Why isn’t this marked NSFW? It’s highly arousing.

Yea, it sounds like OP has a fear of starting a fire so I would take a few steps to mitigate that fear. If there are other fears holding you back, make a check list to address those as well.

1. Have a plan for if a fire starts. Have a fire extinguisher nearby, and check it once a year to make sure it’s still good. You can use water to put out most things, but if the oil in the pan is on fire, do not use water. Use either a for extinguisher rated for oil fires, or smother with baking soda or cover with a non glass lid.

2. As part of being ready for a fire, know it’s not a big deal unless it’s spreading outside of the stove area. Aka, don’t panic, follow your plan to put it out and move on.

3. Start with food that you really can’t burn, then move onto actually cooking things in a pan. For any recipe, just Google it or watch a video on how to do it. Make some rice in a pot of water, hard boiled eggs, soups etc. From there start with fried eggs, pastas, pan fried fish or chicken, and any other simple dish you might need to use a pan for.

4. It’s also useful to know it’s fairly hard to start a fire while cooking in a pan, unless you leave things unattended or if you have a lot of oil overheat. There will usually be lots of smoke before something bursts into flames, so you’ll have time to stop it before it burns.

Gas station sushi and red bull, truly a painful combination.

Sugma balls! Got em!

I’m not sure, but I know what you mean. I dread doing dishes, but my wife dreads putting dishes away. So before we had a dish washer, she would wash and I would dry/put away.

Don’t forget the time and effort to clean too

“I’m immunocompromised, do you harass alcoholics about not drinking?”

She’s a congresswoman, not really involved at the state level.

Not the link I was looking for.

Also, that last hour of work feels like you should be on the way home already.

Yea, my city started using tornado sirens for most decent thunder storms. So they are being used all the time. But there’s no way to know when it’s actually for a tornado…

It was more than that. I’m 1996 round trip tickets were 7500, about 12000 in today’s dollars. I can get a round trip ticket under 400 bucks today for NYC to LHR. So it wasn’t 3x, but 30x the price.

And most are willing to pay less even if it’s a 6 hour flight.

We should have the insurance companies decide if you need it, that’ll help!

Fair enough, I just figured since we were being particular, better specify lol

Is Gandolf the Camo bringing the fighter jets to helms deep on the third morning not cannon?

No, people die on planes all the time. Almost 3 million people fly daily, I’m guessing people die in flight almost every day due to natural causes.

However, I’m sure the stats with 2+ people dying, survival odds are quite low.

I guess. I’m a fairly intelligent person, who is well educated, and decently well read. But I’ve never heard of them. I’ll have to do some reading I guess.
