I get the impression it’s more like — Yes, that’s exactly the answer. Now we just need a 500 man engineering team to figure out how to squeeze the new plumbing, pumps, tanks, intakes, outlets, redundant systems... Into an already incredibly complex and tight-packed machine.

My “statistical bullshit” is significant because there are risks everywhere. Everything carries a danger. Getting the kids out of the car and walking them across the parking lot adds danger. Going into the store can be dangerous. Leaving them home can expose them to a threat. Hell, lightning could strike them down.

Sometime after they get their own licenses if you believe some of the craziness I’ve heard from busybodies.

I’m sorry that you grew up in an environment where child abductions were common enough that they were a genuine threat to leaving your child in a car. Fortunately this article is targeted at America (mentioning in case the author’s nationality, blog’s headquarters, or national tilt to each and every one of the…

Of course. That’s an anecdote agreeing with the well researched article that proposes social policy.

Apple is already the wealthiest corporation in modern era’s history.

Probably be dismissed as Apple hate, but I genuinely don’t see the “good fit.” Apple has broken into “new” businesses that are very tightly connected to their existing ecosystem. It’s all media and devices to consume media, and all the hardware is in the consumer electronics space. And sure, they’re a strong player in…

Well... Every other product you name are obvious parts of their ecosystem. Services to sell you media and devices that can exclusively consume that media in as many ways as possible - Every example you named was a logical extension of their business, once they started selling stuff in iTunes and the App Store. Cars,…

Cyanogenmod 12 has this baked in, and it works fairly well. The “attention” detection seems a bit sensitive. If I have my phone on a table, vibration easily triggers the glimpse function, but it really is low key and subtle - barely enabled backlight, greyscale rendering of your lockscreen with notifications. Picking…

Guesswork - Chrome’s a big project with teams and goals and etc etc etc. Google’s got a long history of “20% time” and small projects (All the “Labs” stuff) created on an employee whim. Sometimes they migrate into bigger, more official things.

Lucked into an 80s vintage Braun immersion blender for free.. Very handy, plus the nice slick Braun styling. Caveat - Definitely not an upright blender replacement, for me. Handy for whipping up a recipe quick - mixing a drink, blending a dressing or marinade. That 5 minute artisan bread book suggested it for…

Ah, missed the layer going up the side - Nice catch. I’ve already noticed a tendency to more burning / sticking on the walls of my stainless at higher heat settings. Of course, that’s probably partly the gas burner too, spilling heat out and up.

Cookware construction does make a difference.

I’m with you on everything but the nonstick and the coated cast iron.. Personal preference. Never needed better non stick properties than my “naked” cast iron.. Though I freely admit I’ve done my work to get the cast iron nonstick enough that I can scrape out and rinse even scrambled eggs with no scrubbing. I trade…

So if I’ve already got stainless cookware with encapsulated aluminum bottoms that I’m satisfied with.. No value for me.

That’s a good value endorsement, and something to keep in mind. It’s part of why I love my cast iron so much. Thanks.

I’m not really in the market right now for a new pan.. But if I were, anyone feel like giving me an honest rundown of why I’d pick this over my existing Hamilton Beach stainless, my cast iron, or my carbon steel?

Same rules apply, but it’s a rapidly expanding hobby — New members need reminders of the old rules.

You need the lighting behind the TV while watching - Room light is optional. More room light means less need for the back lighting, even - It’s just that many people watch TV/Movies in darker rooms, so the bias lighting is beneficial.

That wooden apron might as well be open air as far as small rodents are concerned. If they decide the shed is a good place to be, they'll go straight through it.
