I would think an enameled skillet would not provide any extra iron; the glass that the enamel is made of forms a barrier between the iron and everything else. That's nice because you don't have to worry about it rusting any more, but it also means no iron in your food.

I don't think that counts as "commonly known"

I remember thinking that women gave birth to girls and men gave birth to boys, and being really worried because I (as a guy) didn't want to give birth.

Paywall :(

They lost me at what they did to my boy Radagast.

Clearly, people who classify themselves as "poor as dirt" should not be allowed to spend money on anything they consider fun.

Don't use your personal laptop for work. Don't use your work laptop for personal stuff.

Working through the new Guild Wars 2 expansion. Once I'm done with that, it'll probably be back to Baldur's Gate 3, though that might change if it takes me long enough that the new Cyberpunk DLC is out.

I'd much rather have a full peer-to-peer solution like Veilid

Voting on a blockchain is a great way to enable outright purchasing of elections. If I can prove I voted a certain way, I can sell my vote.

If your unsubscribe isn't working, report them to the FTC: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/ If you take want to go the extra mile, report them to their email provider as well. You might be able to get their email shut down, and if their email provider is also their web host provider, maybe their website as well. Providers take CAN-SOAM violations seriously.

I would love to tell you that today things are much easier with Linux and that it's a seamless plug and play experience. And honestly,a lot of the time it is.

But not always. Right now I'm waiting for a live USB to finish flashing so that I can chroot my corrupted GRUB.

Still, at the end of the day it's probably 95% hassle free, and I can play AAA games just fine, without having to deal with Windows pushing me to use Bing on Edge. I understand that's not something a lot of people care about, so carry on. I just get excited about how good Linux is these days and like to share it with people.

It's so frustrating when people think left means BLM and LGBTQIA+ and vaccination. Those things are all great and I support them, but that's not what makes me left: left is about Unions and social safety nets and community welfare and workers seizing the means of production.

Kinda seems like they threw the whole plane out the window of the plane.

For me, federated networks make a lot of sense when you want moderation and admins. Having a lot of little places with centralized control that can all talk to each other is much preferable to having 5 giant shitty walled gardens.

If I'm going to talk to a friend or a small group of friends directly, then I don't feel a need to have a centralized authority in the works, which is why I'd prefer peer-to-peer for that kind of communication.

Those are just my preferences though; good luck with the project, and hack on!

I'm much more excited about Veilid than another server-based thing, even if it's federated servers. Fully peer-to-peer seems like the way to go for direct conversations.

Obsidian is my Scrivener replacement. It's not the same, but it's a great tool that actually gives me more of what I wanted from Scrivener.

Exactly: a large chunk of the time, videos seem to simply be a way to stretch the content that could be a bullet list into a not-easily-parseable mess of content sandwiched into "Hey lovely people.... Don't forget to SMASH that like and subscribe button!"

Sometimes videos are done well, but an annoying number of them are just attempts to monetize fluid content with a lot of padding; they're like the recipe blogs of the video world.

My hunch is that we're seeing an influence campaign by people who own lots of commercial real estate swaying bosses. I don't have any actual info about who owns or has a stake in commercial real estate, but my gut tells me it's likely to be really wealthy businesspeople who a bunch of CEOs probably look up to/play golf with/whatever.
