Thanks for the suggestions, we have amazing consumer protections on consumer electronics here so I will weigh that against the alternatives. I am also not surprised the market is over-saturated. Ultimately an immersion circulator is a really simple device that does a simple job. You can see...

I received a food vacuum for Christmas so I figured I should finally pick up a sous-vide machine. I planned on going with the Sansaire (no wireless bullshit), but apparently the company went out of business? Except the machine is still being sold everywhere brand new, which is a little...

You're right, I have absolutely no clue what I am talking about.

I can't tell if you are joking or not. As part of trying out a new engine I built a first person character controller (note: I am not a programmer) which included climbing mechanics and climbing assets in about 2 hours. A third person controller would only be slightly more complicated due to...

38 never, ever had a chance of turning a profit. That place was an utterly dysfunctional mess being run by completely incompetent people. After Schilling burned through millions of his own dollars he turned to every ball player and private firm he could find, everyone turned him down because...

My way around it was to keep the kitchen inside the "freezer area" by one wall and then double insulate outside the kitchen. I then store all my meals on shelves in the kitchen. If they are at least refrigerated they should last long enough to be eaten. You could also use a second air...

If it is just for data, few users, and no streaming any media (no transcoding) then you could go with a Synology DS218j. Other people probably know more than me, but the Synology stuff generally comes well recommended. However, that is a 2018 model (the -18- part of the model #) so they will...

Wireless charging is slow, expensive, terribly inefficient. I have a wireless mouse that I plug in maybe once a week to charge from a retractable USB cable that is plugged into my monitor and sits hidden under it until I need it. I use once cable for my headset, keyboard, and mouse since they...

Like most people you want your project to do well if only for the feeling that you have't wasted the last 2-3 years of your life. Even when you don't work large amounts of ridiculous overtime for no compensation (which you shouldn't) you are still spending 40 hours a week doing something.

I don't own one yet, if you think I should upgrade than you probably highly recommend I buy my first one :)

I've been holding out for the second version of the primary switch console and have been reading about the recent release. While the upgrades are nice, I was hoping for a bit more. Do you guys think they will release something soon or should I just buy the damn thing?

If the beginning of DS is anything like the beginning of MGSV then I look forward to the Youtube video. It is in so bad that it is good territory of awful and belongs on an episode of Best of the Worst. Yes, this is a Drive-by shitpost, but Kojima is the most overrated hack in the industry. I...

They've unfortunately been gone for years at this point. I do miss being lectured on how MMOs are made.

Kaines. You are fucking retarded. That is all.

FFS, weapons don't have serrations because they are a help when you saw and a hindrance when you aren't. Sawing requires time and stability, which you don't have in a fight. Thus you see serrations on tools (time), and don't see them on weapons (no time). I hate myself for even having to...

A good phone with a decent camera or, even better a DSLR with the proper lens, would be better and faster than using a scanner to digitize the pictures. Our artists usually just use their phones. If you have a ton to do you should set up a little rig so that you can just slide them in and out...

You are totally right, Bodum is generally overpriced junk, I don't really recommend any of the stuff they make. The one you posted looks solid, and is much cheaper. I Googled around and the one we have is actually a Stelton, which is another overpriced Danish brand, so my confusion is...

Just an insulated one that came with the future wife, Bodum I think. As others have said you need a coarse grind for it to work properly, fortunately they are pretty popular here so you can buy it anywhere (even the supermarket) with the right grind. If you can't do that then drip is a way...

French press works great in this scenario too. Bonus points for not having a coffee machine clutter my counter.

Fiance is allergic to dogs and cats so we ended up with a pair of budgies. Overall I think they make great pets. They are pretty easy to take care of while still having plenty of personality. The larger parrots are much smarter and more interesting, but are also much harder to take care of...

For investing low/no fee general index funds is the way to go. As for dealing with finances, here is what we do with 2 incomes, but you can do the same thing with one income. We get paid once a month on the same day, our paychecks go into a common "Salary Account." From there a whole bunch of...

I still don't understand why devs let their company bully them into death marching. I learned my lesson after the first job and haven't done one since. Give your estimates based on a proper work week and when they push back just repeat that your estimate is accurate and that is what you will...

That is just straight up some grade A bullshit. Not only is she unbelievably wrong about lifting weights, which is by far the most productive use of your limited time in the gym, but to be on your case about how you work out takes nagging to a level I find incomprehensible. I honestly don't...

There is no problem with Epic opening their own store and competing with Steam. The problem is that handing out fistfuls of money for exclusive properties so that they are only available on an inferior platform which is missing a lot of features. They aren't competing by offering an superior...

Looks pretty good! You are right that you shouldn't use a rolling pin, you want to stretch it by hand with a specific technique. As for the bottom not cooking at the correct rate, that is much harder and one of the limitations of a home oven. The best solution I've found is using a pizza...

Fortunately for all of us this isn't a private chat and you aren't everyone. People have in fact asked for opinions on the game that weren't you, and they received them. Some people even agreed with me (imagine that). Your rabid defense for what is clearly an incompetently made junk product...

Funnily enough I have a few hundred hours in the X games across the series, and watched them become increasingly worse. Egosoft's design incompetence leads to them screwing up the things they occasionally get right and failing to address all of the things they keep getting wrong. This results...

I understand them perfectly, which is why it was so easy for me to deconstruct.

I detailed exactly how and why the game would fail as a game before it even came out. It then proceeded to do so in exactly the way I described it would. This is outside the giant list of bugs and outright broken mechanics that many other people predicted. The game is empty, shallow, boring...

Sometimes it hurts being so right all the time.

Going to start my first cabbage ferment tonight, wish me luck. I will report back in a week with the results :)

It depends. No way of knowing without having a look at the internal structure of things.

It honestly still looks like procedurally generated mush to me, especially the screenshots above. And nothing at all like the infamous trailer.

You mean as a game developer that derives my living off selling the fruits of my labor I am disgusting for wanting compensation for my work? How about you fuck right off. "Downloads" are not something the government let's me pay taxes in, nor the bank accepts as mortgage payments. And if that...

Stop being a commie faggot and pay people for their hard work. If you are too poor and/or living in too much of a shit-hole to participate in the glorious enterprise of market capitalism I advise trying to remedy that before wasting time with other people's stolen work.

Just buy the game you freeloading fuck

Great, I was eyeing one of those already. I have Global knives (all of which I purchased at huge discounts), which if I understand correctly use a proprietary alloy that is somewhere between carbon steel and stainless steel in hardness. The Global honing rod is stupid overpriced, so there is...

I'm a kitchen minimalist, but I think this is one of the things worth having. I use it for the standard stuff like crushing spices, salt, and garlic (better and faster than when I use the knife). But I swear it makes better guacamole than any other way I've tried, it has a creamier texture and...

It's more for the hard crusted sourdough, which would probably dull the chef's knife :D As far as sharpening goes, do you have a brand preference for stones and honing rods?

I read somewhere a reputable knife supplier talking about knife sets and how stores only sell based on "piece count" and they are a complete waste of money. It is essentially a scam to trip you into thinking there is more value than there is. I admit I have more knives than I need, but I do...
