Why does Rosewill make such odd stuff like Rice Cookers and blankets and things?

they probably design some of their products and license others as generic designs that they then brand

i looked up one of the rice cookers and it definitely looks like the sort of thing you'd find in an asian maret with some random no-name brand

also if you want to buy a rice cooker look into the zojirushi line. those cookers are, as the japanese say, "soy excellento"

Made the mistake of getting a Sanyo last time, no water well is not good. Panasonic and South Korea's Cucoo both have some impressively expensive units like $1,000 each :lol:

people in japan eat rice for every meal so a good rice cooker can be set on timer at night so theres freshly cooked rice in the morning for breakfast and maybe to pack for lunch then the cooker keeps the rest of it warm for when they come back home for dinner without drying the rice out like lovely cookers do

pro tip : pots also double as frying pans (whereas the reverse isn't often true)

I have a rice cooker but it burns the rice at the bottom a little

I like making epic meat pies and pasties though and keeping them in the fridge

tangent: i have a huge asus gamer laptop that i inherited from a friend. its insanely huge. but i want to put it on a little stand like i see ppl do so i can engage in keyboard fetishism at work and nto need to type on its little KB. any suggestions from The Pos? i think most stands are designed for little computers. but this computer is big. extremely big.

well right off the bat 1) do you have dock options 2) do you want a dock?

if you want to clear up some desk space you can do what i did, wall mount a dock and have the laptop vertical

this depends on how wide you can open it though

just read like the first half of this thread and there's like no love for mx reds

anyway I've got reds in a corsair K70 before they got their lovely new logo so it doesn't have RGB lighting but it's made from a thick rear end piece of brushed aluminum, has basic but good media controls, and has survived half a beer being knocked over onto it which hosed up one of the alt keys before it started working fine again

the best stands are the one that hold the laptop opened up, almost vertically, so the monitor is closer to eye level

these are invariably designed for insanely huge laptops
