After following a star nobody else could see from (probably) Persia.

For the record, you can get myrrh resin for like 20-30 bucks a 4oz sack on Amazon.

A one pound sack of frankincense goes for about 20.

What was more valuable in the first century is anyone’s guess.

but not collapse so much that whoever is holding your gold is still around. (and if you hold it yourself, that it’s still a useful metal. post apocalyptic gold isn’t going to be worth nearly as much because it’s pretty useless outside of ornamentation.)

Flatpak is the demiurge.

Sidney looks like they’re turning into a puddle, what with the magical-looking scalp massage.

Not without content or SEO services and such.

“Giant raging assholes” is a term of respect and honor. honest.

I’d listen to this band. Just saying

Historically, the whole point to the loyalty card coupons was because then they could track your purchases and sell that data on you.

It used to be incredibly valuable, and it techncially still is. But your big box retail stores are going to insane lengths, including tracking you from the moment you pull into their parking lot (including knowing what kind of car you drive,) and how many times you circle, lets say, the lego aisle, or the cookies. They know how long you spend looking at stuff and are selling all of that. (as well as using for marketing to sell you more shit you don’t need.)

it has three hands.

Mom would call it “baby poop” green.

I’d call it pea soup green.

Or puke green.

Depends on what the color was on and howl inoffensive I care to be.

Could also be a (darker) mustard yellow depending on the lighting

Context matters.

“Men make me uncomfortable.” Could or could not be sexist. It would depend on why one feels uncomfortable and how they act on that feeling.

It’s a very fine line.

Given the additional context provided by OP… yeah she’s definitely ableist.

They wouldn’t even care.

Unless you were also grifting the free week trial thingy and not actually paying the subscription. But usually they’ll only offer that once per email account/credit card.

ETA: they do know, they just don’t care if you do or not. It’s pretty normal to roll between streaming services instead of having dozens at one time.

looks fluffy to me. what’s the vet say? go with that.

It doesn’t take an hour to preheat cast iron

FTA:

To preheat over a burner: Set your cast iron skillet over medium heat, ideally on a burner that’s roughly the same size or larger than the pan’s base. If your burner is smaller than the pan, rotate the skillet a few times during preheating to help even out hot spots. Give it 3 to 5 minutes to come up to temperature. Then, and only then, add the oil and let it heat until it shimmers or just starts to smoke. If you’re aiming for a specific temperature, use an infrared thermometer to read the surface directly. For gentler cooking tasks, such as sautéing onions or frying eggs, a surface temperature of around 400°F is usually sufficient. For high-heat jobs like searing a steak or pork chop, let the pan reach a temperature closer to 500°F.

To preheat in the oven: When you need a ripping-hot skillet to put a proper sear on steaks or chops, I recommend using the oven, which can heat the pan evenly while also making it exceptionally hot. Place the empty cast iron skillet in a cold oven, then turn the oven to 500°F. Once it reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove the skillet using oven mitts or a thick kitchen towel (it will be blisteringly hot, so make sure that towel isn’t even the slightest bit damp). …

(emphasis mine.) Ovens typically take 10-20 minutes to come up to temperature, and if for whatever reason your oven is already hot, it won’t take longer than what your oven takes to preheat to to get up to temp.

Either way, I typically start preheating as I’m prepping everything else.

And yes, I know I have an even pan because I not-infrequently make omelettes in them.

“When properly preheated, the heat is very even” isn’t contradicted to that fact.

Cast iron does indeed suck at heat distribution, which is one of the reasons it needs proper preheating.

But once the pan is properly preheated, then that heat is quite even.

Make sense?

This is factually wrong from the jump

…. What you’re seeing as heat distribution is the consequence of having to preheat your pan for so long.

So you’re saying that, properly preheated, the pan has very even heat?

Gee why didn’t I … oh. That’s is what I’m saying.

You’re right, if you don’t preheat, it’s uneven. But you put in the extra effort and it’s rather more even than nearly any kind of pan.

Glad you rescued it and gave it a better home!

Oh yeah. actually have to be careful to not heat it too quickly, though. I’m not sure what that threshold is, though. Inductive cooktops are lovely, though. Much better than electric cooktops, and lacking in all the unpleasant pollution of gas.
