Indeed. The scariest concept in the world isn’t someone that hates you and wants you dead. It’s something that views you as protein.
What? There's no such thing. There won't be any of the disk left over on the pan after your done grinding. And you clean the pan before seasoning it. And seasoning it will burn away/encapsulate anything left over. Stop being such a worry wart.

Well, you don't use it to cut the handle off.

You grind the bottom of the pan smooth. Isn't that obvious? I guess not, apparently. But it seems like it should be.

Problem is that there's no guarantee that twitter won't apply lossy transformations to your data (in fact, it's guaranteed that it does). So either you would have to encode the data with lots of redundancy and/or error correction, or you have to encode in like, QR code or something similar, and rely on image recognition to extract it.

Inside the range of characters support by twitter, your data is "guaranteed" to not change

>Watch this documentary, "The Devil We Know" (About the history and toxicity of teflon.

Sorry, but I'm not going to watch a 95 minute documentary on a whim. Based on the wikipedia summary, it doesn't seem to contradict what I said, specifically

>regarding allegations of health hazards from perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, also known as C8), a key ingredient used in manufacturing Teflon

I specifically mentioned in my last comment that they were "poisonous during manufacturing ".
“ Cannabis is involved in approximately 50% of psychosis, schizophrenia, and schizophreniform psychosis cases. Thats significant, wouldn't you say?”

Maybe, maybe not. Nicotine was (is?) a very common self-medication for schizophrenia. So much so that it became a trope in movies, etc (e.g. “Clean, Shaven”). If a majority of people with schizophrenia smoked cigarettes, would we argue that nicotine is implicated in the development of that condition?

My instinct is certainly that you’re right, but the direction of causality could simply be backwards too.
I didn't want to get in an argument with with you because you seem to presume A LOT. So much "we" and "people" in your posts. This is one of the reasons your take frustrated me as much as it did. Mid 20s, still high on hormons?

The way you argue is pointing out things that you do, and applying said behaviours to everyone else, or at least the the people on this site. Again, very frustrating.

I, for one, do not drive a car. Nor does my wife. We only use our tiny - by your US standards - every few months, and just for a few hundred kilometers. So yeah, you don't get to tell me how much I pollute or waste because you don't know me. I didn't say anything about cars until now but I hate almost everything them and especially the people who "can't imagine life without" them.

Your initial post was a really bad take. At least admit to that. My response was a shit one. See, if I can take some responsibility, so can you

> throwing away a cartridge "produces more waste" than throwing away a razor blade alone, which may be true, but the difference between them seems like a trivial amount

Trying to do approximate math for this is difficult and the difference seems small but greater than trivial. The larger point raised by the author is that the more packaging, dyes, adverts, etc. that a product has associated with it, the more likely a consumer is to buy it(??), and each step of the marketing-to-consumer pipeline costs more environmentally and energetically.

This is not a condemnation of advertising or marketing. In order to sell an environmentally-conscious product, you still need to sell the product.

It might seem impossible but there probably are long-term solutions to much of consumer waste. We aren't even really trying that hard overall to cut down on this and amazon et al are world leaders in packaging and return waste. There might not be easy answers but even partially solving the consumer packaging problem would cut down on landfill/recycling use.

It's a good thought exercise to imagine how you would sell razor blades without any packaging.
If you are making eggs in a Teflon pan without butter, I don't want any.
This post sounds a bit like an ad but i havn't looked back from the phillips oneblade. Its cheap, can be used wet or dry and cost like £30 and its the first razor that actually manages to remove the hairs on my neck effectively, only have to replace the blades every 6 months...
It's always been like that, from Dr. Roberts in New York to people flying to South America and paying for ayahuasca trips.

At regular cooking temps, the chemicals still leach into the food. Also, you should throw a teflon pan out if it has a single scratch, since it leaches much more rapidly after that.
The acidity level you want would change with each dish, and with each person eating it. So technically, yeah, but it's not gonna really do one any good unless you know you love X dish at Y pH.

But to learn what pH you like in a dish, you'd have to taste test it yourself, using a spoon and your tongue. And what if maybe tonight you don't want as much lime? Or more?

> It is, however, hard to find these sorts of razors. If you go into a shop to buy a razor, you will almost certainly not be able to buy one - but you will be faced with a wide range of very similar cartridge razors. The double edged razor has become a product that you can only buy on the internet, and which you will only buy if you know that it exists.

So... I did buy mine off amazon; but that was mostly due to living in the rural areas where there wasn't much for shopping choices to begin with. With that in mind, consider this.

I was still able to find double edged stuff at the local store now and then too, but it was generally a Christmas gift item, and stuff like that. Or tucked away in the top corner of the bathroom section, where only the old fella from the early 1900's might be interested in looking for some Dapper Dan or something like that.

I can even find them in some stores like... I think it was Shopper drug mart?

But all in all, just going on amazon and typing "Double edge razor" or "Single blade razor" is generally enough to find what you are looking for and have in on hand in 3 days or less usually.

For context, I am in Canada. So this might be more of a thing for us here in Canada what with being able to find this stuff without having to go to a specialty store for it, like those fancy beard barber shops.

Moving goalposts is fine, and I speak as the opposite of an AI skeptic, thinking as I do that it's 70% likely general AI is invented in the next 15 years. You move the goalposts when you discover that the goal you set didn't match what you were trying to achieve.

I think that it's now possible to give goals that you know you probably won't have to change, but those goals, by their nature, are worse metrics for current research. One example would be that the AI should learn in response to human instruction by text, video and audio, as well and as fast as a human being does with the same access to that instructor, across a variety of tasks. This would be something like "online multi-modal few-shot learning" in the current jargon, and you can see that most research isn't really working on it – probably because it's still really hard to get good results. But there's not much hope of solving the harder problems without solving the easier sub-problems first.
>Nonstick pans contain hormone disrupting chemicals

Again, is this during manufacture or in the finished product? In my comment I specifically said it was poisonous during manufacture.

>Just google it and there are numerous resources

I checked on wikipedia and I found no mentions of that in the finished product.
Yes. It was great while it lasted. It was a 'sre/devops' team that had a supposed manager that had no impact (positive or negative) on the team. I say "while it lasted" because it's not sustainable. At some point you need someone to step in an separate two ego maniacs who have almost come to blows over difference of opinion. And you need to have some plan to grow the team (headcount and individual careers) or the happy-go-lucky sre/devops team that builds all the stuff and puts out all the fires get fucked in the IPO and wonder where all their money is. "It isn't! You see, you're only an L3! How did you not know that?" "Well, because when they brought in levels, I assumed mine would line up with the hiring rubric for levels - and I make my impact on the company L6. I suppose I never checked, and nobody officially communicated it to me. I was head-down working on important stuff and loving my work". "Yeah, well they put you as a L3, and our team didn't have a manager who hired people or went through promotions (or any of that boring stuff)".

Edit: I will say though - having no manager is better than having a shit manager. I've had so many of those, that I still look back at ^ that situation (until the dream ended) with fondness. We built some great stuff and worked well together.
I don't think the taboo of eugenics has any particular durability to it. I think it'll flip rather quickly. You'll get places like Eastern Europe, Russia, and China doing it and all of a sudden we'll have to do it to in order to 'remain competitive'.

Weaponizing drones was taboo for about a nanosecond, now we can look forward to a future WWIII with flying robots raining down death from above, all because it was more convenient at the time.
"We" is our society and laws and common discussion topics and social mores, etc.

Let's keep on using the "creepy" adjective here, because I think I applies especially to this comment, even more than the prior one.

Who sets the laws for how buildings are built and whether we have to drive or not? Local communities (at least in the US). So people can get involved, change what is legal and not legal to build, and advocate for it on the local level.

That's what I have been doing for the last five or so years. And what I find realt creepy about the experience is how people will go out of their way to criticize others for small, meaningless actions like reducing single waste plastic, but go ballistic at the idea that we should allow some people to live in a way that doesn't force them to drive every single day and for every trip out of the house.

> People drive not because they want to, but because they have to.

If that is the case, then why don't they make their voices heard? I certainly don't hear anybody voicing that when we do have a chance to allow communities to be built that don't force driving. Instead I head person after person after person demanding that housing and mixed use communities be banned.

At one of the meetings I was at, trying to advocate for a mixed use building, some commenter mentioned an aside of having all single use drinking containers have a tax. None, not a single one, of the board members expressed enthusiasm for this mixed use building that, as a single building, would have far bigger impact than banning all single use cups in the city. But boy did the board take up the idea of taxing single use containers, and not two years later we have a $0.25 charge when you get a to go cup at a coffee shop, but we still have a huuuuuuuuuge fight over every single bit of environment saving buildings.

> Criticizing that is a highly privileged take.

That's utter BS, and a commonly used dodge by people who don't want any change. Of course we can criticize a system, particularly as we change it. Saying that it's "privileged" to point out that people are forced to drive, which is what I said, is utter nonsense. And frankly, extremely creepy.

People are really creepy about cars. They will excuse them, apologize for them, ignore all the damage they do, and even criticize people that point out these massive flaws, before people will admit that maybe we should st least let some people live without them.
You can also see it as an example of the author's point. New cast iron pans are subtly worse than vintage ones and people don't know about it.
> In order to prove you weren't a Communist, you had to be the most Capitalistic, which made it very easy to hide the difference between the Main Street capitalism of small and medium businesses and multinational, monopolistic, crony-Capitalism.

This point is dreadfully under appreciated, and heavily exploited for political and business purposes.

The US Chamber of Commerce does not have the interest of small businesses at heart and, despite the name is nothing at all like your local town’s chamber of commerce. Yet when someone says “business” the local restaurant and Exxon are considered the same.

Perhaps we can call this a "Considered State" system. No more haphazardly rearranging bytes on your drive. Managed OS objects, linked at boot and your home dir / config dirs under VCS.

I use nixos with zfs on /home, /nix and /persist. Everything else is tmpfs, including /etc. Mostly you can configure applications to read config from /persist, but when not, a bind mount from /etc/whatever to /persist/whatever works pretty well.

I always found the plastic argument in teflon vs cast iron a bit weak. Its health risks are well documented at this point. But the seasoning on a cast iron? That is polymerized fats... One might even go so far as to call it plastic. I am told the seasoning is also a carcinogen and in my experience more likely to be ingested than Teflon from a pan (getting a good seasoning that lasts on a pan can be tough!).

FWIW I shrug and use my cast iron.

Or just get a super automatic espresso machine. More convenient than a Nespresso, better taste, essentially zero waste. Higher initial investment (~300 EUR), lower running costs.
That is the best price/quality approach. However, if you love frothed milk a good little $200 espresso machine is good. And of course learning to make your own espresso is a fun little hobby, too. I have a strange fetish for Illy capaccino cups. My kids particularly love frothed chocolate milk! (What's really cool is that the chocolate milk can easily triple in volume, so the kids think they're drinking much more hot chocolate than they really are.) Try doing that in a French press!
Maybe it’s the cheaper pans. I’ve had multiple that just start to “dry” and flake eventually
It might be the pan but I tried to fry eggs on stainless and it was a horror movie. Even polished the pan as it had a lot of cleaning scratches and it was even worse. I seasoned it and it was better but still you have to use the right oil. Used olive oil and it stained the pan.

If you clean shave your face, then a safety razor is probably better as it's easier to glide along a large distance across your face. For me, a straight edge razor allows me to shape my beard better. I do cut myself pretty much every time (since the hairs on my neck go in a million different directions), but that's easily addressed by showering right after a shave + after shave cream. The cost benefits over a safety can't be overstated: the razor is a cheap one-time cost ($13 off Amazon at the time, you don't really need a "high quality" razor IMO), blades are single use but super cheap ($15 ish for 100 blades), and since I shave at most weekly I only have to buy blades once every few _years_. As always YMMV depending on your facial hair style.

A really nice list, thanks a lot for sharing! :)

I'd add this when a filesystem gets almost full (but not overfilled, see below). This shows where most of the space goes:

# du -axm / | sort -n | tail # takes a while on large filesystems, or ones with lots of files

Then narrow down for each of the most filled directories:

# du -axm /some/dir | sort -n | tail # subsequent searches are fast, now that metadata is cached.

In case there is no space at all, sort will complain if the /tmp directory is on the same fs, then the only option is to search any suspect directories with du -sm $dir

And about this one: https://github.com/onceupon/Bash-Oneliner#using-ctrl-keys

A bit surprised that the Ctrl+b(ack one...) and Ctrl+f(orward one char) shortcuts are not included.

As well as their Alt+b/f for a word back/forward too. Very convenient for going through a long command by getting in the beginning or the end of the line, then move words back/forth to update it.
Norelco (Phillips) electric shaver user here. I'm in my 70's and have used them all my life. Got the habit from my dad, who sold them in his store and used them all his life too. Not as close as a blade, but much more comfortable to use, quicker, and less mess. Don't need a sink or a towel, shaving cream, blades. You do have to replace the heads once a year or so, so they're not super cheap, but they're way, way more convenient.
Google used to be great at exactly that.
Option 3: You are obviously wrong. Take a tally of all the pollution you create in a week, and you'll probably find that plastic waste from the kitchen is rounding error.

Let's take a step back now that I have more time to respond. There are 3 claims that have been made in this thread (not all by you) that I'd like to talk about:

1. "focusing solely on your own income is too short-sighted. As the price of everything is dictated by the collective market (ie other market participants who also have disposable income). If you don't acknowledge this, then there's potential for you to be priced out of markets even if your income is growing, but growing slower relative to everyone else."

2. Redistribution can always increase median income when the average income is higher and we should redistribute to increase utility for this reason.

3. Recessions can be good because they decrease wealth inequality.

On your point #1, my claim is that the fact that I am citing real income directly addresses this point - people's incomes are rising even when you account for markets getting more crowded and people bidding up the price of goods. You say: "no, it doesn't account for point #2", which I agree with - I wasn't intending on responding to that point.

On your point #2 - this is one one where I mostly (although not fully) agree with you. Obviously there is no disputing the point around mean and median in the short term: that's just basic math. The issue is that there is no such thing as a "lump sum" transfer in a vacuum. If we could immediately do a transfer like the one you are suggesting without a shift in behavior, we absolutely should do it. But transfers impact expectations.

It is telling that you have picked land in Manhattan as an example since the supply is fixed so the effects I'm discussing don't play in - but for most goods and services people enjoy, the supply is not fixed despite your assertions. The US economy doubles in real output roughly every ~35 years or so (this may be slowing, ofc).

If you do a lump sum transfer to increase median income = average income, you will lessen supply in the future, causing a decrease in real incomes (supply-push inflation, as well as just economic downturn). Which brings us to point #3:

>>...or structure policy such that supply increases?
> You could. But how does that refute anything I stated?

This is my response to point #3 which was the original point I was disagreeing with. In a recession where supply decreases, that makes everyone worse off - there are fewer goods for dollars to competing over, nominal income typically drops, etc. etc. There is no redistribution happening here - everyone is becoming poorer.

It even makes the point you are making worse - if the average income/wealth is dropping faster than the median income in a recession (which is the point the original commentator was making), then the upside from redistribution only lessens. ie. if the rich are materially worse off, there is less to redistribute from them to the poor.
