My 50 year old Kenwood mixer stays on the counter for one reason only and that's because it's too goddamn heavy to be lifting back and forth. Also I sometimes get inspired to bake just from seeing it on the counter, which is a nice plus.

I prefer carbon steel cubes myself but cast iron is nice too.

I don't even remember the last time I seasoned mine. Definitely not even once a year.

Yeah the durability is the greatest thing. I can use metal spatulas and scrape away. No need to baby it, it's literally a hunk of metal. I don't even give a shit how the seasoning looks anymore, if food doesn't stick badly it's all good.

You don't need any special equipment. Chain mail is useful to have in general though (not just for cast iron), but not mandatory.

Imo pans just take too much space in the dishwasher so I'll just wash them immediately after use. Takes like 30 seconds because the pan still being hot helps immensely. After drying I like to oil them, just because I like how they look oiled, literally no other reason.

I prefer to have all 3: stainless, cast iron and carbon steel. Personally I have a carbon steel wok that does double duty as a frying pan.

And those have taken over all the damn tv remotes. I designed and 3D printed a replacement faceplate for my Samsung tv's remote that hides them, out of retaliation (they were in a spot where I accidentally hit the netflix button when trying to pause what I was watching, which was annoying af).

I really don't understand why anyone feels the need to hate on a desktop environment. It's not like on windows or mac where it is what it is and you're stuck with it. If you don't like it, just shut up and switch to something else (unless you like your de overall but have some improvements in mind of course, no reason to shut up for that).

Bullshit. That 30% cut pays for all the features that make steam a better store than any other store. Those features are all free for the gamers, because they are essentially paid by the devs in that cut.

If that cut wasn't worth it, I don't think Microsoft, ea and others would have come back to steam after trying to make their own stores (and failing).

How can it be a monopoly when I can just download another store with a click of a button? Which I have also done, and even bought games from those said other stores, but the experience was just completely miserable compared to steam, up to the point I've considered rebuying those games on Steam.

Yeah the infuriating part is not the mere existence of bedrock, but the fact that they purposefully made it suck. It could have been much better than the java version if they did it right.

Agree. I just wish bedrock was a straight port from the java version instead of being borderline ruined, the only difference should have been better performance from not using java and it being rebuilt from ground up.
