I’ve tried olive oil. Idk what it is, maybe user error, but those cures seem to be very delicate. Like the olives are all primadonna about touching such a base metal like iron.

I don’t use lard with cooking. My beef these days is limited to pho and a bi-yearly burger, but my rationale was, what did grandma use? Why was she soaping hers up in the sink with impunity?

Lard. And layers.

I respect the baby it approach too, and vegans, if that is your way.

Whatever works, it’s in.

I use an iron skillet for most things, it gets cleaned then takes up real estate on a stove burner until the next day.

Most of the time it’s just enough oil to sear things. Salmon. The white meat chicken with a bacon iron on top. Each needs some oil for Maillard rxn on the hot iron and non-stick, in addition to flavor and moistness.

It’s liquid at room temp. It’s minimal. When the pan is cool enough, a dollop of dawn, a light abrasive without a lot of pressure (it’s a tactile thing, cast iron people know) and the soap slurry goes right down the drain. I’ve owned for 25 yrs, no issues.

(Because someone is about to start text screaming: If it’s a new cure or a cure done in 1-2 layers or a weaker fat, any abrasive or cleaning will likely kill it. I use lard for my cures while lightly washing with hot soapy water in between. 5 layers/rounds of cure. Then oil it after each use for the first month post new cure. Then, it’s solid, just wash and dry, and you can use a light abrasive. We have a 12, a 10, three 8s, and three 5s in circulation.)

Now, if I make Pho, I’m not skimming the beef tallow/oil off into the sink. I wait for the broth to cool, crack the disc of solid lard off the top, and drop it in the trash.

Popcorn pan, sink. Salmon in the pan, sink. Dark meat chicken in the pan, cool and scrape those solids into the trash.

It’s about amount and what it does at room temp.

But the salt.

Only it ends badly because the whales don’t want to talk about it any more. Or can’t talk about it because they’ve been cooked to death.

Reading these incredible comments has revealed a large piece of what was named as the reason for lemm.ee shutting down.

This is a safety feature of women social groups for time immemorial. It’s a piece of how we survived prior to the last 50 years, and it continued as we moved forward into the era of liberation. We talk to each other.

I realize the “guy code” is one of silence. Cheating? Bros won’t say anything or warn anyone, by this code. In fact, the opposite is demanded by that code. Woman do the opposite, that is how the woman code works. I’ve witnessed fallout in friend groups when these diametrically opposed codes meet on regards to another friend. Apparently, having lunch with the cheated on woman and letting her know what is happening is applauded by women and enraging to men.

The piece regarding cheating is about integrity and treating people right in addition to safety. The rest of it is usually just about safety.

We survived millennia between being treated like prized horses. uteruses/vaginas with life support systems attached, and animals to be beaten, by talking to each other. Warning each other. Helping each other, where able.

The anger here, from you, is 100% expected, but the ordinary nature of that anger doesn’t make women wrong for exposing safety concerns in the dating pool. Given the myriad of diseases, including the incredible comeback of syphilis the last couple years, cheating is also a safety concern. Cheating should be exposed, always.

Why is everything we do, when we band together, seen as suspect and dangerous?

I certainly hope these people aren’t driving themselves to work with this schedule. In addition I hope no one on it has a heart condition.

The sweet spot for 12s is in having 4 days off per week. There isn’t time for anything in life on work days except work, sleep, commute. Thirdly, the first day off is a wash. Recovery. Like a nap that simply goes on all day. 12s are great but only with block scheduling and days off.

This schedule proposal sounds like something out of pre-OSHA, possibly intended to kill people. Live to work, not the other way around.

I’m not a programmer. Let me state it better though. I want the algorithms or lack thereof of the early 00s. I want to be able to search for something and get more than scrape sites and top 14, 17, or 22 lists. I want to be able to search for a businesses and contractors and get more than national chains with 800 numbers. If I type in electricians in city, state, I want it to actually do that instead of making me find a map app.

I want todays content in 2002 search engines.

Enshittify search to the point of it being nearly useless. Then introduce a little bot to find it for you. Predictable.

Car accident on the way back to prison.

Glass door used to post salaries and hourlies. There were visible trends of men making more, hourly, than women. I haven’t viewed the site in years though.

Reddit is repetitive and tiresome on the main subs. It’s so bot driven. There are so many ads. Spaz is a dipshit.

That said Lemmy still lacks the small, niche subs, which are still ok over there due to small numbers.

That said Lemmy will get the numbers for those niche subs if we all join and contribute.

Insanity. Pure, unmitigated insanity.

Walz broke that a little, freely calling people dipshits and poking at Vance with Reddit rhetoric. But it didn’t win so they likely won’t roll it out again.

It looks like their main strategy is to roll Buttigieg out in increments as their new face.

Meanwhile, Bernie and AOC are going their own way.

The dislike of Hillary was deeply entrenched. When Bill Clinton was elected and Hillary was First Lady they worked on a preliminary plan for universal healthcare that was dumped. Hillary was involved in the drafting of the plan.

This was a time when the 24h news cycle, via CNN, was only on the cusp of getting started. The nightly news, still in full swing, said awful things about her. They said she should stay in her lane and, worse, that she should be picking out china and curtains instead. They sneered at her on air with great contempt. Not Fox. ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN. All 4 were outraged by her stepping out of line as First Lady.

I cannot imagine this pervasive attitude wasn’t present in the Boomer+ vote.

In addition, Malcom Gladwell addressed some pervasive societal issues in Season 1 of his podcast in an episode called The Lady Vanishes. He predicted her loss.

And if you watched the hearing, she used the same email format as Colin Powell.

It’s the hypocrisy that bothers me. Roast anyone who is out of line, either party, but instead they take a stance of overinflating things like jeans and the tan suit and then ignore serious indiscretions and illegal activity on the right.

Of course, but it sets an example, proves to people that Linux can be mainstream and usable well beyond the corners where that mindset already exists.

It’s excellent advertising and promotion.

Imperfect Foods used to deliver weekly, perishables included, and they ended up being bought out by Misfit Market. Now, it’s overpriced crunchy product, like shopping Whole Foods from home instead of saving on ugly carrots, grapefruit sized cabbage, and overstock.

They’re not out of business yet. There is a market for perishables and produce delivery. and people are used to Amazon so they may win on this, sadly.
