  • A big problem with teflon pans is that many people don’t realize that there’s a correct way to use them, and many incorrect ways.

    Aside from the obvious stuff like using metal utensils, a huge mistake a lot of people make with teflon pans is that they heat the pan way hotter than it needs to be. Not only does this typically ruin whatever you’re trying to cook, but if you heat up an empty teflon pan past a certain temperature, it will begin to release harmful vapors. So if you put the burner on high and let your pan get hot while you spend 10 minutes preparing other things, you’re just blasting tons of vapors into your kitchen.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that low-grade teflon poisoning is way more common than we realize.




  • Listening to audio would be the least effective and most expensive method of data collection for advertisers. It’s not happening. They already have literally over a million data points on you, there’s nothing useful for them to glean from your audio that they don’t already have ad nauseum.

    You see thousands of ads and recommendations every day. You finally found one that was relevant to you. It’s not that deep.



  • I just leave when people do that. A handful of samples isn’t worth playing with people like that.

    If you lack the spatial awareness to stay out of the line of fire, that’s one thing; I’ll happily keep reinforcing your silly little Helldivin’ ass. I’ll even toss you down a Commando to defend yourself with on your way back to your dropped gear. But the moment you make it personal, fuck you, I’m out. Enjoy extracting all by yourself with the eighteen patrols you also kited all across the map to the evac site.




  • It’s hard to tell, because the game doesn’t really give the player visibility to a list of available lobbies, so you kinda just gotta trust that the matchmaking system is doing what it’s supposed to be doing.

    In theory, you should only be sent to a player’s ship if there are no active SOS beacons or otherwise in-progress missions on your selected planet/difficulty combo, because that should be considered the lowest priority for matchmaking.








  • Are you seeing something treadful and I aren’t seeing? Because I’m with him, I don’t see what you’re referring to. I only see one tweet in the article, and all it says is:

    I have reported what I found and my concerns to the authorities @FBI. Hopefully they will look into these MrBeast Telegram Company Chats Logs and other concerns.

    I don’t see any videos, nor any clarification in the article as to what the chat logs are at all.


  • Kbin/Mbin handle microblog posts kinda oddly. They’re not actually attached to the magazine you see them in, in most cases, and it’s instead *bin auto-sorting posts by hashtag. *bin will aggregate all of the microblog content and sort it by the first hashtag listed, and that’ll determine which local magazine that post will appear in.

    So for instance, I could post:

    Just got the high score! #gaming

    And this will show up in /m/gaming for you, even though I didn’t specify any magazine to post it to. I could do that from my Mastodon account, even, and you’d see it there, as well. You can subscribe to local magazines to effectively subscribe to Mastodon hashtags this way.

    Posting microblog content directly to a magazine is a bit weird, as *bin basically just adds a “hidden” hashtag with the magazine’s full address in the metadata. So if you wanted to post a microblog post to this magazine, for instance, you could do that by either selecting this magazine from the list when posting, or you could include #fediverse@lemmy.world as a hashtag from any Fediverse platform, and it’ll show up in the microblog tab on *bin.

    I hope that makes sense; I might not be explaining it properly lol
