I get that auto-cap after a period is a common phone setting, but what cracks me up is when people capitalize both letters in my sn. why put in the extra effort to get it wrong?

Hope you feel better soon! Thoughts and prayers!

Well I think that’s the point; it’s a subconscious, intuitive thing, or just completely random. Lol

It just keeps running around my mind w my brain automatically looking for similarities. Could be me being a little aspy.

No.

I mean, if we had anyone spelling out full words in ALL CAPS then that's a totally different story, obviously the person would be deeply stupid and completely irredeemable like 97% of the time. But in the absence of that, there's no significant difference.

Haha true

Whatever douchiness is perceived by your all-caps username, you’ve more than compensated for it with your A+++ profile pic. 🤩

sadly shes a massive slob, so I do all the dishes. and the vacuuming. and the dusting. and the mopping. and all the other women work

This is who you people want as your mod! Next thing you know we have coloured usernames based on our star sign or Meyer Briggs type.

Full words, full words. Obviously acronyms, etc., are fine.

If someone had a SN that contained ALL CAPS words and a poker reference (e.g. 27OFFSUIT), that would really be the pinnacle.

Damn Alobar.
I was gonna say that since by default she's the dishwasher and would resent being just another appliance, she would eventually put her foot down and make you get a real dishwasher, and you'd be forced to see how awesome they are.
But it sounds like she has you right where she wants you!

How the hell would they not be dishwasher safe they are rated to like 600 degrees but I guess you do you, crazy person.

I usually handwash my silicone baking stuff but I am a dishwasher noob so err on the side of caution. Also I am pretty sure mine said not to use detergent on them

To tell the truth if you asked me to tell you, without looking, if I used caps in my username I would have guessed wrong.

It's the combination of heat and water, I think...I use a bit of a water bath, and some of the wells are bubbling up on the bottom. I suspect that the water gets in through the underside somehow and then causes some delamination. This is only after at most ~400 bakes and they're supposed to last for ~2000. I suspect hammering them in a dishwasher would be worse.

I wash everything in the dishwasher and if it ruins it, tough. I don't want that **** anyway. Same goes for clothes in the washing machine and dryer.

You'd put a cast iron skillet in the dishwasher?

You'd put a wool suit or a tux in a washing machine and dryer?

FWIW, my approach is nearly the same as yours, but I realize a few exceptions need to be made. Very few.

At the risk of embiggening of egos, you both strike me as good posters (<- of course I might be wrong) who work in a similar wavelength of snark. But that is just a gut feeling, based on small samples -- I'm open to lurking H&F more and inviting disappointment.

A lot of it is name first, casing second. Howard Treesong is a proper name, so that gets capitals. meloveyoulongtime would be a lot less legible in lowercase. Acronyms naturally are all one case, and the source words determine which. LFS = Los Feliz Slim. Pet theory: people with underscores are a bunch more likely to have spent earlier internet years with usernames (or character names) that couldn't include spaces.

Along with obnoxious casing schemes, uncommon characters seem to convey a lot. One must only think of #thinman.

I think I originally just wanted Rex but it was taken.

I'm comfortable with the fact I have the worst name on this site.

I would not own a cast iron skillet or a wool suit or a tux.

Ok, I may have some wool pants in the closet. They are basically on a never wash policy. Twice a decade put them on and go to some wedding and then put them back in the closet.

Do you wear some sort of dinner jacket or something similar to these weddings with these wool pants?

Seems weird to have special occasion pants but nothing for the upper half.

I do have a coat that has the same policy, but it's more like once every decade and a half. If at all possible, and it's pretty much always possible, I'll go sans jacket. I have a wool cap around somewhere too and some other wool that I essentially never wear. No more nittery!

The pants thing I totally get and tbh people wash their good clothes far too frequently. The way you're going they will last forever! However the lack of love for cast iron pans is making me cranky.

I’d like to congratulate micro for having pants he fits for decades. Well done.
