Isn’t Cast iron heat conduction poor compared to copper or aluminum? I’d think a heavy copper clad pan would be better. Or a giant salt block for meat cooking

If wanting a Teflon coating, is there any benefit for doing cast iron? Or do you mean ceramic coating. Isn’t a main reason people go to cast iron is to avoid Teflon and get the natural non-stick of seasoned iron? If that isn’t needed, what’

> It gives a closer shave and cause more skin irritation. Which type of razor are you referring to? It’s hard to tell. I went to old school safety razors because they caused so much less irritation than Gillette. But it did take finding

I do not like polyester especially in areas that can get sweaty. That’s an obvious corners they cut and not premium. I’d need to actually order one to compare texture and seams but hard pass on polyester underwear. As the Amazon reviewer sa

Calvin Kline micromodal underwear is a whole different ballgame than fruit of the loom. The final price is due to a mix of quality and branding. It’s not just taking the same item and targeting “lifestyle” It’s not just a matter of targetin

Many Government orgs are underfunded and pay worse than private sector. FB engineers make bank compared to being a federal employee. It’s not surprising creating Fb accounts are easy. Why do we as a society value accounts on an advertisemen

The high cost difference part is remarkable but the “she’ll never pay it back” part seems to me like observing a mega millions lottery winner will never pay back the prize money with future ticket purchases. Isn’t that the whole point of th

I answered a survey with a fake name, not email, for one of the two major political parties. I now get horrible spam from scammers addressed to that name which I never used anywhere else.

Imagine A libertarian exercised his freedom by not masking on the subway and due to that gave Covid to an older passenger who later died, depriving him of right to life. How could we ever have seen that different individuals’ rights can con

If you called in to Amex using the number on the card for certain things like fraud, for a while they would then text you a code in a message that says: “Amex Fraud Free Msg: Your requested code is: xxxx. We won't call to ask for it. D

Health insurance and seatbelts are comparable concepts, that is what the seat belt comment was about. Seat belts and 3 months of Shanghai style quarantines are way different. The other points raised are like asking someone if they like hot

Libertarians have beliefs like > “in principle, there's no difference in mandating you use a seatbelt, and mandating that you stay in your home for three months.” That is why there isn’t much anti-libertarian ideology unless it is r

The state of things in ca and America might not be pleasing but denial won’t change what is “normal” in the sense of common and standard, not unusual. It’s not a desired state of affairs, but it’s definitely a current normal that is not jus

You’ll also never see them say “I’m a freedom from property rights absolutist” as in no state or private ownership but that doesn’t mean anything either. Dictators not going to say “xyz” doesn’t really have any bearing on the merits of xyz,

That doesn’t follow. In an illiberal country they’ll just ban any large platform that allows anything. How would free speech absolutism on a platform or in some other country have any impact on a state like that?

Single use plastics utensils and straws are literally needless garbage in 99% of cases. They so easy to avoid needing, but because people are used to it they act like their right to life and liberty is being taken away. This actually makes

This is utterly bonkers. The discrimination sounds completely blatant and is it actually saying any case flagged by the algorithm was considered and treated as proven fraud rather than just raised for investigation?!? That’s absurd.

That is a very short term an narrow view that leads to a race to the bottom in terms of quality and innovation. It leads to cheap mass produced generic fair. In the long run it’s terrible for buyers.

AGI: Adjusted gross income? That didn’t make sense. Acronyms in headline are not the place to put them unless it’s very certain the target audience is innately familiar. Guess I’m not that audience.
