Hello. I am a single, middle aged man from midwestern United States. Pic is not me.
I now have many cast iron pots and pans. Enameled and bare. And a couple more on the way.
After reading up about non-stick, I’ll never buy it again. I think cast iron is much safer.
And because it is so durable, cast iron is actually a great value, even more so if you buy less expensive brands or used. It truly can be buy it for life.
I wash my hair once a week. For about a day after washing it it is very “flyaway” even though I use shampoo with conditioner. It is much less “flyaway” after my natural oils weigh it down again. Different shampoos / conditioners have different results…YMMV.
ETA: I wear hats often. They do an ok job of holding hair out of your face…better than nothing.
I am a little surprised that no one had created a site like this for child pornography.
I am not a legal expert, but my layman’s understanding of Ashcroft v Free Speech Coalition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcroft_v._Free_Speech_Coalition is that as long as there is no person being harmed by it CSAM is legal.
Maybe later rulings have changed this. One can hope.
I think it is just a matter of time for the disturbing stuff to circulate. If people can create their darkest desires they will.
Then cue debates and political campaigns about AI in general and if we should allow anyone or anything to create depraved images, pronographic or not.
Honestly, wikipedia is an amazing human accomplishment. Almost too much information, really.
I’m not sorry.
Just curious…how expensive?
I’m probably going to over-answer this as I think “out loud” but here goes anyway.
I’ve never done FB because FB is evil. I did sign up once for just long enough to report some kid for being too young to be on FB but that is all I’ve ever done there. It is pretty tempting to sign up for reals, tho because it would be the best way to reconnect with some people I have lost touch with over the years.
I did Reddit for a while, signed up during early COVID. I’ve been off Reddit for a while now and I do miss some of the smaller more niche communities. But overall, Reddit has changed recently for the worse. I’ll still browse /all most days and the content has really gone downhill. Slo-mo car wreck in progress there, I think. Reddit can be fun, but reactions seem wildly random. I think that’s due to there just being a whole fucking lot of ppl there so you never know who will respond to any given comment.
I’ve been on kbin since leaving Reddit and I feel more at home here than on Reddit. More like being in a bar here as opposed to a huge stadium on Reddit. And I’m not in a rush to change that.
I have solar panels on my roof. My employer’s building does not.
I agree.
Time truly is our greatest resource as people and getting some back instead of driving is fantastic.
And between 1978 and 2021, executive compensation at large American companies increased by more than 1,400 percent, the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute said.
This is really the problem. No one can convince me that being a CEO is 1400% more difficult now.
Is deca-yards (decayards?) a word? Centayards?
If not, should they be words?
Chief fatass of the second worst airline in the world said something? And you think I care?
My idea: Buy a big trash can with wheels and a lid that seals. If no wheels then add wheels by strapping it to a hand truck. Add trash until full then empty in dumpster. Small bags into large can then large can into dumpster.
Also, you did not mention recycling. How does that work where you are? Most of my waste goes into recycling.
I appreciate that many older games are still available on Steam either “maintained” as in the article or “remastered”. Someday soon I will buy Total Annihilation…again…on Steam this time.
But I do not understand why games are seen as disposable, temporary media. Sure the latest titles are flashy but there are plenty of fucking awesome older games that are still fun to play. And as physical media disappears it becomes much more important for the gaming industry to stop pulling the ladder up behind themselves. History matters. Old <> bad.
There should be an equivalent to the classic rock stations for video games. I greatly appreciate the efforts of the MAME, archive.org and Mr. Lee to keep the classics alive.

Did you mean ate or do you like wolf stew?
This article, while interesting, seems a bit sensational.
Bottom line for me as an American: Is it a good time to vacay in the Eurozone?
Some of my BIFL:
I seem to lose Swiss Army Knives before they wear out or break. On my 3rd or 4th one now and trying to hang on to it.
I still have my Atari 2600 from when I was a kid. And many more cartridges than I had before. The CRT I played it on still works too.
Various tools like vice grips, hammers, corded drills, table saw, and circular saw.
Bare and enameled cast iron pots and pans.
Several tents. The oldest one is a Coleman Oasis canvas tent I used growing up. HUGE tent - 12’ at the peak and about 12’x12’.
I don’t plan to keep it for life, but I have a wallet from the Buffalo Billfold Company. Bison and very durable. I think mine is the hipster.
