> a decent pan with a thick bottom, the thicker the better. It will take longer to heat, but it will also provide a more even and consistent heat

Yes, but also, a good quality thinner pan also works. I have been a big cast iron fan for a few years. My wife recently sprung for some "All Clad" pans.

They are quite thin, they heat quickly, and I am every bit as impressed with them as I am with my cast iron. I took over for my wife at the stove while browning some sausages.... they browned faster than normal, on a lower heat.

I was very impressed; though, for the price, cast iron definitely wins out; but for speed, these things rock hard.

There is an even more sane default.... to only support text.

HTML doesn't belong in email; images should be attached to be downloaded and viewed in another application.

Simple, and has worked flawlessly for me since the 1990s. Formatting isn't content, not having it is no loss at all.

Incorrect.

The master key of these locks is not like a cryptographic key; it conveys no security at all. Since locks with the same master key are easily purchased; the shape of the master key is trivial to reverse engineer anyway.

Nothing was revealed by that photograph. Anyone who wanted a copy of that key could always have made one.

Bottom line: any mass market lock with a master key is fake security. TSA is endangering the public by even mandating one. This employee did nothing wrong except work for the TSA.

Who said Russia is fine? Russia isn't my problem, not by a long shot. Washington is actively harmful to the people where I live.

> Everyone outside the US gets a better deal.

Not true; all people in the US have to do is tune in when its broadcast at 9/8 central on Fox thursdays.

The spirit of Trek is alive and well, and CBS has nothing to do with it.

A solid show maybe but, there was less Star Trek in the free episode I saw than in the first five minutes of the average Orville episode.

I can't say anything redeemable about the free episode other than "nice graphics" but, Star Trek used to be the show that proved special effects were not all Sci Fi had to offer; so that was kind of a step backwards.

Then I can't even really complement the special effects because of all the lens flare someone shat all over perfectly good video.

They failed to sell me, and up to this point, I watched every single live action Trek show in existence.

I don't consider Russia an adversary;

Russia has never taken my money and lied to me about what it was being used for. Russia has never used my tax dollars to commit heinous acts of torture. Russia has never arrested my countrymen over what they choose to put in their own bodies.

Washington is our adversary.

Turns out this is absolutely the correct answer. It all comes down to one thing... Apple clearly thinks its own users are fucking stupid: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

What you could do though, is make the wifi router as dumb as possible and use a pi to replace its services.

I use an ancient WRT54G with a tomato firmware. its nice, but I prefer a bit more control over dhcp and dns so I setup a VM for that. Well... that means my network services break whenever the VM host needs some TLC. So I moved all those services to a pi.....because needing to reconfigure my desktop to connect to the web and explain to others why the network isn't working are both annoying when I need to look up grub commands.

The upshot though is, my router is easily replaceable without losing any configuration other than the ESSID and passwords.

I can't speak for everyone, but I can't remember the last time I cared what the photo on the government issued card I shouldn't really need for much of anything looked like.

I mean I know we Americans like to pretend to have low taxes, but, in reality, we just have a lot of misdirection and backdoor taxes.

Every fee you pay for a government service, especially the ones they impose on you like driver's licenses which need to be renewed for some reason and the same with car registrations. Then they setup their regulations to maximize offences so they can disproportionately rake in money from the poor. Those fines are all taxes really.

40%? That isn't far off from some estimates I have seen for totals of what a lot of Americans give our worthless government.

What uses is this in a "Garden"? Kill plants by height? That is useful in one instance only....when you are growing grass.

Also, I like dandelions, what good is a robot that kills those? Nope, wake me up when it identifies plants before killing them, then you have something I might care about.

But that isn't all of it. They also did violence to him. All he was doing was sitting using words; they escalated to physical contact.

How does this absolve them of the fact that they were revoking his seat entirely for their own convenience? The captain may be in charge, but the airline should still be held liable for his decisions.

Choosing to not honor his ticket may be their right, but I don't see why that absolves them of any and all responsibility. They took his money and then denied him service entirely for their own convenience. That is 100% on them.

How does "not as bad" fit into this at all? We are liberties pretenders.

The ability to complain is requisite for freedom; not sufficient alone. As long as people can be imprisoned, and are at terribly frightening rates; the highest in the world, we are not free.

As long as all the government needs to do to put you in prison is produce a physical object and claim you had it, whether that object is guns, or drugs, or religious symbols or any simple thing....we have no freedom.

As long as we can be survieled and have evidence trails "Constructed" to deny us the right to a fair trial, hell, while the president can deny us a fair trial.... we have no freedom.

Being able to complain about it is....nice. I will give you that.
