The way I do it (cast iron pan on the BBQ, screamin' hot at 700+C) is super delicious. So much so that I think I might fire up a steak this weekend. Gotta check the weather forecast to see if it's worthwhile.
I rarely ever use the brakes, even in the city -- I've become accustomed to letting off the gas at the correct distance for the regenerative braking to bring the car to a stop at the line. There's a good chance I might not replace the brakes for 10+ years.
Hydro is the oldest city-scale power production method in Ontario. Yes, it's green, but it's a proven technology. I'm talking about solar and wind.
"single digit" means "under 10%" But yes, the point still stands, and that website was super interesting. +1! :)
Yup, we had a disagreement about the electrical grid, and she insisted that green power would result in province-wide blackouts every night or whenever the wind stopped blowing. I sent her the power generation mix from the Electricity System Operator, showing that renewables accounted for a single-digit percentage point of the generating capacity of the province... Nope, "Why can't you just respect what I believe?" "Because you're full of shit?" click
Oh yeah, phonecalls with my mother would start pleasant and turn into her bullshit about 'the great reset' or 'the great barrington declaration', and when I expressed doubt in the accuracy of her information, she'd go full-on smug asshole and say shit like "Well, I guess we'll know which one of us is right soon enough." or "Don't come crawling back to me when your investments all go to zero.". It was 100% 'escape to the future' fallacy, all day every day.
I eventually got tired of the bullshit and went zero-contact, filtered her eMails to the spam folder, blocked her number, etc.
I anticipate that I'll get the call one day that she's in the hospital and nobody will come pick her up, but until then, my sanity remains intact.
It's not just men. My mother was pushed down the FaceTube YouBook weaponized disinformation rabbit hole.
It's outrage porn... They LOVE being angry at 'the system' or 'corporations' or 'the WHO' etc. etc.
Yes, there's a lot of stupid corrupt shit going on, but posting on social media is the most impotent thing a person could do to make a difference. (Yes, I appreciate the irony.)
Maybe they can get their GED and higher ed while they're in prison for the various crimes they commit.
I'm talking about taxing billionaires and billionaire toys until it's infeasible to be a billionaire anymore.
The guillotines come later, when we continue doing nothing until it's too late and the starving, drowning, burning hoardes are looking for someone to blame.
