-snip-
There are no viewable profiles with pictures etc., just nicknames users pick for themselves in private chatrooms/forums. Most use their real first names. I can in fact give them nicknames for my own convenience, which I plan to, but to do that I first need to recognize which one is which.

I thought about it and I do have an inkling based on their use of slang in their messages, so I made an educated guess, but I guess I'll have to meet with each in real life to confirm.

Well then, apparently the margarine/spread I use instead of butter is not good for cooking with. I put some in a pan to fry a vege burger and minutes later smoke was billowing out of it and the inside of the pan was coated black. Shame we don't have any pot scourers... I guess I'll have to buy some and clean it up tomorrow.

In related news, fried vege burgers taste awful anyway.
After all that hardship I find I should have just stuck to baking them. ::)

You know that stuff is actually worse for you than actual butter~

It's sort of like how diet soda is horribly carcinogenic and actually less healthy than a can of sugar water.

yeah, giving rats WAY more dosage than a human would get and seeing cancer sure is indicative of stuff

why would you think that?

it's not particularly healthy, but that's more to do with the way it tricks your pancreas (sweet taste -> insulin release -> no sugar wat do -> you get hungrier and generally feel bad as blood sugar drops) than to do with carcinogenicity

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Certainly it isn't good for you, though I don't really know enough about it beyond reading some articles to argue the point.

Besides, I doubt I could drink enough soda to significantly impact my chances of cancer, given where I live.

It was doing a lockdown operation to prevent terrorist attacks, inside the police station.
...I guess that does make it a little extra exciting, but c'mom now :v

I find vegetable oil to be the best stuff to grease a pan. It's not too unhealthy, and is inexpensive since it's sold in fuckhueg bottles for the price of a butter stick, and one only needs a few drops at a time.

Yeah. I use butter (well, margarine but my family's fastidious about using the baking kind. The water-based spreading kind may or may not be accursed) for flavouring and sometimes for a roux, but never for normal frying.

I keep a thing of margarine for spreading on toast etc. and a thing of butter for cooking with. I would never use one for the other's purpose - that would be folly.
