And have in fact stolen my broodje haring straight out of my fucking hands as I raised it to my mouth to take the first bite. Fucker hit me from behind and curved in at the last second. Zandvoort Summer 2010. Never forget, never forgive!

The entire population of Greater Haarlem would like a word about this.

Yes! Startpage rocks hard. I wish Safari would let it be the default search engine (FF does with a simple plug in).

Have a sympathy upvote for your wok hei. I love my cast iron. And my enameled cast iron. And my carbon steel. And my copper. I love my Japanese santoku and my German steel. Different tools for different jobs my friend.

That said, if you had to populate a kitchen, from scratch, on a budget, cast iron as your main skillet is a good idea.

Copper with stainless steel interior has the best of both worlds. However, it’s nearly as heavy and very expensive.

Matters may dramatically reverse once she’s (nearly) of of menopause and your testosterone takes a nose dive. Be prepared!

Yeah alas the subreddit for it did a lot of the heavy lifting for me - they took apart every study (I helped) and had some good sidebar (or was it pinned, been so long I cannot remember) info to counter the “dumb reactionary shit.” I am pretty sure the sub got baninated, but I haven’t been back to reddit since I rage quit after the API debacle.

When I first started vaping in 2011 (after smoking two packs a day for decades), there were a lot of solid, research-based web boards, but I think social media killed them, as it did so much.

I am someone who used to do medical research for a lot of money. I’ve interviewed chairs of FDA committees, trial designers, and active trial leads on phase III (mostly) research in pharma and biologics. I still have access to PupMed via my old friends.

My guy/gal/nonbinary pal: pls see the references in this https://medicpro.london/2025/05/08/vaping-and-popcorn-lung-separating-fact-from-fiction/ Diacetyl has been widely banned since 2014 in all but the most trash Chinese vape juice, and quality vendors never used it in the first place.

Also the supposed cases of popcorn come from one source. Some dude in California who cut his cannabis juice with it, and in every single case the kids that got sick were using his juice in vape pens, not actually vaping. It’s Friday night here and I’d rather not track the story down but if you really want it I’ll find it.

As a former life long smoker, vaping (which is the front line treatment for cessation in the UK) saved my life. Now, however, the shops pushing disposable vapes with super high nicotine salts on to kids - which is illegal almost everywhere - they need to die in a fire. The kids don’t get hooked on "vape;’ they get hooked on nicotina because those damn things are the equivalent of smoking two or three regular cigarets in one puff.

That was a good read, well done! I’d be interested if you ever reconsider Startpage. I’ve had good success with that on my work computer.

Data? No, because there is none. And I have read every.single.study. They are all fucked in some way or another whether it’s methodology or the stats or the sample size/composition. Not a single real in vivo study. None. There is exactly one researcher in Greece doing decent work, and that’s it. I took a career change from my previous and now present career and worked in pharma and biotech research.

Cyprus will never, ever let Turkey ascend to the EU while they continue to illegally occupy 1/3 of Cyprus.

Ascension votes must be unanimous. I don’t know why anyone at any time thought Turkey might join the EU.

Off topic, bur why is OP banned?

For work at any given point I have 17-20 tabs open. It’s totally useful for me to sort them into tabs to cut out the “noise” when I’m doing research.

Brave of you to assume America will ever have free and fair elections again.

Recommendation: download wikipedia. While you still can.

Man I took my kids off location sharing when they got their first phones at 12. Shit is creepy.

Just communicate!

While 700k may look like a lot (and by most objective measures it is), the skill set needed to run a successful non/not for profit is actually quite unique no matter how big or small it is. They do not work not like “normal” CEOs. Replace caring about share price, and moving the share price up effectively versus caring about voluntary donations from people who get nothing out of but perhaps a tax break. And you’re competing not against other equities (stocks); you’re competing against other non/not for profits for limited money and attention.

Anyway, just saying I do not begrudge that level of compensation to the people running the last corner of the internet not filled with AI slop.

Yes see comment above.
