How are you supposed to disclose you wrote it? You just include the authors in the cite. You don’t write “as I(we) claimed/proved in [paper]”, you wrote “as claimed/proved in [paper]”. Who cares if you wrote it or not. It should stand by itself.

What has the north pole to do with Christmas? Santa lives in Rovaniemi, Finland. Jesus was born in the middle east. Presents are made in China. Your house is whatever it is, surely not on the north pole.

But santa lives in Finland…

It’s a whole different caliber of right wingers. Some of them not even retards, which makes them much more dangerous, but more predictable. The only thing so far that has been positive for trump is how monumentally stupid he is an how lazy he is, which prevents him from implementing a coordinated plan, it’s just random destruction here and there.

Which won’t kill (hundreds of) thousands of people, like the covid policy, or usaid, or epa, or CDC shutdowns. It won’t abduct people on the street. It won’t ban certain religions from entering the country. It won’t sell pardons, or shit coins, or shares in a scam to directly benefit the president. It won’t crash the economy. It won’t put kids in cages. It won’t put state secrets in bathrooms, sell classified info to Russia and won’t rape anyone.

This wouldn’t make it to the top 10 stupid ideas of any week across the pond. Over there you need ID to buy bread and groceries are a hoax (according to the president).

Does Santa accept PRs?

Same way. But there’s a difference between proposing a VPN ban and nuking a hurricane.

Well, you collectively elected Trump for president.

As it should be. This is not food, shelter or healthcare, let them gamble and the shareholders or customers pick up the tab. Nobody needs paramount, if it’s too expensive, cancel it.

I grew up with real ones but became lazy. Plus I lived for a long time in a 22m2 studio and no real tree would fit so we bought a skinny artifical one. A realistic one with some asymmetric branches and high quality stiff needles.

Still going strong after 10+ years and moving twice, will probably last another decade.

You should try buying a carp!

Only if you’re not careful

Stainless is just a piece of metal. Indestructible. No rules. Requires some skill to avoid food sticking, but it is doable. You can cook anything, anyhow and clean it however you want.

Non-stick is… well, non-stick, but there’s a ton on rules. No metal, no dishwasher, no stacking, … However they are really non-stick, no skill required.

Cast iron is like a middle ground. You cannot ruin the pan, but you can easily ruin the coating: no wine, no tomato, no lemon, no soap, no dishwasher, etc. And the non-stick effect is weaker than Teflon or ceramic, it still requires skill to use.

As a hobby cook I have never gotten into cast iron, I use 90% stainless steel and 10% non stick (mainly for pancakes) and for my wife who doesn’t want to fiddle with temperatures with stainless.

Welcome to the club, it’s called everyone and we meet at the bar.

BONK!

It has for a decade, since Windows 10 basically.
