I really need to start making my own dough or portioning it better.

Looks excellent! I’ll have to try that combination.

I didn’t like my results with skillets simply because I generally use store bought dough and it’s too much dough for a skillet

Here’s my splurge from two years ago (wow it’s gotten expensive)

Plus storage. Those things are huge and I already have too much clutter, too few places to put things. If I enjoy it or use it regularly, fine, but if I don’t’ want t takes up a lot of space

I’ve been considering that on and off. I do have a Teflon wok - i dont see how that’s really fit for purpose but it should be enough to learn how to stir fry. Realistically I end using using a skillet

I was afraid of that. Seems like one of those things cool n theory

Nice!

That would be truly amazing on those occasions you really need it

Here’s my favorite breakfast, when my teens are here

• brown a package of breakfast sausage in the 12” skillet
• add a bunch of butter to the 10”, then half a package of hash brown
• salt and pepper
• layer of corn or diced peppers or spinach or something
• layer the meat
• make 6 nests, and crack eggs in each. More pepper. Sometimes sriracha
• cover and cook until the egg whites are solid

I have no idea what you call it but I like the layers and its a full breakfast in a slice. The 10” skillet is perfect size for three of us, and no measuring.

Years ago I would have added a layer of cheese, so this is “healthy”, relatvely

I don’t have a Dutch oven, but it don’t think I’d use it. I don’t cook a lot of the things you typically use a Dutch oven for and am not interested in them. I do have a crock pot, which works well for chili and similar. The biggest reason I’d have is bread, but I don’t yet cook bread so who knows. I had way too much home made bread over pandemic, and am torn between going all in, or resisting

I agree with the multiple skillets, I frequently use both my 10” and 12” cast iron at the same time.

I actually have a steel one. NO luck so far, but I’m too impatient. I don’t think I preheat enough

It’s usually not that messed up, but yes, some restaurants do delivery through DoorDash/Uber. I’ve had that happen at multiple places: get excited that a restaurant offers delivery but then cancel when I find out it’s uber eats.

Sandwich is rectangle, sub is elongated

If it involves moving to a device that has a keyboard, you’ve lost me

Gimme a “C”

Unfortunately that’s not an effective shortcut from my phone

You might read up on the everlasting prevalence of ancient COBOL still running too much of our banking and government. the same software that caused y2k is still there

Just like y2k, the irony is the problem is already solved but that won’t help us.

Datetime types have long since converted to longer data types that will not have such a problem for thousands of years. APIs have long since converted to return those longer data types. The problem is solved.

But the backward compatible 32bit datetime types are still there. Too many programs still use them. Too many embedded devices don’t include “extra features that waste space “, industrial devices are far more widespread but don’t get updates for many years. Worst of all, we have no idea what works and what doesn’t. We’re doomed to repeat the same crisis as y2k, where we’ll need to evaluate all our software, roll out patches, worry about everything falling down.

Modern software development has made it easier than ever to keep everything up to date, to prevent so many issues from ever happening. Year 2038 is an unnecessary problem. But human nature is to let it fester until the problem erupts. We’re doomed

Before Ukraine, I’d read that idea quite a few times.

Previous wars were run on logistics and manufacturing - can you keep your guys supplied longer than the other side? But now you goto war with what you have, you lose ridiculously expensive and very lethal equipment very quickly. Modern equipment is so complex and expensive that you can never sufficiently speed up manufacturing, so once you’re out, you’re out. Your equipment may not last long enough to institute a draft and call up more people, so once you’re out, you’re out. War over. Very quickly.

That was the expectation. Then there’s Ukraine, which defied all expectations. Somehow it kept going, it turned into a logistics battle again. The modern lethality didn’t happen as expected

True, someone always had it worse

Woo hoooo, give me an “F”!
