I can understand the random person's address, the one that was killed most recently. What I don't understand is how swatters get the addresses of streamers and other gamers. Do people just willingly hand out this information to randoms online?

lol that's so embarassing. a long line of respectable presidents and then a clown businessman.

Do you remember the brand by chance?
Yeah they are The Rock series pans by a company called Starfrit. I was hesitant to try them at first because not many people know about them yet. Been using mine for almost a year now and i've been quite impressed. In some cases, the non-stick surface is not as effective as a brand new Teflon coating. This is a very minor problem though considering how durable the thing is. I use a heavy metal spatula on it constantly and it withstands the abuse. I really like that it's just old fashioned steel, but shot peened. There's no coatings or chemical processes involved in manufacturing them.
^^ The 10" I use. I also have a deep well 12" model that is a little more expensive, but much larger. It fits a lot of food because of the angle on the sidewalls.
Here's an example of what the steel surface looks like:
Except the dimples are a lot more dense/smaller. The beads it is blasted with must be very tiny.

cast iron is the shit! for so many things.. that good scald on potatoes... eggs, stir fry.. fucking pancakes...
screw that non stick stuff. i don't want to be in the next erin brokavich movie for cancer in the water. hexavalent chromium it's what' kids need.
that's what dupont tefal, teflon and all those non stick chemicals are.. and they chip and stuff. fuck that. a good cast iron pan will last for generations. and they season up so well.
dupont is currently dealing w/court cases for stuff in the water from non stick pans.. that shit breaks down on the pan eventually and you eat it.. all you get from cooking w/cast iron is a bit of iron in your food and it's good for you.
I felt similarly for a while. I'm skeptical that Teflon is actually harmful though. They are not very durable anyway, which I found annoying.
One day in Walmart, of all places, I found a pan I thought was interesting. It's made of shot peened steel. They blast the pan surface with tiny metal beads which give it a bumpy surface that looks like a rock, but somehow manages to prevent sticking. It does a fairly good job as a non-stick pan, and you can use metal utensils on it. So far, it has held up to abuse and continues to do so.

well i'm glad for the opinions expressed here, because i also find the second season sloppy and bland. it has some good stuff here and there, but a lot of the magic of the first is gone now. fucking sequels. everyone i've talked to so far thinks the second season is the best yet.

lol. cocksuckers.

a black man who was beaten by a bunch of neo nazi's was arrested today, because he injured a neo nazi/white supremacist

I made the mistake of finding out who this Dan guy is, and skimmed through an interview with him where he talks about women. Barf

What a jackass.

The last insurance company left on the Healthcare Marketplace is pulling out of my state. The only available insurance will be private plans, which are expensive. Just posting here to cry about it.
Fuck this -
It seems like a very sophisticated phone. A lot of the technology is unseen, under the hood. A lot of it some people won't need or care for. Doesn't mean it's a bad phone though.

I prefer the fingerprint scanners that sit concave on the back of phones.. It's very natural to slide your finger into it when holding the phone in different ways.
The FaceID thing is cool though. Looks like the X is pretty loaded, but it better be for that price tag.
yea the fingerprint scanner on the (relatively) cheapo Redmi Note 3 is like magic, recognizes the fingerprint in a millisecond and you dont even have to fiddle with it or anything, it's pure magic and so ergonomic. I don't see how Apple can improve that
Yup they're fantastic. Fully unlocks in a split second and you're doing your thing. There's no way i'd prefer FaceID. Though, it does seem Apple is trying to make the FaceID process secure enough to pay for stuff with, etc. Maybe that's what they are going for. It's probably that something like FaceID is more secure than a fingerprint scanner.

Amazing the reporter managed to speak to them kindly.

Nice, thanks for the documentary recommendation. Is a good reminder how dangerous the more extreme people can be.

That guy seems really sincere but did you see that link to that Vic Berger tweet in the comments?

who started the physical attacks?
That's what Trump says
No i'm asking an actual question. Does anyone know who actually started the attacks?

I still feel like despite all of the NK anti-USA banter, the most countries most at risk are nations surrounding them. Launching an ICBM halfway across the globe successfully is not easy. Neighbors next door on the other hand...
Fuck this
Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)
