1·8 days agoI am European, and cast iron is not used much here (outside of dutch ovens obviously), and neither is carbon steel. To be completely honest, on this side of the altantic we are all a little puzzled as to why y’all like cast iron so much.
I have one non-stick pan for omelettes and fish, a seldom used dutch oven for stews, and I can do everything else with straight stainless steel so it all goes in the wash (except the valve of my pressure cooker).
Even my forged Wüsthof knife goes in.
I like my wood chopping board, but rarely use it because of the hassle of cleaning it. Machine-washed plastic boards don’t stink, so that’s what I use most days.
You can get smaller dishwashers. They make some very compact ones.
And it’s not a hard and fast rule but… If it’s not machine washable, it usually remains on the shelf.
But now with 100000% higher carbon footprint!
Wilbur, IIRC is the name of the mascot.
As a physicist, my favorite referee comment ever was [That my claim was wrong] “should be obvious to anyone who has ever sat through an elementary electromagnetism course.” He was wrong BTW, and the paper was finally published in a different journal.
I am from a decidedly different field, so I don’t know if I can vouch for you in any meaningful way.
They are talking about specific hardware features. Which would of course be great, but you can imagine how they are not exactly at the toppiest toppy top of Fairphone’s priorities, when they are still struggling to be taken seriously by your mainstream Android buyer.
Consider that every hardware features is extra hard for Fairphone, on account of their very specific commitments to materials sourcing, labor practices, and longer term support.
They are a company with a lot of very complicated demands, for a still very low volume of sold devices. They need to pick their battles, and clearly being blessed by the church of Graphene can’t be that high a priority.
