It's not just the fat, it's also the heat. Know what you're cooking and how. Some things will burn no matter what if the heat is too high, and some will get greasy if the heat isn't high enough.

You can also get soggy/greasy food if there's too much food in the pan, or if it's a very wet food like mushrooms or a protein that wasn't pat dry first. Liquid is your enemy; it will generate steam which will make everything go wrong.

If you're using a small amount of oil and the food burns, your heat is likely too high. Very high heat is usually used for quick cooks like a stir fry, or to finish off a sauce. Try lowering your heat.

It'd help to know more about what you're cooking and what your results have been. Then we can nitpick at you. :-)

They COULD have simply put ads into the API, or made it a requirement. They didn’t.

OH, THIS THIS A BILLION TIMES THIS.

They shot themselves in the foot and are now angry about it.

It might be different where you live, but my experience is that pain clinics are unlikely to take a walk-in patient. Because of the risk of painkiller abuse [insert an eyeroll here], almost all pain clinics require a referral from another doctor with a diagnosis for whatever is causing the pain.

FYI: urgent cares should take Obamacare insurance. If you're worried about cost you can call and ask if they take your insurance and how much their co-pay is, if any.

Yep. This is Huffman having a tantrum because he found out someone is making enough money to live on with their coding, and his company isn't getting a slice.

RES is used by some significant percentage of Redditors and they take donations to fund their work. I'm willing to bet they're next on the chopping block of his tantrum.

Get your butt to an urgent care. They can best do a basic evaluation to see if it's something serious, especially because it's getting worse. You don't want to wait until you're unable to move. The worst thing that happens is they say it's a strain and give you some muscle relaxants to tide you over for a while. (Actually, the real worst thing that happens is that they dismiss you because women's pain is more likely to be dismissed. Ugh.)

Good luck and take care.

You may be familiar with PA, but not everyone reading our blather will. :-)

I grew up on Da 'Gisland a million years ago.

Yeah, there's nothing special about an API. It's just a shortcut for the app to use to get specific info from the server.

If given half a chance, I'd probably still put potato chips on anything I could.

Heck, to use the non-American definition of the word "chips," I spent most of my life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a city known for many things but gastronomically for putting french fries (the other kind of "chips") on sandwiches and salads!

When I was a kid, maybe 11 or 12? I was at the birthday party of some kid. Mind you, this was the 1970s. The parents dumped us all in the "playroom" (a big basement room, finished and with furniture) with some toys and games and a table full of food and they had their own little party upstairs. Meanwhile, we had a table full of candy and chips and cupcakes and bread and sandwich stuff and whatever to drink.

For whatever kid reason, we started making the Weirdest Sandwiches We Could Think Of. Mine, I will never forget. One slice of bread slathered with peanut butter, upon which went M&Ms, chocolate Twizzlers, potato chips, and Fritos, folded in half like a taco.

How did it taste? Well, I made a second one. But I was 11 or 12 and had the food palate of a caveman.

NSFW posts weren't the primary reason why /r/all got limits. /r/all was littered with hate and bigotry and general garbage. If /r/all had been left alone, Reddit would have continued on the path to becoming Voat.

Not modifying, to some degree, what subreddits appear on /r/all would have made trying to remove the bigotry off the site that much harder. (It will never completely go away; the site is too huge at this point.) While they should have used the idea of quarantines long before they started out with flat-out removal of these subs, these weren't just "[racist slur] are dumb" type of stuff. These were subs that outright called for the violence and death of people who weren't them. These were places for racists and bigots who had no qualm about doxxing people with hopes that bad things would happen to them.

You can argue "Well, then, ban the people who do that kind of thing!" Sometimes when the pool gets full of scum, you have to recognize the point where spot cleaning isn't the cure and you have to drain the pool to stop the scum from gathering.
