Non stick: alright for eggs and other relatively low temperature stuff. Make sure you only use rubber, plastic, or other soft utensils, and never clean it with a scraper or steel wool. The surface of the non stick is fine as far as I know, but if you go deeper by getting too hot or scraping with something too hard, you can expose the toxic chemicals.

Stainless: my go to. Use whatever utensils you want, and clean it however you want. The main thing to make it non stick is heat the pan up hot enough that when you splash a bit of water on it, it beads up and scatters. Then use plenty of oil. The main downside is you usually can't put them in the oven.

Cast iron: better in use than stainless, but harder to clean. Upside is you can use whatever with them, and you can swap between oven and stove. Downside is you can't clean them the same way as anything else.

Agreed. "Chunky water" type vegetable soup is very different from "thick and gloopy" pumpkin soup

There are definitely cultural differences, but for its size, the US is really homogeneous. As an example, Tom Scott's video on "jingle bells, batman smells" shows way more regional variation in the UK compared to the US, despite being smaller than some states.

I assume it would be the opposite. Use full slices so you can get them out of the oil with a sieve.

I get that, but this wasn't really a "look at the opportunities I've missed", it was more of "huh, my life could have been completely different by now". I like my job, I like my social life, and I have an amazing fiance that I'm marrying in less than 2 months. I don't know what would be on my other paths, but I'm glad I chose this one.

There are some I'm glad i didn't take. I started a degree in computer science in 2020, and I had plans to focus on machine learning research. If I hadn't dropped it at the end of that year, I'd likely have finished my degree right at the start of the chat gpt shitshow.

My name is Joseph, and a lot of kids mispronounce it as "Jofish" or something similar. I can't remember who actually started the nickname for me, but it caught on. It doesn't hurt that I enjoy being in and around water anyway.

The issue I see here is, and I believe I'm speaking for the entire rest of the world here, we don't want him

So, the situation remains unchanged.
