for a normal market price, so the payouts just got bigger and bigger while my insurance premiums kept going down for my completely clean driving record. The only cost was that I now have some insane tics at red lights because I'm expecting some drunk person to come barreling out of nowhere and push me to the other side of the intersection at any moment. Driving is cool.

Xaris posted:it IS a co-op…. just a customer co-op. which is basically just a Walmart and completely opposite a workers co-op It's also a fake customer co-op in a lot of important ways. The co-op designation suggests that the customer-members select its management, but actually a management committee gets to hand pick who is nominated for those positions. Then the members can "vote" to confirm the pre-selected nominees (almost no one actually votes, in part because it is a sham anyway). So there is no real governance by the members, and a huge chunk of the profits are given to executives. So the members aren't really the ones who direct the anti-union policy, since they have no real say, although they benefit from it. It is true however that they do not have corporate shareholders.

Another piece about the cancer-drug shortage:quote:
https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4043094-chemotherapy-shortages-push-cancer-centers-toward-crisis/ In other pharma news, both Merck & the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have sued the feds bc of the weaksauce drug controls that may or may not kick in for a handful of cancer drugs paid for by Medicare that were included in the weaksauce legislation that weaksauce Biden got passed by congress last year.

It loving rules we have no government subsidies for critical drugs. Are you trying to suggest that public health is a societal concern? Because we've recently had a referendum on this very issue and I think you'll find that public health does not matter at all.
