DO NOT use old coconut oil!

This just happened tonight, but let this be a lesson for you all.

I opened and used some louana liquid coconut oil. Still within the expiration date, but I must have had it a bit longer than I thought or something. It didn't smell off before cooking, and it didn't look any different, but when I put in a bit and turned on the kettle, the difference was immediate and painful.

The smoke that comes from rancid oil is insanely potent, it burns your throat and lungs. It tasted like the same acidic taste you get after getting sick, but times 100.

The house absolutely reeks and I have fans going with candles and incense. Not much has fixed it.

I plan on doing a deep clean on my machine tomorrow (8oz lincoln machine) after the smell dims a bit.

If you are worried about old oil, even if its in the expiration date, just put a tiny amount in, and turn on the kettle.

Fast charger wireless car mount?

Maybe someone else has had better luck but I am having a really tough time finding a wireless magnet car mount that fast charges Samsung 25 and 26s. (Looking for 25W)

Most say 25W but if you look at the fine print they mostly say it only supports iPhone and Samsung gets throttled to 15W.

Any luck or recommendations?

Planned obsolescence, corporate greed, and private equities buying out our favorite brands has ruined nearly everything, what brand *has not* gone down in quality?

I get that the forecast isn't perfect, but shouldn't half the time when it's inaccurate be lower than the forecasted high for the day?

If the weather app says tomorrow's high is going to be 75f, it will always be 2 to 3 degrees higher. This isn't sometimes but literally daily. What gives?

My wife and I have been trying to understand what this guy's name is since we moved here in 2015. We tried turning up the radio full blast, googling his name, searched the stations websites, and yet his name still alludes us.

This guy has a strong accent and is on a number of stations. Always ends his traffic report with his name.

It sounds like Lendon Hill or Linn Denhill or insert generic mountain accent stereotype here

Honestly we don't need to know but we were really trying to figure it out tonight for our own sanity for our drives to work and back. (You know except when driving on 40, nothing saves your sanity there)
