We use them, put a few drops of lavender essential oil on them before drying sheets and towels.

They eliminate the static, and don’t contain the chemicals that dryer sheets do. I was kinda shocked at the shite in those dryer sheets… I can kill static and add a scent with dryer balls.

Induction Cooktop Cookware Advice

Posted by SM6 on 2/15/26 at 7:17 am
Inspired by the electric range subject, can anyone with an induction cooktop recommend a “type’ nonstick pan for use on it?

I have been reading carbon steel is the way to go. When we moved into this house a few years ago I brought my pretty new All Clad nonstick pans with me, but the nonstick surface has been deteriorating from the center out. I am originally thought it was due to not cleaning them thoroughly, but that is probably wrong. Just need a nice saute pan 10-12”
We are seeing price increases in Georgia as well. Not sure of the percentages off hand but it has crept up.

Natural gas prices are also higher… and as we export more they will skew higher. American energy needs to stay in America to lessen the cost of goods and manufacturing and improve the cost of living (certain politicians be damned).
Some guy I knew 20 years ago randomly came up in my social feed and it was a full on melt about Deep Gras. I have no idea what that is.. but he was big mad.

Saints in Paris likely 12/13

Not sure if this has been discussed, but Air France just loaded nonstop flights on 12/11 and 12/15. Pretty reasonable fares right now if you want to jump.

Trent Reznor is an all time great musical mind.
Take a psyllium fiber supplement. It'll keep you flowing normally, naturally, and easily.
There is a big difference between decertifying the Global Express (BD-700 type) family, which is very different than the CRJs that airlines fly. If he really is decertifying the CL-65 type (CRJ family), to lobby for Gulfstream's products then he a fricking moron with, in this case, a warped sense of cost versus benefit for the American public.

We have one of the cheaper Instapot varieties and we love it. Have had it 2 years and use it regularly. Holds up well and is very, very versatile.
Lived there for four years in the 2010s after getting married, moved one year after our first was born. It was an awesome experience and we loved it, just like any place it has its pros and cons. It goes without saying, you have to enjoy cities...

There is so much to do, from museums and restaurants to a wide variety of people to get to know. The city has an insane amount of green space, whether city blocks that are just parks, or lots of tree lined streets. Summer is fantastic, everyone is outside and there are multiple festivals every weekend. Fall is also a great weather time. Really from mid-May until New Years, the weather really matches the season/holiday.

Each neighborhood has a unique feel and atmosphere. I lived in the South Loop near Soldier Field and then Southport just west of Wrigley. We would go to Lincoln Square, Ukrainian Village, Lincoln Park, West Loop, lots of other places just to eat, drink, and hang out with friends.

Public transit is legit. You can get damn near anywhere in the city and both airports easily on the CTA. The buses are also clean and safe. I lived in DC for 5 years prior and wouldn't touch the Metrobus.

It has its cons for sure, living in the city is not cheap and when we had our first kid (nearly 10 years ago) child care was $2,500/mo. Housing is not cheap, but is plentiful. The winter sucks, Jan/Feb are whatever - cold is cold - but where I struggled was March and April. It sucks to watch the masters and see the Azaleas blooming while you look out and it is sleeting. The suburbs are nothing special.. all the traffic and tax burden of the city with none of the character.

To be fair, the Ole Miss flag is also red with stripes.
I really hope this is truly supply driven and not demand driven.
I love this idea. Even a mini playoff between conferences could draw more attention (and attendance) to bowls. Something like the top 2 teams in both the Mountain West and Sun Belt face off. MW 1 versus SB 2 in the New Mexico Bowl (or something out west) and SB1 versus MW2 in the Birmingham Bowl. Winner faces off in the New Orleans Bowl.

A broader G6 playoff would be much better, but I don't see why they couldn't conjure up something like that to sell some tickets and get some additional ESPN dollars into their coffers.

Throw some cash in as a prize to the winning players as well.
When I stories like these, I always wonder why folks are anti-Semitic. Of course they never say.. perhaps it is because the media, our government and Israel itself conflate Judiaism with Israel. Today criticism of Israeli foreign policy or military action gets you branded an anti-Semite.

I have no problem with the average reformed Jewish guy in my community, but I absolutely detest the nation of Israel and the way they conduct domestic and foreign policy. I detest Iran just as much Israel. I don’t care for Theocratic governments in general. I guess that makes me an anti-Semite in the eyes of many.

Prayers out for all of the innocent victims.


Honest question here.. if you are a Christian, what exactly do you pray for the victims in this situation?

That Yahweh delivers them to whatever Jews believe for the afterlife? That they find salvation in heaven with Jesus? I sometimes wonder about this when folks who don’t believe in our Lord suffer harm and need prayer. What do you pray?

No matter what… It’s a terrible terror event, there is far too much hate in this world.

Does Lane bring Scott Cochran?

Posted by SM6 on 11/30/25 at 3:04 pm
It had been hinted at in prior posts, would be a huge hire as SC coach, maybe in an on field position but preferably as strength

what up playa! See you in BR next season for the Clemson game


Let’s riiiiiiiiide!
I seems like the situation is Lane told them he is going to LSU at the conclusion of the season but wants to finish the season at Ole Miss. The AD told him to GTFO and leave. Lane said you’d have to fire me (and pay me), AD realizes Lane has them by the balls. Hence the standoff. Either pay Lane take the LSU job, which would be the ultimate kick in the nuts, or let him coach a team that probably doesn’t want him.
With the Bama and Florida games being removed from the annual slate, I welcome another bitter rivalry. It’s what makes this sport so much fun.

Respect for this post, OP… and STTDB
