The guy that named gifs may insist on a soft g, but he’s obviously wrong or a troll because graphic isn’t pronounced /jrafik/, and everyone other than a few pedants pronounce it the correct way. Similarly, Kalle Lasn‘s perspective

They could easily add an optional badge to avatars showing that you donated $1 that year via an optional in-app purchase. The subtle social pressure in a lot of group chats would be pretty effective, and it would help raise awareness that i

It’s very arbitrary. Silver or palladium are more similar to gold than Bitcoin, but no one even tries to compare the er... “market caps” of the mined metals to each other. It would be just as easy to say that Bitcoin had properties similar

I agree, things improved when I liberally used soap, scrubbers, and sharp flat metal spatulas to scrape things clean. But I also haven’t seen any flaking of the flax base seasoning like others have. With previous pans I have accidentally sc

Contra to what most are saying here, I went through this laborious and stinky process of taking my pans down to bare metal and building them back up with flax oil a couple of years ago and got great results. I did get poor performance after
