All I know is whoever came up with the idea to use chainmail to scrub cast iron I applaud.

Next time I'll do it I'll say "let's rub!"

They are loving pans, you nerds.

Like, there is a cast-iron comal (I bet I could get some good cash for it) that is easily over a hundred years old at my Mom's house. Does anybody fawn over it? Nope, it's a goddamn skillet, the important thing is what (and how) you cook on it. My grandma spent more than eighty years cooking with it and not for a second she thought "I must season/machine/sand/gently caress this hunk of metal."

I remember at some point when I was a kid I heard that copper is best for pans because the heats distributes more quickly and evenly. I thought, “oh, ok. Probably never gonna be too important unless I become a chef though”

Any more thought devoted to the materials of your tools is embarrassing

As an old fart, I believe that everyone should get together a good drill/driver/bit and a good set of cookware (knives and pans) early on in life because you need to replace poo poo versions of those every 5 year or less. Buy something bulletproof up front you're saving in the long run. Cast iron is good because barring being close to a nuclear event it's going to be around long after you're dead. I still have my dads drill and it's made of solid metal from the 70s, works perfectly. Same with knives - they have been sharpened so much over the years they are shorter than when purchased, but still keep an incredible edge.

Also buy a good mattress, older you will thank you.

I've had the salami one, it's not completely horrible but it is absolutely a food science abomination to god. The bun gets too toasted and just disintegrates when you bite into it, you cook it split up, then assemble it afterwards.

Don’t get me wrong I find that kind of thinking entirely reasonable. I’m not yet at a stage where I need to buy kitchenware but when I do I’ll likely get something that lasts, not something that’s the latest fad in katana steel pans blessed by blind monks in the mountains with nebulous antitoxin claims or some stupid bullshit like that

First step is to buy somewhat el-cheapo good knives. Victoronix knives fill that void quite well.

Honestly, any halfway decent knife set ( tripling the recommendation for Victorinox) and a decent set of pans will cover you for 99% of the stuff you need. And as far as pans go, there's really not a lot of magic to it - you can get a set of tramontina pans from Wal Mart instead of shelling out for all-clad and not be missing much: https://www.seriouseats.com/2010/08/equipment-the-all-clad-vs-tramontina-skillet.html

I'd recommend getting a single cast iron skillet just because they're good for things like steaks and pizzas and they'll last forever, but they're definitely not even a "must have" if you have a halfway decent set of stainless pans.

I don't have time to do a full writeup right now, but these dudes are crowdfunding a vape pen for vitamins

Vitamin Air



Which like, I mean fine I guess, but as someone who vapes to quit actual smoking, I absolutely can't wait until there's a day where I don't have to breathe in nebulous chemicals, and the instant I'm reliably down to 0 nicotine I'm throwing all this poo poo in the trash.

Given how extremely questionable the use of vitamin supplements are, it wouldn't surprise me at all if these were just as bad as sucking in nicotine.

I am curious about this:

Not the first time this has happened. Pretty sure when the UK regulated the vaping industry one of the first things to go (or at least the first thing which people were warned about) was vapes with like nutrients and poo poo

Caffeine/alcohol vapes do exist so I can imagine that it would make sense but as far as I know there’s no evidence of nutrient/vitamin vapes working

Absolutely none, but that’s not going to stop anyone making claims that aren’t evaluated by the FDA. Oddly enough, some of the legal weed vape products appear to be on the harmful side. Strawberry is going to be gross as gently caress as well.

I quit smoking nearly a decade ago with Chantix. poo poo works, but it gives you dark dreams. Like borderline nightmares, making me less likely to smoke again through aversion at least. Seriously, you have to watch that poo poo for suicidal ideation.

My roommate quit using chantix. On a couple different occasions I woke up in the middle of the night because he was walking around the house with a loaded shotgun.

I uh... I'm just gonna vape, I think.

edit: Allen Carr was a bit of a poo poo, but his explanation of why smoking is hard to quit is pretty good.
