Phenolic is plastic. Heat resistant plastic, but plastic.

“having to season them after every use.”

Most folks I know would say that leaving the bottle unfinished is not an option.

Over 30mph cars use more energy moving the air out of the way than overcoming rolling resistance, so unless you are designing golf carts, wind resistance is the biggest factor in range for both ICE and electric cars.

It all comes down to gambling.

Don’t use soap. scrub them out with a stainless scrubby and rinse them off. Heat them up or dry them after rinsing. Don’t cook acidy things like tomato sauce in them for a long time, it eats away at the coating.

Nonstick pans are a scam. No matter how gently you treat them they are done in less than a couple of years. Cast iron on the other hand lasts forever, and gets more nonstick the more you use it.

I nearly always microwave my potatoes (add 90 sec per medium potato) before finishing them in the pan or better yet roasting in the oven. It cuts the cooking time by 2/3 and has no ill effects on texture or flavor. Just make sure you cut them after microwaving. They can get rubbery otherwise. It also works great for…

Pretty much exactly the same as every other no-knead recipe.

I have been doing this since the 70’s, and have recently modified it to add the pasta as the water is heating, so the cooking time is even less.

Ikea bags for grocery shopping!

I have standardized my storage needs on 16 and 32 oz deli-tainers from Amazon, which are cheap and use the same size lid.. It has been a huge improvement in efficiency. I am not sure if they are BPA Free. One bonus is if they get too nasty, I just recycle them without guilt.

This is really great for when you are hiding from zombies and you see your baby is about to scream and get you all killed.

I have a 4th way that I have used since the 70’s. I bring water to a boil, then add pasta, then as soon as the water comes to a second boil I turn off the heat, dump in pasta and stir, and let it soak in the covered pot for about 10-15 min depending on pasta thickness. Uses less power and no chance of boiling over and…

Homeowning is virtually the only way that people not making lots of money can get ahead. We bought a $79k apt in Miami Beach in 2000 ($440/mo mortgage), by the time we sold it in 2014 it was worth $205k, and several times over the years it had been worth over $300k, but we didn’t want to move.

That is so cute how she is growing to be just as ignorant and detestable as her mom.

If they want more conservative teachers, they should advocate for teachers to be paid more. This would attract the conservatives who naturally tend to choose better paying jobs than the liberal scum who just care about improving the world.

“Nuclear power (which is equal to wind or solar in how it effects the environment, but is actually an efficient energy solution)“

I’m not sure that Trump’s image is much better than Bernie’s, except for his suits.

Yeah, I am sure Trump had to restrain himself from saying : “You mean except on 9/11, right?”
