My life can be divided into before and after David Grusch.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Sometimes - not often - I wonder about Mr. Bean’s childhood.

Magnificent. Overdressed, but I’ll take it.

I've got six burgers in the freezer, but the only three-patty pan that is clean is my Tramontina 12" carbon steel pan, and its steel is rather thin. I tend to default to stainless steel or cast-iron these days. I've got a 10" carbon steel skillet I like, but it doesn't get much use. It's a Merten Storck pan. They sell a 12" skillet, but I don't like the $60 price when I can get cast-iron for half that.
