Republicans believe government cannot and will not work. Elect them and they will show you. 😉

Oh, we know, and we’ve tried. Since we’ve been married, this little one is our 9th cat, and I’ve never seen or had one so resistant to being touched.

Yeah, that’s what I did for a wok. They make cast iron woks, but the weight defeats the entire purpose.

I thought OP meant “arrested for official actions”, there have been ICE members arrested for other crap, mostly due to them hiring anyone with a pulse.

There’s no stamina required, they haven’t had to speak and hold the floor for decades now. All they do is call a filibuster and that’s it.

It only takes 51 votes to remove that unconstitutional rule, but neither side is willing to do it because they want to use it when they’re in the minority.

A reasonable compromise would be to make it like it was in the old days, anyone wanting to filibuster must speak and hold the floor for as long as they can.

Mom is suffering from shrinking family syndrome (people keep dying) and so she wants everyone home for Christmas, but TBH, I’m not confident either my wife or myself will be fit to travel by then so… 🤷‍♂️

Might just be us, our son and his wife…

Beat the shit out of each other seemingly randomly, then immediately go back to licking each others ears.

Ours, you go to pet her and she’s like:

People just liked it better that WAY!

0… so far!

Agreed, but when the messaging propaganda has been “MS13! We’re going after the worst of the worst!” and the reality is arresting Abuelas with no criminal records who have been here 40 or 50 years… yeah…

Green Onions.

Just saying, we have a cat living in our own house who is not that friendly…

I PM’d one of the accounts before they self immolated and got AN answer, I don’t BUY the answer, but it is AN answer. 😉

Copper pans are fucking GORGEOUS though…

If your kitchen means your pans go in a cupboard, don’t spend the money on copper pans.

I cheat and use an æbleskiver pan. 😜 No flipping required, you just rotate them with a skewer.

Danger is in eating too many without realizing it. LOL.

For gas vs. electric vs. induction vs. infrared:

I’ve never cooked on gas so I can’t speak to it. I always had normal electric ranges.

Then I got an induction stovetop and it was a game changer. Instead of using a heating element to heat the pot, it uses magnets to agitate the atoms in the cookware and that turns the pot into a heater.

For example, I can boil a pot of water in 2 minutes, faster than a microwave.

The downside is you HAVE to use magnetic pans for it to work (like cast iron.) If you have, say, an aluminum pan, you have to get a stainless steel plate, which will heat the pan and the pan heats the food, just like a normal electric stove.

Infrared works the same way as electric, it heats the pot which heats the food.

I got started when I inherited my grandmothers Le Creuset dutch oven. She purchased it in the 1950s and it’s still going strong…

Then I found they had an outlet store near me…

Non-Stick, no matter what brand, will need to be replaced every 3-5 years. So, yes, enameled cast iron is more expensive, but when you compare 1 set of cast iron to 15 to 25 sets of non-stick… yeah…

Cast iron also retains heat better than non-stick, carbon or stainless steel, aluminum or copper.

But it is HEAVY AS SHIT. You aren’t hand flipping pancakes in cast iron.
