I work in IT. This is the kind of stupid joke we live for. I'm pretty darn jaded but this is absolutely something I would lean into. I'm disappointed in the IT manager who is the subject of this post.

Interesting! I am pretty sure the smell is stronger by the exhaust. That would make sense!
So even if it just seemingly started out of nowhere, nothing to worry about?
I really appreciate the reply!
I don't think this conversation is happening in good faith. I wish you the best.
But surely some land or homes have more desirable features? Should an acre of beautiful lakefront property command the same value as a dirt lot next to a dirty industrial park?
Either way, let's say your idea for how land and homes should be valued is executable in the real world. I still don't understand why acknowledging the way things are in reality as things stand right now is the same as normalizing it. Ignoring something doesn't get it changed.
So what is your contention? That people should just say that land doesn't cost what it actually costs? I don't understand.
Well no, they couldn't. The article literally says that prior to this only that one bar in New Jersey could use it because they had a statewide trademark on it. Because they dropped it, anyone can now use it including other small bars in Jersey.
What this is doing is ensuring it remains open for use by anyone. Taco Bell, Taco Johns, Taco Suzy, whatever. Before, anyone could register for the trademark if no one else had, and start screwing over other small players.
Is it normalizing? Or just pointing out how things are today?
It's possible to describe reality without approving of it.
I don't like that lakefront property is so expensive, but it surely is. I've been casually looking for years and I don't know if I'll ever afford it. And the headline is complaining about a shed selling for $225k when it's pretty obviously the land and lakefront access that comes with it that is selling for that amount. The structure is a throw in and there's a good chance whoever buys it simply demolishes it to build what they want.
Don't focus only on reddit users. That unnecessarily narrows the scope of the issue.
Lemmy has significant barriers to joining that other sites or services do not have. And then once people manage to join there are basic usability issues with simple things like finding communities.
Until these core issues are solved it feels pointless to try to target users from a specific site.
I've heard that from people and I'm eager to eventually have a chance to try one. Our gas stove is under 10 years old and works fine, so a new induction range isn't really on the horizon for us financially.
But I'm definitely interested to try one.
Sorry if it sounded like a freak out. That wasn't intended.
How did I change the point? You said all electric ranges are fine. I contend they are not and tried to support that argument. Happy to hear your interpretation of what I said beyond dismissing it.
And again what I said wasn't intended as a personal attack on you. But if the argument is that electric and gas are equivalently effective at cooking, that's a difficult discussion to have because it's coming from a place of factual inaccuracy.
Completely fair question.
Tons of things require this. Eggs are much easier this way. Anything that needs to be brought to a boil then dropped to a simmer. Anything that needs to not be overcooked but still needs to hit temp. Fish and chicken come to mind. It also just enables fine adjustments while cooking. If I am searing something but realize I crowded the plate and things have started steaming instead, it's easy and fast to turn the heat up one notch.
Granted some of this comes down to what kind of pan you have too. I cook a lot with a carbon steel pan and it's very quickly responsive to heat changes. I have a set of all-clad pans and they also respond relatively quickly. But like, my cast irons obviously don't so it's a bit moot for them.
Maybe I'm just a stupid asshole lol.
I've been in IT for almost 20 years. There probably was a time in the middle of that run where I'd have felt like you do. There comes a time where things go full circle and you get so jaded that you decide to accept or even embrace the stupidity. I have up laugh at objectively dumb shit or I go insane. Helps me save my "angry energy" for things that really need it.
