Yep me too unless there’s some reason I can’t.

That’s helpful to know and I’ll defer to your experience. The reason I try not to do it is that when it boils, and the water is dumped out there is a noticeably dull area that seems to allow food to stick if left there.

I’ve been using cast iron for camping and at home too. I don’t bother with the oil/salt. If there is stuck-on or charred food, I just fill the pan with 1/2" of water, turn on the heat, and use a metal spatula to gently scrape off the food. I let the water get close to boiling (but don’t let it boil as it will boil off…

That is a charitable interpretation—in that particular case, the teacher saw my son as a nuisance and nothing more. To be fair, the school system did nobody any favors with the size of the classrooms (28-30).

Don’t let the school put it off. Each year I’d hear, let’s wait six or seven weeks so the teacher can get to know your child. It has the veneer of being helpful, but from experience this means that no meaningful support will be provided to your child until halfway through the school year. We started demanding to meet…

Fair enough, you speak truth.

I do the same thing for my woodworking workshop.  I use (gasp) crocs, which I would never be caught dead in otherwise.

Learned when selling shoes to ask “what type of shoe are you looking for?” instead of “can I help you?”

This is similar to what I do in the office to warm my hands on a regular basis. We have hot water available for coffee/tea, so I just fill a mug with hot water, let it sit a minute, dump it, and then refill it.  I then wrap my hands around it every so often while I’m working.

I wanted to pedantically disagree with this take, pointing out that there’s no way he could run 20 yds left on a regulation football field.

I don’t have much of any opinion of all of this, but people that exploit loopholes to pay people who work for them are garbage humans.

In a food court, our manager used to exchange food with other food court places to get us something to eat. I was at a pizza place and we’d exchange pizzas for Popeye’s, Mark Mosely’s Frankly Fries, and Chinese Food.

We gotta stop with this dude/dudette.  He’s pretty clearly arguing in bad faith and *waaaaay* in the tank for Trump.  Arguing with MAGAhats is pointless--they’re in a cult and can’t escape.

Very Trump of you—accuse others of your own failings.

“I’m going with “Cheap Shot” on this one. You don’t know this to be the case— it’s MUCH more likely that some policy guys pointed out all the Russian Naval activity up there, and suggested that if Putin “Pulls a Crimea” on us we have a problem.”

“It’s all approached from your POV.” Do you... do you actually believe you somehow are the only human exempt from this? 

Riiight, this is certainly isn’t that you can’t distinguish biased reporting from things that disagree with your worldview.... no, it’s ... it’s fake news!
