OK now THAT made me laugh out loud. Thanks, I needed that.

Well, it just so happens that I’m Darth Total Non-Sequitur Bueller, so point taken.

Yes. I know. I am rereading my comment trying to figure out how you and your upvoters think I have the two confused, and I am coming up empty.

Jokes aside, apparently it’s not teflon on parchment paper. Even if it was, it’s not the teflon itself, it’s the manufacturing of it that is problematic in terms of PFAs. Apparently also high heat is sufficient to cause Teflon to degrade and PFAs to be released. It’s crazy that it is still being used in cookware at all. I switched over to cast iron and Asian-grocery store brand stainless cookware, though my new air fryer has teflon and I’m suffering from sunk-cost fallacy in relation to it.

I would prefer you to be correct, because I am reading other comments that say some parchment paper is teflon coated. PFA pollution arising from PTFE production for pots and pans is bad enough, but to use Teflon on a consumable item should be an obvious “ban the fuck out of it already” action item. I mean, all PTFE production should be banned based on what we’re learning about PFAs, but for fucks sake, disposable items? EDIT: google says the vast majority of parchement paper is silicone coated, not teflon coated like one German asserts in another comment in here.

You’re telling me that one of the reasons that water is globally polluted with PFAs is because Germans love David Hasselho… I mean, because German parchment paper is coated in Teflon? EDIT: google says that the vast majority of parchment paper is silicone coated, not teflon. I was starting to get a justice arrhythmia, I can calm down a bit now.

Yes, the judicial branch that is by no means liberal (but occasionally issues decisions protecting the rights of non-Jewish Israelis) but that is hated by the conservatives because it’s not hard-line enough. It’s a fucking nightmare, and people of conscience are speaking up.

No, I’m future you.

What is the scale of this? Am I looking underneath a huge wave or an adva?

The fundamentalist’s lack of a sense of humor is not my problem.

Dungie Chungie?

All I can see is Law and Order.

The clone PC junior for the masses!

Secular scholarly consensus is that Jesus did in fact exist. The religion named after him doesn’t have much to do with his message, and he certainly didn’t resurrect or do miracles, but he did exist. The idea that he is entirely mythical is a fringe theory held by literally one scholar, Richard Carrier. It’s certainly psychologically appealing to many ex-tians but doesn’t hold water.

If you think 90s Radio Shack was great, trust me when I say that 80s Radio shack was even better. They had Heathkit project kits, robots, various TRS and Tandys, plus PARTS. It was so good.

Ah, good old hangxiety.

Why you are being downvoted is beyond me. People’s lack of understanding of the middle east is profound. Easier to hate on Israel with barely veiled antisemitism than take a moment to understand that Israel is politically diverse, and that the religious whackos on BOTH SIDES fuck everything up for everyone. There was a cute arab israeli fellow student that was sweet on me when I was studying ethnicity and national violence in Israel/Palestine. My Christian arab israeli friend warned me not to talk to her, because (points to a group of guys that always looked like they want to murder me) those guys are Muslim Brotherhood and nearly beat to death the last guy that tried to go on a date with her. Even though she wasn’t observant, didn’t wear a head scarf, etc. Yitzak Rabin was murdered by the ultra orthodox. Instead, it’s “Israelis bad, Palestinians good.” It’s fucking ridiculous. Does Netanyahu blow goats? Yes. Does that justify blind support of Palestine? Fuck no.

That is literally the reason, not sure why you “/s” flagged it. The USA would still support Israel without the American evangelicals because of the large jewish population of the USA, but Israel would have a much more conciliatory approach toward the Palestinians.

No. Military in-kind assistance only since 2007. Before that, substantial financial assistance from 1971 to 2007.

Downvoted for use of “cuck” - I don’t know anything about you, but your word choice causes me to have angry feelings toward you.
