I'm starting to feel like violence is the answer to this kind of argument. I'm not there yet. But I get closer every time I see this shit.

I feel like I should point out that pure lead is really soft. So soft in fact that you should be able to easily scratch and deform it with a dull knife. Lead will also tarnish really quickly when heated and turn a flat grey color. Because of its low melting point, lead would also be a really bad filler metal for cast iron cookware. It would soften and fall out if you ever overheated the pan.

Try scratching a line through both the pan and the brighter area with the tip of a fork or a dull knife. If it's lead, the shiny area will scratch much deeper and feel different compared to the cast iron.

Also, filling a hole or a void with lead might be easy, but welding with steel is also easy and probably cheaper from a manufacturing perspective.

I am far from being an expert, but I would think the shiny spot is indeed a repair but with arc welded steel or an iron/nickel alloy. Both of which will be durable, stand up to heat beautifully, and also appear noticably shinier than cast iron even after being heated on the stove.

Maybe, and I for certain people I totally agree. But I also think certain media outlets work really hard to make sure their audience is afraid of nearly everything. Because of that, these folks are in constant fight-or-flight mode and ready to kick, punch, or shove anything and everything that makes them feel slightly uncomfortable.

Rogers primary campaign ad was weird. He said he's running for the US Senate but instead of talking about how he will work for Michigan, he complained about Joe Biden. So your intent is to obstruct rather than govern? How is that appealing to anyone?

If you haven't been offered a position yet, then just be honest with them that you have a commitment coming up that you made before the offer. Let them decide if they still want to hire you. Who knows, they may agree to the time off.

Best I could find is the original Swedish version on Vimeo.

If that happens, and I really hope it doesn't, I would like the Republicans to win big. Because then they will learn very quickly how stupid and backwards their party has become and how badly they have fucked themselves and everyone else in this country.

I truly hope that whiny orange bitch slips on a banana peel and hits his head on something hard!

I do this too. Speedway and Shell play video ads on their pumps with no obvious mute options. I don't buy gas there.

It's because writing research grants, getting them approved, and publishing papers on that research has become more about getting the money and less about producing quality results.

Swapping the toner cartridge is worth a try. I guess I assumed you had already tried that.

I'm in the US so that is where I looked.
