I am saddened that this depiction does not feature a smiling Luigi.

6th amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial. The only way he doesn’t see a jury is if he waives that right.

If you want it that high, I would suggest using wok seasoning methods instead of cast iron. Basically, you “blue” the pan (develop a black iron oxide layer) by holding it at 550F for an hour or so. You’ll burn off the oil every time you use it, but the black oxide layer is relatively non-stick. This will work better with carbon steel than cast iron.

Alternatively, you might consider an even heavier pan, to hold a 400-450F temperature even longer.

The burner will get well over a thousand. Without something cooling it off, a pan can overheat even on low.

I think maybe sometimes I burn the seasoning from cooking with too high heat?

That will happen around 450-500F. One method of stripping seasoning is to run it through an oven self-cleaning cycle.

Try washing it.

So long as you’re not using the lye-based soaps your grandparents used to wash their dishes, you’re fine. Dishwashing detergent does not damage seasoning.

It is a myth that you can’t use dish detergent on cast iron. If it feels greasy and filthy, it is greasy and filfthy.

The truth behind the “no soap” myth is that we used to use lye-based soap for dishwashing. Lye does, indeed, break down seasoning. But we use surfactant-based detergents now, rather than actual soap. Detergents break down oils which are necessary for rust prevention, but they don’t damage seasoning. Just wipe them down with the thinnest layer of high temp oil before storing them, and you’re good to go.

Your boomer parents/grandparents couldn’t wash their cast iron with dish “soap”. You can.

Not all wealth is a problem. His yachts and their maintenance isn’t actually the problem here: that money was spent. That money put shipbuilders and maintainers to work. The assets he gets from spending isn’t the problem.

The problem is his registered securities: his stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. These assets aren’t just wealth. They generate wealth by taking it from the working class.

What we need is a tax on all registered securities. We will exempt the first $10 million held by a natural person. This tax is payable in shares of the security. IRS liquidators will offer these shares in small lots, comprising no more than 1% of total traded volume. This minimizes the effect of the sale of these shares on their value.

The only way to keep those shares untaxed is for a natural person to hold them. They will have greater value in the hands of the working class than the ultra-rich. This tax structure will shift ownership of companies toward the working class.

Every McDonald’s employee should be compensated, in part, with shares in the company.

Philanthropist? More like Philanthrapist, amiright?

I think the first copycat is going to get more updoots than Luigi did.

To be fair, law enforcement is just looking for overtime pay. They don’t care who was murdered. The bean counters at city hall are the ones who determine their budget.

Nah. It actually reduces problems. Shutoff is in easy reach from outside the tub. Showerhead points away from the curtain: less water outside the tub. It just annoys the hell out of symmetrical people.

More likely, there is a sistered stud directly in the center of the surround, and to fix it properly, they would have to tear out both sides of the wall.

Offsetting the valve to one side or the other, they don’t have to do any additional demolition, framing, or drywall.

Source: been there, done that…

The wall has to be well sealed. This is better. The shower head is pointed away from the curtain. Less water on the floor.

You’re cooking dinner, not crystal meth.

“Frozen chicken strips” doesn’t mean what you think it means. “Frozen chicken strips” are “whatever neutral solid you want to use to carry the flavor of everything else in this dish to your mouth”.

“1 cup” of them is “However much of that solid you feel like eating with this meal”, plus any remaining that would be less than a full portion if saved for the next meal.

Forget the scale; if you’re dirtying a dish for a cup of chicken, you don’t belong in the kitchen! The proper tool for measuring a cup of frozen chicken is your dominant hand, curled into a fist around them.

Fahrenheit is also based on water’s phase changes,

Exactly: It puts 180 degrees between boiling and frozen, as though they were opposite conditions or something.

It’s set at 32 instead of 0 because 0 is the temperature of the most stable frigorific mixture they knew of. If you don’t have access to a reliable thermometer for your lab, the thermometer you make and calibrate with Fahrenheit’s brine method is going to be more accurate than the one you make for Celsius’s freezing/boiling method.

Or, we just use volumetric measurements, despite the slight variations they introduce when you cram pack flour into a cup instead of gently scooping the sifted. It’s a kitchen, not a laboratory or a factory.

Exactly. I am trying to describe a duodecimal number system without using a decimal number system. “Ten” is a single-digit number. “Eleven” is a single digit number. “10” is pronounced “Twelve”.

In duodecimal, 10 is, indeed, the sum of 6+6. Add up 6+6 in your number system. The number you reach equals “10” in the number system I described.

Hexadecimal is a wonderful base, as it is the composite of 2 * 2 * 2 * 2.

But, it does not allow for even division by three or six, and that is a problem. The simplest regular polygon is an equilateral triangle. The angle of an equalateral triangle is 1/6th the angle of a complete circle. Hexadecimal cannot represent 1/6th of a circle without a fractional part. Geometry in hexadecimal would require something like the sexagesimal layer (360 degree circle) we stack on top of decimal to make it even remotely functional.

Duodecimal would not require that additional layer: The angle of a complete circle is “10”. The equilateral triangle angle is “2”. A right angle is “3”. A straight line is “6”.

With duodecimal, the unit circle is already metricated. Angles are metric. Time is metric.

Let me put it a different way: Our base is the product of 2 and a prime number. A 12-fingered alien who came across our decimal number system would think it about as useful and practical as we think of base-14, another number system with a base the product of 2 and a prime number.

Of course. But I’m saying it in such a way that doesn’t require the use of numbers in a base that is the product of 2 and 5.

In any given number system, the base of that number system is 10.
