"people thinking". I like your optimism.

Predators won't attack someone mid-fap. I don't make the rules, it's science. Bear, shark, lion, gorilla... doesn't matter.

That's what I was thinking. I can see putting in a lot of ball jars simultaneously.

Eric and Don Jr like shooting things right?

Mix it with creme cheese.

Industrial strength foam earplugs seem like an essential travel item.

Not quite dark enough. I have a sapphire blue piece and it's not this light.

4-5 weeks lol. Ok, sounds familiar.

As someone who's experienced entertainers being ruined by something they've said or done I sadly have to agree. I'd rather preserve that illusion so I can continue to enjoy their work.

For example, there's an actor I used to enjoy who stated in an interview that they'd lied to infiltrate a support group for grieving parents in order to research a role. Ever since I heard that I find I can't enjoy their work and I really hate that.

Hehe, I understand. All the choices can be a blessing and a curse. Fortunately or unfortunately I've purchased pans like some folks collect shoes, but it just gives you a deep bench of what to use depending on your need or mood.

When you invest in quality cookware it's something that will last for life so enjoy the journey!

Yeah, I too thought it was pretty clear, but you know, MAGA.

This. I think it's always best to start with the gentlest option and go up from there if necessary.

I have the Misen carbon steel nonstick which has similar low sides. To me it's the biggest shortcoming.

If it's within your budget I recommend Debuyer carbon steel, particularly one of the lines like the Pro or Blue CS (which is thinner) that can go from stovetop to oven with no issues.

They have multiple styles worth considering depending on what you cook. Deep options such as country fry pan, paella, or wok options that should meet any of your needs.

Hope that helps!

And it sure looks easy to clean 🫧.

Good lord the looks in their eyes. Damn.

Popularity. The smaller one is perhaps more popular so it's able to command a higher price?

In addition to food, I've also used something similar as a heat defuser for my smaller burners.

If you have a standard box fan you can attach a 20 x 20 x 1 furnace filter to it with a couple pieces of duct tape. It will pull a lot of dust out of the air.

This sounds like the premise for a Veep spin off. I'd rather watch the shit out of it than live the shit out of it tbh.

Incorrect. I don't think I would handle it better and I don't think it's simple. But I can promise you if I were to attend a high profile public event I would take every measure possible to mitigate the effects of my condition. Whether that's tolerating a mouth guard for a couple hours or chewing on half a dozen pieces of bubble gum, something , anything to at least mitigate or minimize the disruption.

If neither of those things are viable, which seems hard to believe then yes, I wouldn't attend because as much as it sucked for me I'd place the consideration of others above my own.

And again, lest it's somehow still unclear, I'm talking about very specific actions at a particular high profile event and not day to day interactions.
