Sear it in oil. Once the crust is formed you can ease off the heat, add the butter (garlic and herbs too, if you want) once it’s safe, and baste. Basting might cause it to carry over cook a bit more, so be conservative with the core temp.

With phones, like with other things, a bit of protective covering goes a long way.

Sometimes you just get into a bitchslappin’ kind of groove.

“Troll logic” is one of my favorite memes.

Exactly like being hit by lightning at any instant has a 50% risk because either it happens or it doesn’t.

I already don’t trust any Google result that has “AI” anywhere near it, and barely even the rest anymore.

Yes, but was this specific one a result, or was it a 5 second fake because haha meme?

I’m already pretty skeptical of “AI” in the LLM-algorithm-hell sense, but that doesn’t mean people don’t make things up for shits and giggles.

Please tell me this is fake. I need to hear these words.

they always warped

You used too much heat. I try to be careful but occasionally fuck up the same way.

Here’s why it’s bullshit: it still has Teflon (or whatever). You still can’t use metal utensils, because goodbye nonstick layer. You still can’t get it searingly hot. The uneven surface could make cleaning more complicated. Any Teflon-like nonstick will accumulate wear and tear and thermal expansion stress until it cracks, peels or stops being nonstick, all of which are good reasons to throw it away for ergonomic and (probably) health reasons. Being surrounded by stainless or whatever is going to change none of that.

I would suggest just getting one of each “major kind of pan” - nonstick and either cast iron or stainless will let you do most things. Getting all three doesn’t need to break the bank either. Then you can save the nonstick for the stuff that really needs it, give everything else the heat and surface it deserves.

I distinctly remember this joke when 2000 or ME was the most recent one.

Five… four… three…

lmao

Well at least this surely will be easily disabled and then not keep re-enabling itself when Windows forgets its own settings every couple weeks(!)

I wouldn’t be too comfy with b) either, as it sounds like a complete unicorn. At best, it’s hard to know the “quality” of that backing and even then there are ethical and legal liabilities.

You realize the security firm in this case would be sporting hardware that would make you a stain on the wall in 2 seconds from “trying”.

30 years after the rest of the world, so estimates are probably 30 years after the heat death of the universe.

She probably agreed because that is at least a seamless way of “acknowledging” some totally incomprehensible bullshit that a stranger just told her.

Not that I see how the sertraline dosage even came up, to be fair.

Serious question? The principle is called “opportunity cost”. Chilling out and touching grass is free - but you could also have spent that time working, producing stuff, learning or whatever. You have “lost out” on a potential benefit due to exactly how that time was spent.

The pro Russia part does.
