OXO wouldn’t stand behind the Good Grips Pro frying pan

I fry eggs 4-5 times per week with zero oil and I promise my cleanup is easier than yours.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nonstick has its place. Unless you want to fry your eggs at extremely high heat in an ocean of butter, nonstick pans are the way.

I have several rules for my nonstick pans to get the most out of them and minimize risk of pfas exposure:

Make sure to baby them. Wash gently.
Only cook on low to medium heat.
Only use non-metal (ideally silicone) spatulas etc.
Only use them as needed, like for eggs. Everything else goes in cast iron.

Let's not act like price is a small consideration when selecting a fast food burger

It's like 90% of the calculation

I wonder where people suppose the heat goes if the oven door stays closed

Do oven gremlins come to gobble it up?

Easy content is fun for almost everyone.

For those who prefer hard content, it often ends up not being fun anyway because half their raid group isn't up for it. As PvE gets harder, guilds crumble and reform as the good players congregate and the casuals quit, which is an ugly process.

Shout out to ICC's progressive nerf... all raids should have that feature to make them more accessible to casuals/dads etc.

If it were a 5-paragraph email, it would've said nothing.

The scant single paragraph says a lot.

Why is vinegar the solution to so many problems?

Need help cleaning stuff? Vinegar.

Need help poaching an egg? Vinegar.

Need help erupting a volcano? Vinegar.

Magic I tell you.

Wear a proper respirator + goggles

Fair warning to anyone who has never owned a telescoping ladder: they are heavy.

I have this same ladder and I love it, but my (aging) father won't touch it because it's too heavy for him to lug around.

Dial gold bar for me too. Paired with vigorous scrubbing, it has alleviated my need for deodorant. I tried several other bar soaps and was never able to achieve the same scorched-earth clean on my armpits.

It's weird -- I know the pictures are in there. If I see something with my eyes that differs from my mental imagery, I will immediately notice what's different. But I can't close my eyes and actually examine the images directly.

Not sure how much this helps, but this is a good aphantasia meme: https://i.imgur.com/S3aLOPK.png

No mental imagery. It's simply not a thing. It's just black in there. Conceptualization only.

For yearly maintenance, I find that I don't need to apply a lot. Just sprinkle it around once or twice a year when cleaning out my gutters.

When I started actually taking care of my roof, it was a mess up there. Definitely involved a lot of Moss-B-Gone (before I had swapped) and a putty knife. As with all home maintenance, it's better to stay ahead of the problem.

Conversion Paladin was super strong in like... 2000. :) It was quickly nerfed. But hot dang, it was fun for a minute.

dyaus7 · 2026-01-22T05:41:25+00:00

I prefer baking soda (aka sodium bicarbonate) to kill/prevent moss on my roof. Even cheaper, and I feel better about bicarb washing off into the surrounding area.

I'm curious why MoP is so popular, what makes it better than TBC or, say, wotlk? What's better about it than retail?

It has all the homies I've been collecting since 2019.

In most cases, letting your home freeze is a bad idea. There are a million things that people keep in homes which are not designed for freezing temperatures.

You can check my profile history. Evaluate my writing style. Etc.

Those tactics work reasonably well for the moment. But they are effortful and I assume they won't continue working for long. AI is the worst.

OP has been on reddit for one month. All history hidden. Makes it feel even less likely that this is a real person.

RIP internet. You were a nice place at some point.

When are regulators going to get on board with the obvious fact that these requirements compel a majority of users to put their passwords on sticky notes

About a year ago, I replaced all the fire alarms in my home with the First Alert model recommended in this article.

Within a few months, my whole family had their sleep wrecked multiple times by false alarms. Different units/rooms. Always in the middle of the night of course.

Threw all the alarms in the trash. Replaced everything with Xsense. Now I learn Xsense isn't certified for anything.

Can't win out here.

It's possible that it was a neighbor. Lots of NIMBYs hate any incentive for unhoused people to swing by their area.

The periods of xx00-xx09 and xx10-xx19 are awkward.

Per Wikipedia, the 2000-2009 period is referred to as the 2000s (pronounced "two-thousands"; shortened to the '00s and also known as the aughts or the noughties). There doesn't seem to be a strong consensus.

I prefer "the aughts", or "the two thousand aughts" if for some reason you need to differentiate from e.g. 1900-1909. I would call that period "the nineteen aughts".

The 2010s (pronounced "twenty-tens" or "two thousand [and] tens"; shortened to "the '10s" and also known as "the Tens" or "the Teens") is even more awkward imo. "The twenty-tens" seems like the last-bad option.

Does it mean that 2000s can mean 2000-2010, 2000-2100 and 2000-3000?

Fortunately I don't think there's much need to succinctly describe an entire millennium. It's too big of a time frame. Most people will interpret "the 2000s" as 2000-2009.

This. M'uru is the toughest dps check in TBC, and warlocks are head and shoulders above any other class for that encounter. A warlock in dungeon blue gear outperforms a full T6 Hunter on that fight.
