Nate Smith at the 1:40 mark. Wow.
Just a few days ago I posted READ THIS! (if you can). Then I came across this: A conservative colleague said the use of AI to create addiction and device dependency was evil. That is an understatement. These kids rely on ChatGPT not just for information but also to make choices, and for many, that seems […]
Physical activity consistently emerges as the most important factor influencing both absolute physical capacity and the rate of age-related decline. Our longitudinal data are consistent with previous studies showing that regular physical activity can attenuate the decline in physical performance [17, 32–37].

You season a cooking pot?
Personally, no. I once owned an iron skillet that I was attempting to season until someone washed it. Both of my woks are unseasoned.
I don’t understand. What is seasoning a pot or pan or skillet?
Seasoning a pot/pan/wok involves heating cooking oil at the beginning, wiping away excess oil, and allow the wok to cool. Once you start cooking food in the wok, you never use soap and water to clean it. You wipe out the food particles, add oil, wipe again, then store away for the next use.
I think that’s how my late friend used to treat her cast iron skillet.
After multiple uses, the wok develops a coating of oils and adds flavor to any future meals cooked in the wok. It never gets washed.
Isn’t that a breeding ground for bacteria?
I think the heat would kill the pathogens
Of course!
