You definitely don’t need to oil it after every use. The main reason for applying oil is to keep it from rusting while it sits. If you just use it at least once a week then that rust isn’t a concern. Even if it did rust you can just scrub the rust off before you use it.

There is all sorts of special care you can do to cast iron if you really get into it. But if you really don’t care then you can just use it and wash it exactly like any other pan without issue. The whole soap thing is a myth now a days because modern soaps don’t contain lye anymore. Soap is entirely unnecessary in cast iron but it won’t hurt it. Seasoning is adequately acheived just by actually cooking with it. You really don’t need any special process to season it unless you deliberately stripped off all the old seasoning. You can cook acidic foods in it without issue. I do tomato sauce in mine all the time.

Coated pans require way more care. At least I can use proper metal utensils in my cast iron.

It’s pretty hard to ruin good cast iron. A good cast iron pan could spend a year at the bottom of a lake and all it would need is a good scrub and reseason to be good to go again.

About the only thing I’ve seen that makes them completely irrecoverable is when people use them to melt lead. Also you can crack the cheap ones in half with thermal shock.

It’s also my retirement plan! Good ol’ 409mm1k

Jesus Crist! I get wanting to overkill serving yourself a Kurt Cobain breakfast special, but where the hell did you even find a 409mm gun? Do you own a battleship?

Why is the bad egg layers mascara running?

Tampons have been used to manage menstruation for thousands of years. In the 1800s they first started trying to used them for bullet wounds. So they weren’t invented for bullet wounds.

Also, just to be clear, don’t stick a tampon in a bullet wound. They are not at all an effective dressing. In all cases you are far better off just holding a wad of gauze or similar over the wound and applying pressure. A tampon isn’t large enough and doesn’t go deep enough to do any good as packing.

You can get caffenated water; I’m sure it would carbonate just as well as regular water.

To be fair, if you cherry pick threads then you can find some pretty wild stuff on .world too. People also like to cherry pick stuff for things like “sjw fail” videos all the time as well and those things aren’t indicative of the whole community.

I’m on dbzer0 which is federated with hexbear and I honestly haven’t noticed anything bad from there. I always heard horor stories about it before I signed up here but it has actually been remarkably tame. I mean, they’re obviously leftist but I’ve seen far far worse tankie shit from just lemmy.ml.

Will the next CEO be bullet proof?

Nah, gotta go with a trainer with a nice and heavy but dull metal blade. That way you still have the pain of smashing your fingers to reinforce the training.

So I’m a first responder at my workplace. I’m literally a trained and certified medical professional. I got called for a coworker passing out a while back. I got there and they had the coworker now consious in one of our conference rooms along with the shift manager. The coworker was still feeling woozy so I start going through the assessment process.

This coworker was a young woman, I am a slightly less young man. I 100% get why the shift manager didn’t want to leave me alone with her. At the same time though, I am bound by HIPAA, the shift manager is not. I can’t disclose any medical information she tells me to anyone, the shift manager has no such restriction. So now I’m left trying to figure out how to ask my patient some rather personal medical questions with a lookie lou sitting right there listening to everything she says. That is invasive and uncomfortable when I’m asking about shit like her period (because low iron can be an issue) but becomes especially problematic when one of the questions I need to ask is if they’re using any drugs (I work in a manufacturing plant, it happens). I don’t record that they are if they say yes and I can’t tell anyone (I just monitor for a bit in case of OD and ensure they get a ride home), but nobody is ever going to say yes to that question with their bosses boss sitting right there. Luckily the shift manager eventually got called away for something and I had a brief chance to ask those questions.

Like I said, As a man I 100% get why they don’t want to leave me alone with women. At the same time though in situations like that it makes my job several times harder and is a potential legal disaster for me. It wouldn’t be an issue at all if I was treating a guy. Also it’s even more anoying because I’m fucking asexual. I get that they have no way to know that and people lie. I’m just pissed that situations like this get so complicated because the world is full fucking rapist assholes.
