    The greatest bane are huge “off road” vehicles that never leave a suburb or city and just waste space there. This is like the opposite of that, it’s a small car that actually is used off road.

    I do not get the rational behind it, i get what they said, but it doesn’t clear anything up because it’s so vague.

    I’m not convinced of the necessity of the move and I’m not really attached in anyway to the mod team, not saying I don’t appreciate the work they’ve done, I just have no strong attachment to them being in charge of moderation, so why would I pick up and fallow them? There’s another 196 on here now so no reason to go fallow them to .world.

    Also, I’m hesitant to see large communities get concentrated on .world, it’s already large and making it larger seems risky, like putting too many eggs in one basket. If something happens to it and a lot of important communities are based there, then that kind of puts a huge gaping hole in lemmy as a whole. Better to have things distributed more evenly across other instances for the sake of resiliency.











  • It depends what you’re going for. There are a lot of classic long simmered tomato sauces, they are a different thing than fast cooked ones though. Long cooked ones tend to be more mellow and complex, but lose some of the acidic zing, adding a bit of vinegar or wine at the end can bring that back though.

    Just don’t make them in a cast iron, not only will the strip the seasoning, they will also absorb some iron, great if you have an iron deficiency, but it can make the sauce taste a bit metal-y.



  • It is the material on the pans, but the only case where the companies making the stuff were successfully sued was when they were caught for dumping intermediates of the chemical in to a tributary of Ohio river.

    It’s hard to pin down how impactful the coatings on the pans are because of how many other sources of these kinds of fluorocarbons are in house hold items, and in the environment due to large companies disposing of them recklessly. We know for a fact that basically everyone has some level of these compounds in them due to their ubiquity.

    The pans are just one potential source and a particularly notable one because they’re in contact with food.


  • It’s perfectly fine so long as none of the coating gets in your body, but given you’re making food with it, there’s a high chance it will.

    If it get’s too hot it will off gas, if it gets scratched with something harder than it (like a metal spatula, or salt grains) it will flake off. So you should use plastic or wood utensils when cooking in one, and the black plastic utensils have their own issues with often being made from recycled plastics that have fire retardants mixed in, which can leach out.

    You can be safe with them but it requires you be careful and deliberate with use. Personally, I think it’s easier just to use something else, even if that means taking the time to learn about how to use them well.

    “ No you don’t understand it will improve user experience!”

    We’ll i’m a users and it’s not improving my experience.

    “Noooo it’s intuitive and more human way to interface!”

    I’m sorry but I don’t find it intuitive to have to speak in riddles and hypotheticals to convince the search engine that it should tell me something.

    “Ok but these are just teething issues the tech will improve over time.”

    Then put it back in the fucking oven because it ain’t ready yet. Stop forcing me to participate in this shitty alpha. If you can’t improve this any further without public trials then I’m pretty sure it will never be a viable technology in the roles it’s being forced in to.
