If you can get a billionaire or two to back you, the right path can be profitable, and take decades to undo.

I have a Darto No. 25 that feels like it could survive a nuclear bomb.

It’s really heavy, but of course it maintains temperature really well, so it’s great for searing, and being a breakfast griddle.

Some brands have very thin steel: My first carbon steel was a “BK” that has a very thin layer, and therefore heats unevenly on my electric coil burners. I wouldn’t recommend those.

I do like the semi-nonstick seasoning when it’s built up over time, and that is a big advantage over stainless steel.

But of course, stainless steel has its advantages too: Much less fussiness and maintenance to keep them from rusting, worrying about acidic foods, washing and drying immediately after use to prevent rusting, etc.

Sometimes there’s nothing more satisfying than something simple as this.

That was the pon farr, basically when even Spock’s half-Vulcan mating urge couldn’t be repressed anymore.

If you raise a Vulcan without the mental training, you basically get a Romulan.

Then there’s the Wesley Crushers

They are a little scary, but it’s just a stovetop pressure cooker.

They’ve been around for decades before the Instant Pot came along.

Shredded potatoes, mixed with batter and crispy bacon, pan fried in bacon fat.

A breakfast food from the northern part of England.

And, as others have said, a variation of similar potato cake recipes from across Europe.

It was tasty! Satisfyingly filling too!

I think the Backyard Chef said that his particular version of floodies are from the Northeast.

They probably go by other names elsewhere in England.

After reading a couple of latke recipes, why yes!

I do have to say that adding onion to the mix would have been an improvement.

There must be similar potato cake recipes across Europe, I’m sure.

Although conserving the rendered bacon fat to fry the rest of the cake is both tasty and thrifty.

That can’t possibly be right, because it didn’t appear in my YouTube recommendations.

I had hoped that the humans of the 25th Century Federation had evolved or developed educational, political , and other social systems to where bigotry wasn’t a large problem anymore.

Kind of like getting rid of money.

Otherwise, there will always be a dark undercurrent of prejudice and hatred in all human dealings, and maybe the Romulans, Klingons, and other antagonistic spacefaring civilizations are justified in not wanting to deal with a human-led Federation.

Well if WB pays Zaslav more, he’ll do a better job, so that needs to happen at the next board meeting.

In case you were wondering, like I was:

Foals will begin to eat grain, if accessible, within the first month.

yet here you are…

Sopuli may be run by Finns, but according to https://fedidb.com/software/lemmy the servers(?) are in Falkenstein, Germany

Depriving everyone else of physical cash would just hasten the spread of electronic transactions into the corners of the global economy where it doesn’t already reach: Drug cartels, rural villages in 3rd world countries, etc.

And with that, lack of privacy from prying eyes in governments, banking, and corporate databases.

The infrastructure to accept and process cash would quickly deteriorate faster than you, the one sole cash owner, could spend it, and therefore distribute cash back around the world for it to become useful again.

By the time the physical cash could get sorted, spent, and make its way from your one location, to most places around the world, essentially cash would have become almost worthless, because alternative payment methods would be made, and nobody would be used to using cash anymore.

I thought I recognized the name June Squibb. She’s made quite a name for herself lately!

Measles doesn’t look great on camera.
