Uhh, do Disney!
My most hated meme people use right now is: “We’ve had the worst storms/rains/drought/fires of the century every year, that’s just how it is.”
Bitch if it’s the worst of the century every year that means it’s getting worse every year! There’s no status quo in this!
I don’t understand what’s happening here, can someone explain please?
Uhh, I once found good information on why that is:
Testosterone raises the pain threshold, so men are usually more resistant to pain and more prone to “tough it out”. But Testosterone also makes people more vulnerable to typical cold and flu symptoms.
So while men do have a higher pain tolerance than non-pregnant women (pregnancy hormones really hit different) they also suffer more severe symptoms.

The depicted spider is a cellar spider btw., they are known to attack and eat redback spiders, huntsman spiders and house spiders. This is the anti-spider spider, the traitorous black legger.
Dunno about personal armor but we have nekkid furry ladies on planes and tanks… humans keep being thirsty.
Exactly, my hair will morph into every possible haircut at once as soon as it get’s wet and then dries without having been soaped.
Oh absolutely, he’s been drawing Chloe or versions of her for years and years, and now he’s making some money off of it.
I didn’t really like TOS (except the movies, those were great) was a big TNG fan (not the movies though, didn’t like those), I loved DS9, I was okay with Voyager and basically did not care for anything after, except maybe Lower Decks? Haven’t seen SNW yet, will give it a try.
But all of that is just like, my opinion man, you go watch whatever gives you the good feels, I’ll not police your opinion.
Except if you like Discovery-Klingons, liking those makes you a garbage-human!🚩
Aaaaaaand that’s the chorus and melody of “Smokin’ Joe Rudeboy” stuck in my head again.
Sigh
I’ll look into carbon steel if I ever need a new one, thanks. But honestly, cast iron is just build to last.
And I don’t trust the soap around here, my first seasoning-tries went horribly flakey after I used soap on them. I’d rather just hot water and scrub, stuff usually just wipes off.
Meh, one of my pots came pre-seasoned and I just started using it as if I’d seasoned it myself, after the first couple of weeks of simply using it, it now has the exact same surface as everything I seasoned myself, because every time you fry something in it, it just improves the seasoning.
shrug
I mean I’m happy I know how to season my stuff, but if it lowers the entry-barrier to cast iron I think it’s worth it.
I can only tell you about my experience, I’ve made the switch half a year ago.
Cast iron is heavy, REALLY HEAVY and comparably more expensive than cheap non-stick pans. It’s a hassle to work with because it’s so heavy, no easy flipping stuff by throwing the pan around (inertia is a bitch), you shouldn’t clean it with soap, just hot water and some elbow-grease and you should always keep is slightly oiled. Oh and there is no “the handle doesn’t get hot”, it always does and you should wrap a cloth around it.
But Oh My Goodness!
I’ve needed some tries to get the seasoning right, needed some time to adjust my cooking as to not leave acidic food in the pan or pot over night, but now that my pan and pot are very well seasoned and I know how to handle them… nothing sticks, at least not for long. I can make a fried egg or some bacon and after sticking for the first few seconds it just… lift’s off the surface and moves freely in the pan. No non-stick pan has ever given me a non-stick experience like this and making steak has become one of my most fun experiences, because the pan keeps its heat when I throw the cold slap of meat into it and evenly browns the beef without any sticking.
Absolute game changer. just don’t heat an empty pan too much, because you can burn the seasoning off again.
No Llama song, very disappoint.
