RE: Fire, Cast Iron, and Soot
First item to remember regarding Dutch oven cooking is the “fire” should be 2/3 on the lid and 1/3 on the bottom.
Curious what you mean by this
I assume he's talking about top heat. Some Dutch Ovens have a flat top and a ridge that allows the stacking of coals on top of the unit. This evens out the heat and it cooks more like an oven. If you're familiar with a Caja China, it uses 100% top heat to roast large items, including whole pigs.

RE: Is Facebook killing this site?
Now for my opinion. No facebook is not ruining this site, or any others I use. Facebook is causing great divisions in our society and an extremely effective way that dangerous mis information is disseminated. I believe Zuckerberg will go down in history as one of the most destructive forces in the world.
Facebook, Twitter, and Truth Social et al are simply reflections of society at large. As long as beliefs are presented as fact, we'll have differences. The platform makes little difference.

RE: Ford Gets 9.2 Billion Bailout errrr Loan
Direct oil and gas subsidies are far greater than $2b.
Huh?, the number is 9.2 Billion.
"The United States provides a number of tax subsidies to the fossil fuel industry as a means of encouraging domestic energy production. These include both direct subsidies to corporations, as well as other tax benefits to the fossil fuel industry. Conservative estimates put U.S. direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry at roughly $20 billion per year"
Wonderful. So they handout a subsidy to one corporation worth almost 50% of the subsidies handed out to an entire Industry which is hundreds of times larger? That's great...................for someone, the average taxpayer not so much.
Read that again.
If you're OK with $20bb in subsidies for oil (that makes record profits every year) you should be OK with $2b to save jobs.

RE: Ford Gets 9.2 Billion Bailout errrr Loan
Lot of difference between a loan to a financially stable and viable company and giving money to one that is not.
Sure is LOL
……….
Ford had a $2 billion loss in expected profits, and yet still had a year end profit of $10.4 billion. I call that financially stable and viable.
Fords $2 billion loss was due to their EV division and Quality issues resulting in too many warranty repairs. Ford's CEO Farley (who needs to be fired) stated it will rely on it's ICE division to financially support it's EV division while he lays off ICE division employees.
Direct oil and gas subsidies are far greater than $2b.

These include both direct subsidies to corporations, as well as other tax benefits to the fossil fuel industry. Conservative estimates put U.S. direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry at roughly $20 billion per year; with 20 percent currently allocated to coal and 80 percent to natural gas and crude oil. European Union subsidies are estimated to total 55 billion euros annually.

RE: Medicare Supplemental vs Medicare Advantage HMO
I belong to a very large support board for people with various cancers and other serious or chronic conditions. Medicare Advantage plans are referred to as Medicare Disadvantage plans. Tread carefully, and definitely buyer beware. I'm not yet 65 but when the time comes I will go with traditional Medicare. Because of what I've learned on that board there's no way I'd even consider a (dis)Advantage plan. If I had a Plan F there's no way I'd let it go.
As someone with 2 types of blood cancer (myeloma and AML), I have to agree. Any "Advantage" plan is location specific and if you need treatment outside of your location or another state, there will be issues.
