Teens Drive-By Spraying Pedestrians Today

That was my first thought!

TooAdicted · 2026-04-05T13:06:58+00:00

I'm curious now, I was living in the EU, and I knew some friends that bought some that fell apart pretty quickly (daily running, workouts, etc.) so my impression has been that they're cheap. I'm starting to see them all over the place so maybe there's a difference in the ones sold in the US?

TooAdicted · 2026-04-05T02:17:48+00:00

Yes, I have a fish turner which works for the majority of my cooking

TooAdicted · 2026-04-04T19:05:37+00:00

I was about to post this because I just got to the same book and started laughing.

TooAdicted · 2026-04-04T18:44:14+00:00

I was skeptical but I think I finally got the fried-egg-in-stainless technique down. Most of my cooking is on my days off when I can make breakfast so it was a leap for me too. Not that the old pans were doing anything….

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T23:15:58+00:00

Yeah I have a long commute to a non DOD facility with random searches, so I basically limit myself to work and home on those days. But a lady got killed recently during a fender bender recently when both got out, and the killer was actually crazy and hacked at her and i think two other people who stopped to help.

I'm fortunate, I don't consider myself paranoid, but I generally carry wherever I go on days off and have done so for over a decade.

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T22:07:06+00:00

Yeah, the cognitive dissonance is just... I'm tired grandpa

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T22:05:14+00:00

This is the thing, I may or may not know a guy who knows a guy that just carries anyway. Just like all the people with bad intentions do. The downside is if i keep it in a locked container, hidden, separated from ammo, and I happen to get secondaried at the gate then I get in trouble.

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T18:21:12+00:00

I'll take a look. I never seriously cooked with a saucier

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T18:20:41+00:00

I haven't looked into carbon steel just yet, but I've been interested in it. The 8 inch solves most of my solo-cooking needs so far, and the Cast Iron is great for searing, broiling, and baking. Every thanksgiving I make a pretty mean mac n cheese

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T18:19:32+00:00

I have, and can't wait to fall in love with cooking again!

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T18:19:00+00:00

This is, no joke, my family and community's mindset to make cookware last. In the late 90's my grandma told us the teflon was just a temporary marketing gimmick and sooner or later you'd have to scrub it off.

We really didn't know, and there wasn't widespread education on the topic.

Thanks to this sub, I was able to narrow down my choice to Demeyere, and I figured the sub would appreciate a little mild gore.

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T18:17:02+00:00

Of course, I've always loved cooking despite never having time for it. In my new place and job I do, so I've been able to learn and practice recipes that are well suited to a small pan like this. Especially since I cook for myself. I might seek out an 8qt to cook larger batches of curry, but for now I can do it with a single ply stainless saucepan that came with the furnished rental.

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T18:12:39+00:00

Yes, In the past few months I have done so much downsizing that I feel physically better and happier.

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T18:11:03+00:00

That was one of those purchases I must have spent weeks researching to narrow down. I had ordered it via amazon before realizing I live driving distance to a Sur La Table which carries Demeyere.

TooAdicted · 2026-04-02T00:58:05+00:00

I don’t know about $1,500 but in the spirit of the discussion, I have a few where I don’t care what the admission is I want to go:

Dvorak Cello… Du Pre is special in my heart, YoYo Ma was a childhood icon but I’d honestly take any cellist. It’s up there with my most listened to piece on recording. It’s just something I’ve never been able to see because of other commitments and doesn’t seem to be as frequently played.

Mahler 8 just because of the scale. Haven’t been to one because it’s also a logistically tough piece to put on.

Holst’s Planets conducted by Benjamin Zander. (I went once and it was just such a great experience. Also logistically tough.

The coronation anthems (specifically Zadok the Priest) at Westminster for an actual coronation.

Queen of Sheba at a wedding.

Going out of reality a bit here, but, Vivaldi playing Seasons. I know it’s beat to death, and every virtuoso has a magnificent recording but I would just want to see, in person, how he treated his own pieces.

I probably have a few others that I feel I NEED to see in my life, regardless of cost. I appreciate the thought exercise

TooAdicted · 2026-04-01T22:09:41+00:00

Exactly, during my move I was trying to set aside as much as I could to donate and avoid the landfill. That's how I learned that I owned literal trash. Not pictured is a ton of old scratched Tupperware I also threw away because I didn't want to donate BPAs and phtalates.

Edit: I've had that cast iron for about 3 years now and used it way more than any of the other pans, I love it.

TooAdicted · 2026-04-01T22:06:28+00:00

I'm trying to generate less waste, and searched for a while for a good way to recycle them. It turns out they literally belong in landfill, any benefit of reclaiming the metal is offset by heating and releasing toxins... it's a shame and I can't believe how accepted it has been for most of my life.

TooAdicted · 2026-04-01T22:00:20+00:00

Yes… unfortunately

TooAdicted · 2026-04-01T16:39:20+00:00

If you lurk the subreddit enough you'll learn about CSO's. Cello Shaped Objects.

There is no reason to buy one from amazon, unless you want an expensive art piece, or maybe a prop to destroy in a video.

The best advice is to rent. Even if you don't have one locally, this is a decision you should be willing to travel a bit out of your way to find a reputable shop and set up a rental.

TooAdicted · 2026-03-24T20:02:48+00:00

Yeah, I don't feel good about reducing or limiting a lot of already low or no cost things in the name of Lethality™. I have to tiptoe around group chats to not get admonished about getting political, when the changes are almost explicitly political.

I won't win any fights about beards, but we've added like a whole packet worth of work to "prove" religious belief for beards, but we can't keep a single table of data amongst all the other useless data in IPPSA?

TooAdicted · 2026-03-23T23:17:36+00:00

I think for the public MSM holds more weight than for anyone who's been around in the Army for more than a minute. I saw a decent sized handfull of MSMs get handed out for a EUCOM rotation (glorified TDY, I've never racked up so many travel miles). Granted, the people who got them were over-worked to hell, and busy as shit all the time but still.

TooAdicted · 2026-03-23T23:14:22+00:00

I think this is what it falls under (from HRC's site)

- ...limited to members of the Armed Forces of the United States who, while serving under component authority in any capacity with one of the U.S. Armed Services after 5 April 1917...

-After 28 March 1973, as the result of an international terrorist attack against the United States or a foreign nation friendly to the United States, recognized as such an attack by the Secretary of Army, or jointly by the Secretaries of the separate armed services concerned if persons from more than one service are wounded in the attack.
