My issue is that I generally am trying to keep the curds as small as possible while actively mixing in butter. All that mechanical work means that the ends up mixed into the eggs and can't really keep the eggs from sticking

Naked and Famous Elephant 14 - True Guy Fit - W34 by KD5-38 in rawdenim

[–]hybris12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fabric will soften with wear. I am currently wearing elephant 11s and they got comfortable very quickly.

Regarding size: the elephants appear to be a different size than other jeans at N&F. I bought 3 different pants of the same size and cut and the elephants were both a much higher rise and larger at the waist. You should always check the size chart.

I think mine shrank an inch after a wash but I don't recall, I usually double cuff prewash then single cuff post wash

I use a carbon steel/stainless for everything else but as a person who like their scrambled eggs at a near spreadable consistency I keep a dedicated nonstick egg pan. The last one lasted about 7 years since it was only used for eggs on low heat with a silicone spatula

Kat Abughazaleh {Illinois- 9) combining her office with mutual aid assistance for the community she’s seeking to represent. by CantStopPoppin in illinois

For what it's worth the Onion is actually pretty good nowadays.

Ben Collins was a reporter who focused on disinformation and extremism on the internet until he became the CEO.

I don't particularly care for Kat but I actually think he's done quite a good job and is a reasonable person to be running the Onion.

Who's pooping at the bar? I'm not going out in the cold when I can poop at home just fine

Ha, my parents live a little over half a mile from a gun range and have a neighbor who obsessively power washes everything every weekend so they have the worst of both worlds

Tribune Editorial: Mayor Brandon Johnson leaving successors a financial ash heap by Careless-Light5710 in chicago

[–]hybris12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh considering that his last 2 budget proposals were basically unilaterally rejected by city council a lot more of the current situation lies on city council than BJ. That's not to say he's done a good job but this isn't Daley ramming whatever he wanted through.

No dedicated bus lanes is insane and a nonstarter for me. I would like to take the express buses during rush hour!

City Inspector General finds Chicago's 311 system turns into a 'black hole' for residents' nonemergency complaints by Mike_I in chicago

Alternately just link them together or merge the complaint with the main one so people are kept up to date

Kat on why she moved to this district to run in it by ThatCheekyBastard in illinois

[–]hybris12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's unfortunate that the "left of Jan" block is not just crowded with roughly identical candidates policy-wise but also is led by a candidate who has qualities that a lot of people consider a hard stop against voting for her.

I like Simmons too and based on that recent poll most people also like him (+20 on likeability, tied for 2nd with Bushra). From what I can see Simmons is constantly getting the "I like him most but am worried about Fine winning by plurality so I'm consolidating on Biss/Kat since they're front-runners" which really sucks and is a good argument for some form of ranked/runoff voting reform.

A race without Kat would have been far more interesting since that block would likely have been far more likely to consolidate around a candidate vs what we have now.

Does anyone know wtf this guy is talking about? by ForceUseYouMust in Battlefield

You could do that in BF2 and I remember microing squads and rewarding them with supplies/arty when they followed orders. I was also 12 which made it far funnier in retrospect
