I know it’s not that relevant, but isn’t hydrofluoric acid a different and much more reactive acid than hydrochloric acid?

Now imagine being the teacher, trying to proceed with the class when they first open it at this page.

Totally agreed, that’s the p(l)an.

A very slight clarification here:

cheap to make alumin

um nonstick pans. Mine doesn’t work AND it wasn’t cheap : (.

Scientists are your best bet, I guess. I wish I could cite you studies, but I would have to search, as well. I might soon.

UPDATE: This far all I got was ‘best to be careful’ or ‘staying away never hurts’:

These findings challenge the assumption that PTFE particles are biologically inert, highlighting hazards arising from their physical interactions, especially at the nanoscale. Given the relevance of the co-culture in vitro model of intestinal barrier to human intestinal physiology, the results underscore potential intestinal health risks from PTFE-MNPL exposure. Future studies should focus on chronic, low-dose exposures to elucidate the specific cellular pathways activated by PTFE-MNPL exposure.

Due to toxicity concerns, PFOA has been replaced with other chemicals such as GenX, but these new alternatives are also suspected to have similar toxicity. Therefore, more extensive and systematic research efforts are required to respond the prevailing dogma about human exposure and toxic effects to PTFE, PFOA, and GenX and other alternatives.

I have a non-stick, and I use it rather infrequently. I have read about the effects of damaged coating, and GOD I would throw it away immediately as soon as I see ONE flake in it. Maybe I’m just overreacting it, but I treat it like it was a delicately covered layer of asbestos.

It’s great and smooth NOW, but I’m only using it until I see a noticeably hard scratch. Until then, I get rid of the oil and juices with a paper towel immediately after cooking (and I’m already slightly worried that the dry paper could be too abrasive on the dry bits of the pan), and I leave it to cool down before I wash it to prevent it from heat stress.

I might be overthinking it. But I’m playing with the thought of getting a cast iron or carbon steel already.

Make them eat horse shoes made out of uranium!

Nah, you’re looking at the underside of a 46 billion light years tall bride.

I’m sure a bunch of console buyers are turned away by the “complexity” of buying+installing+maintaining+storing a desktop PC, thinking that they just want to play and they don’t want this seemingly too complicated/boring/sizeable machine with all those cables and connectors.

They just want to buy a box that they turn on and just pick a game to play (like a desktop with icons was that different, but oh well).

The Steam cube will be at least somewhat closer to their more familiar concept.

Even without any nefarious motives, they just do dumb stuff like that. I have Clone Hero installed. Whenever I press Super/Windows and I start typing ‘clon’, the FIRST thing that comes up is ‘Control Panel’, Clone Hero being the second guess.

So whenever I want to quickly start the game, I type ‘clon’, press enter, then get annoyed by the lack of Clone Hero and an unwelcome Control Panel window.

Oh. My bad, it never even cross my mind. So it’s basically the gif equivalent of “This.”?

Why… why did that arm need to be digitally (ha!) added to the otherwise perfectly fine clip?

Selfishness. It’s the root cause of many things that plague the world: people putting themselves/their immediate circle before others, lack of empathy, greed, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, racism, fascism, or pricks listening to stuff through their phone’s speaker in public.

All I see is a zerg overlord.

I sent you my desktop layout, please respond

Huh, I never heard of whackaroo before (neither did my keyboard app)!

It’s a non-English one, and we “break” the “road” (also path) when we cut a path in the forest.

Weirdly, pioneer is ‘roadbreaker’ in my language (as in, making way, like ice breakers do). This would be just a literal name for us.

I’m not mentioning the brand, but I’ve been re-buying the same freshly washed linen spray for the past 2 years, and I would still eat it with a spoon, if I could… even with the poop particles involved.

Not a single mouse, cursor or command line in sight, but somehow they always type 84 letters per second, and get a flashy UI with animation, 3D models spinning, moving, zooming and morphing, or at the very least windows popping up and doing various stuff.

Just like in real life.

And this is Jackass.
