My 50 year old Kenwood mixer stays on the counter for one reason only and that’s because it’s too goddamn heavy to be lifting back and forth. Also I sometimes get inspired to bake just from seeing it on the counter, which is a nice plus.

I prefer carbon steel cubes myself but cast iron is nice too.

I don’t even remember the last time I seasoned mine. Definitely not even once a year.

Yeah the durability is the greatest thing. I can use metal spatulas and scrape away. No need to baby it, it’s literally a hunk of metal. I don’t even give a shit how the seasoning looks anymore, if food doesn’t stick badly it’s all good.

You don’t need any special equipment. Chain mail is useful to have in general though (not just for cast iron), but not mandatory.

Imo pans just take too much space in the dishwasher so I’ll just wash them immediately after use. Takes like 30 seconds because the pan still being hot helps immensely. After drying I like to oil them, just because I like how they look oiled, literally no other reason.

I prefer to have all 3: stainless, cast iron and carbon steel. Personally I have a carbon steel wok that does double duty as a frying pan.

And those have taken over all the damn tv remotes. I designed and 3D printed a replacement faceplate for my Samsung tv’s remote that hides them, out of retaliation (they were in a spot where I accidentally hit the netflix button when trying to pause what I was watching, which was annoying af).

I really don’t understand why anyone feels the need to hate on a desktop environment. It’s not like on windows or mac where it is what it is and you’re stuck with it. If you don’t like it, just shut up and switch to something else (unless you like your de overall but have some improvements in mind of course, no reason to shut up for that).

And lemmy user for good measure

😂😂😂

Eh, I’m quite a big fan of linux, but having Linux mentioned under almost literally every post here feels tiring 😅. Yes I use linux but no I don’t want to constantly talk and think about my choice of operating system.

Feels like switching to Linux solves all your life problems according to people here.

My gf doesn’t like me anymore. Have you tried switching to Linux?

My bathroom door squeaks when opened. Have you tried switching to Linux?

I have bad diarrhea. Have you tried switching to Linux?

Addicted to caffeine and sugar at the same time.

Yeah it’s unfortunate that a few bad Apples have to ruin it for everyone 😅.

I have been screwed a time or two, but honestly, most of the time I’ve had a pretty good experience dealing with Chinese sellers. Of course that’s partly because I choose who I buy from carefully, as yeah there are a lot of scanners out there. I’ve also been scammed by local people and I think it’s important to not immediately judge people based on where they are from.

I’m pretty sure the reason there are so many scammers in china, is because of the amount of poor and desperate people there, and the fact that the situation has been like that for so long, is the reason it seems to have now been ingrained in their culture. There’s a huge amount of scammers in other poor countries like india as well.

Yes there is. You can just make another account for yourself and add it to the family, then use it to cheat. That’s the reason why they have to ban both.

As a former child, yeah, but it’s not always that easy.

This feels like a personal attack lol.

Someone actually uses those?

Probably at least one big reason is that most non techy people switched to laptops which can be used anywhere, so no reason to have a huge computer desk taking space anymore when the dining table or sofa is good enough.
