Yeah, 90% of my cooking is done in one of three things: Cast iron skillet, pressure cooker, or 6 cup saucepan.

Yeah cast iron pan and cast iron dutch oven cover the vast majority of our cooking needs too. Stupid simple to cook with and with just a little care is always ready to do whatever I need it to.

I am going to need some context for this because there is no way I am watching an hour and forty minute video of a woman sitting fully clothed in a bath tub talking about Youtube drama between a male makeup artist and some old woman I've never heard of before.

Most of the old school cast iron wisdom is irrelevant these days. Once a pan is seasoned it’s pretty hard to damage it without physically scraping it off. Soap and water are fine.

I think there was specifically a problem with old soap made out of lye or something.

Yeah my only real complaint about using cast iron stuff is the weight. Trying to drain a pan full of grease is a challenge when it weights like 30 pounds and all you have is an awkward grip on the burning hot handle.

Why are insurgents attacking military forces on a military base described as terrorists committing a terror attack?

So the shootdown was apparently because the battery commander could not raise HHQ, and could not determine what the aircraft was and everyone was on edge, and claims that there was 10s before the aircraft was out of range of his battery, and he made the call to fire. So basically what everyone kinda figured, a communications breakdown in a high stress environment. That battery commander is probably on suicide watch though i'd bet, once someone told him what he shot down.

Dude's gonna be reliving that order for the rest of his life :smith:

Agreed. I played on an adult Rugby team for a little bit when I was younger and it is the best of soccer and football. Plus without pads you still get the poo poo knocked out of you but you are less likely to murder your family because of years of repeated head trauma, since not having a protective helmet forces you to tackle differently.

I don’t give a poo poo about Target’s bottom line but there is no way this dude can think that the manager could actually sell him a toothbrush for almost nothing because a price that says display all over it is listed as a penny.

I distinctly remember there being a big thing in China a few years back where there was a giant black market for cooking oil which resulted in people making knock off poo poo from sewage sludge and selling it at a discount to places around the country. Of course said knock off cooking oil contained like 50 bajillion carcinogens and was making people sick all over.

edit- I say this to show how loving thankful I am that there is some food regulation here in the US and would point to what happens in China to anyone who wants to weaken our regulations.

I will never knock attempts at making games more accessible for those with mobility issues. However, once that dude has figured out the ideal button mapping, he can shrink the size of that thing to a quarter of the size by using one of THESE. I built a fight stick that works on PC, PS4, Xbox, and Switch using a similar board and they are the size of an Altoids can.

It IS big on purpose. Hekk was saying he could keep the large controller but dramatically shrink the hardware side by using that board.

Yeah sorry I wasn’t clearer. I meant that the physical size of the controller can stay the same shape and size. However all of the wires he has running underneath of it can be made much smaller and easier to fit into the same case he is using for the sticks and buttons. The board I linked replicates the input for any of the normal console controllers. He simply has to hook the appropriate wires up on the board. However once assembled it’d be more of a pain in the rear end to change configurations so it’s best to hash that out beforehand with what he is using.

Flying in conditions where you don't have constant visuals with the ground change the flight from Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Pilots require additional training and certification to fly in IFR conditions. I am not familiar with what the flight plan filing procedures are for helicopters but I imagine there are different clearances required to fly IFR in Los Angeles which is one of the busiest areas in the US.

Air traffic, not cars.

edit- Also, I am not an expert on flying helicopters but I have flown. For planes, I can fly VFR without filing a flight plan. However, if I want to fly IFR, I need the IFR rating, an aircraft with all of the equipment necessary to fly IFR, and I need to file a flight plan in order to be granted clearance.
