Now I want to know what these slang sayings are

Currently Stitched Up by Barbarian Hermit, I pretty much wake up to it playing in my head

How much transparent plastic do you have as a building material in your house? Because we already have a non-plastic alternative - it’s called glass. And that’s what ALL the clear surfaces are in my house envelope.

That last one is exactly what I’m looking for, thanks

I’ve had a scootch through their website, but it seems that all their products have hdmi/USB-A on them somewhere, I just want USB-C and pass through power. Was there a specific one of their devices that does that? I may well have missed it, they seem to make a whole lot of stuff!

Not quite over my Brotato fixation, but also got the ultimate Borderlands 2 edition with all the DLC in the sale for very little, so I’m falling back into that pretty hard. Also picked up Cult of the Lamb, though I’ve not given it my full attention yet

I would have at least thought Hilti would get a mention, their tools are used on virtually every major building site in the western world

I’m reasonably sure that Lichtenstein makes more than just Neutrik connectors (though that’s an incredibly important contribution!)

I would add Radio Fip into the discussion, French, eclectic as hell, with many channels (though I pretty much only use the main one)

Conversely, I’m coming to the conclusion that I could probably live with just a steam deck, instead of a laptop etc. A portable screen, or my projector, my nice Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and I reckon it’ll do everything I really need day-to-day.

I don’t know exactly, my mate bought it, but if I recall rightly, it was about the same as you saved. Mined sweet fuck all though, so a 50w tube heater may have been a better bet…

We have a battery bank for our solar that was getting too cold in the freezing weather, and we used a little mining rig (that’s designed and marketed as a heater miner, to preempt the “it’s not designed for that” comments), and while it found exactly fuck all of value, it did keep them warm enough to keep our power on

Good Japanese tools are pretty much unparalleled

Do Americans think they don’t have an accent?

Electric Fight Orchestra is kinda fire

Author’s website, which, after playing a little text game, takes you to a better place to buy it from than Bezos’s fetid swamp - https://curiousvideogamemachines.com/

I’ve turned mine on, even if only on low, as I light the stove since first reading about this, but I think I’m a little more fact-absorbent than most people

Categorise them as Nearly Safe For Work

I read that running an extractor hood mitigates the risk a fair amount. Not completely, but enough that you shouldn’t worry if gas is your only option

They’re both X-trans V sensor recipes, though I think it probably shows more about my lack of understanding of the combined effects of the settings than anything else, because the end effect is pretty similar.
