This is a pretty eat-out-a-lot-and-shop-for-two kind of solution that strikes me as a narrow perspective. I do weekly shopping for a family, we rarely eat out, and I’m a scratch cook that tends to buy staples when they are on sale. So I’m guessing my grocery cart looks a lot different than yours. My seven re-usable…

For U.S. pizza, my brain recognizes Chicago style and New York style. I also recognize Neopolitan style, which kind of sounds to me like what New Haven is claiming as their own (but for the whole “mozzarella is a topping” schtick). I’d say some of D.C.’s better pizza places—All Purpose, Pupatella—are pretty classic…

You get a star for the Escape from New York and Dischord references. I think we can legit claim “mumbo sauce,” but that is basically part of the black culture in DC, so you have that covered already.

I hate duck sauce too. First thing I do when the Chinese delivery arrives is dig through the packets and pitch all the orange ones. ;)

Since 1955?

Not Cottage Inn? Guess they cut rectangular pizza into square pizzas. But I still dream about their spicy Mediterranean pizzas...

Red’s Savoy claims to have been making ‘Sota Style pizza since 1965. Here in the DC area—where, notably, we do not claim a regional style of pizza—we’ve had Ledo’s, which has cut its shitty pizza (I say this because, notwithstanding enjoying it as a kid, last time I had one it was hideously greasy and nasty tasting to…

I’m not sure if there’s a difference between a crumble and a crisp, but I had to recently do a make-up pseudo Thanksgiving dinner and did an Apple Crisp... It was delicious and dead easy. I use 6 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled & sliced. I mix the slices in a bowl with 1/4 C sugar, probably 1T cinnamon and 1T…

The odd thing about the Rhino shield video I posted a link to was that they claimed glass protectors didn’t do a decent job for protecting against impacts to the face of a device. After all this, I’ve decided that my phone will remain naked and I will live with the consequences. Which probably means I will drop it and…

Is “glass screen protector” a screen protector for glass, or is this some screen protector made of a glass composite? If the latter, how thick is it, and does it impair the touch functions? If it was thick, it is possible that the edge that hit was the protector itself. So that could offer some protection. Interesting.

Agreed, but my point is that the majority of screen cracks I’ve seen have been from edge drops. So the whole “save a few hundred dollars” seems undercut significantly.

The OP is about saving yourself from screen cracks with a screen protector—seemingly all by itself. I’m not sanguine that a screen protector by itself will do much in the absence of a case with edge guards.

I wonder about the efficacy of screen protectors for screen breakage. I did find a Rhino shield video comparing its protector to a bunch of glass types that looked like a decent test—notwithstanding what looks like a LEGO-based test set up. But Rhino and similar products seem to work by redirecting the energy radially…

The fact that the price on Amazon has increased 50% since I posted less than 24 hours ago would suggest your comment does not accurately represent the price gouging occurring here.

$4 for a tiny bit of bent metal? It’s like Fisher is actually channeling Apple.

Since I’ve been conflicted by not knowing whether it will be understood I’m cheering the defense’s good work stopping an attack as opposed to cheering a spirited attack by the offense, I’ve just decided to stay quiet.

This must be right because it totally validates when I take my 9yo kid to bed.

There’s no such thing as “food grade” steel, so no different. I thought about it, but the one I bought actually doubles as a stovetop griddle with a grease channel around the edges—even though I’ve got a large Jet milling machine I can use, to do the same thing would have meant I’d have had to go buy a 1/2" ball mill,…

Yeah, I was reading too fast. Although in my defense, it does say under specifications that the product height is 0.51". If it is 0nly 0.14", I think I’d spend 2x and get 2x thick—the whole point is thermal mass, and I don’t think 1/8" steel will get you the results you want. I think mine is 3/8ths, which works well,…

Absolutely—in fact, there’s no “food grade” steel, so you could theoretically go and just get yourself a slab cut at your local metal supplier. I could have done that, and even have access to a large Jet milling machine so I could have finished the edges and milled it superflat, but I still bought one (I do like that…
