It also absorbs oil like crazy, so you have to be careful and when and how you introduce fats.

You would probably also want to wear a mask to keep from breathing metal powder. Eye protection as well!

Nah, Quebec’s cool. They know how to throw a good rager.

True!
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 5 weeks ago:
Taxing wealth strikes me as like trying to scoop out the ocean. We have to recreate beaver dams and restore the metaphorical flood plains. Spread out and soak in. The water table is going down and the land is subsiding; moving some water isn’t enough.

“Golden 80” is a pretty common formula here. Service plus age. 70 is pretty crazy.

Definitely the kind of thing you want to have sorted out beforehand.

10 years without being oiled, i guess. The leather would dessicate, maybe?

The USA has stretched ‘technically not torture’ too far for that to be comforting.
- Comment on is our battery/junk drawer dangerous? 1 month ago:
I use jars small enough that they are physically unable to do so.
- Comment on is our battery/junk drawer dangerous? 1 month ago:
Dunno if it helps but I put batteries in glass jars. Keeps them from getting contacted by metal things, keeps the leaks contained.
- Comment on "If you can't afford to tip 40%, then don't eat out" 1 month ago:
I tip 0% at places where I go to the counter, order, wait, pay, and retrieve my food. That is a base level expectation, not a service or a favour.
It helps that we don’t have a ‘tipping wage’ anymore.

- Comment on baby blues 2 months ago:
A “school bus” can be a local mini that’s like 8-10?m long, or a medium like 15-metre one. A “school bus” (as it would be near me) can also be an articulated main route bus that has three high schools and a major university on both ends of the corridor, at like 30 metres long.
Ditto pizzas. A “large” is such an arbitrary measurement.

It’s not super difficult to make. Basically eggnog.
My stepmother make advocaat with (shudder) vanilla pudding mix and gin. It’s an abomination, but it’ll get you plastered pretty fast and it has the right consistency.
