As an American I've been living in the UK for almost 5 years now, and I can safely say I've never met anyone who hates America as much as me. πŸ’ͺ🏻

Correction: I have met other Americans who might.

Under certain conditions, thin layers of oil polymerize and bond to a surface. It's the same mechanism as cast iron, but smooth stainless steel holds onto the coating more tenuously than cast iron.

Next time with stainless try this: bring a little oil to smoke point, wipe the pan dry, back on the heat. Then add cold oil and your food. It's pretty nonstick, but it only lasts for one use.

For readability on a screen, I find one space adequate. In print, I typically prefer two spaces, unless it creates visually distracting channels that run down the page. Sort of how serif fonts look better in print, it's a question of comfort.

Part of the trouble is that Nazism had co-opted so many people by then that to literally murder them all would be another Holocaust. At the end of hostilities, nobody had the stomach to murder like 10% of all Germans.

The third reich did have its fifth columnists however, and people too often give them short shrift in their recollections. If there were a few more in the right place, I like to think a lot of lives could have been saved, maybe the whole thing stopped earlier.

I was going to say, I read somewhere at uni that if Jupiter was 14 times as large, it would have become a brown dwarf.

Because they're bad? Very bizarre for a fan not to know this.
