Copper pans are fucking GORGEOUS though…

If your kitchen means your pans go in a cupboard, don’t spend the money on copper pans.

I cheat and use an æbleskiver pan. 😜 No flipping required, you just rotate them with a skewer.

Danger is in eating too many without realizing it. LOL.

For gas vs. electric vs. induction vs. infrared:

I’ve never cooked on gas so I can’t speak to it. I always had normal electric ranges.

Then I got an induction stovetop and it was a game changer. Instead of using a heating element to heat the pot, it uses magnets to agitate the atoms in the cookware and that turns the pot into a heater.

For example, I can boil a pot of water in 2 minutes, faster than a microwave.

The downside is you HAVE to use magnetic pans for it to work (like cast iron.) If you have, say, an aluminum pan, you have to get a stainless steel plate, which will heat the pan and the pan heats the food, just like a normal electric stove.

Infrared works the same way as electric, it heats the pot which heats the food.

I got started when I inherited my grandmothers Le Creuset dutch oven. She purchased it in the 1950s and it’s still going strong…

Then I found they had an outlet store near me…

Non-Stick, no matter what brand, will need to be replaced every 3-5 years. So, yes, enameled cast iron is more expensive, but when you compare 1 set of cast iron to 15 to 25 sets of non-stick… yeah…

Cast iron also retains heat better than non-stick, carbon or stainless steel, aluminum or copper.

But it is HEAVY AS SHIT. You aren’t hand flipping pancakes in cast iron.

Looks too young to be away from mom too, but I don’t know how they could possibly reunite either… Drop the baby off at the closest colony and hope for the best? 🤔

Oh, god, I don’t. Not even close.

You give that baby all the salmon they want!

The ones that bug me the most come out of nowhere, make 30 to 50 posts in an hour, then delete themselves.

I stay on top of it in my communities and ban them as soon as I see them, but they still flood new and other communites that are basically unmodded. 😟

Problem, one side DOES compromise:

It’s not a done deal yet, your headline makes it sound like it just went through and it hasn’t yet. It could take a while depending on the regulatory hurdles.

"It’s typical in the days and weeks following a deal announcement of this scale for interest groups, politicians and corporate competitors to call foul on antitrust grounds.

The Department of Justice is most likely to review the deal, as it has other media mergers in the past, and it could take some time. DOJ reviews can take anywhere from months to more than a year.

Netflix said Friday it expects the transaction to close in 12 to 18 months, after Warner Bros. Discovery spins out its portfolio of cable networks into Discovery Global."

It’s funny because “Daisy” is a character in both. 😉

Dude will be 80 next year, the idea that he’s not somehow having major medical issues would be bizarre.

I’d love for a reporter to ask “So how’s the Leqembi treatment going?” and watch him either a) explode or b) Go on at length how it’s an amazing drug and he never felt better.

Why would you ask AI to delete ANYTHING? That’s a pretty high level of trust…

Replacement costs on everything are going up thanks to Trump’s tariffs. So insurance costs on everything are going up:
