  • Do you know of a product that can restore shine to powder-coated enamel cookware?

    Jump

  • Thanks!

    Yes, I think that’s the one. It was more expensive when I bought it, and they’ve since discontinued it, which is likely why it’s out of stock.

    I do like the white interior, since it more closely matches the one my gran left to me that was rusted beyond use.

    $30 is kind of a lot for my budget, and I prefer to repair things rather than replace, because consumption bad. That’s a good metric for effort and materials, tho, so thanks!

    edit to your edit: I have the bright cherry red one, which doesn’t seem to be available on eBay. It looks pink or salmon because I ruined the outer coating, but it was a glossy cherry red like in your first link before I adulterated it.

    Thanks for all your research!

  • The product description said ‘powder-coated enameled finish’, and I had thought ‘enameled’ may have referred to the outer layer I destroyed. So now I’m just dealing with the powder coating.

    I think I’ll try your recommendation first – it’s the most food-safe and makes the most sense to me. Kinda worried I’ve irreparably ruined it without re-coating and re-firing it. I hope that’s not the case, and the ‘enameled’ part referred to the white inner bit which didn’t dull in the soak.

    e: maybe someone who knows more about these terms than me will chime in? I know a little about them because my grandmother taught ceramics and my father is in aviation where they do powder coatings, but not enough, obviously.

  • Oh, like the kind for cars?

    That’s a great idea, thanks! If it works, I can send it through the dishwasher a dozen times and it should be fine, right? It’s the outer coating and I don’t plan to lick it much.

    Thanks for the suggestion!

  • I have some of that, but I’ve had it dull proper enamel fired coatings before because it’s very abrasive, so I’m scared to try it on this.

    It’s great for knives and other bare metals. I guess it can’t make it much worse, though, so I’ll try it in a small area, thanks for the suggestion!

  • I’m hoping to, thanks! I’m not sure what to polish it with, though, especially because it would have to be food-safe…

  • Bill Burr calls on 'billionaires to be put down like rabid dogs' in podcast

  • They’re quite rare, but a few do exist, we just never hear about them.

    People like Chuck Feeney, who ‘gave away his fortune in secret for many years, choosing to be anonymous, and donating more than $8 billion in his lifetime.’

    The famous ones hoarding wealth are all sociopaths.

  • The only way I can think to describe is kind of like, you know when you’re driving over rumble strips in your car, and you can feel the vibration in your body? A human hearing sound would be like the vibrations at, say, a moderate speed, and a dog would hear/feel them at a slower speed. A hummingbird would feel them at so slow a speed, they could almost feel each bump separately.

    I’m not sure how to explain the accompanying pitch, except that it’s like a shift in colour – when the sound slows down, it also lowers in pitch, so an analogy could be that if a human would hear a medium pitch (which we could call blue), a dog would hear a lower/deeper pitch (which in this analogy would be a deeper/darker blue).

    Does that help, or am I making it more confusing?

  • I taught myself programming in the 80s, then worked myself from waitress and line cook to programmer, UXD, and design lead to the point of being in the running for an Apple design award in the 2010s.

    But I cared more than anything about making things FOR people. Making like easier. Making people happy. Making software that was a joy to use.

    Then I got sick with something that’s neither curable nor easily manageable.

    Now I’m destitute and have to choose between medicine and food, and I’m staring down homelessness. (eta I was homeless from age 16-18, and I won’t do that again now, with autoimmune dysautonomia and in my mid-50s, even if the alternative is final.)

    Fuck these idiots who bought their way into nerd status (like Musk) or had one hot idea that took off and didn’t have to do anything after (this fucking guy). Hundreds or thousands of designers and programmers made these companies, and were tossed out like trash so a couple of people can be rock stars, making more per hour than most of us will see in a lifetime.

    Slay the dragons.

  • Much more is relative.

    For someone like me, it means getting off the Internet and actually showing up.

    Yes, thank you for that. That’s much more for many people. If you actually do that, it will be awesome.

    Might I ask you for even more, though? You’re already starting to do it, but will you speak out to people IRL like you’re doing with me? Challenge their views like you’re doing here? It really helps people to think critically.

  • If that’s what you took from my comment, I’m sorry. Obviously those are things we should do.

    My point is we’ve been pushing people to do exactly those things for decades (eta and have been doing them ourselves) and it hasn’t worked. We need to do much more than that now.

  • I’m just saying we need different, more modern strategies. What we’ve been doing doesn’t work.

    We can do better. I don’t know the answer, but we can’t keep doing the same things.

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lays out battle plan against 'shockingly dim' Trump White House

  • So it's time to take a fucking step back and ask why.

    Obviously we should ask why. But any answers we come up with in response to whatever strategy we’ve been using will be horribly outdated already because we’re no longer operating under even a veiled democracy.

    That was the biggest answer to ‘why’ this last time. Because this is outright, honest to dog fascism. That’s why nothing worked. Because you cannot fight fascism with normal discourse. Because Dems, the media, and everyone still tried to pretend we were working under the status quo when we absolutely were not, and anyone trying to call that out was treated as some kind of alarmist. And the fascists know this, and take advantage of it in their propaganda. Most of us don’t want to believe there’s a true, real, legitimate fascist movement, and fascists use that against us.

    It doesn’t actually matter how good Dem candidates are – Dems could run Jesus himself, seen by all as descending from on high and streamed simultaneously on TikTok, YouTube, and Twitch, and it wouldn’t have mattered. They would easily reject Jesus and get all the centrists to oppose him. We’re in an unprecedented age of propaganda owned exclusively by a handful of sociopaths who know they can buy sentiment, views, and votes. They did, and there’s little we can do about it.

    It doesn’t matter what democrats say or do at this point. We’re past that.

  • Bit late. I appreciate her efforts to resist, and we all need to do that, but it honestly is too late now. The time to resist this was last year. Now we’re in disaster recovery, which requires a whole different kind of resistance, and it feels like even people like her don’t quite understand where we are now.

    Because of all the people who haven’t fucking listened to the warnings, we’ve entered actual fascism, and regular resistance won’t work anymore. Thinking it will only makes more of us believe small actions or Strong Words will save us. This isn’t 1930 Germany like we were warning last year, it’s 1939 Germany now, and der führer is beginning to build the camps.

    Are you going to keep ignoring us when you’re ruffling the ashes of your compatriots from your hair? I honestly believe you will.

  • So this is weird: my ancestor in the US in the early 1600s tried to sell Bronks Farm (now the Bronx) to foreign investors and got his left ear cut off, hanged till nearly dead, then banished to New Jersey. That was apparently a punishment at the time.
