We've had our Lodge cast iron pans for a year now and they have replaced all our other pans as our "go-to" cooking implements. I have been nothing but pleased with them.

Yes, it is pretty terrible. Some days I have to just pass on articles like this one, because I know that reading all the chirpy comments about how great polyamory is, how poly people are all so honest and sweet and enlightened, etc. will just be like a massive stab wound to the heart.
By the way, I am totally following you on Kinja now, because you seem awesome.
Yeah, polyamory is totally the new veganism, complete with the smug side-eye about everyone else's personal choices. It's an incredibly irritating behavior no matter what it's about - sex, food, religion, whatever.
I am actually a female Rush fan. :-)

Seriously. I wish I could star this comment like 8000 times.
That totally happened to me on a job search a couple of years ago. I met 95% of the basic requirements for the position as advertised. As part of the application process, I had to do a checklist at the very end, after I had already uploaded and filled in etc etc etc for an hour, and I didn't check a box for one random…
A general, very applied high school course on the scientific method and using critical thinking skills to evaluate information would go a long way towards helping people deal with the kinds of topics you mention here, without ever having to sit through World History 1, 2, and 3.
This is all true, but the average person needs to know how to change a flat tire and not get ripped off by the mechanic. Taking Physics 101 will not assist them with those very concrete life needs.
Word to all of this. I have a Ph.D., and hand to God, the only truly useful class I ever took outside of grad school was typing, in high school. If I were Empress of the Universe and could develop a universal high school curriculum, it would consist of 25% academics, and 75% useful life-relevant classes, like, "How to…
Awwwww. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!
I often like to taunt my northern friends with my Floridian weather. Since the state is basically one big punchline to a national joke (cf. "crocodile infested meth emporium"), the nice weather is the only thing we can really be proud of and I'm going to milk it for all it's worth.
WATCH you play? Oh hell no. I have better things to do with my life than watch a dude play a video game. For example, I might want to play GTA5 myself. What a fucking douchebag.
Same here - super low blood pressure, a salt tooth instead of a sweet tooth, and I never watch my sodium intake. If I stopped eating all the salt I eat, I would faint dead away every time I had to get up from a chair.
Dear NYT:
For a long time both of us viewed cooking as a hateful chore that we had to get through. We have (slowly) managed to adjust our attitudes over time and now view it as quality time we get to spend doing something productive for our life together. My husband calls stuff like this "marriaging", as in, "marriage isn't a…
I was on a camping trip in the Verde Valley of Arizona, and we laid our sleeping bags out on an elevated concrete slab that was next to a hot spring. The next morning I went to roll up my bag, lifted up my pillow, and there was a bark scorpion (the really poisonous kind) hanging out UNDER MY PILLOW.
We cook at home 5-6 days a week, and try to keep cook/prep time to under 45 minutes (under 30 minutes preferred). I would never spend 4 hours cooking a meal, unless it was an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner for 12 people or something. We cooked a very fancy several-course Valentine's Day meal at home, and it took 1.5…
I have a Miata. I had been driving a manual transmission for 10+ years when I bought it, and I *still* stalled it about 15 times in the first week. Miata transmissions are definitely some of the touchiest around. I definitely consider the trait to be a theft deterrent. :-)
