LUBE UP YOUR BUTT posted:that's more like a 'hot water dispenser' though. a kettle boils the water then switches off, but that boils the water then keeps it at a constant 90-98 degrees, on the zoji you can select how hot you want it to be. I drink a lot of tea and my 9,90 Claes Olefsson no-name kettle boils the water in like three minutes and I've never found that to be inconvenient enough to spend 40000 on a piece of water-heating kit just so I don't have to wait another three minutes when I have tea a few hours later and a minute or so for the cup to cool down enough to drink  . I think you're just a kettle nerd  .

How much power does one of those things draw? The very concept seems like I'll be poor in a year just because I can't wait two minutes for my water to start boiling.

New to me danish modern desk. It's a nice upgrade over the door-sitting-on-two-wobbly-book-shelves desk I've been using for the past 8 years. No in-home photo since I'm still working on re-organizing my office.

Got the same one for free at a local library - used it for a couple of years, and it's used as a workbench in my workshop. You are aware that there's a couple of doors on the opposite side of the drawers?

We put a killawatt on it and I don't remember the exact wattage but it ended up being $3 a month in power. Its basically a super thermos with a heater attached.

Mu Zeta posted:Also Clif bars are just candy bars. I don't get how they can get away with selling it in the health food section. If someone could invent a Snickers bar that didn't melt I would never buy a Cliff bar again. I am still a huge fan of the old school Powerbars but they are pretty rare in stores these days.

I just squeeze Snickers out of the end of the wrapper, a melted bite at a time, until it's gone. Admittedly, this doesn't work well for saving some for later, but what sort of hungry hiker doesn't eat the entire snack at once?

Holy Crap... I posted this a few days ago: Captain Lavender posted:
So I asked for a sketch, and the prompt asked me, "Describe the character or situation you'd like a drawn" - So I wrote "Reginald obnoxiously occluding Beartato; or just Reginald if that's too involved." Then it asked, "What message would you like written?" - I wrote "Happy Belated Birthday Alex" Well, it came today  I'm beside myself with how cool it is.

If I could be guaranteed that I wouldn't have to deal with or even see anyone roleplaying up their neon-colored Japanese kitten fursuit, I'd go to a convention solely to meet a few of my favorite webcomic artists and get some few signed books and sketches. Alas, such a weeaboo-free, comic-only convention doesn't exist and probably wouldn't make money.

I caught a nail in my 1 month old tire on the way to the track, and the tire guy only had supercorsas. I found it on the second session, and I wasn't about to waste the last track day of the season, soooo....

Why do you cover up your tail lights (I'm assuming that's what the blue tape is covering) for riding on a track?

Mirrors / Brake Lights are a distraction to other riders on the track and are required to be either taken off the bike, disabled, or covered up. If you use your bike on the street it's common to just use painters tape to cover them.

Is this a bike thing? I don't think I've heard anyone complain about brake lights being distracted at a track day yet. Speaking of , these are quite recent:   and this doesn't even include any fpv stuff yet

It's a little of column A and a little of column B. Partially a holdover from when lights were made of glass, partially because they are unnecessarily distracting. A buddy ahead of me had some tape come off their brake light, it really does draw the eye (especially if you spend a lot of time riding street). Doing it is like 0 effort anyways.
