I have no opinions about nitro-infused steel, but: Those are just sources of nitrogen for whatever process is used. In other words: there should be no remaining CN- (cyanide) or NH3 (ammonia) on the pan after manufacture because the N(itrogen) has gone into the alloy. Always a good idea to give your pans a wash before use anyway, of course

With the caveat that I haven’t been in VA Beach for fifteen years, I wonder why the military presence wasn’t mentioned? Especially if the ytuber is going to mention Norfolk. Those two cities aren’t large because of tourism, it’s the number of bases in the area. Did I play tourist and meander the boardwalk while I was stationed there? Yep. Just like the rest of my shipmates.

Ngl I stopped watching after 2.5minutes, partly because video essays are not my thing, but also I didn’t understand why skylines were brought up for various cities and not really connected to the main content by that point.

I knew a guy who built little one person helicopters as a hobby. He bought kits for that, though

Fun fact: sometimes he would take his pet skunk up into the sky with him

I made my earlier comment because you said that it isn’t a disability because there’s medication for it. I’d like to add more to it if you feel like reading.

There is a spectrum for ADHD, and many kids who were diagnosed with it grow up to be functioning adults who don’t need medication. There are also many children diagnosed with ADHD who grow up and can’t function in society.

It’s a little different when we’re diagnosed as adults. Some people just wonder why they do some things differently than their peers, but they aren’t disadvantaged because they are neuro divergent. Others similarly choose to use support from family, friends, and therapists to develop coping skills because they are on the more mild end of the spectrum.

I am not part of those groups. I was diagnosed at 35 because I’ve had an extremely difficult life, and it mostly boils down to ADHD. As soon as I was medicated, I was able to start working towards my goals, and I’ve earned a few achievements that I’ve always wanted. The motivation was there, but my ADHD symptoms were so severe that I was at a disadvantage. I dont want to be disabled, but that’s the language available to me for my situation

Medication is a privilege that many with ADHD can’t access. It also doesn’t work for everyone. Are those people not disabled?

Also, ADHD is more than struggling to focus, or to sit still. Many of us struggle to start tasks, manage money, keep things tidy, or manage time. These issues can cause so many problems in life, ranging from inability to hold a job to relationship issues. Once the medication wears off, these symptoms rise back to the surface; because ADHD medication isn’t a cure, it’s symptom management.

Wow. I’ve been vegan or vegetarian for decades and I’ve never heard of blanching tofu. Gonna have to try that tonight!

My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don’t remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn’t really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes

I always say eldritch blast like Falcon Punch in my head

Is it pronounced tomato or tomato in Nahuatl?

I don’t understand what confiscating the weapon (and doing nothing else) even really achieves when the murderer owns a company with the word “militia” in the name.

My boy cat has always given me very affectionate, but forceful, cuddles under my chin, especially when scared. Which reminds me that my old lady cat always buries her face in my elbow when she’s scared.

So, I’ll just have to pick up every cat and see who trusts me enough to use me as a blindfold lol

Magritte makes me feel the same way

It feels like the difficulty meter has been broken lately

This may not be accurate anymore, but ~15 years ago I got my foot in the door as a game tester by showing a history of alpha and beta testing. I can go into more detail about my interview process if you want, but the point I wanted to make is that you don’t need to be a programmer or artist to work in the game industry.

Broader advice is to take what you love and instead of doing exactly that - make a lateral transfer to a different industry. Making good beer and making good pizza dough take the same skills, their end products are what differs

He can’t remember her name unless someone else says it first

Where did you get twenty-something from? No, I consider people in their twenties to be young people.
