When we got a Zojirushi rice cooker many years ago, I scoffed. I knew how to cook rice! Now you’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands. It’s the hardest working appliance in my kitchen. And it’s so drat chipper about it, it’s fantastic.

When something like this hits that doesn't really have a Culture War angle, what you'll find is a whole lot of Congresscritters kinda shrugging and saying "John Deere doesn't like it and they have a factory in my district, so no." Doesn't really move the needle either way with their base who care about other stuff. Enough of those and it dies. Not enough of those and it goes through.

I'm personally shocked that Disney seems to be willing to let The Mouse enter the public domain, I assume that there's a rational reason for it beyond  given how much work they spent making copyright last for a lifetime + several generations

When American copyright law was more lax than most of Europes they did have an argument. Now it is the same and there is probably some consensus politically to keep it reasonably similar.

Also, Disney still has their trademarks on Mickey Mouse, the original works going into the public domain doesn't really matter all that much. What matters is their specific branding, which they won't lose. Also, Zojirushi Potato Cooker when. Don't care about this rice business. goatsestretchgoals posted:Do you really want some rando to attempt to fix your expensive pocket computer? What if we put a <cell carrier> shirt on them? Modern phones are pretty much impossible to open up without specialized equipment, but up to a few years ago fixing smartphones really wasn't all that hard.

Just for the record, an automatic rice cooker isn't some marvel of modern technology, it just has a thermometer that tells it to turn the heat down when the internal temperature exceeds the boiling point of water (which means all the water has boiled off). I mean, they can add other fancy doodads like delays and stuff, but that's the basic premise of a rice cooker.

i would like to submit my new smoke/co2 detectors to this thread after installing them i noticed they periodically blink red every 15 seconds or so. i was concerned until i read that this is what they do to indicate everything is normal yes, that's correct: alarm equipment that FLASHES RED TO INDICATE NORMALITY

Funny story about smoke alarms: In the United States and around the world, detectors have a legally-mandated lifespan of 10 years. But why? There's nothing about the electronics that ages. Studies have been conducted to justify this regulation, which have concluded that after 10 years about 25% of the devices have become dysfunctional. That appears compelling, except that the usual reason for that dysfunction is that either the replaceable battery has died or someone has removed it completely. https://www.safelincs.co.uk/why-should-smoke-alarms-be-replaced-after-ten-years/

Freakazoid_ posted:at least the better coffee pot is within your budget Some people come from cultures where rice is just an automatic part of every meal. A machine that reliably makes good rice without having to think about it or take up a stove burner, and then holds it at the right temp for food safety for several hours, is easily worth the $100 or so it actually costs. The microcontroller based ones still make good rice if you don't get the rice-to-water proportions quite right (which changes as your 50 lb bag ages a bit) where the classic two-position switch models will overcook or undercook your rice. If you really want to see high priced luxury rice cookers you gotta go with Korean pressure-cooker options like Cuchen or Cuckoo. There's a legit benefit there (they cook the rice way faster) but the nice ones also cost like $500+. This is hilarious both for the price and the very clear picture it paints of how much they care about the white-people market. His Divine Shadow posted:If I were to spend money like that it would be on a tecniworm brewer. No pointless electronics, just build quality and spare parts availability for decades. gently caress that, go Chemex. It's a single piece of borosilicate glass. My mom's lasted 40 years until a bad drop took it out. Total maintenance: soak the interior with a bleach solution once every few months, occasionally descale the kettle.

It's also literally just a plain glass bottle with a bit to hold coffee filters, so you have to do all the tedious pour-over coffee stuff manually with your own hands. I don't want to spend 5 minutes slowly dripping hot water out of a kettle into the coffee maker every morning! We have machines to do that for us.

Pro tip: you don’t have to do that. Dump water in about 1 cup/250ml at a time while you put together the rest of your breakfast and it’s fine. You might not reach ~the apex of handcrafted coffee perfection~ but it will taste way, way better than what you get out of a Mr Coffee or any other drip maker that isn’t brand new. 90% of the benefit of pour over coffee is that you can clean all the old nasty flavors out of your brewing equipment, because it’s just a simple glass/ceramic filter holder and an ordinary stovetop or electric kettle. You might be able to get similar results out of an obsessively cleaned machine, but… sometimes you don’t need the machine.

Frankly I doubt I would even notice the difference. I like to brew a pot of coffee and consume it slowly over an hour in the morning, if I got the time. Supposedly the coffee is supposed to go bad over that time because of the hot plate, but I can't tell. I like it and it's good enough for me. I'm sorta the anti hipster in that regard, whereas some people obsess over certain things, coffee or beer, I just say this is good enough and don't think about it any more. I just want a coffee brewer that works and beer that is cheap, it's good enough for me.
