Nah, you’ve definitely got an empathy problem. Here’s just one perspective:

Your views on food sourcing are one thing, but your perspective that “everybody would have enough time to cook, just like me, if they weren’t so lazy and wasteful and uncreative!” is just outright bullshit.

There’s no “knowing how to deal with” mother nature. She wins. Always.

Hmm, I misread your comment as referring to drivers on the beltway more generally. In fairness to myself, “driving a few inches from each other at speed” applies in that case as well.

It’s almost as if you get more snow in NE Ohio than we do in DC!

Spend hundreds of dollars on something you’ll need once or twice a year at most!

Mr. Ballaban: You are, with all due respect, full of shit.

I’ve often wondered about this. Further: Why are so many grocery stores named after animals? Piggly Wiggly, Food Lion, Giant Eagle, Big Bear (RIP)...

It does that, too. TJ’s ginger beer always sells out in no time. Though that’s true of a lot of their seasonal products.

Needs moar hairy chest.

I honestly can’t tell if this is satire or if you really are just this paranoid.

We have droughts because people are selfish.

I never tested the light to see if it was working or not.

For all intents and purposes: you lied.

The Q&A mentions of the metal shards are kinda scary though...have you ever experienced anything like that?

For only $20 more, this truly excellent *set* is a much, much better value than the All Clad pan.

It would appear that the “backdoor” you refer to does not affect this model. (Do your homework?)

I second this nomination—it’s an excellent set, and the quality is unbelievable for the price.

The difference between cheap stuff and tri-ply clad truly is night and day. Walmart has a Tramontina tri-ply clad 12” frying pan for $50. Costco has the same in a 10” for $36. Just make sure you grab a clad pan, which has a seamless look, as opposed to one where the base is separate from the pan; the latter heats…

You know, as far as nonstick pans go I actually really like the SKÄNKA series from IKEA.
