Do you have recommendations for seasoning them without a thermostat or a suitable thermometer? I successfully burned my new cast-iron skillet clean, but even after four thin coats of poppyseed and flaxseed oil, each heated up for an hour or so to a temperature that chars garlic skin after a few minutes, eggs still stick if I try to cook them on it without oil.

And on top of this we are seeing scary trends emerge on TikTok: they are able to mobilize youth into anti-social activities like stealing cars or creating weapons. All they have is a small notice at top of the videos with a disclaimer.

ex) Kiaboyz wreaking havoc in Columbus as videos of stealing Kia/Hyundai cars went viral on TikTok

Suffice to say that the bar isn't very high in America. This type of video would never catch on in places like Japan or Switzerland.
For god's sake why? What's the "problem" you'd be trying to solve with that regulatory nightmare of rules you claim to want? If someone renders a completely invented AI image and uses it for whatever they like, or if businesses and media use these creations of their own for all sorts of commercial purposes, who should care and why should punishment be involved?
In San Diego, we get to choose whether we want to opt into the time-of-use pricing, or whether you want to pay based on the traditional flat-rate tiered pricing (where your monthly consumption is compared with your neighbors to determine your price per kilowatt).

PTFE goes out unchanged from how it was when it went in. It's completely inert. It's even used in implants, so has plenty of long term studies:

That Prime silent charge problem is also problematic after credit card changes and other adjustments.

Saw the other day a charge get refused on a credit card I cancelled. 3DSecure is mandatory on it, so I kinda panicked thinking I got phished somewhere, but no, it was just Amazon reusing their authorization to charge a year later. I would have actually updated my info if I had a heads up, but now that my membership has been canceled following the charge refusal, it's kind of an occasion to let it go.
The flip side is that in an event like that, the power is worth far more than $20 to the owner of the PowerWall.

I lived through that outage, and I lost more than $20 in food that spoiled in the fridge/freezer (didn't have a good storage container to put it outside where the raccoons/cats couldn't get it). Some people lost dramatically more than that when their pipes froze and burst.

Central heating also doesn't work without power. They draw less than 600 watts. In that situation, would you rather have $20 or enough power to have your heating run for 24 hours? And that's actual runtime, you could probably keep your house warm-ish for 2 or 3 days by turning it on and off.

Personally, I'd only be interested if joining something like VPP came with a substantial subsidy on the price of the PowerWall or a monthly payment that could offset a significant portion of the cost. Or it had enough storage that I actually had extra power after running essentials (it does not currently).

In this case that’s not even a consideration because it’s not like African-American families “taint” a house like if, say, a family was murdered there in 1962. If they were selling the house they (everyone, really) should remove all evidence of the current owners so potential buyers can imagine themselves in the home — at least according to the tv shows my mom loves to watch.

Isn't the truth really that those are simply jobs a lot of people can do and hence, don't attract much compensation? I would also wonder if there's a way to differentiate oneself in the market so that a good teacher could improve my salary much beyond that of the mean, than an average teacher.

No, I'm not envisioning an algorithmic approach.

Systems of justice are probably the earliest institutions of civilization, and have evolved over millenia. There's lots of runway to learn from what's worked and what hasn't.

A potential starting point might be an arbitration approach where multiple parties are selected at random from a pool of candidates who gradually build reputation as fair and impartial adjudicators. They'd review evidence and arguments independantly and issue their vote for the verdict.

Commerce, including crypto, is as much about people as it is anything else.

And back to the parent's comment and others regurgitating the same circular logic: We know its not public domain on legal term but we are saying it might as well be because of the irreversible nature of making any content publicly available on the internet which more or less is identical to putting your content in public domain.

I suspect a lot of this rigid thinking and hyper sensitivity to word is spectrum behavior and I am already seeing several people.

Because of unfortunate politics - young people are thriving on TikTok so all discussions on limiting the platform under Trump were reasonably responded to with outcries about censorship. I think it's possible some change could happen under the current administration's watch (since it wouldn't be viewed as a free-speech crackdown) but there doesn't seem to be much interest now that it's just about security and not also about punishing your political opponents.

Huawei/China Telecom/etc. notwithstanding, though they are not exactly social media competitors vs. Google/Meta.
Don’t use tiktok

Trump was right about that
How strange that this comment is attracting downvotes.
Exactly.

Given they are operating in countries like the EU, US, etc and they are doing the same privacy violations and actions like what Facebook did years ago but worse, and even after regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, etc and Facebook was fined in the billions by the FTC, TikTok should be no exception and must be fined in the billions for this invasive and repeated privacy violations.

Nothing has changed, even after the invasive tracking done by Facebook, and Instagram.
Phone numbers and one-time codes, sensible. I am in the UK and the term "fintech hub" is used too loosely (part of the problem is that banks have got so large and lazy here, there is competition, most of it terribly ineffective).

I’m using Telegram for this. Create a channel, sends your bookmarked links there, use the hashtags to tag things. You can share the channel with others and you can write bots for integration with other apps/browsers.

I’m not sure you’ll ever get to cooking with no oil on cast iron. I have very well seasoned pans and I cook with oil, even then eggs will stick a little occasionally. My advice is to cook regularly and whenever you see the surface dry out a bit, apply oil (I find almost any oil or grease works) with some paper towel. I never clean it with soap, there is no need. When more involved cleaning is necessary, I’ll put water in it and let sit, and then wipe clean. If there’s lots of crap stuck to it, sometimes I’ll heat the water to a simmer, although this tends to ruin the seasoning somewhat.

Think of it kind of like a barbecue surface (more accurately like a griddle), which people generally don’t soak in soapy water. I never do the “oil and then bake it” stuff, I don’t think it’s necessary.

I’m torn right now because I also just replaced my nonstick pants with a high quality $70 new nonstick pan, and then came across all these articles about PFAS. I usually only use nonstick for eggs and other delicate items but I’m paranoid now. I’m curious if anyone knows what percentage of exposure is via cookware compared to other environmental sources?

"had they not made sweeping changes to their economy and assured the world that they would compete on a fair playing field, rules that they still (mostly) have to follow today. "

This is really quite false.

Rules are broken all the time, they are difficult to arbitrate, and often they are not.

The CCP requires foreign entities to surrender critical IP, then hand it off to a state-backed competitors, they don't allow full ownership of local companies, there's direct political interference including the requirement for all companies to directly hire CCP members as oversight, and if it's important enough, to have the CCP right on the board.

All of this in addition to the death by a thousand cuts the system can make for foreign competitors via local bureaucratic requirements at every level.

This applies not only to commerce but critical institutions such as WHO which are directly compromised by China (i.e. not allowing any material investigation into 'lab leak origins' etc. etc..)

The OP presented the situation very clearly: there is no way in any scenario that China would allow an American company to have a TikTok like app used by large swaths of the Chinese population, controlled by the US.

Neither would Russia.

On some level, that kind of thing is a bit understandable, I don't quite mind if China would not allow 'Facebook' to be the #1 communications tool in China, that said, it should be reciprocal.

And for other things, like high-speed rail etc. China has been grabbing IP using leverage that never should have been allowed.
Not the OP you're replying to but: I think there's a chasm between what views Republican voters hold, and what the Republican party stands for, and not being able to distinguish between the two leads to people talking past each other.

And yet, being a Republican voter means implicitly endorsing the views of the Republican party. So maybe this chasm doesn't matter. If you vote for a person who explicitly is against climate change, LGBTQ+ rights, etc., then that says something about your own personal philosophy.

> They're pretty flexible about restricting edge cases

The RNC is most certainly not however. No matter how many kids die in school shootings, any attempt to seriously tighten up the rules is met with a chorus of "they're taking our guns!". Getting anything passed took us.. how many school shootings?

> Republicans want to not be removed from a pseudo-public forum for holding a minority opinion - surely you can empathize with that framing?

Well, that framing is pretty disingenuous. And Republicans generally support that businesses should be able to serve whoever they want. Labelling a private company's platform as a pseudo-public forum is also at odds with the general ethos of "don't let the government tell me what to do". On top of this, the general outrage about deplatforming often entirely ignores the series of platform rule-breaking that leads up to said deplatforming.. and yet then if an unarmed black person gets killed by a cop, you'll so often hear cries of "just follow the law" coming from the right side.

In short, I consistently see Republican politicians / pundits / voters completely abandon their ideals the moment it begins to personally affect them. (Note: this until-it-affects-me probably explains the party's platform about LGBTQ+ issues, racial issues, etc.)

> OK I'm beginning to think you're not being honest with your experiences

Most of my family members, as the whole, are what I would call "reasonable republicans" who generally care about the principles of small government and not interfering too much with the economy. And yet some of them too occasionally fall into the Fox News inspired trap of labeling anything related to social welfare as "socialism". It's a real thing man.

It does not build up in your body, it builds up in the environment. The amount in your body is basically exactly the same as whatever environment you are in.

On top of that, how much PFOA would you imagine is even in a frying pan? It's already so little it's considered negligible, so unless you are buying new ones every day, even the negligible amount is not "building up".
$5 isn't THE number. It's a number that's meant to illustrate a monthly outlay on the order of a meal -- something big enough that it might not fall below the level of consideration for some people (I can certainly remember when it was something I had to think about), but small enough that people with an income level that makes them food-secure can probably swing it. As for other places where 5 USD is a lot of money for reasons of currency and local economic conditions, they'd probably have their own markets and pricing on the order of a meal for a month of service.

Any amount will always be a sacrifice compared to free, but given that "free" actually has a cost in terms of privacy, attention, and even baseline function of the tool, there's really no free lunch here, just the currency you want to pay in. Making it actual currency lines up certain incentives better. Even if it doesn't solve the problem among, say, food insecure.

In materials science "ceramic" means basically any inorganic, nonmetallic solid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Fundamental_aspects_o.... This includes perfectly safe materials like alumina, mullite, and silicon nitride, as well as things you definitely do not want in your food like lead oxide, lead zirconate titanate, barium titanate, uranium oxide, and beryllia.

So it is not accurate to say, "Ceramic itself is safe".

(I have no idea what is used in the surfaces of "ceramic" pans but it is unlikely to be any of the substances I listed above; they all have high surface energy.)
Do you have a reference for this?

I finally made the switch to triple clad stainless and i couldn't be happier. Kinda like a cast iron but a little less heavy for the larger pans (still much heavier than a cheapo set of steel pots), fast to heat up too and cooks really evenly with the thickened walls. They only get things stuck to them if you screw up your technique. Just a sponge and dish soap is all it needs most of the time.
They're "forever" because they persist in the environment. You're not likely to find this specific combination of temperature and solvents in the wild. It's something you might be able to use in water treatment plants in areas where the supply has been contaminated.

As the article notes, we already had ways of breaking them down, just with difficultly: "current PFAS-destruction techniques, such as incineration, can require vast amounts of energy, superhigh temperatures, and millions of dollars".
The wisdom of reciprocity also is older than all governments today.
