  • I used to watch this after school at a friend's house while I waited for my mom to finish work. They were hooked up to a strange satellite service that (he thought) was connected to some kind of national feed. The result was that all of the local/regional commercials were missing. So, we got the show and one or two commercials; the rest was just blank.

  • I only care if I can hear and I consider myself fairly normal. In the car, 9 is usually where I can hear my podcasts over the road noise. 8 and I miss words. 10, and it eventually gets unpleasant. On the TV, I don't know: I run all the audio through a tuner and it's hard to see the numbers from the couch. Besides, I think it measures in dB, which I don't understand. For most shows, I think it's somewhere in the -30s.

  • We get eye drops by mail from a local specialty vet pharmacy. For our first few deliveries, the mailer contained one plastic bag with a prescription bottle and a second baggie with two green mints. Or rather, I assume they were mints. They were green like mints, but the bag wasn't labeled. I don't think they were individually wrapped, but I don't exactly remember. I'm sure they were thank you mints, but I also couldn't quite bring myself to eat an unlabeled item from a lab. They don't do it anymore, and that makes me kind of sad.

  • [Question] Why does the Le Creuset cleaner say it's for stainless steel?

    Jump

  • Thank you. I think you're probably right about it being acidic (or maybe alkaline). Many essential oils are caustic depending on the concentration, and I'll trust you're right about that being bad for carbon steel. If this stuff is effective on stained enamel, maybe it will rehabilitate our old Lodge some. Fingers crossed.

  • [Question] Why does the Le Creuset cleaner say it's for stainless steel?

    Jump

  • This is different stuff, but I must have been tired and having trouble concentrating when I first read it. This clearly says it's for enameled cast iron. It's only in the warnings that they drop the "enameled" part (i.e., "ONLY for use with Cast Iron and Stainless Steel cookware"). Rereading, I begin to think maybe this is intended more as a stain remover than a normal cleaner since you're supposed to use it on a "degreased and dry surface." I have had regular stainless steel pans that never seemed to take a seasoning (can they even season like cast iron?) without being dirty. Because food stuck so badly, they also often appeared stained unless you really scrubbed. So I guess I can see why you might want something like this. Assuming I'm understanding it correctly now.

    Question

    Why does the Le Creuset cleaner say it's for stainless steel?

  • How has this not come up?

    Jump

  • When enough people know a saying, but don't understand its intent, its meaning drifts. The idea is supposed to be that the existence of an exception proves that there is a rule, with "rule" being in the sense of a generality.

    I learned that from the Grammar Girl podcast and found it interesting enough that it stuck with me (because it was something I'd long wondered). Her example is a sign that forbids skateboarding while school is in session. “You can infer that you are allowed to skateboard at other times. The rule that the exception proves is that skateboarding is generally allowed. If that were not a rule, why would exceptions be made at all?"

  • Also, I liked the part where it asks you consider whether you'd borrowed the range. Who does that?

    "Hey, neighbor, do you have a gas range, I could borrow?"

    "Sure, Bud, it's there in the garage. Just put it back when you're done."

    "Thanks a load! Say, it's burning green. Did you put copper in the burners?"

    "Yes, I did. Just for you! Breath deeply."

  • There's also a difference between not knowing the difference and always getting them mixed up. The diagram doesn't help with the stated problem. Also, it doesn't address the question.

  • As another example, the Cuyahoga River famously caught fire in 1969. That isn't technically the 70s, but I wouldn't have gone near it anytime during that decade.

  • Got it. The Easter Bunny is an immigrant, over 1,500 years old, and has at least one ovipositor. Let me restate the remaining question: Why does it lay/bring Celtic fertility symbols?? I learn so much here.
