Yeah the round bottom induction ones always seemed weird and expensive, but the wok rings claim to work with round and flat bottom on induction while allowing you to lift or shift the wok.

Obviously you'd lose some of the safety by having a hot shorted turn on top of the inductor, but hot bits that burn you are a permanent aspect of the current gas hob so I guess I'd just not touch the spicy bit while cooking?

Well, this thread took a turn for the relevant. I've been looking for a 90cm induction range for ages, and none of them have the wok dip I was absolutely certain I'd seen before.

How do these rings work? Do they heat up as if they were a pan and pass that heat to the wok? Seems... inefficient.

Edit: 15 is the age by which all Good People should hate the Tories.

I've only ever seen the wok ones as standalone units like

or on commercial kitchen sized ranges for two or three chefs to :discourse: at the same time or super fancy ones that look like they cost a fortune.

The rings hold the wok, and heat up, and also act as a shorted turn so that the magnetic field passes somewhat into the wok while it is resting on the ring, but also so that you can lift and shift without the ring turning off. So not as efficient as a dedicated wok ring, but better than just balancing a wok on a normal one.

Wouldn't you need china/russia/NK levels of control to "ban" vpn's though? What even is the point that will never happen?

The point, as with all such incredibly broad laws, is to give you more tools with which to gently caress up the lives of the people you do go after, and to eliminate competition to your own illegal activities. Simply making enough of your citizens' everyday existence illegal can be a powerful tool to let them know that they only live and enjoy their lives through the continued generosity of their government.

One of the strategies of totalitarian regimes is to have legal regulations (criminal laws) so severe that, if taken literally, everyone is guilty of something. But then their full enforcement is withdrawn. In this way, the regime can appear merciful: ‘You see, if we wanted, we could have all of you arrested and condemned, but do not be afraid, we are lenient …’

Whichever gobshite executive at DPD who decided not to suspend 24 and 48 hour delivery options, in an attempt to get us to blame the workers for delayed parcels. is a oval office who has earns their spot against the wall.

I know it’s deliberate because when I called about the 24 hour delay on a perishable box of frozen goods the woman kept reading from a script blaming the workers, and when I said it’s perishable, you know it’s perishable and you accepted it as a 24 hour, she repeated the same line blaming strikers.

DPD are probably dead because of this, with fedex there to take that market, it’s the way they have been taking the money and then simply not showing up to collect for 3 weeks which is pissing off the bread and butter businesses who load a lorry a day. Could have paid the workers in line with inflation, found the gently caress out.

Will the newspaper daily comics' inherent salaciousness focus their attention on the Mone-centred corruption thing?

Will mouthwatering Michelle (51) be the one to drop the veil, expose everything, and finally get them out?

Looked her up on wikipedia, came across this:

quote:

In December 2021, a wealth manager of Indian heritage accused Mone of sending racist text messages to him after the two were involved in a 2019 yachting incident in Monaco, which resulted in the death of a person. He said that Mone called him "a waste of a man's white skin" via text.[64]

Couldn't have happened to a lovelier person.

quote:

A spokesperson for Mone said she was not racist because "Baroness Mone and her husband have built over 15 schools in Africa in the past three years";

Oh hey it turns out if you call DPD and tell them that if they let your shipment of dead rats defrost then they’ll get a box of maggots I’ll refuse to sign for then they magically can deliver it within 24 hours after all.

Someone must have googled the company name on the box and gone “oh poo poo this box really is full of dead rats”

Got a union related query for you all.

Due to a change of ownership at my job earlier this year and the union that I and my colleagues were in seeming pretty wishy-washy, I took the precaution of joining two additional unions. Seemed a good idea at the time, but now I have an ongoing issue regarding unpaid overtime and I'm not sure how to approach things. I intend to ask all unions for help, after all I'm paying for them; should I tell them I have two other unions on the case or not? Will they be bothered that I'm in multiple unions?

On a related note, what recourse is there for getting back unpaid wages after leaving a job?

Finnishpendence day today so I'm off work. Making finnish christmas tarts. Prune jam in the center.


Gotta be careful how you fold them, wrong way and they start to look a bit fashy...



Also one batch with apple sauce instead.


The difference between a merely good christmas tart and an excellent one is if the puff pastry is made with real butter or merely margarine. The butter one isn't really even more expensive and the difference in taste is great.
