What I find funny is that the first country that banned TikTok, was China! (Yes, you can't access it from there)

I do fried and over-easy in my stainless all the time. My procedure:

1. heat empty stainless over med-high flame until a drop of water scatters and glides over the whole surface (leidenfrost). It should look like beads of mercury.

2. drop to a med flame, add a bit of oil (avacodo, ghee, ....). If you're going to a lower temp oil (butter, olive, ...) drop the flame even lower and let the pan cool for a minute before adding.

3. crack eggs into the pan, and don't touch them until there's a bit of fried edge

4a. if you want over-easy, turn the flame off well before you flip, and let the residual heat cook the top.

4b. alternatively, cover the pan with a pot lid to steam the tops.

If they stick, a little bit of extra oil, or a few drops of water on the edge can help release.

If I have learned anything over 40 years, is that the number of people who actually live in a way consistent with hypothesis testing, data collection, evidence evaluation framework required to have scientific confidence in future action or even claims is effectively zero

That includes people who consider themselves professional scientists, PhD‘s authors, leaders etc.

The only people I know who live “scientifically” consistently are people considered “neurodivergent”, along the autism-adhd-odd spectrum, which forces them into creating the type of mechanisms that are actually scientific and as required by their conditions.

Nevertheless, we should expect better from people; and on average need to do better in aligning how they think to how science, when robustly demonstrated, demonstrates with staggering predictability how the world works, compared to all other methods of understanding the universe.

The fact that the people carrying the torch of science don’t live up to the standard is expected - hence peer review.

This is an indictment of the incentives and pace at which bad science is revealed (like in this case) is always too slow, but science is the one place where eventually you’re going to either get exposed as a fraud or never followed in the first place.

There’s no other philosophy that has a higher bar of having to conform with all versions of reality forever.

This sounds good, but i can't help but feel is Visa is brought down, we will have a hundred hydra heads feed on us instead.

Funny that when I reached the "Key Findings" section, my brain immediately parsed it as ChatGPT output. Maybe it's the bullet points, the word choice, or just the font...
