Holy shit, I called it.
I thought they’d have Congress do it, but this was more efficient, so yay?

I’ve seen plenty of evidence that disenfranchisement was off the charts, and it hit me personally.
In Michigan, I’ve been disabled and homebound for years and have never had issues voting by mail, but this time rather than my usual automatic mail-in ballot, I got an application for a vote-by-mail ballot after the deadline. I was still registered, but I had to go in person.
I’d have crawled through hot broken glass naked to vote, so I did it, but only because I live in a small enough town there wasn’t a queue. If I’d had to vote in the city, I could not physically have done it.
I’ll bet plenty of others like me simply could not.
‘Accidentally’.

I just can’t anymore. Sorry guys, I’ve been too sick and can no longer cope.
I pop in once a week so I can say, aloud: ‘Jesus fuck this bastard.’
So here’s my weekly ablution. Dog help us all.
It sounds like there wasn’t an extra coating that I removed, but that I just etched the fired coating, making it dull rather than glossy – so it’s the same outer coating that existed, it’s just not glossy anymore. In theory, it’s still as food-safe as it was, but it’s porous now (it kinda feels like silicone).
Ooohhhh Long Donson!
Thanks for your service.
Oh no.
Thanks for letting me know. I may have access to that kind of furnace, but I’m not sure I could convince them to put my stupid little colander in there, because that’s silly.
I appreciate your insight, even though it makes me sad. I kinda thought that might be the case, though. Cheers.
That’s a great point. The dishwasher itself isn’t usually the problem, though, right? It’s letting things air dry in there, so water sits in crevices. If you take things out immediately and towel-dry them, they’re fine.
I don’t typically wash things with metal crevices in the dishwasher because I’m too lazy to be hawkish like that, and cookware/lids and knives are strictly forbidden anyhow. If I have to work to restore this thing, I’ll never let it air dry again.
The CLR did kill every sign of rust, so silver linings.
This image needs to be all over twitter and truth social. Trump hates images like this. I want him to see dozens of copies of this whilst he shits at 3am. Just flood him with it.

Thanks!
Yes, I think that’s the one. It was more expensive when I bought it, and they’ve since discontinued it, which is likely why it’s out of stock.
I do like the white interior, since it more closely matches the one my gran left to me that was rusted beyond use.
$30 is kind of a lot for my budget, and I prefer to repair things rather than replace, because consumption bad. That’s a good metric for effort and materials, tho, so thanks!
edit to your edit: I have the bright cherry red one, which doesn’t seem to be available on eBay. It looks pink or salmon because I ruined the outer coating, but it was a glossy cherry red like in your first link before I adulterated it.
Thanks for all your research!
Oooh. Thank you!
The product description said ‘powder-coated enameled finish’, and I had thought ‘enameled’ may have referred to the outer layer I destroyed. So now I’m just dealing with the powder coating.
I think I’ll try your recommendation first – it’s the most food-safe and makes the most sense to me. Kinda worried I’ve irreparably ruined it without re-coating and re-firing it. I hope that’s not the case, and the ‘enameled’ part referred to the white inner bit which didn’t dull in the soak.
e: maybe someone who knows more about these terms than me will chime in? I know a little about them because my grandmother taught ceramics and my father is in aviation where they do powder coatings, but not enough, obviously.
Oh, like the kind for cars?
That’s a great idea, thanks! If it works, I can send it through the dishwasher a dozen times and it should be fine, right? It’s the outer coating and I don’t plan to lick it much.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I have some of that, but I’ve had it dull proper enamel fired coatings before because it’s very abrasive, so I’m scared to try it on this.
It’s great for knives and other bare metals. I guess it can’t make it much worse, though, so I’ll try it in a small area, thanks for the suggestion!
I’m hoping to, thanks! I’m not sure what to polish it with, though, especially because it would have to be food-safe…
Integrity is one thing, but academics aren’t usually well-paid enough to be completely immune to not merely gifts/bribes, but life-changing offers. Musk is more than able to utterly change lives without breaking a sweat.
Academic integrity can be quite high, but it’s never infallible because people aren’t. I’m not saying money wasn’t involved, but I’d not be surprised, obviously.

Because contrary to what they say in public, they actually do believe a global climate disaster is coming. They all have extremely well-stocked doomsday bunkers the size of small towns with a host of servants to keep them fat and happy, and they’re now trying to juice us for all we’re worth before we die.
Some of them are dominionists, too, and are either convinced Jesus is coming back any day now or are determined to kick off WW3 like it will be a signal flare. They’re desperate for the rapture, and they’re more than willing to kill us all to get it.
The really dangerous ones are a mix of both, and now they’re fully in charge.
