Teflon is the brand name for for the chemical Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Making PTFE requires PFAS, which are the toxic part. Think of PFAS as little bits of chain varying lengths that get strung together to make the larger PTFE molecule.
The argument you’re making sounds similar to something like “Fossil Fuels are safe, it’s just the CO2 that’s dangerous.” PFAS contaminated water being released to the environment is an unavoidable by produce of making Teflon. You can only make Teflon as a solid without suspending the PFAS in water first.
Here’s a pretty good video about the history, manufacturing process, and toxicity.

I think you can teach at community college without a teaching degree. You might need a master’s though.
I have a CS degree but started out in nuclear power, then that got me into automation and robotics. There’s way more of that take your time to do it right atmosphere, and these jobs are all over hiding in unexpected places. I guess nobody wants to turn on an expensive machine just to have it eat itself because of a software bug lol.
- Comment on AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET!! 1 week ago:
Lol how is this a fair comparison? 10 mins of watching 4k vs 1 AI question does not seem equivalent at all. Like you could change the quantities and make the comparison look as bad as you want. Why not compare 1 min of 4k video vs asking AI 1,000 questions? Why not compare 1 hr of 4k video to 10 AI questions? When you’re changing the variables around between comparisons like that then the comparison is worthless.
Besides that, the environmentally damaging part of AI isn’t asking it questions, it’s training the models themselves. Training AI uses huge resource consuming supercomputers and can take days.

There have also been several studies that also prove this.
You driving after being awake for 24 hours is as impacted as though you had a 0.1% BAC (0.08% is the legal limit).

Stop litigating definitions to avoid confronting your misogyny. I’m not talking about hypothetical scenarios. I’m talking about real court cases in which the judge accepted women’s testimony as admissible.

It is tho, whiteness testimony is admissable evidence in a court of law.

Whitness testimony under oath isn’t just evidence, it’s admissable evidence in a court of law.
Nice try tho.

- Comment on Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science 4 weeks ago:
I feel like not knowing what you’re doing is a critical piece of the vibe coding definition tho. If a sr developer is using AI, understands the code generated, and can manipulate it in a secure, industry standard way, then that’s just a developer.

Nice, adding that book to the list.
- Comment on In the cave 5 weeks ago:
This reminded me of a character, Martin Silenus from Hyperion Cantos, who has a mansion. In that mansion all of the doors are actually portals. So when you walk into a new room you’re walking into a new room on a different world. So like your living room is on Earth but your dining room could be on the moon. Always thought that was a cool idea.

Trump is a bold, unapologetic fascist. You need to accept this fact, or it will kill you. He will never take responsibility because that is not how fascism works.
- Comment on Yellow from the egg! 1 month ago:
Americans do a lot of foolish things, but refrigerating their eggs is not one of them.
There is a good reason: eggs are washed before they’re sold in the US, which removes the egg’s cuticle (a natural protective coating). This process reduces the risk of bacterial contamination, and, when combined with refrigeration, extends the shelf life of the egg. That matters in a country with a distributed population as geographically vast as the U.S., where food often travels longer distances before reaching the consumer. Refrigerating eggs is a solution to a logistical challenge not present in Europe.
I like to point this out because a European unaware of this difference might visit America, refuse to refrigerate their eggs (believing their own cultural practices to be superior and more “natural”) and end up with salmonella. It’s ironic because getting sick in another country due to ignorance of local customs, while assuming your own culture is better, is a very American thing to do. I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
