I miss the local community Reddit has/had - meaning vibrant town/city subreddits. The one for my town here on Lemmy is just one dude (@ickplant you’re doing your best) but it just doesn’t have the critical mass.

Sure are! They’re all steel.

Yes! That’s it - Matfer. I think America’s Test Kitchen recommend them and I’d follow ATK off a cliff on kitchen advice. So far, the pans have been fantastic, but I can’t imagine there’s a whole lot to go wrong with a carbon steel pan.

I think the primary difference, at least in the hobby farmers I know who are young, idealistic, and just getting started, is that they aren’t expecting to scale the operation beyond some arbitrary point - beyond which, it stops being fulfilling and starts being a giant pain in the ass. Conversely, the dairy farmer I know who has the largest operation in the county is a stand up dude, who avoids cutting corners but is getting squeezed big time by small artisanal operations with street cred and big, industrial operations with margins. The middle, where there used to be a huge swath of family farms, is a bloodbath of debt and suffering.

I imagine most of these new hippies are trying to stay small.

Bonus points if you budget a little extra and make friends with a local upholster. They can work magic in turning that solid, but ugly, chair from something your grandma would have to something you might find in a design magazine.

Carbon steel pans. You season and treat them like cast iron, but they develop a beautiful, smooth, non stick surface. I just made two over easy eggs in mine. They’re basically all I use anymore - no PFOx, no muss.

I thought I bought two from a French company that started with an ‘M’ but I can’t figure out which brand 😂

Your dream is Harris?! Shit, no. No, no, no.

My hope is that Biden is staying in the race until the 11th hour to be the lightening rod and the dems have someone better to step in.

Of course, that would require some intestinal fortitude and a few brain cells and I don’t think the dem leadership has that.

So good to see WI get out from under this bullshit. If the people want (R)’s, let them get them fairly. Gerrymandering (in either direction) is bollocks.

(post comment edit - if you put things inside < > as your entire post, Lemmy will eat it. Cool>

Yep - I bought sync way back in the day and paid less than $5 for it. Used it for years and years across multiple devices until I switched to iOS. I got my moneys worth for sure - $20 seems like a bargain.

No doubt, it’s a chicken or egg problem.

It’s French, I suspect based on the entity receiving the payment
