We scored the Calphalon set at Costco on an impulse. The omelet pan is really slippery!

Not arguing with the premise but the All-Clad pans that have the exposed aluminum (most of mine) are obviously susceptible to the chlorine in dishwasher tabs. Bare aluminum shouldn't go into a dishwasher at all even if it is technically dishwasher-safe, meaning it won't melt or explode in there.

I don't understand pots/pans in the dishwasher. they take up space, they don't get that clean, and it's not that hard to properly clean them in the sink with a sponge. Also - knives. 

And that website is a catalog of why everything in the world sucks right now. Eventually, we may collectively learn the term enough, but I don't have that kind of patience.

How Egg Price-Fixing Went Unpunished
The Department of Justice had evidence that three major egg producers colluded to raise egg prices, driving “eggflation” while padding their profits. Like a long list of corporate price gougers before them, they are getting off with a slap on the wrist.

Talking to drivers that drive for both companies, Lyft is much better for the customer. Lyft will check with the customer if everything is ok if a trip is taking more time than it seems like it should. They will also rate a driver's driving habits and effectively coach them to drive in a safer, more passenger friendly way - like how they merge on and off freeways


I've had only one bad experience with a Lyft driver—he picked up the wrong passenger and failed to correct his error when he had the chance. Lyft was very apologetic and compensated me for the screw-up. 

From the news reports it seems like using Uber is like playing Russian roulette.

I wondered about that and I assume Waymo is available to pick you up in less savory neighborhoods.

DoorDash knows that if a driver will take a delivery for $3 with no tip, they won't show that driver the $20 tip deliveries.
