Me when the first meds kicked in: Wow, this is what silence sounds like? It's quite peaceful and lovely. I should take a nap.

So at least it should trip when the squirting blood shorts it.

But here's a pizza party for the crew! Be sure to only have one slice so there's enough to go around.

Does anyone else remember a timeline where this would ruin a politician for life?

My work environment has gone to hell this year. First I was told to move across country on my own dime to keep my job. Then to report to the office 3x a week for no good reason only to have them close the office next to my new apartment forcing me to commute. Then I watched several people get laid off or demoted after moving for the job. Now we are to start reporting to the office 5x a week and there is no assigned seating and no guarantees that I won't be laid off or demoted next. I'm dealing with it this year by telling them to get stuffed and moving back home.

Store bought modern bacon is loaded with sugars and that is what is causing the issues. I've found that the older the seasoning the lesser the impact. Still, just scrub off the stuck on bits with a chain mail and some hot water with a mild dish detergent then do a quick post-season on the stove and it's like it never happened.

In all fairness by the looks of the carbon buildup on the outside this skillet is due to be reseasoned. I doubt the dishwasher will do much to help; this thing needs a lye bath or electrolysis at this point.

I just stripped my 20+ year-old 10" lodge because the carbon buildup was flaking on the inside. The pan is better than new now as the rough finish has worn considerably (though it isn't glass smooth). I have a lot of fond memories of meals made in this skillet and plan on using it for the rest of my life even though I can afford and own arguably better quality cookware these days.

Not to brag but I have two of these and a proper junk drawer.

"And I'll fucking do it again."

Actually, I misread this. I read this as we cannot solve it by reigning in... My mind is a funny thing.

I think I can get behind that but do need more details about what replaces it and how.

Are you arguing that unfettered corporate capitalism is the best approach?
