I remember seeing a bunch of research showing that any teflon you ate was just pooped out, so to speak. This ceramic pan I bought from IKEA lasted like 3-5 months until I was unhappy with it. Historically, the teflon pans I have bought from

It does seem to be, yes. Sweden will also fall if the leftist side wins in the september government election. They will end up banning sites allowing purely anonymous comments. (This might include HN.) This is the consequence of the ambitio

I saw what joining Apple did to a friend in the early 2000s. (Extreme burnout, did not get rich from the pain. It was just pointless destruction.)

My dad wanted a computer for the interwebs, at 70ish. I built him a PC and loaded it with the Ubuntu of the day (like 2012). It worked fine. The previous time he meaningfully interacted with a computer before that was via punched tape conta
