network effect. There's fewer people here so there's fewer people here.

Maybe everyone already knows this but you can generally see better in your peripheral vision in low light.
Almost all of your color vision / cones are concentrated in a tiny central area of your retina.
The grey scale / rods are dispersed around that.
In some ways I think night vision is a kind of skill that some people might be better at than others, even if the mechanics of their eyes aren't special.
Yeah me too. I think this is called "coil hum". I notice it with things like usb-c thunderbolt ports. Often you can swap a cable or something and it's resolved.
This. A cast iron pan just stores so much more heat than anything else. IDK the sciency chef-talk but if you like meat to look crusty and golden on the outside but tender on the inside then this is the way.
I basically just completely disregard any bullshit "seasoning" advice, and I've never had any rust or whatever. I don't scrub it with steel wool or whatever but I don't scrub anything with that. Sometimes I put a few cm of water in it and let that boil off any crusted on whatever.
