Venutian Spring

That’s why I just bought a steam deck to supplement my PC. I can sit on the couch and play, or take it with me and play wherever I am. Plus, it’s the basically best emulator on the market. Oh and I can play any switch game I care to play on it too.

Oh I like that.

Beautiful shot.

Yeah, I know. If Lemmy get’s big enough it’s going to be the top searches just like Reddit was. Until that time though, it’s going to be a whole lot of power stache lol.

I don’t care about the name much, but it’s going to make searching for anything on here through a regular search engine cumbersome. Lemmy is just going to bring up results to the late motorhead singer

Relay was my favorite too, RIF before I found relay. I’m enjoying Jerboa right now though

Your comment fits me perfectly. Listening to my coworkers discuss the most garbage vitriol and bullshit mental gymnastics to justify they’re beliefs while trying to shoehorn them into their religion. Good times

If I could relocate to a state where my views aren’t swamped by the overwhelming redness of the state, I would in an instant, but sadly it’s not in the cards until retirement.

If they were, then my mistake, but I don’t think that’s what they were meaning. They’re in Bueno Aires and the average winter temp is right around 16C, so I think they were saying it’s the same as normal to discredit our climate change concerns.

I’m sure you could, people use vinegar to remove rust from iron all the time, I’ve just never personally heard it being used in this application. If you try it though, let me know how it goes

Congrats? Local temperature is not what this is about. Average global temperature was the hottest on record and is indicating that the earth is warning.

Yeah for real. I guess it’s way cheaper to make that crap than natural fibers. Under Armor has done a fantastic job of making us believe this is some magic material

Assuming it isn’t too pitted, you strip it of the rust or old seasoning (the black stuff), then re-season it.

For stripping, I’ve used the self cleaning cycle in my oven and my big green egg, but don’t recommend that as it can cause the cast iron to crack sometimes. I’ve seen people spraying their cast iron with oven cleaner and placing it in a garbage bag in the sun for a day or two. It’s supposed to work very well, but I haven’t tried it.

For seasoning, I like to rub a very light coat of oil into the entire surface of the cast iron (get an oil with a high smoke point, I’ve used peanut oil most of the time) and then wipe the oil off until you can see it anymore. Place the cast iron into the oven and set it to 500F. When it get’s to temp let it sit in there for an hour, then turn off the oven and let it and the cast iron cool completely. Rinse and repeat as many times as you want to (I usually do at least 6 cycles to get the seasoning nice and established, but I’ve done as many as 12 and don’t really see too much of a benefit). There’s tons of different methods for seasoning cast iron and some people swear by different oils, grapeseed, flax, bacon, vegetable shortening. I’ve tried a couple different ones and haven’t’ seen a noticeable difference.

Then you just cook with your new cast iron. After every time, gently clean the pan, then oil it extremely lightly and heat it to completely dry it before storing. Don’t cook anything acid like tomatoes, or you will see your hard earned seasoning stripped away in a heartbeat.

I got a used t480 off of eBay a few weeks ago $150 and I highly recommend it. Super easy to open and upgrade. Got extra ram and a larger battery for less than $70 and it’ll last all day on battery power. I like it so much I’m about to order one for my son, who’s starting college.

What kind of rice cooker? I use my instant pot to cook rice in now, but have been thinking about getting an Asian style rice cooker for a while now.

I used to do this at flea markets a few years ago. Find they nastiest, rusted cast iron I could find and then restore it to use in my kitchen. It’s really easy and doesn’t cost hardly anything to do. I have close to 10 really nice pieces cast iron cookware in my kitchen now.

Great list, especially about the clothing. I’m in the process of replacing all of my synthetic clothing, I absolutely hate that crap. The only thing I can see myself wearing tech material again is when run. If i can wear Merino wool to run in the summer then I will, synthetic clothes just radiate odors like crazy
