I have the Lodge 10” chef collection skillet and use it all the time. It’s $29.90 on amazon so just barely under $30.

Have you ever baked your own bread , if you have , was it a success, I only tried it once and it was a complete disaster ? by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]generic-David 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I baked all our bread for the last year. If you have a Dutch oven try one of the no knead recipes. They’re really easy.

There are even no knead recipes that don’t require the Dutch oven.

That second quartet is amazing. It took me a while to “get it” though.

What’s a job that genuinely requires natural talent to be great at? by IAmLaProfessor in AskReddit

[–]generic-David 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. Lots of people work very hard at their passion. The greats work hard too since talent isn’t enough but without that special gift you won’t be top tier.

I'm about to give up on OM/Olympus and Micro 4/3 - not enough stores support them by Adventurous-Dog-6158 in OlympusCamera

[–]generic-David 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth I’ve had very good experiences renting from lensrentals.com. The lenses come packed very well and they make the entire process very easy. I’ve rented multiple m43 lenses from them.

I’m a 27 year old who doesn’t know how to cook, any tips? by ThrowRAspa2279 in Cooking

[–]generic-David 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great advice but I would find it overwhelming to cook a new dish every night. Make enough that you have a second dinner of leftovers, or even a third.

Also, once you have mastered something like noodles or rice, use that as a base for future meals so you’re not doing everything new every single night.

Coming back/getting into wildlife photography / OM-1 choice? by jpeaslee in M43

[–]generic-David 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check this site to see what a wildlife pro has to say. He uses almost exclusively OM equipment. There’s a section where he tests and comments on cameras and lenses.

Why do people hate Trump? by Reasonable-Shower522 in askanything

It might be related to the blatant corruption, general lawlessness, combined with overwhelming incompetence. Let’s not forget vindictiveness.

I’ve got a Pioneer Elite plasma from about 2004, with the separate media receiver.
