Many Splenda products are mixed with filler, some are mostly maltodextrin, some are even mixed with regular sugar, so that they can be more easily measured.

I had one of these. I really like the idea of it but everything was just a little too difficult to use comfortably and it flexed too easily when used as a screwdriver.

I think if this is allowed it really needs to be tagged and clearly labled. If I come here looking for a product chances are I'm not going to have the skills, tools, or time to make it myself.

If self promotion is allowed I think it needs to be tagged as such.

I switched over almost exclusively to 16 pairs of darn tough women's solid basic crew socks (66% Merino Wool, 32% Nylon, 2% Lycra Spandex) in 2018. That set of socks is still holding up. The backs of the heels are starting to wear thin, but the only actual holes have been due to the dog.

The only reason I recently purchased different socks is that I found I benefit from compression socks, which darn tough does not make anymore. I got sockwell men's elevation socks (31% merino wool, 31% bamboo rayon, 30% stretch nylon, 8% spandex), which offer 20-30mmHg graduated compression. I have not owned them long enough to speak to their durability.

I really like my carbon steel pan but I just had to strip and reseason it after attempting to make some Thai food that was way too acidic for the pan.

Carbon steel can't replace my aluminum core stainless steel pans for anything with lots of tomatoes, citrus, or now I know tamarind.

It's fantastic for crepes though.

There's a comment at the end of the article explaining that the McDonald's machines are somewhat unique in having a nightly pasteurization process that allows them to go two weeks between cleanings instead of requiring nightly cleaning like other machines.

Listeria is a risk if ice cream machines are not properly maintained. Recent case linked to ice cream machines: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/20/us/tacoma-milkshake-listeria-deaths/index.html

Not that there are not clearly other issues at play. Just a couple important pieces of what's going on that were not covered in the article itself.

Or carbon steel if you have the money and struggle with the weight of cast iron. I still have one non stick pan, but find carbon steel works very well for pancakes french toast and crepes.

What features that you want are missing from the free versions of ticktick and todoist?

I'm currently using todoist and the 5 project limit is my main problem.
