Geezy peasy Dualstow. I sure hope Big Brother hasn’t deleted you.

It was a terrible, depersonalized, emotionless design, and say that even I have only eaten there once, not a repeat customer. But why was it called "woke"? This leads me to believe that "woke" is just a catch-all bin for anything that some people don't like. It is woke because i...

Don't like it. But there is an argument that "the US govt taking a 10% stake in Intel Corp" is better than just giving the company free money like the CHIPS Act does. Two wrongs don't make a right, but this is more of trying to make the first wrong somewhat less of a wrong. I suppose ther...

Per ChatGPT (in honor of Vinny): “Romans used urine as a cleaning agent. Public urinals collected urine in big jars, and fullers (the people who washed clothes) used it to clean and whiten togas. The ammonia in urine made it surprisingly effective at removing grease and stains. In fact, Emperor Vesp...

Should I rename the thread to Jars & Bars?

Excellent! Much better than Pee on Peas.

Boglerdude, what a shameful dealership story. Sorry you had to go through that mess. Hope it all gets settled soon and to your satisfaction. And that you don’t find out Gavin Newsome owns the place. Time to get out of CA?

It's good to see that some of the forum members are still alive. It had been 6 days of darkness. How about the rest of you? Are you still on the bright side of the grass? ;) 6 days in what ways? Dual posted on the 18th. Previous post was by me on the 12th. If my math skills are working that’s 6 day...

G’day Hal. Nice series of videos of “down under “. I remember when you were the Hal in 2001. Guess I’m old too!

[quote=dualstow post_id=258538 In case I didn’t already mention it: our pan is a grille pan with ridges so it’s a little more annoying to oil and to clean than a smooth, flat pan. [/quote] I also have a grille pan but don’t use it as much as a flat skillet. I do use the same treatment method as I de...

(Cast iron pans) I'm currently dealing with trying to get a nice finish back on mine. I put oil on it and put it in the stove for a couple hours, but I don't seem to be making meaningful progress. Enlighten me oh wise one. I’m no expert, but I read that you should try a ½ teaspoon of oil and apply ...

Do not remember ever having prior seen that name.

Search the members list. Tortoise joined in 2010 and has over 2700 posts. I don’t remember the last time I saw one of his posts.

iPhone 11 ProMax 256GB purchased new October 1, 2019. I don’t remember the price but was likely close to $1k before trading in my iPhone 7. I’m considering getting a new iPhone in the next year or two as my current phone battery has declined to about 85% of new capacity after almost 6 years. FWIW I ...

We also daily use a GE counter top microwave that is 20 or 25 years old. We got an Instant Vortex Plus air fryer, two trays vs basket, a year or two ago. We had no idea it would be so versatile, everything from chicken and fish to toast. We use it several times a day.

Aren’t cast iron pans amazing? 🍳 I feel like I spend too much time re-oiling them but I really love the way they cook, both on the stovetop and in the oven. Agreed. We pretty much daily use a small skillet or a medium skillet that were my mother’s and grandmother’s. We also frequently use a Dutch o...

Based on Smither’s purchase and the subsequent comments, I purchased an outdoor drive in movie theater complete with screen, projection booth, snack bar and a couple hundred of those pole stands with speakers on them. Now I have to figure out how to move it to my backyard (I don’t think it’s going ...

Unless your light switch is a meter square, that is a very large TV. 85"! It was so big that I couldn't even fit it in my car.. I had to get the store to deliver it to the house. ;D Based on Smither’s purchase and the subsequent comments, I purchased an outdoor drive in movie theater complete ...

I was reading about the infamous killing of Georgi Markov ( yes, hi, Vil O0 ) which allegedly involved the use of an umbrella gun and a ricin “bullet.” The bullet with the ricin was made of 90% platinum and 10% iridium. Have a swell day, everyone Not to be too picky, but if the bullet were exactly ...

O0 I never get tired of D&D references. I finally have two monitors, but only because I have both a Mac and a Dell on my desk. Wow. One Monitor and one Merry-Mac. 😉 Dualstow, no comment on this? No need for war, be civil. Hello, hello, hello, there is no naval gazing allowed. 🤣 I puzzled over i...
