My grandma has an extremely old all-in-one gas cooker with eye-level grill and has managed to not explode her house with it despite having dementia. Moved into a home a few weeks back though so if anyone sees a fireball coming from the direction of Hampshire it'll be my alcoholic nonagenarian grandfather trying to make cheese on toast.

It's fascinating to see how, in the modern world, so many people essentially succumb to internet addiction and allow their online personality to overtake them, like that black mirror episode where the guy dies and gets replaced with an android programmed from his Facebook comments. I guess the confinement of the last few lockdowns really shattered people's perception of reality and now they perceive hordes of rampaging dick-people tearing apart the very fabric of reality Edit: sebzilla this isn't referring to your grandpa btw

Brendan Rodgers posted:You should wear pants no matter how you're cooking, especially if oil is involved. When my nephew was 3 (he's 35 now) he decided to get up very early and make my sister breakfast in bed. He managed to pour boiling water all over his weenie. (He was in the nude when he did it - he went through a phase of pulling all his clothes off at any opportunity).

You'll be shopping in Waitrose and voting LibDem next (except IIRC you don't live in the UK). Unrelated: For the past week I've started getting emails from UKGoons discord! I haven't had one for about 4 years, wondered why they'd started up as I have been on the discord just 1x this year and have no idea what I'm doing on there.

Runcible Cat posted:Since we're talking cookers does anyone know why the hell I can't find an electric one with an eye level grill? Every time I think I've found one and click through it's actually a gas one. Also most kitchens are built with the idea of having the ventilation fan above the cooker.

They do make a difference though but I don't know how it's dome. I've got some "fancy"* Judge pans which definitely go super hot, I can't use them at max heat since they'll flat out scorch anything in 10s flat - I have to use them at 7/9. Everything else I run at max and only turn it down if I need it to simmer. *£30

I think you want a combination of magnetism and resistance, so that it responds to the magnetic field of the inductor and also gets angry about it.

Inductors are objectively better in every way, but I still enjoy cooking on gas way more. I’m used to my electric hob now and it does the job but man it’s a lot more fun working with real flame

The absolute worst kind of hob is glass-top electric. Takes forever to heat up, and forever to cool down, and if you spill anything on it, congrats, it is now permanently welded to the surface. Or to be more specific, anything that lands in the centre of the burner where it gets super hot will instantly vaporise into superheated plasma and vast quantities of black smoke, but you get a nice ring of atomically fused carbon around the outside where it's hot enough to irreversably bond food to the glass but not hot enough to disappear it. I was unlucky enough to have one in the last place I rented and it was as fun as it sounds.

I grew so rich that I was sent, Via pocket-borough, into parliament. I always voted at my party's call, I never thought of thinking for myself at all. I thought so little they rewarded me, By making me the health secretary.

And the weak excuse that we should be supporting the energy companies because they are looking for green solutions is beyond laughable, that would be expensive and would let them make more money. All the energy companies that went out of business were poo poo at business. The ones that are left are exploiting the situation knowing that the government will bail them out rather than the people,

No milk at all at the Co-op, first time I've seen that even in panic buying times. Actually not true. There was no dairy milk, lots of oat and almond milk and so on. I wonder if there's a conspiracy theory that "vegan food is weird and different and turns you into a woke gay" was started by vegan preppers to ensure that there's always a supply.

I mentioned a couple of days ago that dairy products are rocketing up in price. It may be related. Don't know what's going on there? Maybe Sunak's filling his swimming pool with it instead of sewage water? Bathing in asses' milk. Halva however has held steady for the past year, £2.40 for 250g in Waitrose - the only place to get it in town, well there's the health food shop but it's double the price in there.

OwlFancier posted:I grew so rich that I was sent, Good post. I’m so profoundly dispirited about this country. My wife moved here in 2018 from the united of states (Pacific Northwest) to some degree in the genuine hope of a not-Trumpian country. Sadly the joke’s on her. We’re so profoundly, probably irreversibly hosed. Genuinely considering just going fully remote-work and moving in with my parents in the highlands. It’ll probably murder my mental health but with the cost of living I’m not sure if there are many other good options. I look at the enough is enough thing and then I look at liz truss and I think that the conservatives always have this get out clause: they just hold their nerve and simply don’t do anything. We’re operating in this headspace where we believe that if things just get wonk enough something will have to give. But that’s reliant on the honesty-box system we already know is a sham and really? I reckon you could have a three month general strike and it wouldn’t actually achieve anything at the systemic level. The cons will just style it out like they’ve done over the past decade. Style it out by making noises and changing nothing.

Been trying to think of a good way to put it when people say "anything is better than the tories" and they start using the argument that I think both sides are the same and i clearly just want more tories if i don't love and support keith. They're not the same, but are also both poo poo. Just different poo poo. Labour are captured by capital. The tories ARE capital. If the tories were a playground bully, Labour would be their tiny friend, leaning out from behind them, shaking their fist and saying "yeahhhh!" but then also being beaten up later when there's nobody else to pick on. Yet now, looking at that juvenile shitshow with the lollies. I don't think I can describe them anymore as it's far more stupid. Picture a wooden mallet smashing repeatedly into a mound of poo poo for eternity. Then everyone looking suprised at the spray, before going back to more mashing.
