You don’t need vegetable oils, you need lipids in general. I’ll agree with you that making that source of lipids be vegetable oil is overall healthier than animal fat, though.

But I never said I never ingested oils - I said I was precisely monitoring calories, which in turn could mean deciding not to use oil when eating eggs. I could choose to ingest fats in more tasty or practical ways. Weight gain or loss is a matter of building a caloric deficit or surplus. If you’re going to do that by reducing carbohydrates that’s your choice, go for for it, but do keep in mind some people need to carefully monitor fat intake even if you do not consider weight objectives at all.

I’m just explaining that a pan that forces you to use oil to not stick can’t be honestly called “non-stick” because actual non-stick materials won’t require the oil. Otherwise, every pan is non-stick so long as you use enough oil. Don’t get me wrong: Teflon is poison, it’s bad, we should look for alternatives. But using a lot of oil everywhere to prevent sticking on cast iron means cast iron is not a viable solution to the same degree that teflon was.

Not the ones I own. I should know, back when I was counting calories not using oil when simply frying an egg was an easy trick to monitor and predict the fat intake.

Eh, not really. You can “season” it and if you add eggs with no oil they’ll stick. Of course we forget now, but this is exactly why teflon became so popular so fast, even though cast iron has existed for ages.

My main issue is with calling cast iron “non stick” when things most definitely stick.

The trick of pre-heating it to unreasonable temperatures before adding the ingredients isn’t a property of cast iron, it works on all materials, but it can quickly go wrong and make everything stick. Which is a shame, because teflon is poison and we do really need alternatives.

That’s a loophole that can be used indeed, but keep in mind zero calorie products actually do exist. As in, they have zero calories at all.

Frequently these artificial juice packets are truly zero calories because they can be made with a simple acid, some food coloring and an artificial sweetener that can’t be absorbed or digested by your body.

Such a product does have calories in the physical sense (you could combust them) but they have zero calories from a physiological sense.

VRR works really well already - some Nvidia users might lose extra functionality like Reflex Ultra that, when paired with VRR, can smartly adjust the frame rate cap. But VRR itself works.

HDR is a difficult beast though… It’s hard even on Windows, and very problematic on Linux (though with Gamescope, KDE Plasma and Wayland you can kinda use it already).
