Replacement whisk for our immersion blender, it's many years old, nice that spares can be had still.  Oh and some Meguiars ScratchX and PlastX.

One of these (19cm or 7½"): And one of these:  Made locally, for traditional finnish rye bread (in my region of the country anyway)

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:No it will not. People that don't wash their cast iron are gross. A properly seasoned pan will have the oil polymerized and it will take a hell of a lot more than a little soap to strip it. I scrape my pans constantly, always use a metal spatula and I scrape and scrape when cooking, both to loosen stuff that sticks but it also slowly smooths out the metal and it gets rid of any spot of seasoning that is not well adhered, it's kinda like survival of the fittest. Some soap and scrubbing is nothing when a metal spatula can't get it off. Though wipe it with oil afterwards as the soap makes it prone to rusting if not very dry. e: I'm sorry did I arrive too late for this discussion?

Yeah well lots of things that make sense aren't done by people until they've had a scare. In this case I was able to just pour water on it, only thing damaged was a piece of furniture we where going to throw away anyway.

I also have one, since 2007-8 maybe. It's great, in that it just works and never breaks like my old machines used to. I only use cheap preground coffee though.

I bought tools.    Stuff like this is why I only got an SSD equipped computer in 2019. And it's a 2nd hand PC from 2012. My previous one was a home build from 2007.

I bought a 2nd hand laser printer, 20 euros for this black & white only Brother HL-2240D. Good enough for me, we print very little and our old inkjet always dried up. Only thing I don't like is no ethernet port. But you can apparently buy small dedicated print servers now, USB to Wireless. Might do that, just use the my own PC as server for now.  Also bought: New pressure switch for my compressor.  New motor for my shopvac.  Acid brushes  Dovetail cutter for the mill (cheapo chinese stuff, half suspect it will break at once)

Jeza posted:A refreshing glass of milk Feels like is is a reference that went over my head. Also I misspoke, for any surfaces that'll touch O2, not from. For refurbishing my fathers old oxy acetylene sets.  Clean (but not pure oxygen clean)    I got two kits actually, one with a black handle that is more modern  I'll put this stuff in the ultrasonic cleaner with deionized water (3-5% solution) and clean out all the parts. Then it should be clean as hell. His Divine Shadow has a new favorite as of 12:04 on Jun 9, 2020 |

H110Hawk posted:The scary part is the cheap Chinese plasma cutter (designed and quality controlled in Germany!) Well the plasma cutter and oxygen are not related. Well sorta. I will use both of them to cut stuff, the oxygen will be an oxy propane setup for cutting thicker stuff, heating, burninating and brazing. Woulda liked a proper not chinese plasma cutter but even used, any decent quality ones are like a thousand euros... I did find one that looked kinda interesting but it was single phase only so little use to me who don't have american sized single phase fuses (max 16A, maybe 25A if I hook up right at my junction box) so I need a 3 phase model so I can utilize it fully.

I really liked Lagavullin, last time I bought it was in 2008 or 2009 when it was 65 euros a bottle, since then it jumped to 90 euros and now is just more expensive. So I haven't had any since 2010 or so and I probably never will buy another bottle. Frankly all the single malts have gotten really expensive in Finland lately and I have stopped buying them. Last I bought was Caol Ila at 40 euros, now at 60. I just stop buying things like that when they get too expensive. But I am like that, I felt it got too expensive too fast and I just stopped cold and moved on with my life. I think my whisky days are behind me.
