Thanks that's very helpful. My neighbour has a bullmastiff-x-pitty that destroys balls in no time, maybe these will stick around for a week…

How durable are these?

Oils ain't oils though. These particular Eneloops have a huge number of charge cycles, which is their main strength. From my research…

The one I bought a few years ago instructed not to charge longer than (IIRC) 12 hours... I bought a Nitecore charger to replace it.

I haven't looked in a couple of years, but the answer then was no... I bought a Nitecore and it's fantastic.

Pressure cookers make great rice.

Got a reference to say that it's not safe to scrape it off and eat it? What harmful things does it contain that shouldn't be consumed?

They say that the non-stick stuff is all safe now, but I feel the same way about it. Can't go wrong with stainless. I cook rice in my…

It's big enough to fit a whole chicken, if that puts things into perspective. If you're talking about making a curry or a soup or similar,…

Guitar is a tough instrument to learn, with a very very high drop-out rate. According to Fender 90% of new guitarists give up within 12…

I've had one of these for a few years and it's amazing. The turbo mode is ridiculously bright for such a small torch.

Soy doesn't have gluten in it, soy is just a bean. Soy sauce, a sauce made with soy beans, usually has wheat flour/starch in it.

You're being downvoted for semantics. An "allergy" is a reaction that involves the immune system, whereas your MSG sensitivity that makes…

Klipper is a whole new printer operating system, basically. I don't know what the Sovol is like, but Klipper has features like input…

Ahh that's a great catch. I have the Duo Plus myself (with SV) and didn't realise this Duo Cuisine at Costco doesn't have it.

I was at Costco today and saw that they have the Instant Pot Duo 5.7L (in a sexy black colour) on special at the moment for $134.99.

I use the sous vide function on my IPD as well, but it's not really a 1 to 1 replacement for a stick. My IPD isn't super-accurate on the…

According to google, the Sabco gloves are vinyl. Nitrile and vinyl are not interchangeable.

And we should stop using incorrect terms for things, and accept corrections from others when it's pointed out. You meant "if you can…

The Q8 plus uses 3x 21700 batteries. You can charge them via USB in the torch, or in a charger if you have a compatible one.

I have both an SC31 and one of these Q8's. The light output of the SC31, especially in turbo mode, is more than enough for 99% of tasks.…

They are a thing, This particular refurbished BenQ model came out 6 or so years ago. Old tech.

It literally took 80 seconds to boil my kettle. If you're pre-boiling water so you can save a few seconds whenever you want your next cup…

If you're worried about wasting power, then you should be making sure you're not boiling more water than you're going to immediately use.

Of course you can, that's why "same function different experience" is an inappropriate response to the question that was asked.

A cheap car is different from an expensive one in a long list of ways, including different function. If someone asked how an M series BMW…

I just boiled my kettle to make a coffee. Took 80 seconds to go from ambient temp to boiling. How much of the heat do you think escaped…

That's the maximum wattage. I have numbers for the 5600X and the 5800X3D. At idle they're basically the same (61W vs 59W), with 1 core…

The second pot is extremely handy to have, so is the Instant Pot saucepan lid that's also available. I cook rice in my stainless pot and…

People would mount them on the wall tend to care the most.
