I hate that people are shit and will ruin any economic/political system no matter how high-minded it may have otherwise been.

A Pixel 8 on contract was free for me if I commit three years with my provider. I think I will get seven years support from GOS which is a worthy enough lifespan for an everyday smartphone

Cast iron is to sear the bajesus out of steak. Nothing else can blacken the steak crust to my satisfaction without inadvertently overcooking the middle.

I hate it for everthing else.

A tiny cheap teflon pan just for 1-2 fried eggs and nothing else.
