Had a helpful friend do that to a wok and a few cast-iron pans, as well as running our (iron, brass, and wood) hand crank burr grinder through the dishwasher. They are good friends. That is why we still consort with them. The relationship suffered some hit point loss for a time, though.Are you sure you got those correct? The right one looks all fucked up to me.
My minor rant: A friend of mine asked to borrow my pizza pan. I thought sure, go ahead, that's no problem.
He returned it to me today.
HE WASHED IT!

What kind of pizza pan do you not wash? The type I'm familiar with is aluminum or stainless steel, and is basically a round baking sheet. If you didn't wash one you'd run into trouble.My minor rant: A friend of mine asked to borrow my pizza pan. I thought sure, go ahead, that's no problem.

It's cast iron, and is especially good for making deep dish pizzas. It was kept clean, certainly, but never washed. The carbon and seasoning baked into the pan was the secret to a delicious pizza crust.

Ouch, well-seasoned cast iron is a treasure, but very few people know how to take care of it. I still remember the horrific discussion I had on another forum where a germophobe said she always put her cast iron pan through the dishwasher. I'm glad I never had to see that pan.
You may be interested in this thread I contributed to over at cookaholics.org, where we discuss the best methods and materials for seasoning a cast iron pan.

Nope. I was having issues with the boot manager not showing up and the computer wouldn't go to BIOS. Turns out it won't if you don't plug in your keyboard. Once I figured that out I got the right boot order, got the windows loaded and now I'm applying the 137 updates. I figure I'll have everything back up & running by Thursday.
Keys are tied to Shift accounts. Also, I'm pretty sure Steam will keep your saves in the Cloud. You'll probably be fine.And I just figured out the one that might hurt the most - Borderlands 2. I lost a level 51 guy with 20 keys.

You can a 1TB external harddrive to use for backups for pretty cheap nowadays.

I backed up everything I thought was important enough that if I lost it would cause me incredible pain - like my novels, etc. Everything else can be gotten again.[DOUBLEPOST=1373815460][/DOUBLEPOST]My new rant: My wife and I have been trying to find a new place to live. She's hated this place for a while now and has been looking to no avail. We went and saw a place yesterday and I love it. Today they called us and offered it to us and now my wife doesn't want to do it. It's in the country and would be a bit of a drive to get to work, but she's it's quiet, safe, and is just the size we need. And now she's calling them to turn it down. She's been looking for months and this is the first positive hit we have had. I just don't understand her sometimes.
I can out-present every 'professional' presenter I've dealt with in a business. And several of the profs I had.
I see this in some of the doctors I work with in my volunteer position. It's one of the many things that spurred me into getting a degree, if only so I know there is at least ONE competent member of my generation.
Ahem.
"Language changes, dude! The new generation doesn't insist on stiffness and overpolitenes anymore! Using LOL or smileys should be OK in all texts presented anywhere, and if you can't get used to it, you're a dinosaur!"
*cough* *hack* *wheeze* Man, I hate that sentiment, and I've heard it too many times already. I've seen smileys in course work handed out by a tenured professor, and I knew I had to escape while I still could. Hate hate hate it. People should be able to use more than one tone of voice in written language.

I had to drop an online course while in college because the professor typed everything in chatspeak.
Does that mean that I can start using l33t in my reports?

Do you work for the cataclysm division of your department? You only get to speak l33t when you're fighting off 3l33t threats like zombies, kaiju, magical girls and what-not.
It's because I became Great Teacher Charon, epic-level English Teacher
I just can't express my incredulity at the idea that students would actually do this in an English class.
I mean, even if the language does morph into a form that accepts trigraphs as legitimate "words," grammar and language still matter. If you were in a Latin class, I guarantee your teacher would mark you down if you included DA LVLZ in your prose.

I get the following all the time:
"u" instead of "you"
"4" instead of "for"
there, they're, and their screwed up
it's and its screwed up
Every once in a while I get things like "wut" or "y" instead of "why."
And before we go ranting about today's youth, the offending students are usually a small percentage of the class. Most of them can at least string together some basic grammar and spelling for a paper. But, there are always a handful that use text-speak (initially). I don't know if teachers at the lower grades are letting them get away with this or what, but it happens every year so far. They need a hard kick in the ass (metaphorically of course), which is why I savage their papers when you do this sort of thing. I've never had a situation where a student continues to make these mistakes more than twice.
