I should really try making a vegan version of my chili. I subbed TVP, soy sauce, and marmite for ground beef in my bolognese and it came out pretty good.
I imagine the same thing could work with chili.

What if… mildly freaky, enough to embarrass them infront of their co-workers but not enough to make the co-workers deeply uncomfortable.

Lodge used to cast with a much finer sand, obviating the need to grind, mill, or sand down the roughness, but they moved to a coarser grit due to worker safety regarding inhaling the super fine sand that was used.

You can wash it with soap so long as it’s a surfactant soap and not an old timey lye based soap. Like modern dish soaps are perfectly safe. Just don’t like, soak it in water for a long time, water will seep between the layers of seasoning if left to it’s own devices and start rusting the metal.
If crud does stick to it, splash some water in when it’s hot, the high heat will make the water better as dissolving and the steaming will help break stuff off, this works great with most pots and pans TBH.
Avoid cooking anything super acidic in it, like a tomato sauce. The acid will dissolve the iron, arguably a good thing if you’re anemic but it will make the food a little metallic tasting. Will also strip seasoning but that’s not a huge deal since you can easily replace it. Acid in the pan isn’t a big deal, it’s just when you leave it to sit there for a while where it will start to soak up iron.

Oh boy! Something tangential to my special interest! In the late 1800s and first half of the 1900s bicycle mounted infantry units were a thing. Generally not fighting from atop the bikes, but rather maneuvering whole companies to position, and carrying supplies. Largely with advent of mass motorization they fell by the wayside but they held on for quite a while. The Dutch and Belgians had significant infantry formations on bicycles. The Japanese used them extensively in the invasion of Malaya and Singapore. And they were the back bone of NVA logistics during large parts of the Indochina Wars. The US had a few experimental units but they never saw service in a war. A bunch of armies used them for message runners.
For a force that couldn’t afford to support a large fleet of trucks, that were operating in conditions that trucks could not handle, or that were attempting to minimize their foot print to avoid air strikes, bikes served a huge role. They sit as a middle ground between trucks and simply having everyone walk. Not needing fuel, being able to handle rough terrain, faster movement than walking, and carrying significantly more than a single person can with a backpack.
Motorcycles also do a fair amount of use for similar reasons. The Soviet’s in WW2 also had large recon and exploitation forces on motorcycles, and there are lots of examples of paratrooper units using them as carriers for anti tank weapons and mortars.
We’re starting to see E-bikes show up in some modern conflicts now as well.

So generally, in the PRC, the central government will put out a request or state a problem, and then provinces will attempt to implement a solution independently. If the central government likes the out come of one of the trialed system they might make it national policy.
That’s basically what social credit was. The central government gave a vague cryptic request for potential solutions about low trust in modern society, and a bunch of different provinces implemented various ideas, some via contract to private companies. Some provinces didn’t trial anything, some trialed systems that were basically just credit scores, some trialed a system of ranking “how good of a citizen you are” and gave gift cards and stuff to people who scored high.
Ultimately, the central government choose not to adopt any of them and the various trials were spun down. So, social credit was a lot of things, and thus multiple different ideas of what it was are correct, although a lot of reports on it mixed and matched different parts form different trials to make it sound as bad as possible, and some will just talk about one particularly benign system to make it seem like others are being hysterical. Ether way it wasn’t ever a nation wide thing and is largely defunct now.

on Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
The big problem for me is that there is only one port, so you can ether listen to something, or, charge the phone, not both. Just having two ports would solve this.
Also, not something I really care about but a lot of people do, the headphone jack is an analog output, where as the USB-C is a digital output, and you need an analog signal to run a speaker. So they need to have their own DACs (Digital-Analog converter), and many of the USB-C headphones have poor quality DACs that loose detail. Used to be the DAC was just in the phone, and was generally of good quality.

The US was the first place smartphones took off and in the first couple years iPhone was the smartphone, so the initial set of adopters got iPhones because android wasn’t really a consideration. Then the network effect, people got what their friends or family had. Also, since a lot of people get their phones payed for through their cellular carrier contract, they not super price sensitive since the cost was buried in a monthly bill.
So lots of people are used to IOS, and don’t see a reason to switch. Especially now with the one major differentiator, walled garden vs open platform, is disappearing with Google locking down their platform.

on Flock Is Losing Dozens of Contracts as Controversy Grows in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
most people are generally not ok with being tracked and surveilled. It’s only the fact that they aren’t aware of how wide spread a given system is that lets these things grow.
With computers, phones and the internet, the surveillance is not super visible, or the implications of it are not so visceral. People always have this idea that they can just choose not interact with it. So it’s much less prominent of a worry for most people.
But with a networked camera in a public space recording everything, able to easily map every trip someone makes by car (which is basically all trips in much of America). That sets off alarm bells. That’s an immediate “what the fuck? Who said you could do that?” From most people.
Flock was betting no one would notice, or that no one would care. They’re so chronically online, tech business brained, that they failed to understand that most people see a meaningful distinction between the internet and the real world. This was inevitable, and now it’s a huge boondoggle and their company is probably cooked long term.
As far as discord is concerned, I’m a proud citizen of Albania now. Much like Eric Adams.
