Sear it in oil. Once the crust is formed you can ease off the heat, add the butter (garlic and herbs too, if you want) once it’s safe, and baste. Basting might cause it to carry over cook a bit more, so be conservative with the core temp.

Here’s why it’s bullshit: it still has Teflon (or whatever). You still can’t use metal utensils, because goodbye nonstick layer. You still can’t get it searingly hot. The uneven surface could make cleaning more complicated. Any Teflon-like nonstick will accumulate wear and tear and thermal expansion stress until it cracks, peels or stops being nonstick, all of which are good reasons to throw it away for ergonomic and (probably) health reasons. Being surrounded by stainless or whatever is going to change none of that.

I would suggest just getting one of each “major kind of pan” - nonstick and either cast iron or stainless will let you do most things. Getting all three doesn’t need to break the bank either. Then you can save the nonstick for the stuff that really needs it, give everything else the heat and surface it deserves.

Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.

Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

No, I just try to. My blocklist is like forty miles at this point

Edit: always entertaining to read rationalizations of “exposing myself to the constant depressing drudgery of political news coverage is like a moral imperative or some shit” btw

What do you mean, “nowadays”? Mobile games always sucked.

It’s not all that far removed from shit people say completely without a trace of irony.

Holy crap, don’t get your dietary advice from this place apparently.

Bottom? This is par for the course.

Depending on what you mean by respect and opinion, yes. If you’re discussing an opinion then someone is probably going to expect you to explain why, that’s a logical point to cover in any such discussion. Even if it’s subjective. If it’s an opinion on something objective, then there’s an actual burden of “proof” and possible consequences, and the stakes rise accordingly.

There aren’t many reasons to “properly” respect an opinion that is irrational (not just subjective), factually wrong (“interpretation” only goes so far), dishonest, or anything like that. I’m skeptical of endorsing any opinion until I know why it is what it is.

“Underrated” and “awesome” tend to just… mean roughly the same thing in this context, and it’s so individual it’s hopeless to try to recommend stuff based on that alone. Popularity or unpopularity doesn’t necessarily speak to how much you’ll like it, either.

Recommendations are easier to give the better you know your tastes, and the better you can describe them.

You can also do some thinking about what you like and why, and see how others describe that song/album/artist/whatever to get some useful starting points. If you want to nerd out, Wikipedia and the like can tell you a lot about musical influences that shaped this or that style, and you can track it down and see if it resonates with you.

As they say, you’re not a train or plane, you don’t need to announce your departure. I do completely get your complaint about the negativity here, though, it’s… a lot. Wanting some distance from that because it’s a bummer is perfectly reasonable.

Best of luck in the future.

All you need is a bulldozer and a cement truck.

GIIINOOOOO!

I’m not sure it’s a specifically named one, but then again there are dozens, and they’re hard to keep straight. In general it is (attempted) rationalization, hand-waving, and kinda… just a bad argument. It does not actually explain why that specific murder was “necessary” - only that it could’ve been.

The intent is to rationalize, but it might not get close enough to a real argument to pin down to a specific (in)formal fallacy.

Bet they’ll patent it, just to make sure nobody can have nice things.

Optical disks have physically stamped “holes” to denote data. There’s no way just reading it would be able to change anything.

Sounds like tuna salad, which is delicious. Add spring onion or red onion or whatever oniony thing you want. Possibly a bit of celery if you’re into that (small pieces so it’s not stringy).

Try some citrus zest and/or juice. The juice is only if the rice isn’t too acidic already.

Oh, and if you’re into spice, sriracha goes on a lot of different things - it is chili sauce with vinegar and garlic, which seems like a good fit. If that isn’t your thing, you can still bring the spice level up with cayenne or whatever chili flake. “Chili powder” could work but often has some un-onigiri-like extra spices.

That links to literature.cafe directly, too, but nice try. People have been saying kbin is screwy with this.

I personally don’t believe that therapy works

You’re wrong, then. It doesn’t necessarily work drastically and for every single person in need of help. However, claiming it does not work period is just wrong.

Direct kbin link since apparently it can’t deal with the !:
