As someone who owns more cast iron than is reasonable, I just wanted to go a step beyond upvoting this and acknowledge in writing that this is the correct view of things. You want oil soaked into the metal. This idea that you are trying to

How to season cast iron: Cook with it. Use oil / fat. Honestly, cast iron is about the most forgiving cooking surface you will find. People love to make it more difficult than it is. Edit: Some additional tips on cast iron: Setting 4 &

To be clear, I don't think rioting is ever morally justified. Peaceful protesting is a different matter. The issue people had with the protests this summer wasn't that they were out protesting. It was the fact that literally every

Just like those Uyghurs in China, going off for "re-education" to learn how to be proper citizens.

I read somewhere yesterday that "political orientation" should be added as a protected class. I think there is a lot of merit to that idea.

"How dare you interrupt when the adults were talking" is basically how this comes across to pretty much everyone I've seen reactions from on social media.

Trump definitely had a chance to remain relevant post-election. As someone that monitors "alt-right" type people, he did a very poor job capitalizing on any of that. The past couple months have basically been the losing team talki

Mozilla seems to go out of its way to make it harder for right-leaning people to back them with every move they make... I can't help but feel we're in for a bumpy 2021.

Pretty sure you can buy Mein Kampf at most US bookstores. I know I bought a copy in high school, though I never did get around to reading it.

I think the entire year and everything about it has been a disgrace. Sure, treat them equally.

Unfortunately the non-Trump wings of the Republican party get you people like Mitt Romney. I'd vote Democrat before I backed that guy. Really just planning to excuse myself from politics for the next few years.

I know they aged the carcass for two weeks on my beef before they broke it down into cuts. I think the "dry aged" stuff is generally aged even further than that, right? I think I read somewhere that mass-market beef is generally n

I have a dream that someday America will get its head out of its ass and decouple health insurance from employer benefits. That would change the employment calculus for a ton of people.

The trouble we run into is if you try to call their bluff and make them wait it out until they are actually hungry, suddenly it's bedtime and you have a kid who won't go to sleep because they didn't eat anything, and it stops

I guess, yea, do business with people you trust. I've found butchers and farmers to be generally upstanding people. I'm also in the heart of farm country. I would be a lot more leery of people targeting a more urban market.

I'm pretty well versed in the whole FIRE thing, and find myself more or less on that path. One conclusion I've come to is that after people "retire early", they almost never actually stop making money. It just tends to e

Where would you suggest getting a "good" steak? In my experience direct from farmer beef is so superior to store bought beef that I avoid eating beef bought from a store.

Fair enough. I guess my assumption is that all diet advice is garbage and people should just figure out what works for them. The government and health system have obviously been of no help to people. I was surprised to learn when my kids we
