Even if such a name change was desired (& I’m going to hazard a guess and say it’s not top of the list-or even on the list at all-for most of the American public), “World War I Victory Day” & “World War II Victory Day” are easier to say. This whole proposal is confounding, who came up with this?

Copper, cast iron, steel, aluminum and virtually all materials found in cookware can leech/shed over time and extended use, but generally natural materials are considered less damaging than PFAs and PTFE. Nonstick ceramic and higher quality metal cookware are what I personally use these days.

From what I understand it’s safe to use teflon as long as it isn’t damaged; if you have any scratched teflon cookware it would probably be safest to replace it. Ceramic is usually considered the best alternative but as it wears down has the potential to “leech” but this is true of any material.

When I’m having a bad day and need a laugh, that is the clip I watch that I know will always make me laugh!

To ask some AI program that has not had all the lived experiences you have, that does not, and cannot, view the world the same way you do (let alone a tech that arguably lacks any form of individual perspective), to “remember” for you is almost a self-inflicted ego death.

Oh man, that is fantastic!

Not totally sure what the shirt is referencing (‘62 track and field championships?) but I love it. Especially the “make exertions, grant wishes” that is an awesome slogan!

Oh that’s interesting, thank you!

It’s been around for a bit, only allowed on cable and not on broadcast, though. I remember hearing it a lot watching old episodes of Kitchen Nightmares (UK version, BBC America) and that would have been around 2010-2013, so I remember it being allowed at least since then.
