At that point, no license will help you, because they’re outright ignoring the law.

He also did a video where, Brityank that he is, flew to America, and drove a Tesla from California to somewhere in the Mid-West, purposefully outside of the supercharger network. He doesn’t drive much in England, says he’s not that interested in cars, but likes the Tesla for being “a computer on wheels.” Which is reason number 3,447 why I don’t want one.

Three of those come to mind immediately:

“I hope this is a children’s suicide…video.”

A guy having his head run over by a three-wheeler 20 times in a row. Twice.

A guy falling shoulder first onto a wooden crate 20 times in a row.

Might I suggest Clickspring. It was actually AvE who turned me onto him. Clickspring aka G’day Chris Heah is an Australian man who makes soul-achingly beautiful videos about clockmaking. He’s on a very long project of building a replica Antikythera mechanism, from which has already emerged some serious academic research.

Especially for a show that was really about the interaction between two friends. What you really tuned into the Modern Rogue to see was Brian and Jason screwing around together.

I’m pretty sure I was tricked into reading Anthem, along with Animal Farm.

End of 8th grade, several of the other students were talking about these two books, how the first day of 9th grade at the big scary high school there was gonna be a test on these books, so we had a summer reading assignment.

It didn’t occur to me that precisely half of us had signed up to take literature class in the Spring.

So I borrowed a copy of them and read them…for no apparent reason.

Animal Farm is basically The Soviet Union For Dummies and Anthem is basically That Other Book Ayn Rand Wrote.

I honestly think at least two years of high school literature is designed to beat the love of reading out of teens. The curriculum is full of tedious hateful bullshit.

Kurzgesagt is pretty bad for that.

Yeah I was afraid of that.

Ashens, but I can understand why, he’s been on youtube for 19 Earth years. He’s doing the same schtick he’s been doing since there was hope in the world, there’s basically no object that fits on a sofa he hasn’t snarked about. An entire registered voter’s life ago, he would do some quite edgy content, but it’s faded to snark. I wish him all the best, he seems to be an okay guy.

The Modern Rogue face planted hard. I think Brushwood tried growing the business bigger and faster than it could, while making a few obvious mistakes.

It is amazing how bloated software has gotten. Used to be, your computer’s OS fit on a floppy diskette.

It’s not like these licenses require approval by any regulatory board. Remember you can write “all rights reserved” on any of your copyrightable work and extend no license to anyone whatsoever, or you can voluntarily release your work into the public domain and relinquish your copyright entirely, or anything in between.

The thing that gets me about the whole tradwife influencer scene: They find an audience. Almost entirely of women.

Sandstorm - Darude.

In all other parts of the world it’s not guaranteed to start a riot.

I typed it in his voice.

Oh they’re working on bringing that back.

Vibe profits.

There might be a world, after we’ve pulled the last billionaire’s lungs out, when humans are back in control, that we can do research into defecating video that can identify bowel cancer just by letting a computer watch someone take a dump.

We do not yet live in this world though.

Sometimes it’s not about metal hot. It’s about how fast or slowly metal gets hot.

A lot of pans are made of stamped sheet metal and quite thin. They get hot very fast, they cool down very fast. With something like a gas burner, you can get a ring of very hot metal where the flames are, and relatively cool metal everywhere else.

Cast iron is thicker, and has a lot more thermal mass. It heats up slower, it evens that heat out, and it hangs onto that heat.

If you were to try to bake cornmeal in a sheet steel pan, it would burn. The metal would get too hot too fast. I prefer cast iron for making rues as well, because you get much more even heat.

Sometimes you do want a lighter pan for concentrated high-heat applications. Woks are designed for cooking over a very hot, very concentrated flame so there’s one very hot spot in the pan, perfect for stir frying.

If you know what you’re doing, you can cook non-stick in a stainless pan, it just takes some oil. Famously, cast iron pans can be “seasoned” or coated with a thin layer of extremely smooth polymerized oil which forms a non-stick surface, like DIY teflon.

So, honestly, I would recommend having a couple of each and choose the pan for the kind of cooking you’re doing.
