For some replacement computer parts and other such items shipped via FedEx to a certain remote location, all packages came with a coating of dust. Like wash your hands after receiving harddrive box, and then wash again after cutting the box open to keep the anti static bag clean. I guess if a shipping company can get away with it they will? Roofs and floors cost money.
Firefox used to have better redirect limitations, I guess web developers didn't like that and they were noisier than the users that took advantage of it.
I'd like to know this too-- my music player has a few different rendering options for one on screen view, GDI has always used fewer gpu and cpu resources than direct2d and direct3d in 7 and 10 so far?
Yeah, IRC shows it's age, but it's easy to get connected and talking, no phone number verification or required account creation, or other byzantine verification process.
There are drying oils and non-drying oils. Drying oils are what you want to put on your cast iron pan to polymerize the oil into a coating. Tung oil would be a bad choice for chain lubricant because it will gum up, but castor oil should be more suitable for said chain.
I was once an adherent (no pun intended) of this method, but nowadays I saturate my pans with sunflower oil instead.
After every use they get a soapy wipe out, rinse, then a one minute heat with a quarter inch of oil in the pan. The iron just soaks it right up so it’s all ready and greasy for the next fry.
Painting the pans with flaxseed oil leaves an uneven spidery brown pattern. If food sticks to the pan you have to sacrifice some of the coating. It wasn’t a durable solution for me.
I just use a few drops of canola oil, wipe it down, then heat it up enough for any water to start evaporating. By the time it cools, it’s dry. Unless I’m missing something, this uses ~ 1000x less oil. It also avoids build up of oil.
I’d expect your cast iron to become sticky / blistered over time, though I haven’t tried the oil you use.
I have a dishwasher that says an upright glass of vinegar is an option if dishwasher cleaning tablets aren't powerful enough but warns that it is harsh on the plastics and seals.
Mazda and BMW have had something like this in some of their cars for years now. It's been a pleasant experience in the few cars I've used that had that kind of setup.
Here's how that works in a VW for calling back the last person who called you: right-right-right-ok-down-ok-down-down-ok-down-ok-ok. Not exactly what I'd call "pleasant experience". And you must look at the screen for the procedure, luckily they have a small screen for this in the middle of the instruments.
And even better, you can just go into system preferences and turn off what you don't want!
At one point I had a newish version of OS X spotlight pared down to be about as functional as the Windows 7 start menu Search. If I had wanted command-space to be closer in feature parity to a Windows 10 start menu, it's approximately five reasonably intuitive mouse clicks to get to the settings prefpane with those checkboxes. I too have yet to find similarly well made functionality from any other major-ish desktop OS.
I've not used an iPhone for a while, but according to Google search:
> The iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro will ditch 3D Touch in favor of "Haptic Touch," according to Apple's website. ... The new iPhones' Haptic Touch will be responsive to how long users hold down, but not the force of the tap.
I would love that feature, but I think it has to be very integrated into the software and the APIs of the phone OS or no one will actually use it.
I loved force touch but it's gone now. On MacOS the touchpad still has force touch, and hard pressing on a word anywhere in the OS brings up dictionary definitions. It's amazing for language learners.
