I don’t know your glass cooktop, but i’d be shocked if the weight of a cast iron was enough to damage it. Does this mean you also wouldn’t put a cooking pot full of water on it? Mine had no problem, didn’t even get scratched which i was worried it might.

That said i do think cast irons can be too heavy for some people, especially when it’s full

it’s so much better than stainless

debatable but i think so

it takes a little maintenance

everything needs maintenance in the sense that you have to clean it. jokes aside, the only maintenance it needs is to burn oil in it if the seasoning got a little damaged for any reason

can’t cook anything tomato based

you can, it’s not great but won’t ruin it

eight coats of oil you have to burn onto it before you can use it

that’s not true, all cast iron pans come pre-seasoned from the factory

you can cook fried eggs and steak

that is true

even after seasoning it everything will still stick to the pan

not really, it’s pretty non-stick

to clean it you gotta heat it up then dry salt scrub then re-season

not really, you only need to do that if the seasoning got damaged

if water ever touches it the entire thing will disintegrate

that’s not true, you’d have to leave it in water for days to get it to rust

things that aren’t mentioned: you gotta use it regularly otherwise it gets sticky; you can use metal tools like knives and spatulas directly in the pan that would demolish any teflon; the seasoning is more resilient than people think, you can even wash it with dish soap; the seasoning actually gets stronger when you fry fatty things in it (grilled cheese, steaks, eggs, sausages); it’s very simple, durable, rustic, old technology, and incredibly cheaper than skillets of a similar quality (excluding cheap teflon pans); you can unrust it in your garage and even weld it back together if it breaks, which is sick as hell.

It’s undeniably better for you to not worry, but also the ability to not worry is undeniably privileged since it means you’re not personally affected.

Also i just don’t think it’s true that we can separate our issues from the third world’s issues, they are connected, and the very uncomfortable fact is that the connection often is our benefitting from their exploitation. That’s not as true as it once was, colonialism is different now, but it’s still true, i own countless cheap items thatwere manufactured by exploited workers in other countries.

The trend on social media is idle outrage, it’s overexposing ourselves to the most devastating and most infuriating information while doing nothing about it. I’ve seen a lot of Gaza footage but i haven’t done anything other than donate e-sims and upvote memes.

I don’t blame anyone for wanting out of that. If you’re not going to do something about politics, then you might as well not let it poison your social media. If you are doing something about politics, then you already know to step out of online flame wars, or you should know.

Of all human emotions, rage is the one that’s best at keeping us engaged, so for-profit social medias feed us rage bait constantly to keep us on their platform, and one great way to do that is through politics. Here on Lemmy, the same is done for internet points. I see no point in either because neither leads to action. In fact there’s incredible danger in being politically angry, we should be politically educated.

When did you buy the M570? I bought mine 6 years ago and it doesn’t require software, if yours is recent then that’s a new thing

The beauty of capitalism

Fucking stop with this conspiracy theory already, i’m reading it for the third time this thread. As if CEOs can’t make bad decisions and there has to be a “realll11” reason.

You’ll get my boot in your reer in a minute if you carry one like that

Oh my god they even have a pop-up

“Yeah sorry boss, i didn’t actually read the email, instead i had an AI summarize it for me and it got a key detail wrong. Anyway what’s a couple thousand dollars in lost sales right”

Look, i’m buying two hard drives no matter what to anticipate a drive failure. In that case, if i’m anticipating a failure anyway, might as well buy them second-hand and, yes, save a ton of money.

The key is to look for a CrystalDiskInfo screenshot in the ad, which is indicative of a serious seller and also lets you know the drive’s condition. If you buy from a professional, you may get a warranty.

Man i’ve have dozens of usernames spanning 15 years but i ALWAYS get comments about my username being funny lmao

Yeah, the key is to add “umm” and “uhh” here and there. Makes it conversational

Fucking, uh, keys and a wad of cash. Oh and phone i guess. I kinda stuff them wherever depending on what i’m wearing, i don’t have that many pockets so i don’t fumble for them that much. This one pair of jeans has a hole in the pocket, i don’t remember which one, but basically can’t put coins in that. Um. Yeah

I vaguely remember the Nvidia driver generating tons of log files, so many that they piled up over years and filled my drive

Skibidi toilet is a gmod/SFM series. This isn’t zoomer culture, it’s millenial culture. It’s zoomers appreciating our culture.

So now the problem is sharing your IP with every member of the P2P swarm.

I was gonna say superhero movies but that’s more a thing of the 2010s.

Regardless, i think the current phase of Hollywood won’t go down in history, all these remakes being unceremoniously shoved into streaming services to be forgotten forever will leave a black hole where 2020’s culture should be.

You mean you tell them to KYS right?

Allright knuckleheads, here’s what you do:

1. Follow people who’s content you’re interested in

2. Browse Following and not For You

3. That’s litterally it

I get so peeved when people browse algorithmic feeds and then complain that they see bad content. You fools. You cretins. I’ll have you know that i actually have a pleasant experience on Twitter AND THAT’S NOT A JOKE, i genuinely have a good time on a bad website purely because i stay away from the For You feed. It’s literally that simple. The only time i get conservative propaganda is when someone i follow quote tweets it with a snarky response.

I’ve had someone assume i was a nazi because i’m still on Twitter and i got a little (too) mad at them because we clearly don’t share the same reality. They browsed For You and quite rightfully left the site never to return, and they don’t understand how i’m able to stay; no shit, i’m able to stay because i don’t browse Following.

Now the thing is, this is how i’ve always used the internet, from the start i’ve built my follows list with this browsing habit in mind so i only follow like 200 people with the specific purpose of seeing their content; but for a lot of users, following is more like pressing “like” on a profile, and they end up following 5000 accounts. In that case you’re gonna get way too much content sprayed at you and pruning your follows list is going to take forever. I don’t know what to do in that situation tbh
