So, this is somewhat of an irksome idea to me. My stainless steel pans would also be just fine buried in dirt for years, and you could just scrub them with heavy steel wool and or toss them in your dishwasher with no problem. Likely the same for ceramic. This isn’t the flex that most cast iron folks think it is. Note that I have a couple very nice cast iron pans that I love, but they certainly are more of a pain to use. I’ve never cracked a steel pan, but I have tried to rinse a cast too quickly and it was gone for good.

I did an air commute with, weekends at home and weekdays on-site at an apartment. I flew with my phone, headphones and wallet only as my key got hidden in my beater car-bumper. Never had a second glance at TSA.

If you want more coastline, all you have to do is measure with more accuracy.

Mine too. It’s kinda sad.

Yep, chat/slack and email too.

I feel a little cramped for space with 4 monitors these days. 6 is actually my preferred setup, but I don’t have the desk space for it.

I was driving through rural Tennessee today and I’m pretty sure I saw him at a gas station.

It’s so pervasive that they have found it in the bodies of every single child worldwide.

These are objective facts as opposed to random ravings of lunatics. Remember that Fox News’ own lawyers claim that it’s not actually news but rather is entertainment only.

Twitter was a vapid load of crap before Elmo took it over. I see this as a win if it knocks him down a peg or 44 billion.

Right, but stick with me here... what if they could make MORE money? All they need to do is stop requiring them to clean out the lead in the toxic waste that they dump on their worker's towns and the owners can put that money into another vacation house.

Or corporations who want to have a say. BP Oil will happily drop off a shipping container of cash at a "volunteer's" house if it means that they eliminate inspections of oil platforms in the gulf.

Corporations will be stumbling over themselves to insert HIGHLY paid people into these positions.

These are the people that invented automation. Why do a job when you can have a machine do it for you?

Or, as another commenter pointed out, because their corporate bosses are paying gobs of money to them to 'volunteer' for these positions.

I hadn't thought of that, but this is 100% exactly what will happen. BP oil will surely pay someone VERY handsomely to 'volunteer' 80 hours a week toward eliminating all oversight of drilling rigs in the gulf.

It was less about the .99 pricing and more about "Sale" pricing and 'coupons'. Retailers will put a pair of pants on "Sale" for 50% off 51 weeks out of the year and people think they're getting a great deal whereas when it's not half off, they just don't buy.

Seriously, older than the internet.

This happens once in a while with my washer as well. My determination is that it starts to spin and is so far out of balance that it has to refill and swirl the clothes around a bit, then drain it to hopefully get a more even balance of mass so that it can properly spin. It's much worse when there are large items, like a blanket that tend to lump on one side.
