Not in this case. I don’t know whether this particular VFX studio treats its workers fairly, but I’ve heard that the whole VFX world is generally terrible to its workers.

That all is beside the point here, though. The VFX studio doesn’t employ writers or actors, whose strikes shut down production of films. So it doesn’t matter if the VFX studio treated its staff like kings. They were still going to lose a ton of work during the strikes, so there’s no avoiding these issues.

A 200Lb adult needs a minimum of 140g of protein daily to remain healthy.

The standard recommendation is about 0.8g per kilogram of body weight. So 200 lbs is 91 kg, which corresponds with 73g.

Different types of oils form different polymerized surfaces, too. Related to the greentext, some people came up with the idea of flaxseed as the best oil for seasoning cast iron based on some theorycrafting about chemistry at a high school level, and it turned out that flaxseed oil seasoning chips and flakes really, really easily.

So there are a bunch of people out there doing it wrong and complaining that it’s too fussy.
